Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

At the moment, the situation in Youzhou is worse than Li Ji expected.

Yang Zhong, the governor of Liaodong, Liu Zheng, the governor of Youbeiping, and Gong Qichou, the captain of Wuhuan School, were killed. As a result, Youzhou was cut off in half, and Wuhuan had begun to invade Yuyang County.

In addition, Yuyang County, Guangyang County, and Zhuo County in Youzhou are mostly plain areas, which can maximize the advantages of the Wuhuan cavalry.

At the current point, the situation in Yuyang County is not clear, and Wuhuan has entered Yuyang County in large numbers to gather.

It’s too late to save Yuyang County!

The number of Wuhuan cavalry that could be gathered reached more than 100,000.

At this moment, Li Ji weighed his own forces. Wu County had 30,000 troops, Gongsun Zan's army only had more than 10,000 troops, and Youzhou Mu Liu Yu had more than 30,000 troops stationed in Jixian.

In addition, a considerable number of Han border troops were stationed at the borders of Dai County and Shanggu County, but those border troops could not be used.

Otherwise, if the borders in the direction of Daijun and Shanggujun are also lost, then not only Wuhuan will cause chaos, but Xianbei will also be involved in the chaos in Youzhou.

By then, it is very likely that the entire northern part of the Central Plains will be completely destroyed.

And how could Gongsun Zan know that Li Ji's thoughts beside him had changed thousands of times in just a blink of an eye, and even from the military situation marked on the map, he had already thought of the general gains and losses on the map.

The apparent military strength gap between the two sides is clear at a glance.

The key to this battle is to sharpen this double-edged sword without hurting Liu Bei and being able to be used by Liu Bei.

After all, the dilemma Gongsun Zan faced in the original trajectory was that he was suppressed by Liu Yu at home, at odds with Yuan Shao in the south, and threatened by Wuhuan and Xianbei in the north. In the end, he was besieged internally and externally and was defeated and died.

Therefore, in Li Ji's view, Gongsun Zan's defeat was not due to martial prowess, but due to character flaws.

Therefore, it is different from Jia Xu's judgment that helping Gongsun Zan to resist Wuhuan will cause all harm but no benefit.

In Li Ji's view, Gongsun Zan can definitely be regarded as a double-edged sword.

Internally, as long as Gongsun Zan firmly controls Youzhou, he will not only be able to continuously provide a large number of good war horses to Jiangdong, which is short of horses, but also form a force with Jiangdong to suppress the Central Plains from the south to the north.

Wu Huan must be stopped in Guangyang County, and Wu Huan's spine must be completely broken so that he will never dare to show his fangs to the Han people again.

Compared with the group of advisers under Yuan Shao who are each more insidious and shoulder to shoulder, Gongsun Zan may not know how many tricks he has fallen into until his death.

However, Gongsun Zan also had problems, big and small. He was unsympathetic to the people, retaliated with vengeance, and was too strong-willed...

It's just that Wuhuan currently has more than 100,000 cavalry troops. Even if Li Ji is included, the total number of Han troops is less than 80,000, and most of them are infantry.

Gongsun Zan valued justice over profit, was heroic, tough on foreign affairs, and had a very deep friendship with Liu Bei.

On the contrary, Li Jina said with a trace of inquiring eyes, which made Gongsun Zan think that he had said something wrong.

While Li Ji was constantly weighing the intelligence of both sides, he turned to look at the resolute and heroic Gongsun Zan beside him, and the idea of ​​​​supporting Gongsun Zan as much as possible came up in his heart.

At this moment, Li Ji inexplicably thought of the terms "Five Huanhua" and "Two-legged Sheep", and his eyes became fierce.

Li Ji's judgment is that if he can help Gongsun Zan firmly grasp the power of Youzhou before the troubled times, then his help in helping Liu Bei calm down the troubled times will not be inferior to the capture of Yingzhou.

If we say who will be Liu Bei's most natural and strongest ally in troubled times, then it must be Gongsun Zan.

"Zikun, what's still unclear?"

Externally, Gongsun Zan's extremely tough and aggressive character towards foreigners suited Li Ji's taste, and he was also a general who could steadily suppress the foreigners bordering Youzhou on three sides after gaining power.

and……

Li Ji shook his head naturally and responded with a frown.

"The situation is...difficult!"

The disparity in military strength, coupled with the ideological differences between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan, meant that Li Ji could actually mobilize only more than 40,000 troops.

More importantly, the area between Yuyang County and Guangyang County is all plains, with only a few rivers crossing it.

But for the Wuhuan cavalry, which numbered more than 100,000, it was almost like throwing a whip to cut off the flow, which was not enough to rely on the favorable location for field battles.

and so……

Li Ji asked Gongsun Zan in detail about all Liu Yu's practices and decisions, combined with the current situation.

Li Ji discovered that Liu Yu, on the one hand, was gathering troops to defend Jixian, and on the other hand, he was sending people to constantly try to make peace with Wuhuan. It cannot be said that it was useless, but it could be regarded as a conservative and safe strategy.

As long as Jixian is not lost, the Han army will always have a nail that Wuhuan is afraid of firmly nailing Youzhou.

In this way, no matter how much Wuhuan plunders, he will eventually have to retreat to the grassland.

