Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Only after Liu Zhang had completely walked away did Zhang Song step forward and express his gratitude.

"Please come and rescue me, my Lord."

Compared with Liu Zhang's mental state, Li Ji was more worried about the physical condition of Zhang Song, who looked a bit skinny, and expressed his concern.

"Why do we have to be so polite to each other? But the great cause has not yet been accomplished, Ziqiao still needs to take care of his health."

"I'll remember that."

Zhang Song responded in a low voice.

Afterwards, Li Ji asked Zhang Song about the details of how he was abducted and brought here.

The general process was exactly as Li Ji had expected. The only unexpected thing seemed to be that after Liu Zhang and Zhang Song had this shared experience of imprisonment, Liu Zhang developed trust and even dependence on Zhang Song.

At the end of the conversation, Zhang Song asked in a low voice, "My Lord, will Song return to Yizhou with Liu Jiyu?"

This question was like stepping underfoot on Liu Zhang's trust.

Looking at the disgust and disdain in Zhang Song's eyes when he mentioned Liu Zhang.

In a sense, Zhang Song can also be considered a dedicated person.

I hate Liu Zhang from the beginning...

This made Li Ji cough lightly and soothe.

"I know Ziqiao is unwilling to return to Yizhou, but my lord's ambition is to support the Han Dynasty and revive the Han Dynasty."

"Yizhou is a difficult problem that cannot be avoided. For this, Ziqiao may need to endure more grievances. At present, only Ziqiao can solve this problem."

At first, he talked about the righteousness of the Han Dynasty and Zhang Song looked a little reluctant.

But when it came to the fact that only Ziqiao could solve this problem, Zhang Song's chin unconsciously raised slightly, as if Li Ji was the only one in the world who understood him.

"However, Liu Jiyu has been abandoned by Liu Yan. Even if he returns to Yizhou, I am afraid he will not be able to compete with his three brothers." Zhang Song said with a frown.

At least, in Zhang Song's opinion, Liu Zhang's value has greatly decreased since he was abandoned by Liu Yan.

Li Ji smiled slightly, opened the folding fan in his hand, and said.

"Zi Qiao, if Liu Yizhou is lucky enough to get through this, that would be fine."

"If Liu Yizhou really passed away, even if he intended to designate his other sons as heirs, would the Yizhou noble families support a completely unfamiliar Yizhou lord? Or would they support Liu Jiyu, who has a good reputation in Yizhou and appears to be cowardly and kind?"

The answer is undoubtedly obvious.

No matter what, Liu Zhang also has an advantage that his brothers cannot match, and that is that Liu Zhang has been winning over the Yizhou aristocratic families for many years. Regardless of the results, he is at least familiar to the Yizhou aristocratic families.

Especially due to the unique terrain of Yizhou, most of the Yizhou families have no ambition to make progress. The lord of Yizhou they favor will inevitably tend to prefer someone with a character like Liu Zhang.

With the support of the Yizhou families, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.

After hearing what Li Ji said, Zhang Song, as a member of the Yizhou family, reacted quickly and his mind became active.

"So, sir, you hope that Yizhou will continue to be in chaos?" Zhang Song asked.

"If Ziqiao can do it, it would be best to support Ji Yu as the lord of Yizhou." Li Ji said.

On the surface, it seems that it is a good thing that Yizhou has been in civil strife.

However, considering that Zhang Lu of Hanzhong is by no means an incompetent person, we need to consider whether there is a possibility that Zhang Lu will take advantage of the situation in the event of civil strife in Yizhou.

Wouldn't it be ridiculous if the Yizhou that had been planned for a long time ended up being a wedding dress for Zhang Lu in vain?

Considering that Liu Zhang did not have much ambition, it would be better to establish a good relationship with Liu Zhang and support him as the lord of Yizhou.

Once Liu Bei unified the country, a single order might be enough to make Liu Zhang surrender Yizhou, which would also save Yizhou from many military disasters. Even if Liu Zhang changed his mind, with Zhang Song as a traitor, there would be no problem in opening the gate to Yizhou.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Liu Zhang's appointment as Governor of Yizhou would undoubtedly be a hundred benefits and no harm to the overall situation.

"Song, I understand. I will try my best."

Zhang Song answered seriously, as if he had an extra responsibility on his shoulders.

"If you have any difficulties, you can always send me a message, but if you encounter any danger, Ziqiao's life is the most important."

Li Ji warned gently.

"For the Han Dynasty, whether Yizhou can finally surrender peacefully will depend on Ziqiao alone. But even if this method is no longer available to pacify Yizhou, Ji still has other methods available."

"But if Ziqiao encounters an accident, I will lose a close friend in my life."

At this moment, Zhang Song was so excited that his whole body was shaking.

For Zhang Song, who was often disliked because of his appearance, being trusted and valued by Li Ji and entrusted with his great ambitions made Zhang Song feel the urge to "what's the harm even if I die for this ambition?"

After a long while, Zhang Song, who had calmed down a little, spoke word by word.

"Song, I will never let you down!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Li Ji returned the salute to Zhang Song and said.

Immediately, Li Ji took Xu Chu out of the courtyard and hurried to participate in the celebration banquet prepared by many Jingzhou families.

However, it is a question whether Li Ji viewed this celebration banquet as a celebration of the defeat of Yuan Shu or the arrival of the new master of Jingzhou.

When Li Ji arrived at the gate of the governor's mansion in Jingzhou, Cai Zhong and Cai He, the current heads of the famous Cai family in Jingzhou, had been waiting at the gate for a long time.

When Li Ji's chariot appeared in front of Cai Zhong and Cai He, Cai Zhong and Cai He gave orders to open the main gate of the governor's mansion while taking the initiative to greet it and lead the way for Li Ji inside.

"My Lord, please..."

"My Lord, be careful with the steps."

As Li Ji walked into the governor's mansion, the servants and maids who came in and out along the way seemed to have received training long ago. Everyone who saw Li Ji would stop, salute and say respectfully, "Greetings, Grand Marquis of the State."

Such a respectful scene, with people bowing wherever they go, is undoubtedly the embodiment of power and status.

In the past in Yangzhou, neither Liu Bei nor Li Ji were fond of this kind of superficial work, so when experiencing this scene, Li Ji felt a little novel.

Li Ji walked through the festively decorated front yard and arrived at the main hall.

The main hall was already packed with people; all the civil and military officials and noble families from the Jingzhou governor's mansion had arrived, and everyone kept looking up in the direction of the main entrance.

When Li Ji appeared, before he could even see the situation in the hall clearly, people stood up one after another and saluted.

"Greetings to the state scholar."

"Xiangyang Kuai Liang pays respect to the Marquis."

"Please take your seat, my Lord. We have been waiting for you for a long time."

……

Wherever Li Ji passed, there was a chaotic sound.

At this moment, Li Ji was walking through the main hall, looking up and suddenly understood why there is a saying that "I may not know who is respectful to me, but I can tell at a glance who disobeys me." (End of this chapter)
