Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

And now after listening to Xu You's analysis, Guo Yi also knew that he did not have many escape routes.

Immediately, in addition to actively contacting and supporting Shanyue and recruiting craftsmen to build ships as Xu You said, Guo Yi also continued to vigorously recruit brave men in the county, even resorting to forced conscription.

But as time went by, the situation seemed not to develop as Guo Yi expected.

Building ships and recruiting brave men are progressing smoothly, but the battle on the Fuchun Mountain side is not as fierce as Guo Yi thought.

Facing the copper and iron walls set up by more than 10,000 Han troops led by Guan Yu and Xu Sheng in Fuchun Mountain, even though Shan Yue was skilled in jungle warfare, it did not mean that Shan Yue could carry out offensive operations.

Especially in large-scale battles, cooperation is particularly important. This is undoubtedly Shankoshi's shortcoming.

What's more, Shanyue has never been a unified group, but a collective name for a large number of specific tribes.

At the beginning, the more than 30,000 Shanyue who gathered near Fuchun Mountain were among the big cakes drawn by the people sent by Guo Yi, and they believed in the fantasy of capturing Fuchun Mountain and entering Wu Commandery.

However, after each tribe ran into the iron wall set by Guan Yu, each of the Shanyue tribes gradually came to their senses.

For each independent Shanyue tribe, once the tribe's losses are too great, it will be annexed by the neighboring tribes, so they are not willing to sacrifice their lives.

Similar to this kind of loose alliance, Li Ji has long seen through the essence of it. As long as there is a slight setback, it must be the result of looking forward and looking back, and pushing each other away.

On the contrary, Guo Yi repeatedly urged Shanyue to attack Fuchun Mountain with financial and food support, which actually made these Shanyue realize another way to make a fortune that was easier than attacking Wu County.

That is, instead of using your life to attack, or struggling to make a living by picking fruits and hunting in the mountains and forests, it is better to just lie down around Fuchun Mountain. In this way, is it not considered to be eating a portion of the emperor's food?
Therefore, the more urgent Guo Yi urged Shan Yue and the words he used, the calmer the battlefield on the other side of Fuchun Mountain became. Shan Yue's main goal even gradually shifted from capturing Fuchun Mountain to defrauding Guo Yi of money and food.

This made Guo Yi both angry and jealous. He was so angry that he simply cut off the money and food support from Shanyue. But he knew that if that happened, the group of Shanyue would definitely disperse and even rush into Kuaiji County. Do some looting.

As for Guo Yi, the group of mountains and rivers cannot be separated.

Without the more than 10,000 elite troops in Fuchun Mountain being tightly restrained by those mountains, how could Guo Yi have a chance to invade Wu County with only the troops under his command?
The past two months have passed by in a blink of an eye, and the battle situation on the Fuchun Mountain side has not changed at all. Instead, Guo Yi's large amount of money and food collected in Kuaiji County have been filled in like a flood. How can this make Guo Yi not annoyed?

"I'm so angry!"

"It's not enough to make a fool of yourself!!!"

Xu You felt helpless when he looked at Guo Yi who was furious in the big tent because Shanyue was still accepting money and food, and the attack on Fuchun Mountain was a complete show.

Those mountains are so high that the mud cannot support the wall...

Whenever someone with a little ambition and ability appears in Shanyue, he should take the opportunity to unify Shanyue, and then attack Fuchun Mountain with all his strength and enter Wu County to seize a piece of territory.

As a result, those mountain peaks saw that Fuchun Mountain was difficult to attack, so they were content with being fed by Kuaiji County's money and food every day and lying there.

It really... made Xu You a little unable to hold back.

And Xu You also tried various ways to stimulate or drive away Shanyue, but to no avail. It seemed that Shanyue's pursuit of life was limited to living, and it was best to lie down and live.

Therefore, under the premise that Guo Yi did not dare to cut off the money and food to support Shanyue, the Shanyue group could be said to be in a state of insecurity.

'It's so useless! '

Xu You sighed secretly, and understood that there was a reason why the Han people drove the mountains into the deep mountains and old forests.

Moreover, it is no wonder that the diseases of mountain jumps have always been regarded as diseases of mustard moss. In fact, these mountain jumps are always difficult to cultivate, but they are often disgusting, and occasionally they will rush out from the deep mountains and forests to plunder when they are hungry.

Guo Yi vented his anger in the tent, and then asked Xu You.

"Mr. Ziyuan, what should we do now?"

Hearing this, Xu You had no choice but to speak bravely. "My lord, Mr. Fu, is also waiting for the right time."

The implication is that now Guo Yi can also lie down.

Not to mention that Xu You's original plan was for Shanyue to act as the main force and Kuaiji County to take advantage of the opportunity. As a result, the mountains were now becoming unusable, which instead made Kuaiji County, which originally wanted to act as a fisherman, stand out in the front.

However, after the previous battle, Guo Yi and Xu You unconsciously felt guilty for forcing the Qiantang River to cross.

Although Guo Yi has already prepared a large number of ships and has more than 25,000 troops deployed along the Qiantang River.

