Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

"Teacher, why are Bofu and Gongjin in such critical conditions?" Pang Tong asked without hesitation.

At this moment, Li Ji gradually regained his composure. While frowning slightly, he did not answer Pang Tong. Instead, he quickly wrote an order at the desk, sealed it with a seal, and handed it to Gu Wei beside him, saying urgently.

"Send it to the Lord of Xia Pi with all haste."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of everyone present subconsciously tightened.

Thousand miles of urgent.

This is enough to illustrate the seriousness and urgency of the situation.

Gu Wei didn't dare to delay, and immediately responded and took the order to make arrangements.

Watching Gu Wei's hurriedly leaving back, Li Ji sighed and murmured something.

"Hopefully it's not too late."

"Has the situation in Qingzhou become so dangerous?" Zhuge Liang asked in surprise.

"It's a matter of life and death."

Li Ji said, his voice condensed. "Xun Yu's backup is not the military strength, but the plan to destroy the army led by Bo Fu with the strategy of water and fire."

When Zhuge Liang heard this, he looked even more puzzled.

With Zhuge Liang's extensive knowledge and strong memory, not to mention that he knew the specific terrain of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty by heart, he also had a considerable understanding of the terrain of Qingzhou and Yuzhou, which were now in contact with his side.

"Teacher, Qingzhou has many plains and there may be large rivers in the territory, but with Zhou Gongjin's ability, how could he easily fall into the trap of water and fire?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Gong Jin may guard against the mountains, rivers and lakes along the way, and guard against ambushes and water and fire tactics therein, but..."

Li Ji couldn't help but pause and sighed when he said this. "If Xun Yu is going to break the dike of the Yellow River, what's the point of being so cautious?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed color, and even Jia Xu unconsciously pulled out a piece of his beard.

"How dare Xun Yu?"

"Moreover, the Yellow River bursting its dikes is a vicious plot that will injure 800 enemies and thousands of our own men. Even if the army led by General Bofu is destroyed, half of Qingzhou might be submerged by the surging river water."

"Is the teacher worrying too much?"

Pang Tong refuted repeatedly almost subconsciously.

No matter how you look at it, the Yellow River bursting its banks is too unbelievable. It is not even something that ordinary people would consider.

Once the Yellow River bursts its banks, not to mention Qingzhou, even Xuzhou might be submerged by the surging Yellow River water, and the number of people affected could easily reach millions.

"I also hope that Xun Yu will not do such a thing that would anger God and people..."

Li Ji lowered his eyes slightly and answered in a low voice with some hope.

But no matter whether it was Li Ji's own judgment or the deduction through the "Strategy Simulator", the bursting of the Yellow River would be Xun Yu's only back-up plan.

For Li Ji, the only good news is that the Yellow River has passed its flood season and entered its dry season, so the water level will not be too high.

And Qingzhou is Cao Cao's territory after all, and Xun Yu certainly doesn't want to completely destroy Qingzhou.

If Xun Yu could control the situation well, the scope of the impact might only be limited to Jinan State. This was also the judgment made by Li Ji in his mind.

Today, Qingzhou is vast but sparsely populated. If Xun Yu had been prepared, he would have secretly relocated most of the people and young men in Jinan State under the pretext of recruiting young and strong men and setting up military farming plans.

In this way, Xun Yu would use the water of the Yellow River to destroy Sun Ce's forces at the cost of Jinan State having difficulty resuming farming in the next few years and a certain number of people suffering from the disaster.

"But, is it really too late?" Li Ji frowned more and more.

Just by secretly reasoning rationally, Li Ji had already come up with the answer in his mind, and he realized that it might be too late to deliver the secret letter to Sun Ce.

……

at the same time.

In the Qingzhou government, the changing situation in the outside world did not seem to affect Xun Yu, who was in charge of Qingzhou, in the slightest.

Even after the news that Sun Ce led his army straight into Jinan State and aimed directly at Dongchaojin spread, officials and generals at all levels in Qingzhou began to panic.

Xun Yu still did not show any panic or nervousness, and even the time he was on duty and off duty did not change at all.

At this moment, countless eyes in Qingzhou were watching Xun Yu, waiting for him to make effective decisions in the face of Sun Ce's advance.

However, Xun Yu knew very well that there were no more soldiers left in Qingzhou.

In order to have a chance, Cao Cao took almost all the available soldiers in Qingzhou to Jizhou. Now the defenders of each city are young and strong men who were temporarily recruited.

Xun Yu knew very well that sending those young and strong men to stop Sun Ce was just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

However, Xun Yu was well prepared for the difficulties Qingzhou is facing now.

However, the development of the situation was also somewhat beyond Xun Yu's expectations.

Xun Yu, who had just returned home from work, gazed at the inky night outside the window and fell into a long period of hesitation.

Is it really worth breaking the Yellow River's dike just to deal with Sun Ce's forces?
"Why? Why didn't you, Li Zikun, come to Qingzhou? Otherwise, you would have been able to wipe out a great enemy in the world for the Lord."

Xun Yu's expression, which had always been elegant, now looked a little more ferocious.

Xun Yu expected that Cao Cao would listen to Cheng Yu's advice and attack Xuzhou.

Xun Yu also expected that Liu Bei would not sit idly by and watch Xuzhou fall into Cao Cao's hands, and would send troops to aid Xuzhou.

Xun Yu also expected that Cao Cao would be defeated by the great patriot Li Ji and fall into a hopeless situation of seizing Xuzhou.

Moreover, the impact of these changes on the general situation in the world was also within Xun Yu's expectations.

The only thing Xun Yu did not expect was that within just a few days, the elite troops of Yuzhou led by Ji Ling were all destroyed, and Li Ji even persuaded Liu Bei to swallow up Yuzhou with all his strength when Xuzhou was not stable.

This small change brought the situation to a point where Xun Yu was in a difficult position.

Xun Yu had originally expected that Ji Ling would realize that there was no hope of capturing Xuzhou and retreat back to Pei State, temporarily confronting Liu Bei.

In this way, in order to ensure that he can grasp the war situation affecting Jizhou in time, the national hero Li Ji will personally lead his troops to Langya and wait for an opportunity to send troops to seize Qingzhou.

As long as Li Ji entered Qingzhou, he would certainly realize the importance of Dongchaojin, and then choose to attack Dongchaojin to cut off Cao Cao's connection with Qingzhou.

But Li Ji led his troops to swallow up Yuzhou, and the ones who clamped down on Qingzhou became two small pawns in Xun Yu's eyes, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

In order to eliminate Li Ji, the great enemy, Xun Yu would naturally not hesitate to submerge the State of Jinan.

Once Li Ji died, it would be like cutting off the arms of Liu Bei, who was about to become the overlord. His power would inevitably become unstable and reveal various flaws, and it would even be possible that he would collapse and disintegrate.

But simply destroying Sun Ce and Zhou Yu seemed to have dealt a very limited blow to Liu Bei.

But Zhou Yu's plan was too sharp, and it went straight to the vital point of Qingzhou, so Xun Yu had no other options except to break the Yellow River. (End of this chapter)
