Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

After all, in the original trajectory, it was: Yu Jin=Zhang Liao>Sun Quan>Jiangdong generals.

In other words, Yu Jin was superior to all the other generals in Jiangdong, and this inequality solved the problem in one second.

Thinking of this, Li Ji, who received the military newspaper, not only did not have any sadness on his face, but instead showed a smile that was a bit teasing.

Sima Yi, who was standing by, saw this and stepped forward to ask, "Teacher, is there any good news?"

"That's not the case. Xu Wenxiang's offensive was thwarted and he was stopped by Yu Jin at the foot of Chunyu City."

Li Ji said simply, and then handed the military report to Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi to read again.

Now, Li Ji, who was in charge of all matters related to the Northern Expedition, naturally had no time to deal with many trivial military documents. Most of them were done by Zhuge Liang, who handled them in an orderly manner.

Sima Yi was responsible for sorting out and processing all military reports and intelligence, including the Jinyi Division, and could be described as his right-hand man.

After Zhuge Liang sorted out the military reports and maps, he frowned slightly and said.

"If Chunyu City is not taken, it will be difficult for the army to cross the Wenshui River and attack the capital of Duchang."

Sima Yi heard this and said disapprovingly, "Kong Ming, why should you worry? The Prime Minister is laughing, which means he has a plan in mind."

As a result of their concerted efforts, Li Ji was actually framed by these two disciples.

Can't laughter be caused by thinking of something happy?
However, sometimes Li Ji also felt helpless.

As his status and prestige increased, Li Ji's every move was inevitably interpreted with deeper meaning in the eyes of others.

This is also the reason why, apart from staying at home, Li Ji can only completely let go of his airs in front of Liu, Guan and Zhang without having to have too many concerns.

Of course, having said that, Li Ji's expression returned to his usual calm and indifferent state, and he turned to ask.

"If Kong Ming and Zhong Da were to be the commanders of the Northern Expedition, what should we choose now?"

Suddenly, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were slightly stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

This seemingly casual and thoughtful remark, to Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, was a question that they had to deal with with extreme concentration and caution.

After Li Ji had leisurely drunk a cup of tea, Zhuge Liang saw that Sima Yi still had no intention of speaking first, so he took the initiative to speak.

"In my humble opinion, the Northern Expedition Army is the king's army. Attacking cities is secondary, and seizing power is primary. Only in this way can everyone know that the Northern Expedition Army is invincible. The false governments of Wei and Zhao will lose people's hearts and lose support."

"Therefore, even if Chunyucheng encounters obstacles, we should send another division to create momentum and take another route. This way, we can provide cover for the Wei general and other special forces, and use the strength of our forces to attack the enemy's weaknesses, so that Cao Ren will feel that there are fires everywhere and he doesn't know where to look."

After hearing this, Li Ji nodded slightly.

Zhuge Liang's strategy is undoubtedly an upright and kingly strategy.

It is used to attack the city as well as to attack the heart, combining the strange and the regular, and maximizes the advantage of military strength.

It is true that Chunyu City is the only way to the northern capital Duchang, but this only way requires the prerequisite of the "shortest and most suitable" marching route.

If they were willing to take a detour and lengthen the battle line, they could send another division from Beihai County to the east of Donglai County, bypass the barrier centered on Chunyu City and Wenshui on the south side of Duchang, and then attack Duchang City from the flank.

In this case, Cao Ren must continue to divide his troops from his limited forces to try to stop them, which will greatly relieve the pressure on the remaining troops.

Once Duchang City was attacked, even if Chunyu City could still hold on, it would be of little significance. Naturally, they would have to abandon the city and retreat to Duchang to ensure that Duchang, the capital, would not be lost.

Immediately, Li Ji looked at Sima Yi again.

Sima Yi bowed and replied.

"My opinion is just one word...wait!"

"Although Kong Ming's plan of dividing the troops is good, it is also fraught with risks. If we send another part of the troops to Donglai County, the teacher will have few troops left. Once something unexpected happens, it will be very difficult to make up for it." "Therefore, Kong Ming's plan seems to be safe and sound, but it is actually dangerous and should not be used."

"At this moment, we should remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances. It seems that Cao Ren is trying to delay time until winter when our army has to retreat. In fact, the time and people are all in your hands. Delaying until winter is more advantageous."

Zhuge Liang frowned when he heard this and said.

"What nonsense! If you just wait, you will only delay the opportunity and never get it."

"What if General Wei's surprise attack on Dongchaojin fails? When Cao Cao's reinforcements arrive, even if the weather is favorable, it will be more difficult to continue to work hard to open up the route to Donglai County."

Sima Yi retorted with narrowed eyes.

"In my opinion, Kong Ming's strategy is the hidden danger that affects the Northern Expedition."

"It is precisely because we need to be cautious that a small force may not be able to achieve success, so we need to play it safe and wait. We must know that the more we divide our forces, the bigger the loopholes will be."

"What if Cao Wei has gradually figured out the actual military strength that the teacher controls, and while defending Chunyu City, he uses the terrain to set up an ambush and destroy the detachment that rashly splits off to Donglai County?"

Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice.

"You are ridiculous..."

"You are ridiculous..."

Seeing that Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, the two enemies, seemed to be about to start an argument, Li Ji tapped the table with his fingers, which immediately calmed down Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, who realized they had lost their composure.

"The plans you two proposed are both good ones, but they just have different philosophies."

Li Ji first made up his mind to show that he was impartial, and then he stood up and said, "But, neither of these two strategies suits my taste."

Zhuge Liang, who was usually extremely calm, reflected on why he was easily angered by Sima Yi, and asked with a calm expression on his face.

"What does the teacher mean?"

"Three days later, the troops mobilized from all over the country will gather at Pi Ting."

Li Ji said this with his hands behind his back, and then spoke in an unusually calm tone.

"Then we will mobilize all the 120,000 troops in Pi Ting and march into Qingzhou."

"I want to see how Yu Jin is going to stop me, Li Zikun, how he is going to stop my 200,000 strong army, and how he is going to stop my mighty Northern Expedition."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang was instinctively cautious and almost subconsciously blurted out his objection.

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, Zhuge Liang swallowed them back.

During the Northern Expedition, it was impossible for the teacher to stay in the rear and command the troops from all sides.

Only by going to the front line in person can you make corresponding command arrangements at all times.

For example, Chunyu City or Qingzhou are some of the most fortified cities, but the so-called impeccable city depends on who they are referring to.

Zhuge Liang's strategy of dividing the troops in Donglai was fraught with danger, as it placed the fate of the army in the hands of yet another general, which Li Ji did not like.

Sima Yi's strategy of waiting for the right time was too passive and unsuitable for the Northern Expedition, and Li Ji also disliked it.

Moreover, Li Ji never intended to stay in Pi Ting in the rear all the time. He just had to wait for the arrival of subsequent troops and horses, so he stayed in the rear to reorganize the army.

Now, since the front line has encountered a temporary obstacle, I will personally lead the Northern Expedition Army into Qingzhou to eliminate the obstacles. (End of this chapter)
