Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Seeing that the attitudes of the Hu tribal leaders in the camp had softened, Han Sui struck while the iron was hot and spoke to King Midang and others who were secretly thinking of taking the Sanfu land and running away.

"If we fail to capture Han Dynasty Prime Minister Li Ji and make the Han Dynasty cautious, even if King Mi Dang occupies the three prefectures, will he be able to withstand the revenge of the Han court?"

"You must know that the hundreds of thousands of Han Dynasty's northern expeditionary troops are now in Jizhou!!"

King Midang's originally tense face quickly relaxed and he spoke.

"Brother Wen Yue reminded us that, historically, once the Han court became powerful, we, the Hu people, would not have enough food to eat."

"If we don't work together now, once Han becomes strong, they will surely send troops to attack us. Brothers, do you think this is true?"

The Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo and the three Xianbei leaders Budugen, Kebinen and Suli also spoke up in agreement.

"Yeah."

"King Midang is right. The Xiongnu, who dominated the grasslands in the past, were no match for the Han court. We cannot allow the Han court to become powerful."

"Alas, didn't the Han Dynasty fall? Didn't the Han Dynasty die? How come another King of Han appeared?"

This made Han Sui secretly breathe a sigh of relief. He finally used the Han Dynasty's reputation over hundreds of years to unite these Hu people who were originally a group of scattered sand.

However, Han Sui was well aware that these Hu leaders also had their own plans in secret.

The positions of King Rumidang and Yufuluo are not stable, and they can take this opportunity to increase their authority within the tribe.

People like Budugen, Kebinen, Suli and others also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gather the other two tribes and seize the position of Xianbei Chanyu.

However, Han Sui has always cared only about interests. Now that the interests of all parties are consistent, it will be enough to drive these Hu people to serve him.

Now, taking advantage of the opportunity to unite the various Hu peoples, Han Sui, the middleman, has taken the position of a military advisor. This is naturally not his purpose, but he uses it as a stepping stone.

"Only by taking advantage of the power of the Hu people can we contend against the Han people today, and then gain benefits from it."

"After we capture Li Ji, the Hu people will have to rely more on me if they want to negotiate with the King of Han. I can also take this opportunity to take advantage of the situation and completely escape from the bitter cold of Xiliang and regain a place to live..."

Han Sui showed a warm smile on his face as he greeted the Hu brothers in the tent. He also imitated the former alliance to fight against Dong Zhuo and proposed that the Xianbei, Qiang and Southern Xiongnu should swear an oath of blood alliance.

After this ceremony, regardless of whether the three families were truly as close as brothers, they undoubtedly appeared to be much more harmonious with each other.

That night, the three families slaughtered cattle and cooked sheep and ate a feast in preparation for the official siege on the next day.

Under Han Sui's urging, perhaps most of the Hu tribal leaders were short-sighted and only saw the immediate benefits, but they also understood that if they really wanted to gain a foothold in Han territory, they must capture Luoyang as soon as possible and capture Han Prime Minister Li Ji.

Many tribal leaders used words to encourage their men, that is, work harder, as long as they can capture the city of Seoul, good days will be waiting for them.

That night, the noise from the Hu camp outside Luoyang City did not affect the tranquility in the city.

Listening to Gu Wei's report about the situation outside the city, Li Ji knew that the Hu people would officially begin their siege tomorrow.

Perhaps it could be said that the fact that the Hu people had dragged their feet and had not yet formally launched an attack on the city was somewhat beyond Li Ji's expectations.

"Hu Gou, I'm afraid they really think Luoyang is in their pocket..."

Li Ji chuckled and slowly fiddled with the sand table in front of him, which was built with Luoyang as its center.

Luoyang was surrounded by walls on all four sides. Ma Chao was stationed on the west side to defend against the Qiang people, Yang Ren was stationed on the south side to defend against the Southern Xiongnu, and Sun Ce and his family generals were responsible for defending against the Xianbei on the north and east sides.

