Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

After Liu Bei and Li Ji took a low-key tour of Rende Academy, they walked to the main entrance. There was also a stone tablet with the four sentences of Hengqu that Li Ji had written before.

"Build a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations."

Of course, since these four sentences were written by Li Ji, students privately call them "Zi Kun's Four Sentences", and Rende Academy also designated these four sentences as its motto.

Naturally, this was not the first time that Liu Bei knew these four sentences, but when he actually stood in front of this stone tablet, he was still shocked by it.

"Zi Kun's ambition can be regarded as a role model for the world. If everyone were like Zi Kun, there would be no worries in the current troubled times."

But after Liu Bei said this, he couldn't help but laugh.

How can Zikun be accessible to everyone?

"I only hope that the students in the academy can understand a little more truth from it and be inspired by these four sentences written by Zikun. That's me..."

At this point, Liu Bei's voice paused, and his mind, which had been a little depressed during this period, was inexplicably deeply touched.

Rather than wallowing in all kinds of dirty things like court corruption and factional fighting, it is better to focus on the lofty ambitions described in these four sentences.

Observing that the gloomy look in Liu Bei's brows and eyes completely dissipated without realizing it, a smile could not help but appear on Li Ji's lips.

These four sentences have an unimaginably huge appeal to a strong man.

Although with Liu Bei's tenacity, even if no one intervenes, he will never be shaken by the chaos of the current situation, but in this depressed stage, Liu Bei's ambitions may become more ambitious.

Just reviving the Han Dynasty and rebuilding the Han Dynasty is not enough, my lord!

Lord, take a longer view and support your subjects to carve out a more glorious future for you...

This time, Li Ji did not urge Liu Bei, but allowed Liu Bei to look up at the four sentences and think for a long time, until a thin layer of snow accumulated on the shoulders of Liu Bei and Li Ji.

Liu Bei just reacted suddenly, turned around and looked at Li Ji, who had been waiting nearby, quickly reached out to help Li Ji pat the snow on his shoulder, and said.

"Zikun, I'm sorry for your trouble and waiting."

"No problem."

Li Ji pulled a smile on his slightly frozen face, then raised his hand to brush away the snow for Liu Bei and said.

"As long as the lord is determined to move forward, Ji will be by his side, and any wind and frost on the road will be wiped away by the lord with one hand."

At this moment, Liu Bei felt that his hands and feet were slightly cold from the cold, but what he felt in his heart was extremely hot.

Immediately, Liu Bei bowed and worshiped him just as he had done when he first met him in Zhuoxian County. "Then please ask Zikun and Bei to walk together through the wind and snow to the other side."

Li Ji also returned the gift seriously and said. "The other side is not enough, how about walking to the end? My lord."

"it is good!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he felt that the world was vast, and he couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh.

The current situation is difficult, the Han Dynasty is on the verge of collapse, and the troubled times deduced by Zikun are coming...

so what?

It's just a bit of wind and snow. Zikun and I support each other, how can we not reach the other side?
And, we will definitely reach the end!

If the big man really fell, then he would just rebuild the big man bit by bit.

Immediately, Liu Bei held Li Ji's hand and walked out of Rende Academy side by side with Li Ji.

Feeling the changes in Liu Bei, Li Ji suddenly felt like "developing a master".

And as Liu Bei was completely inspired, he was no longer in the state where the enthusiasm of the young people was poured out by the darkness of the government. After Liu Bei and Li Ji walked out of Rende Academy, they simply did not return to the government office and went directly to the government office. Pulling him towards his mansion.

Moreover, Liu Bei specially sent people to invite Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were also in Wu County, and prepared to cook wine and hold a banquet in his mansion.

It has to be said that in the environment of falling snow, it is indeed an elegant thing to invite a few friends to cook wine in a pavilion.

Facing Li Ji, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Liu Bei never showed any airs of arrogance. Instead, he simply busied himself like an elder brother.

This reminded Li Ji of a poem.

"Green Ant's new grain wine, a small red mud stove. It's going to snow in the evening, can you drink a cup?"

However, in order to leave more opportunities for future generations of talented people, Li Ji already has a poem to decorate himself, so naturally there is no need to speak loudly to make future generations of talented people feel like they are living in his shadow.

Not waiting for a moment, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had nothing to do in the city at the moment, rushed to the mansion.

Compared with many civil servants who are busy as the new year is approaching.

With the end of the war with Shanyue and Kuaiji counties, many military generals have almost no use. Apart from leading their troops on occasional patrols, they can only train and vent their energy. Especially Zhang Fei, who was bored and ran back to help dig canals not long ago.

Therefore, after Zhang Fei sat down, he complained to Li Ji almost immediately.

"Mr. Zikun, you are so unfair to me. My second brother also led the troops to guard Fuchun Mountain before, and then he had a great time with Shan Yue."

"What about me? As a postal officer, I run around here and there every day. I committed a crime before and was ordered to build a river channel. When the punishment is over, the war will be over."

When Liu Bei heard this, he scolded lightly and said. "Yide, don't talk nonsense. No war is a great thing for the people. How can you feel unhappy because there is no war?"

