Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

As long as the emperor still exists, it is not certain whether Liu Bei will become emperor after unifying the world.

But now that the emperor is gone, Liu Bei is undoubtedly very much like the former Emperor Guangwu. There are no obstacles in any aspect for him to become emperor after unifying the world.

In other words, this will be the merit of following the dragon.

Three years!

When Li Ji said this in public, he was also indirectly conveying certain information to his colleagues, thereby arousing cohesion.

Afterwards, Liu Bei, who had given up the idea of ​​mobilizing troops, took Li Ji and left the camp first.

But after experiencing such an almost farcical event, the civil and military officials not only did not feel dissatisfied with Liu Bei, but everyone watched Liu Bei leave with excitement on their faces.

Who doesn’t want to be a dragon’s servant?

Who wouldn’t want to be like the Twenty-Eight Generals of Yuntai, to have their portraits and biographies left behind, and to be revered by future generations?

Ever since Li Ji mentioned the word "three years", a naked opportunity has been placed in front of everyone.

Three years later, Liu Bei will begin to take steps to unify the world.

Among them were those who were granted titles of nobility and appointed as generals.

……

However, Liu Bei was unaware that his civil and military officials had been invisibly injected with a large amount of chicken blood. After returning to his mansion in Shouchun with Li Ji in the same carriage, he sent someone to fetch a jar of peach blossom wine from the manor outside the city.

It seemed to be due to the Peach Garden Oath, or perhaps it was because Li Ji brought back a peach blossom from Jingzhou and gave it to Cai Zhaoji.

Liu Bei, who often had to stay in the rear, was inspired by this and brewed a batch of wine himself and buried it under the peach forest in the manor outside the city. Whenever Li Ji, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came back, Liu Bei would take out a jar and drink with them.

Liu Bei, who was sitting opposite Li Ji, did not hide the fact that there were no outsiders around at this time. There was joy but also lingering sorrow and anger in his eyes.

However, Liu Bei still poured wine for Li Ji with a happy look on his face.

"Come, Zikun, try this year's peach blossom wine and see if it is more fragrant and pure."

"Lord, please."

Li Ji didn't say anything more and drank the wine in the cup.

Liu Bei, who also had a full drink, sighed and said.

"It's a pity that Yunchang needs to stay in Jingzhou, and Yide is still in Yangxia to lead the troops. If it weren't for the urgent matter that called Zikun back, I would have no one to accompany me even if I wanted to drink to drown my sorrows."

Liu Bei had many people he trusted.

Such as Mi Zhu, Zhao Yun, Xiahou Bo and so on, all of whom are trusted.

However, Li Ji, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who accompanied Liu Bei in starting his army in Zhuo County, were irreplaceable. Only in front of Li Ji, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei would Liu Bei reveal his true nature without any disguise.

After a pause, Liu Bei, who was obviously the lord, asked the question in a tone like a lonely old man, as if casually asking.

"How long can Zikun stay in Shouchun this time?"

Li Ji asked with a smile, "Does the lord not want to see me in Shouchun?"

"Of course not. Without Zikun here, even drinking would be boring and uninteresting." Liu Bei replied.

"In that case, how about I stay in Shouchun and drink with the lord from time to time?" Li Ji asked.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then asked in disbelief, "Zi Kun doesn't need to return to Yuzhou to oversee the implementation of the new policy?"

Liu Bei was naturally aware of the series of plans implemented by Li Ji in Yuzhou.

Precisely because of this clarity, Liu Bei subconsciously felt that Li Ji would have to hurriedly return to Yuzhou soon.

"All the new policies in Yuzhou have been initially put on the right track. With Liang'er and Wenhe watching over them and a large army deployed in Yuzhou, it doesn't matter whether Ji is in Yuzhou or not."

After a pause, Li Ji said with a smile.

"Besides, the Han Dynasty is more than just Yuzhou. If I have to stay in the local area all the time to take charge of everything, after the lord unifies the country, General Ji can't run around the local area all the time, and it's time to give up his power."

Suddenly, Liu Bei's face was full of joy, even happier than when he heard Li Ji's three to five years theory.

"Okay, okay..."

Liu Bei said yes repeatedly, stood up and continued to pour wine for Li Ji, saying.

"Today, I must not go home until I am drunk with Zikun."

"My Lord, this is very difficult for me. I just passed by my house but didn't enter. I can't go back drunk, can I?"

"Then why don't you stay at the mansion tonight? You can go back tomorrow after you sober up..."

Li Ji's words hinted at a refusal, but he also knew that Liu Bei was still worried and angry about Lu Bu's killing of the king in the street. In order to make Liu Bei feel better, Li Ji was willing to risk his life to accompany him to the end.

When Li Ji, who had lost consciousness at some point, woke up again, it was already noon the next day, and beside him was Cai Zhaoji, who had been serving him for a long time without taking off her clothes.

Afterwards, Li Ji rested in the mansion for a few days. Besides spending some time with Zhao Ji, he also received many guests who came to visit him and learned about the situations in Xu, Jing, Yang, Jiao, Yi, Yingzhou and other places in detail.

It's just that although the new policies in Yuzhou were handed over to Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang for subsequent promotion, Li Ji, who had resumed his duties in Shouchun, would actually become even busier.

Li Ji, who was stationed in Shouchun, not only had to keep an eye on the changes in Yuzhou's new policies, but also on the affairs of other newly determined prefectures and counties which kept pouring in like snowflakes.

In particular, there was a relative shortage of officials in various places, which made the officials of all ranks in Shouchun Prefecture work around the clock.

Although Liu Bei put the overall situation first and had to temporarily give up the idea of ​​sending troops to attack Lu, he would naturally not have no response to the outside world.

Under Li Ji's suggestion and the secret promotion of the Jinyisi, the most intense public opinion war in the history of the Han Dynasty broke out.

No matter how hard Lu Bu tried to cover it up, the news of the regicide in the street quickly spread throughout the Han Dynasty.

Especially under Lu Bu's rule, not only did some ambitious people from aristocratic families take the opportunity to cause chaos, but many righteous men chose to raise the banner of rebellion against Lu.

Countless Han royal family members, led by Liu Bei, Liu Yu and Liu Zhang, naturally denounced Lu Bu and labeled him a sworn enemy of the Han Dynasty.

It was not until this moment that Lu Bu realized the serious consequences of killing the king in the street. He truly aroused the collective contempt and disgust of the world.

But at this point in the situation, Lu Bu, who had no idea what to do, could only adopt a strong attitude. He continuously sent troops to suppress the rebel forces that kept emerging in various places in Sili and Yanzhou, and personally led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to fight fiercely with the Liangzhou coalition forces.

It was also during another fierce battle between the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that a young general who had just come of age became famous for fighting with Lu Bu for hundreds of rounds without a clear winner. He was praised as the Xiliang Jin Ma Chao.

Some Qiang people who witnessed the fierce battle between Lu Bu and Ma Chao called Ma Chao "the mighty general" in fear and trepidation.

But before the world could take notice of the emergence of another peerless warrior, as another winter was approaching, a shocking news from Jizhou quickly swept across the entire Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao, who wiped out the remnants of Yuan's clan with lightning speed, dug out one of the Nine Cauldrons in Yecheng and received the Mandate of Heaven. He said, "The one who will replace the Han Dynasty is Tu Gao, and if Tu Gao is Wei, then Wei will be the king." He then called himself "King of Wei" and established a government. (End of this chapter)