But facing Qiantang County, where even the people seemed to have been undisturbed during these two months, Guo Yi and Xu You both felt that Qiantang County was now in a state of uncertainty between fraud and empty city tactics.

On the surface, Wu County has not sent more troops to Qiantang County in the past two months. Even Li Ji goes in and out of the county office to handle official business as usual every day, as if the more than 20,000 troops on the other side of the Qiantang River are nothing.

Empty city strategy? !

Xu You's rationality was almost certain that what Li Ji was using now was the bluff and empty city strategy, but he had already stumbled into a fight in the same place last time, which made Xu You not completely sure.

'I'm not sure, it's still a scam...'

Xu You, who was also in a dilemma, could only propose a plan to wait for the weather. Maybe a meteorite fell from the sky and killed that monster Li Ji.

……

In fact, what Li Ji is using now is really the "empty city strategy".

If Xu You really suggested that Guo Yi lead an army of more than 25,000 to forcefully cross the Qiantang River, then Li Ji, who currently had no more than 5,000 infantrymen and more than 1,000 cavalry at his command, could only retreat to Qiantang County for the time being.

However, if this is the case, Li Ji can only temporarily abandon Fuchun Mountain, and then order Guan Yu and Xu Sheng to mobilize Fuchun Mountain to return reinforcements and have a head-on confrontation with Guo Yi.

However, the losses caused by fighting in Wujun itself will definitely be considerable.

Moreover, Koriyama Yue's mental state was wavering. Maybe Li Ji wanted to take back Fuchun Mountain from Koriyama Yue's hands, which would not be a simple matter.

Of course, these were just back-ups. What Li Ji was sure of was that as long as he stayed in Qiantang County and showed his face in front of others every day, Guo Yi would not dare to venture into Qiantang County.

At the current county government office, Guo Jia was already handling various military affairs with great proficiency, while Li Ji was enjoying tea leisurely.

Although Guo Jia is not as hard-working and as diligent as Gu Yong, after some guidance from Li Ji, for Guo Jia, the military chores involving thousands of soldiers can be handled in an instant and without any mistakes.

Easy to use!

Love using it! ! !

Compared with Xia Houlan, who lacks talent, Guo Jiake is obviously much better.

Suddenly, Guo Jia stopped, walked towards Li Ji holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and said.

"Sir, a letter from my lord."

Although Guo Jia did not officially worship Liu Bei as his master, as Li Ji's student, Guo Jia now followed Li Ji's position and called Liu Bei his master to show respect.

When Li Ji heard this, his slightly lazy expression disappeared, he took the bamboo slips and opened them to read.

After a while, Li Jicai put the bamboo slips away helplessly and said.

"My lord is urging me to return to Wu County again."

Hearing this, Guo Jia asked with some confusion.

"Sir, why would my lord urge you to go back? Now Kuaiji County and Shanyue dare not enter lightly because they are in awe of your name. Once you leave, the situation will change."

Li Ji said quietly. "It's less than seven days until my wedding day."

Suddenly, Guo Jia was a little confused.

Wedding? ? ! !
Seven days? !
These two words were connected together, and when they were placed on Li Ji, who was still making tea in a hurry, Guo Jia felt that his cerebellum was inexplicably twitching.

For a while, Guo Jia originally thought that Liu Bei was dissatisfied with Li Ji's delay in solving the threat to the southern part of Wu County and was planning to change his generals before the battle. Therefore, he was very dissatisfied and prepared to complain for Li Ji...

Li Ji's answer made Guo Jia swallow all the words abruptly and said.

"Then sir, it is indeed advisable to return to Wu County as soon as possible, and then ask the lord to send someone to Qiantang County to take charge."

"Indeed, it's almost time to return to Wu County. My lord originally only gave me a deadline of two and a half months, but unknowingly the deadline has arrived."

Li Ji said with some emotion, even inexplicably reluctant to give up.

After all, after the stalemate truly entered, Li Ji, who was in Qiantang County, was completely idle, and military affairs were handed over to Guo Jia in the name of "exercise".

Li Ji basically showed up at the gate of the county government office every day to intimidate Guo Yi across the river. The rest of the time he basically spent the rest of the time in the county government office besides making tea, reading books and playing chess.

Furthermore, with a book boy like Guo Jia who could talk about astronomy, geography, and military strategies, Li Ji not only did not feel bored, but actually lived a somewhat contented life.

Even now, Li Ji has resumed the habit of practicing sword skills and exercising with Zhao Yun every day in order to prepare for possible difficult battles in the future.

It looks like he's on an expedition, but he's actually enjoying himself and recuperating...

However, the comfortable time will pass so quickly after all, that Li Ji would have forgotten that there are only seven days left before the wedding day unless Liu Bei's letter urges him.

Guo Jia did not forget to remind.

"Sir, if you change generals before the battle, you must ask the Lord to send reinforcements before changing generals. Otherwise, as soon as Sir leaves, I am afraid that Guo Yi, who has been waiting for a good opportunity for a long time, will immediately make some changes."

"The person who replaces Mr. by then may not be able to defend himself against the enemy." (End of Chapter)