Zhang Fei's big black face showed a bit of pitifulness and he spoke.

"Brother, I, my hands are itchy. I remember that the three of us brothers fought in the north and south before. As a result, there has been almost no fighting in the past year or so except for the group of bandits who attacked Yan Baihu."

"Brother, isn't the rebellion in Liangzhou just a temporary break in the winter? It will definitely start again in the coming year. How about asking the court to send a partial army to help, and let me lead the troops myself?"

Liu Bei almost categorically rejected Zhang Fei's suggestion. "impossible."

Yangzhou is more than a thousand miles away from Liangzhou. Sending troops on such an expedition will inevitably cause the military morale to fluctuate and the combat power it can exert is limited.

Moreover, if you send too many soldiers and horses, it will consume a lot of money and food. If you send too few soldiers and horses, it will be a drop in the bucket.

What's more, even if the situation is so critical that the Liangzhou rebels break through the Sanfu territory and the court orders all parties to help the king, Liu Bei will not be able to release Zhang Fei alone.

Zhang Fei, who was rejected, looked helpless, but he did not dare to disobey his elder brother's majesty, so he had no choice but to open his mouth and pour himself a large gulp of wine.

"Zikun, look at this Yide, he has not become more stable even after getting married." Upon seeing this, Liu Bei complained to Li Ji.

"Yide's usual temperament is so straightforward, not to mention that Yide has indeed not fought for a long time."

Li Ji responded like this, making Zhang Fei feel hope immediately and said. "Brother, you see Mr. Zikun supports me."

"Yide, Ji is not supporting you to go north to the land of three auxiliaries, but there are indeed places where troops may be needed after the year." Li Ji said with a smile.

"Where?" Zhang Fei asked quickly.

Moreover, Liu Bei and Guan Yu also turned their attention.

It is winter now, and there are no enemies around Wu County, so there should be no place to use troops.

Immediately, Li Ji picked up the charcoal blocks placed aside for cooking wine and drew a map of Wu County and Kuaiji County.

Even though the area actually controlled by Liu Bei today is only two counties, it is actually not small at all, stretching from the Yangtze River in the north to Yongning County (today's Quanzhou and Xiamen areas) in the south.

It is conceivable that the south of the Yangtze River in this era is vast and sparsely populated.

Even though Liu Bei continued to recruit refugees to replenish the population of Wu and Kuaiji counties, the actual population of Wu and Kuaiji counties was only close to 2.4 million.

Without the influence of Liu Bei and Li Ji, the combined native population of the two counties would only be more than 1.5 million.

After Li Ji finished drawing the map of Kuaiji County, he did not stop. Instead, he drew another circle on the east side of Yongning County that was comparable in size to Wu County.

"Zikun, what is this circle?" Liu Bei asked in confusion.

Li Ji threw aside the charcoal in his hand, took some water and washed his hands before speaking.

""Shang Shu·Yu Gong" divides Jiuzhou. It once said: Huaihai is only Yangzhou, and it has been recorded that: birds and flowers are dressed in clothes. Juehuo weaves shells, Juebao orange pomelo, Xigong. Along the rivers and seas, it reaches Huai, Si."

"People on the coastal islands of Yangzhou wear straw clothes, and are accustomed to putting clams in baskets and wrapping oranges and pomelos as tributes. These tributes have also been sent as far as the Huaihe River and Surabaya along the Yangtze River and Yellow Sea."

"At that time, I was quite curious about where the Yangzhou island barbarians recorded in "Shangshu Yu Gong" were? Since they were recorded in ancient books, they also belonged to Jiuzhou. They should also be the territory of our Han Dynasty, and their people should also be He should be one of my great Han people, but why has there been no trace of him for so long?”

Hearing this, Zhang Fei also reacted and said. "Mr. Zikun, could it be that the island recorded in "Shang Shu Yu Gong" is the place you painted?"

"Yes, I sent people south to search carefully, and finally lived up to the guidance of the sages and found traces of the island barbarians." Li Ji replied with a smile.

Suddenly, the eyes of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei showed a hint of heat.

Daoyi, found in "Shangshu Yu Gong", was transformed into Yangzhou among the nine states, but it is not in the territory of the Han Dynasty today. It is undoubtedly the land that the Han Dynasty lost inadvertently.

And to re-accept the island barbarians who have been a part of Kyushu since ancient times as a part of the Han Dynasty is undoubtedly in line with the righteousness. It is the recovery of lost territory, and it is a major event that will be sung by the world and recorded in history books.

"Me! Me!!"

Zhang Fei suddenly stood up and spoke repeatedly. "Mr. Zikun, what do you think of me? As long as I lead my troops to Daoyi, I will definitely bring Daoyi back to Kyushu."

At this moment, Guan Yu, who had always pretended to be cold and silent, also spoke.

"Mr. Zikun, my third brother is extremely brave but a little reckless. Recovering Daoyi is a big deal. Something may go wrong in Yide. Why don't we let Guan go there?" (End of Chapter)
