Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Immediately, before Li Ji could ask about the details, Zhang Song, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, told everything he knew.

Since Li Ji praised Zhang Song as a rare talent of the time, capable of memorizing everything at a glance, during the campaign against Dong Zhuo, Liu Zhang's regard for Zhang Song had skyrocketed.

Zhang Song's reputation in Yizhou could also be described as soaring.

Compared to the 'Monthly Review,' Li Ji's praise was undoubtedly more valuable.

In addition, Zhang Song's own abilities were not lacking, which also gradually made Zhang Song the leading strategist under Liu Zhang, naturally having opportunities to come into contact with Liu Yan.

Zhang Song had witnessed Liu Yan's physical condition many times.

Finally, Zhang Song estimated and replied, "In my opinion, it shouldn't be difficult for Liu Yizhou to survive this winter, but next year is hard to say."

At this moment, Jia Xu's expression was strange, and he was skeptical of Zhang Song's information.

After all, in terms of human nature, if what Zhang Song said was true, then Liu Zhang's inheritance of Liu Yan's position was almost inevitable, then as Liu Zhang's strategist, his position under Liu Zhang in the future would be no less than that of Li Ji.

Betrayal often requires sufficient chips and benefits.

Currently, Jia Xu did not think that Liu Bei and Li Ji could pay the price for Zhang Song's betrayal.

Even if Zhang Song was an informant arranged by Li Ji before joining Liu Zhang's command.

But now Zhang Song has become the leader among Liu Zhang's strategists, and he may not necessarily do something like 'using a spy as a spy'.

So, while continuing to watch the opera performance below, Jia Xu casually asked.

"I wonder what illness Liu Yizhou has that is so critical?"

Zhang Song's voice lowered slightly, and he said, "Liu Yizhou told some confidants that it was a cold, but I inadvertently learned that it was 'riding wind'."

Riding wind?!

At this moment, Li Ji's expression almost couldn't hold back.

"Riding wind" does not refer to catching a cold from riding a horse normally, but riding a "rouge horse", which is called "exhaustion syndrome" in Chinese medicine, and commonly known as "major discharge".

"Really 'riding wind'?"

Li Ji, who had always been calm, couldn't help but feel a bit of gossip.

"Most likely."

Zhang Song nodded and said, "This is not only what my lord Liu Zhang said after being drunk, but it also fits the abnormality of Lady Lu, who was originally favored by Liu Yizhou, suddenly being killed."

"The 'riding wind' is probably related to Lady Lu. After Liu Yizhou was urgently rescued, Liu Yizhou blamed Lady Lu and directly killed Lady Lu."

Hearing this, Li Ji quickly recalled the information about "Lady Lu" in his mind and confirmed, "Is this Lady Lu the mother of Zhang Lu, the current governor of Hanzhong Commandery?"

"That's right," Zhang Song replied.

"In this case, Liu Yizhou's troubles seem to be not small," Li Ji couldn't help but chuckle.

Li Ji naturally couldn't ignore Zhang Lu and his mother, Lady Lu.

The Five Pecks of Rice School was not founded by Zhang Lu, but by Zhang Lu's grandfather, Zhang Daoling, and the Five Pecks of Rice School also has another name, which is: the Taoist School of the Celestial Masters, which is the Taoist School of the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain in later generations.

When it came to Zhang Lu, it was the third generation, and the Five Pecks of Rice School had a good reputation in Yizhou and was deeply sought after by the people.

During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there was almost no unrest in Yizhou because Yizhou was the self-reserved land of the Five Pecks of Rice School, and the Taiping Tao could not intervene at all.

Therefore, Liu Yan, who had considerable political skills, naturally tried to win over the Five Pecks of Rice School in order to consolidate his position and restrain the Yizhou aristocratic families.

It happened that Zhang Lu's biological mother, Lady Lu, although over thirty years old, her beauty was widely spread, so Liu Yan simply married Lady Lu and favored Lady Lu on weekdays.

With the relationship of Lady Lu, Liu Yan naturally trusted Zhang Lu very much, and had previously handed over Hanzhong Commandery, the most important part of Yizhou, to Zhang Lu.

This was originally a win-win situation.

But Liu Yan suffered from "riding wind" and killed Lady Lu in anger, it is conceivable how Zhang Lu would react to Liu Yan, such a murderer of his mother.

Zhang Song, who was well aware of the current situation in Yizhou, also nodded frequently and said.

"Lord Marquis is right, the current situation in Yizhou can be described as internal and external troubles. Fortunately, Zhang Lu still has a younger brother, Zhang Hui, left in the administrative center as a hostage, otherwise Zhang Lu would have directly rebelled."

"But even so, Zhang Lu now regards Liu Yizhou's orders as waste paper..."

At the end, Zhang Song's tone couldn't help but be filled with sighs.

Li Ji didn't know how to evaluate Liu Yan for a while. This was a typical example of playing a good hand poorly.

Yizhou was too stable, or Lady Lu was too beautiful, so that Liu Yan actually suffered from riding wind, causing internal and external troubles, and a short life.

It is no wonder that Liu Yan sealed the relevant news tightly. "Riding wind" is not a good reputation, and Liu Yan naturally does not want to be aggrieved before his death, and still be ridiculed by the world after his death.

After learning about Liu Yan's true situation, it is not difficult to conclude why Liu Zhang would accept the invitation to come to Wu Commandery at this juncture.

First, in order to pave the way for Liu Zhang, Liu Yan may take advantage of his remaining power to suppress the Yizhou aristocratic families while Liu Zhang is out, and then let Liu Zhang appease them after he returns;

Second, as Jia Xu said, it is to confuse the world and misjudge Liu Yan's physical condition to everyone, including Zhang Lu;

Third, I am afraid it is also to make Liu Zhang befriend Liu Bei.

Yangzhou and Yizhou are separated by the entire Jingzhou, and Liu Bei will undoubtedly not pose a threat to Yizhou in a short time.

However, Yizhou is currently in a state of internal and external troubles. If Hanzhong Commandery and Jingzhou attack Yizhou at the same time, even with natural dangers in hand, it will be by no means easy for Yizhou to resist.

Therefore, if Liu Zhang can befriend Liu Bei, he can undoubtedly restrain Jingzhou and prevent Liu Biao from having any ideas about Yizhou.

It's just...

Li Ji looked at Liu Zhang, who was watching the play intently downstairs and applauding from time to time, and already had a bit of the meaning of "forgetting Shu for pleasure".

After arriving in Wu Commandery, Liu Zhang knew to visit Liu Bei and Li Ji separately first, but then Liu Qi dragged him around Wu Commandery to play.

"So, Liu Jiyu's original plan to come to Wu Commandery was to befriend my lord?" Li Ji asked Zhang Song.

"That's right."

Zhang Song replied, then followed suit and looked towards Liu Zhang, saying.

"It's a pity that my lord is obsessed with enjoyment, and I'm afraid he has long forgotten his important task. He is really not a person who can achieve great things."

"Jiyu is still young, his mind is not firm for a while, and it is normal to be confused by external things. I expect he will be much better when he is older," Li Ji said with a smile.

"My lord is about the same age as Lord Marquis, but his style of doing things is very different, which is sighing."

Zhang Song's tone was full of contempt, without any regard for Liu Zhang's face, and undisguisedly revealed his dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang.
