Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

It has to be said that the lower limit of ability may depend on hard work, but the upper limit is definitely limited by talent.

Xiahou Bo was busy every day, just barely keeping the Jinyi Division running, and there were few surprising results.

But in Sima Yi's hands, he really put the Jinyi Division based in Yuzhou to good use, and even allowed Gan Ning to easily turn the young and strong men in the city against his rule without losing a single soldier.

As for how to arrange the training of Sima Yi, Li Ji had considered it many times before making a decision.

"In that case, I wonder if Yi'er would be willing to serve as the commander-in-chief temporarily?"

After a pause, Li Ji then spoke.

"Of course, this is not an official position. The Jinyi Division has never been recognized by the court. This so-called commander-in-chief has no rank, but his salary is equivalent to that of a county governor."

"And Yi'er is now the commander-in-chief, so she is under my direct supervision, not Xiahou Jichang's."

Even though Sima Yi had guessed some of the situation in advance, he still couldn't contain his excitement.

Unlike others, Sima Yi was able to see the huge potential of the Jinyi Division.

Not only can he serve as eyes and ears in troubled times, but he will also not be abandoned by Liu Bei and Li Ji in prosperous times.

No taste?

This was nothing in Sima Yi's eyes.

Today, the three highest officials in the Sili court are not as good as the minor officials valued by the teacher.

As for being directly managed by Li Ji, Sima Yi thought this was an even better thing.

"Disciple is willing."

Sima Yi suppressed the joy in his heart and bowed quickly to accept the order.

Li Ji stared at Sima Yi for a few breaths, nodded slightly, and then waved to the tiger guards who were waiting with a tray on the side.

Since it was not an official position in the imperial court, he naturally would not have a corresponding seal, and Liu Bei would not have privately cast official seals during this period to give rise to criticism.

Therefore, what was placed on the tray in the tiger guard's hand was a waist badge representing the commander-in-chief.

"Thank you, teacher."

Sima Yi took the badge with both hands, his eyes full of excitement.

Sima Yi had been in control of the Jinyi Division for a period of time, so he naturally understood its internal structure. The rank of Commander-in-Chief was second only to the Commander-in-Chief.

In name, the deputy commander only assists the commander in handling documents, classifying intelligence, supervising inspections, etc.

But Sima Yi's commander-in-chief was directly under Li Ji's command. How could his power be compared with that of an ordinary commander-in-chief?

Li Ji spoke in a calm tone.

"Yier, since you are the commander, please remember one thing."

"Teacher, please speak."

Li Ji spoke earnestly. "I will always keep an eye on you, don't slack off."

"is teacher."

Sima Yi responded with joy subconsciously, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he couldn't help but break out in a sweat on his back.

Li Ji appointed Sima Yi as his assistant to help him sort out and mobilize intelligence from the Jinyisi.

The task assigned to Sima Yi was not only to keep an eye on the two states of Yu and Xu and ensure a smooth transition as quickly as possible, but also to reduce those who planned to take advantage of the situation to ashes as soon as possible.

In addition, Li Ji asked Sima Yi to pay more attention to Hua Tuo's movements. Li Ji asked Xiahou Bo to secretly search for Hua Tuo through the Jinyi Division for many years, but either there was no news, or there was only groundless news and he went to search for Hua Tuo.

Now, stimulated by Liu Bei's seemingly worrying secret letter entrusting his son to Li Ji, Li Ji, who is less than 30 years old, can't help but think about how to maintain health.

When it comes to health and fitness, Li Ji has long been fascinated by Hua Tuo's Five Animal Exercises.

If Hua Tuo could be found and the Five Animal Exercises could be promoted, it would not only benefit Liu Bei and Li Ji, but would also be a blessing for the people of the Han Dynasty.

After Sima Yi memorized all the tasks assigned by Li Ji, Li Ji called him to meet Liu Bei.

Sima Yi's appointment to the position of commander-in-chief was naturally not decided by Li Ji alone, but was approved by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei also knew that Sima Yi was a talented person who could be used. Even though Liu Bei did not have a good impression of him, he still maintained his usual level of a handsome succubus.

After some encouragement and enticement, the young man from the Sima family left with a red face, as if he had been injected with two doses of chicken blood.

With the assistance of Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, one openly and one secretly, the 100,000 captured young and strong Yellow Turbans were quickly dispersed and sent back to their hometowns.

These young and strong Yellow Turbans who were sent back to their hometowns quickly spread the news of what happened along the Yingshui River.

More than 100,000 people witnessed that Saint Huang Tian was burned to death as a punishment from heaven, and that Uncle Liu was the one destined by heaven.

Under Sima Yi's control, these remarks began to gain widespread popularity among the people, and quickly spread in all directions with Yuzhou as the center.

After Yuzhou was initially settled, Liu Bei returned to Shouchun to take charge, and handed over the initially settled Yuzhou and Xuzhou to Li Ji for stabilization and sorting.

Before the first snow fell in the third year of Chuping, Li Ji had initially taken control of all the counties in Yuzhou.

At least, the chief officials of counties and prefectures in various places have already sent written requests.

Those heads that were not sent were also brought by Li Ji who sent people to take them.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year."

Looking at the heavy snow falling outside, Li Ji, who had a moment of free time, took Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi and Pang Tong to cook wine around the stove. While enjoying the snow scene, he sighed.

Zhuge Liang also echoed the words, "This winter, the people of Yuzhou must have had the most abundant and leisurely time."

Pang Tong, who was not in charge of government affairs, was somewhat confused about this, while Sima Yi rarely exchanged a knowing smile with Zhuge Liang.

This year, due to Yuan Shu's decree, the people of Yuzhou had to suffer a desperate famine as many of their farmlands were burned before they could be harvested.

However, the emergence of the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou killed countless Yuzhou noble families and divided up countless amounts of farmland and grain.

The wealth of the Yuzhou family was apparently enough to feed the people of Yuzhou until the next year's harvest.

The burning of farmland will replenish its fertility. Coupled with the heavy snow, if nothing unexpected happens, Yuzhou will surely have a good harvest next year.

Yuzhou is now initially settled. This winter can allow the people of Yuzhou to slowly adapt to the shape of Uncle Liu, and also serve as a transition for the people to rest.

However, Li Ji spoke while sipping his tea slowly.

"However, this heavy snow may also cause harm to the people. We still need to carefully supervise the counties and prefectures, and execute any officials who are negligent in governing the people."

"Yes, teacher, I have noted it down," Zhuge Liang replied.

It was not that Li Ji was too cruel, but that Yuan Shu promoted too many good-for-nothings during his administration of Yuzhou, which forced Li Ji to carry out severe rectification.

Li Ji, who originally intended to relax with his disciples by appreciating the snow and drinking tea, unknowingly started discussing government affairs and asked.

"In addition, how is the progress of the construction of the academies in Yuzhou and Xuzhou? Under the influence of this winter, can it be completed in the spring of next year?" (End of this chapter)