Everyone thinks that Li Ji is victorious in every battle, but in fact, no one knows Li Ji's weakest point. Instead, it is an unexpected encounter battle without any intelligence, and his strongest point is a stalemate battle.

After these days of preparation, Li Ji was able to build Luoyang's defenses as solid as a rock. There might be only 70,000 soldiers in Luoyang, but he had summoned a large number of young and strong men in Luoyang to help defend the city.

Of course, these young and strong men were not asked to go directly to the city walls, but to help carry materials for defending the city, such as wood, stones, and gold, as well as to help maintain order in the city, transport the wounded, prepare meals, etc.

With the help of the "Strategy Simulator", the flaws of both sides will be infinitely magnified in Li Ji's eyes.

After several days of observation, Li Ji had a preliminary understanding of the situation of the three Hu families outside the city.

What Li Ji was a little unsure about was what would happen to the Northern Expedition Army after Luoyang was blockaded?
After Zhang Fei was defeated, he retreated to Jizhou. The Northern Expedition Army in Jizhou should have learned about the Xianbei's movements at the same time as Li Ji.

Even though the Northern Expedition Army was unaware that the Qiang people and the Southern Xiongnu were marching south at the same time, Li Ji inferred that they would definitely send troops back to support Luoyang early.

Li Ji's eyes fell on the Luoyang sand table in front of him, and his thoughts unconsciously diverged further, muttering to himself.

"We still need to get in touch with the Northern Expedition Army as soon as possible, otherwise we can only defend and tolerate the rampant barbarians..."

Moreover, Li Ji was also quite worried that once the Northern Expedition Army learned that Luoyang was under siege, the generals would panic and no one would be able to suppress them, causing them to rush to Luoyang in batches without any hesitation.

This would become a tactic of adding fuel to the fire, and would even give the Hu people the opportunity to eat up the elite troops of the Han army bit by bit.

When it comes to field battles, the advantages of the Hu cavalry are ultimately extremely obvious.

Li Ji narrowed his eyes and pondered, thinking that he must send someone to break through and report the news as soon as possible.

Moreover, this opportunity to break out is quite limited. We must seize this opportunity to break out and plan well, and try to cooperate with the Northern Expedition Army to resolve this Hu threat.

Li Ji was lost in deep thought at this moment, unaware of the passage of time. It was not until Gu Wei reminded him that it was late at night that he rubbed his brows and reacted.

Apart from the Yellow Turban Rebellion that year, Li Ji had not fought such a serious game against the wind for many years.

It’s all because of one word – “goodness”.

The good of fighting.

As a result, Li Ji was able to pacify the country almost entirely by relying on superior military forces and strategic strategies, with very few dangerous situations.

To be honest, Li Ji is still surprised that Han Sui was able to persuade the Hu people from all sides to send troops. This was a shock, but after thinking about it, Li Ji felt that this was also a surprise.

The Hu people in the grasslands are much more difficult to deal with than the Han people.

The powerful Han people have always been troubled by how to find enemies on the grasslands, rather than being unable to defeat the Hu people head-on.

After putting his own safety aside and looking at the overall situation, Li Ji admitted that he was indeed surrounded. But from a certain perspective, it was Li Ji who trapped 400,000 Hu people.

Four hundred thousand!

Just thinking about this number made Li Ji, a radical at heart, tremble all over with excitement.

If these 400,000 Hu people could be left here, the only people left on the grassland would be women, children, the elderly and the weak.

By then, wouldn’t the entire grassland be filled with the cries of women and children, and the sighs of the old and the weak?

Once an entire generation of young and strong Hu people are completely wiped out, the Han Dynasty will no longer have to worry about border troubles for the next 50 years.

Thinking of this, Li Ji, who had an elegant and calm face, took a sip of the cold tea, suppressed the fire in his heart, and stopped the surging thoughts in his mind, so as not to sleep tonight. (End of this chapter)
