Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Jiang Gan waited for half a month, but Li Ji still didn't show up, which made Jiang Gan almost heartbroken.

During this half month, Jiang Gan diligently reported for duty every day. The large amount of tedious official duties made Jiang Gan feel a little breathless and gradually became numb.

And ignoring Jiang Gan in this way was indeed part of the counter-espionage plot, but it was only incidental.

Now that the date for the Northern Expedition in autumn has been tentatively set, many arrangements have become urgent.

Among them, inspecting the military households in various places and testing the combat effectiveness of the soldiers became the top priority.

Therefore, that night, under Li Ji's arrangement, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Li Ji began to inspect and comfort military households in various places before the heavy snow fell, in preparation for the Northern Expedition next year.

Even though Liu Bei was worried about Li Ji's weak health, he only asked Li Ji to inspect the military households around Shouchun. It took Li Ji half a month to return to Shouchun.

When Jiang Gan learned of Li Ji's return, his originally numb state became full of energy again. Not only did he quickly finish his own official duties, he also took the initiative to assist his colleagues in handling other tedious official duties.

During this period of time, Jiang Gan's stay in the government office was certainly not without gain.

At least I found out a lot about Li Ji's preferences, and I learned that Li Ji particularly likes to use diligent people.

For example, Lu Su, the chief secretary of the prime minister, who is now handling a large amount of prime minister's affairs on behalf of Li Ji, was quickly promoted to the position of chief secretary of the prime minister because of his diligence. He can be said to hold great power.

Although there is only one word difference between the Prime Minister's Historian and the Prime Minister's Chief Historian, the Prime Minister's Chief Historian is the head of the Prime Minister's subordinates and can even exercise many of the Prime Minister's powers to maintain the operation of the Prime Minister's position.

As for the prime minister's historians, they are the lowest group among the prime minister's officials. They only deal with trivial and menial official duties, which are of no great value at all.

But after two days of such active performance by Jiang Gan, what he waited for was not the praise from Li Ji who returned to the office, but a very familiar face - Gu Wei.

Gu Wei looked at Jiang Gan, who was working on official business at a desk, with a forced smile and said.

"Mr. Jiang Gan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you doing well?"

"Gu Lang..."

"I am not worthy of Mr. Jiang Gan's courtesy."

Gu Wei quickly moved aside to avoid Jiang Gan's salute.

This scene immediately attracted the attention of many people and made Jiang Gan's heart skip a beat. He never expected that the matter had passed, but he did not expect Gu Wei to have such an outburst in public.

Those who can become officials under the prime minister are all smart people.

As the prime minister's personal servant, Gu Wei's public display of such an attitude was undoubtedly a deliberate attempt to isolate Jiang Gan.

Jiang Gan looked around, feeling the gazes of his colleagues who he had tried to befriend over the past half month quickly avoiding him. His heart tightened, and when he saw Gu Wei waving his sleeves and turning away, he quickly chased after him and said.

"Gu Lang, please stay, stay... I was indeed rude half a month ago, and I want to apologize to you, please..."

"If I had known this today, why did I do it in the first place?"

Gu Wei said this coldly, his tone full of disgust, not giving Jiang Gan any chance to speak. He went to Lu Su to take away a large amount of documents for Li Ji for verification, then got on the carriage and left.

It is human nature to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Not to mention how close Jiang Gan's relationship with his colleagues is, but everyone knows how important Gu Wei's status is.

In less than half a day, the news of the discord between Jiang Gan and Gu Wei spread quickly throughout the government office, and all the officials working in the office knew about it.

This also meant that wherever Jiang Gan went, everyone avoided him, for fear of having anything to do with him.

This made Jiang Gan secretly hate Gu Wei, a young boy, and he was greatly shocked. He didn't know what to do. For Jiang Gan, the first task was to win the trust of Li Ji and get Li Ji's important position to realize the King of Wei's plan...

"He is so jealous of talented people. Li Ji is just like that. He will be defeated by the King of Wei sooner or later..."

Jiang Gan, feeling depressed, could only spend his days in the office on pins and needles, cursing secretly.

……

At this moment, Li Ji was working at home in the mansion. Before Gu Wei went to retrieve the documents, Sima Yi sent him a piece of intelligence obtained by the Jinyisi investigation.

It took more than half a month, enough to find out that Jiang Gan had stayed in Jizhou for a considerable period of time before going south, and he often looked for people to debate with in order to increase his reputation.

In this case, the person behind Jiang Gan was undoubtedly Cao Cao.

When Gu Wei came back to report that he had successfully isolated Jiang Gan, all the superficial friendships that Jiang Gan had spent more than half a month to build with his colleagues in the office were completely destroyed.

"good……"

Li Ji nodded slightly, then spoke.

"During this period, Wei'er has been going to the government office on my behalf. You can make things difficult for Ziyi as you wish. The King of Wei has entrusted Ziyi with a great responsibility. I believe that Ziyi's mind, bones, body, and skin are all ready for the training."

"Understood, Prime Minister..."

Gu Wei couldn't help but smile as he agreed.

Perhaps Gu Wei is not a narrow-minded person, but he has to admit that such revenge can make people feel refreshed both physically and mentally.

In the following days, Jiang Gan's situation undoubtedly became increasingly difficult. His colleagues in the office isolated him, and Gu Wei found reasons to make things difficult for him.

Things like Jiang Gan's steps were too hurried, his clothes were untidy, and there was an ominous dark aura on his face, etc., all became Gu Wei's reasons to make things difficult for Jiang Gan, and Jiang Gan was really in trouble.

Jiang Gan wanted to give up many times, but thinking of Li Ji's gentle attitude when they first met, Jiang Gan couldn't bear to give up such an important task just because of a villain's obstruction, and felt that hope was not yet lost.

For this reason, Jiang Gan could only comfort and motivate himself with words like "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west", "Ten years is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge", "Only one who endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens is a real man" and so on.

Wait……

When Prime Minister Li Ji returns to the office, it will be the time for me, Jiang Gan, to have a chance to meet him...

Just when Jiang Gan was waiting anxiously but still hadn't seen Li Ji, it was the end of another day's shift. Exhausted both physically and mentally, Jiang Gan got on the carriage and slowly returned to his residence.

Suddenly, Jiang Gan heard a commotion on the street. He lifted a corner of the curtain and looked over. He was shocked to see a horse ridden by a middle-aged man in a white robe that seemed to have been frightened and lost control on the street, and was rushing towards this direction.

This made Jiang Gan's face change slightly. When he hurriedly urged the coachman to dodge, he suddenly saw a young man in brocade robe standing blankly four or five steps in front of him.

Just ten steps away from the young man in brocade robe, there were many people dressed as guards who kept shouting.

"Young Master, get out of the way..."

However, this is not the point.

The key point is that Jiang Gan had seen the appearance of the young man in brocade robe in a portrait held by the King of Wei: the only son of Prime Minister Li Ji - Li Xiang!
"Could it be a godsend?"

Suddenly, Jiang Gan's eyes lit up. (End of this chapter)