What made Wuhuan dare not take it seriously was similar to the situation in the sixth year of Xiping when the emperor Liu Hongqiang ordered the Han army to fight against Xianbei and was defeated. As a result, the four counties of Bingzhou Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Shangjun and part of Xihe County fell completely into the hands of Xianbei. Unlike Liu Yan, Liu Yu is indeed a loyal person, with a conservative and calm personality, and is considerate of the people. He can be regarded as a thoroughly conservative gentleman.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Ji found that Liu Yu's idea was to take huge risks and fight Wuhuan in Yuyang County instead of trying to recapture Yuyang County.

It is better to rely on the strong walls of the city to defend Jixian to ensure that Youzhou will not fall completely.

In addition, the relationship between Wuhuan and Xianbei was not good, and Wuhuan's massive looting of Han lands would also lead to a emptiness in the rear, which would attract Xianbei's covetousness.

Therefore, it is not impossible that Liu Yu intends to let Wuhuan return to the grassland through negotiation.

Of course, even if Liu Yu's strategy succeeds, the final price he has to pay must be the slaughter of Youzhou's flesh, and a large number of people will be robbed by Wuhuan.

It can only be said that Liu Yu is by no means a fool, but simply has a conservative character and style.

However, this is also the biggest contradiction and problem in Youzhou at the moment. Gongsun Zan and a large number of Youyan men have a strong and radical attitude towards foreign races, but Liu Yu, the foreign shepherd of the state, is blindly conservative.

This also makes Youzhou clearly facing the Wuhuan rebellion, but it is completely unable to integrate its forces to resist Wuhuan.

"Bogui, if you want to resist Wuhuan now, it is particularly important to integrate all available troops." Li Ji said in a deep voice the key at the moment.

"I tried to persuade Liu Yu a long time ago, but Liu Yuduan was a coward and afraid of death. Not only was he unwilling to give up the idea of ​​defending Jixian, he also asked me to lead troops into Jixian to help defend the city."

Gongsun Zan said with a serious face.

"If Zikun really wants to integrate the troops in Ji County, give me another seven days!"

"A certain person is sure to send someone to forcibly control Liu Yu and get the sealing talisman in his hand. Coupled with a certain person's reputation in the Youzhou army, we can guarantee that most of the troops in the city will be used by us."

Li Ji looked at the cruelty on Gongsun Zan's face and realized that Gongsun Zan's idea may not have come up suddenly, but he had already planned it.

and……

Even if Li Ji realizes that the consequences and impact of forcibly controlling Dahanzhoumu and seizing military power will be extremely bad, from another perspective, this is undoubtedly the most effective strategy to cut through the mess quickly.

More importantly, this was done by Gongsun Zan and would not have any impact on Liu Bei and Wu Commandery.

The huge personality differences between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu make it impossible for their conflicts to disappear.

Therefore, if Gongsun Zan wanted to control Youzhou, he could not avoid the conflict with Liu Yu.

"Bogui, please let me think twice."

Li Ji waved his hand, lowered his eyes slightly, and decided to use the "strategy simulator" to deduce this direction to determine the pros and cons.

[With your unremitting efforts, you finally created a foundation for Liu Bei.

However, you know that this alone is not enough to quickly calm down the troubled times, so you intend to capture Yingzhou in order to accumulate wealth. You can not only train troops, but also continuously obtain gold and silver minerals, and plunder a large amount of labor to develop Jiangdong, and also prepare for future generations. hidden dangers.

Kill four birds with one stone!
However, the chain reaction caused by the Han's weakness allowed Wuhuan to invade Youzhou aggressively!
In less than a month, more than half of the Han territory in Youzhou has fallen, and the best place to store food in preparation for your attack on Yingzhou will be threatened by foreign troops.

Measure again and again...

In order to bury your son in Youzhou and cannot bear the trampling of the Han people by the iron hoofs of foreigners, you decided to pacify Wuhuan first and then conquer Yingzhou. 】

[Right now, your choices for quelling the Wuhuan Rebellion:

1. To fight against the outside world, first settle the inside; 2. To lure the enemy deep...]

Usually the "strategy simulator" will display the three most feasible options, but now there are only two. One of them, "fight the outside world before settling the inside," may have appeared due to Li Ji's subjective thoughts.

Even without the need to deduce the option of "luring the enemy deep", Li Ji naturally knew that this was a feasible strategy.

After Wuhuan tested out the current strength of the Han Dynasty, he would inevitably abandon Jixian County, which was difficult to capture, and continue southward into the three states of Hebei, Qing, and Xu to start plundering.

According to the customs of foreign tribes and the discipline of Wuhuan, tribes are often used as a group, either hundreds or thousands of people, to separate and plunder.

In this way, after the Wuhuan cavalry dispersed to a certain extent, the 40,000 troops and horses that Li Ji and Gongsun Zan had been hiding would then attack with thunderous force.

Either guard key points, or take advantage of the situation to cover up...

The more than 100,000 Wuhuan cavalry gathered together may be able to run across the plains, but how could the scattered small groups of Wuhuan cavalry be the opponent of the Han cavalry led by the three warriors Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Gongsun Zan.

Li Ji only needs to lead most of the infantry to block the Wuhuan cavalry's retreat to Youzhou in dangerous places, while Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, and Gongsun Zan each lead their cavalry to strangle them.

However, the price of this will inevitably be that a large number of people suffer from looting and military disasters.

And not only were Gongsun Zan and Zhang Fei not necessarily willing to accept victory in this way, Li Ji also believed that it was against benevolence. (End of chapter)
