Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Of course, Li is not a risk-taker at all, so he is absolutely sure that he is willing to go overseas in person.

The sea is rough and the weather is unpredictable.

But with Li Ji's current grasp of celestial phenomena, and the fact that celestial phenomena are also part of the strategy, he can directly use the "strategy simulator" to deduce.

Therefore, if this was an era where professional navigators existed, Li Ji estimated that he would be among the best in the world.

Therefore, it can be said that only Li Ji personally leading the 30,000 troops can ensure the safety of the army to the greatest extent.

Considering all aspects, it is not that Li Ji must go, but that Li Ji has to go.

At the moment, Li Ji could only bow his hands and bow.

"Thank you for your lord's love. Even if I am broken into pieces, it will be difficult to repay me. But going here is a matter of success or failure. Although the journey is difficult, mountains and seas cannot change my mind. Only in this way can I help my lord quickly calm down the troubled times."

"My lord and I may have been together for a long time, but the time left to us in the world is not long, so I still ask your lord to agree to it."

After saying that, Li Ji bowed again and waited for Liu Bei's reaction.

Liu Bei waved his hand, his attitude and tone were particularly determined, and said.

Li Ji was moved by Liu Bei's trust and quickly refused.

Li Ji opened his eyes wide and looked at Liu Bei blankly.

If Li Ji leads an expedition, and there are thieves in his home, and Liu Zhibing goes to send them away, wouldn't that be the end of the world?

"The land of Wuhui has been pacified by Zikun, and the remaining four counties of Lujiang, Danyang, Jiujiang, and Yuzhang are generally on good terms with Bei. In addition, Tao Shijun of Xuzhou is nearby, and the order of the Han Dynasty still exists. Even if there is a Two robbers invade the territory, so what’s the worry?”

Then Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, etc. will quickly recruit more than 100,000 troops, not to mention Liu Yan, Liu Biao, Tao Qian and other state pastors who are one step ahead of Liu Bei and directly take charge of the military and political power of a state. They can also pull out more than 100,000 soldiers and horses at every turn. One hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

At present, Liu Bei actually controls only Wu County and Kuaiji County, and only has 50,000 soldiers. Only after extensive cultivation of fertile land, he is now slightly rich in food and grass.

The 40,000 troops and horses, except for some necessary soldiers, would probably have to completely deplete Wu County's troops, and even some of them would have to be transferred from Kuaiji County to reach this number.

"Zikun, 30,000 troops and horses are not enough, 40,000! Take 40,000 troops and horses to Yingzhou, and take Zilong with you. Only in this way can you rest assured."

"The lord must have enough mobile troops by his side, and Ji has already brought Yide with him, so the lord must also have usable generals by his side."

Perhaps the situation in Wu County seems to be very good at the moment, but Li Ji, who has the advantage of foresight and foresight, knows that it is not enough, far from it.

"no!"

Once Dong Zhuo enters Beijing as originally planned, the chaos will officially begin.

Liu Bei's current situation is undoubtedly that he has more than enough to dominate Jiangdong after entering troubled times, but not enough to compete in the Central Plains.

"Furthermore, Bei is considered a man who knows how to fight. He can deal with mere thieves easily."

"No, the lord must keep available generals by his side to protect the lord." Li Ji said in a serious tone.

Even if Liu Bei and Li Ji occupy the Jiangdong target, they are not separate parties. Otherwise, what is the difference from Jiangdong Jerry in the original trajectory?
Therefore, Li Ji was anxious in his heart, knowing that even if Wu County continued to absorb refugees and maintain rapid development, the strength on the cards was still not enough.

Until a moment later, Liu Bei put his hands on Li Ji and said.

Naturally, Li Ji knew everything about Wu Commandery's current military situation.

Originally, Li Ji had been mostly convinced by Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was confident that he was also a person who "knows soldiers", which actually made Li Ji a little panicked.

But in terms of population, money, equipment, etc., they were still far inferior to other princes during the troubled times.

"It is enough to have regular seasons." Liu Bei replied.

Xiahou Bo had never commanded an army in his life. He was fine as a ranger or the leader of the Jinyi Division. If Xiahou Bo was really placed on the battlefield, instead of believing that he could save Liu Bei from the siege, it would be better to think that Liu Bei would succeed on his own.

"Ji Chang is inappropriate..."

But before Li Ji could finish speaking, Liu Bei raised his hand and interrupted. "Did Zikun forget that Master Lu is also in Wu County? With Master Lu here, why would Chou Xiao Xiao dare to violate the situation?"

This sentence convinced Li Ji, who reluctantly agreed.

"Then just follow your lord's advice."

After Liu Bei heard this, a smile appeared on his face, but he couldn't help but sighed and said.

"Zi Kun is going to Yingzhou. If it is a big thing that can be done, then he will do his best. If it is impossible, there is no need to force it. Even if there is no gold and silver in Yingzhou, as long as Zikun is by his side, he is confident that he can calm down the troubled times. ”

"Yes, my lord."

……

And even if there are sea ships, it is not easy to go to Yingzhou.

The three armies have not moved yet, food and grass go first!
Even if Li Ji's plan is to set off after the beginning of the next spring, he still needs to start mobilizing his soldiers in advance and prepare for the expedition.

Especially grain and grass have been transported to Youzhou for storage early. Otherwise, it would obviously be too late to wait until next spring to transport grain and grass. In addition, considering that Guan Yu led his army to Yizhou, there was a lot of seasickness.

Considering that the distance between Yingzhou and Yizhou was much further than that of Yizhou, and it was necessary to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers as much as possible, they began to organize the soldiers to adapt to navigation early.

In addition, Li Ji also needs to determine the development framework of Wu County in the next two years in advance, and arrange a number of officials to assist Liu Bei to avoid discovering some backyard fires.

At this moment, Li Ji inexplicably experienced the mentality of Zhuge Liang who left Qishan seven times in the original trajectory. Not only did he need to prepare for the battle in the front, but he also needed to be carefully arranged in the rear to avoid any mistakes.

Especially the grain problem, which has not yet been completely resolved, undoubtedly makes Li Ji a little worried about it.

At this moment, there is no shortage of rice grown in Wuhui's land, but most of them are other grains besides rice.

Because the yield of rice at that time was not only significantly different from other grains, but the environment and conditions for growing rice were also relatively harsh. Therefore, many agricultural officials would plant different grain types in different fields according to local conditions.

In terms of specific farming experience, not to mention Li Ji, even Liu Bei and others are far less rich than those agricultural officials and veteran farmers who are dedicated to farming.

Therefore, in addition to grain seeds, the only things Li Ji can assist in providing grain production to a certain extent are the plow and the promotion of fertilizers.

However, Li Ji knew very well that the optimal solution for farming yields south of the Yangtze River was rice!
As for the problem of rice seeds, Li Ji has never slowed down in his search.

But Li Ji vaguely remembered that after its popularity in the feudal era, a type of rice called "Champa rice" completely changed the planting ecology south of the Yangtze River and caused a leap in grain production.

However, Li Ji searched through relevant records and maps, but could not find any record of the name "Champa" in this era.

In this case, either the name "Champa" has not yet appeared, or "Champa" is too far away from the Eastern Han Dynasty, so there are no relevant records.

(PS: There was a Champa State in this era, but due to different languages, the recorded name in Han books was Linyi State.

It was not until the Tang Dynasty that it was called the "Champa Kingdom", and its full name was "Champa Puluo". "Puluo" means "city" in Sanskrit, so it was later recorded as Champa.

And its location is in Rinan County, the former Jiaozhi governor in the Western Han Dynasty, that is, since ancient times...)
However, Li Ji generally remembered that the location of the city should be in the area south of Jiaozhou, so he dispatched a group of Jinyisi to take a sea ship all the way south to search for grain.

Only by finding "Champa Rice" or cultivating other higher-yield and suitable rice varieties, and then popularizing them in Wuhui's land, can the Liu Bei Group truly no longer have to worry about food.

And so on, all kinds of things...

By the time Li Ji busily arranged everything and handed it over to Liu Bei in detail, it was already the spring plowing period.

As the expedition period approaches, it has gradually become known to everyone that Li Ji is about to lead his troops to sea.

For this reason, on the day of Liu Bei's temporary expedition, he specially asked Li Ji to take a rest for three days, in order to allow Li Ji to spend time with Li Xiang, who was still in the period of babbling.

However, when Xiumu returned home, Li Ji almost without hesitation left Li Xiang in the care of the wet nurse, while he went to accompany Cai Zhaoji.

For Li Ji, his son will only affect his performance.

Fatherly love doesn't exist.

Cai Zhaoji, who learned that Li Ji was about to go on an overseas expedition, was reluctant to give up in the past few days, but she did not say anything to stop her husband's ambition. Instead, she remained as gentle as possible and served Li Ji with all her strength.

It is inconvenient to go into details.

It's just that Li Ji, who was always used to walking to the government office after Xiu Mu, this time took a carriage to the government office to meet Liu Bei, and then headed to the Wujun port together.

Liu Bei, who consciously got on Li Ji's carriage, said subconsciously.

"Is Zikun reluctant to say goodbye to Xiang'er? But Zikun doesn't have to worry about his family. He will definitely treat Xiang'er as he would treat him, and he will not let Xiang'er suffer any injustice."

However, when Liu Bei sat firmly in the carriage and looked up at Li Ji, he suddenly noticed that Li Ji's face was slightly pale, and he couldn't help frowning in concern.

"Is it possible that Zikun, Xiu Mu, has not been enjoying family happiness at home these past few days, but instead spent his energy on deducing the expedition?"

Suddenly, Liu Bei's eyebrows couldn't help but show deep worry.

Li Ji's current state is the same as that of the Yellow Turbans who spent many times deducing their strategies. Seeing this, Liu Bei felt distressed and asked warmly.

"Zi Kun, why don't you postpone the departure date a little? It won't be too late to wait until Zi Kun recovers his health before setting off."

Li Ji waved his hand and said.

"All the soldiers of the three armies have been prepared, how can we postpone it? Don't worry, my lord, Ji is fine. Moreover, Ji Xiumu did not waste his energy at home, but had a good time to rest."

Liu Bei obviously didn't believe what Li Ji said. How could anyone look worse the more he recuperates.

It was obvious that Zikun was secretly consuming his thoughts as before, but he didn't want to speak out for fear of worrying himself.

This made Liu Bei feel more worried and more moved.

In the end, Li Ji personally went into danger overseas and spent so much time and energy on it, after all, it was for his own capital to prepare for the troubled times and revive the Han Dynasty.

'It's all Zikun's hard work to prepare...'

Liu Bei, who was suppressing his reluctance as Li Ji's expedition was about to begin, couldn't help but secretly wipe his tears at this moment. (End of chapter)
