I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 36 Martial Saint Guan Yu
Li Shimin and his party rode towards the cottage with great fanfare. Before seeing the shadow of the cottage, suddenly dozens of unknown soldiers with knives and guns jumped out from both sides of the valley, and surrounded Li Shimin and his party.

On the mountains on both sides, it seems that there are still archers in ambush. Judging from the speed of this team's movement, it is definitely not an ordinary bandit.
The leader was a dark-faced Kong Wuzi, holding a long knife and watching the group of uninvited guests vigilantly.He raised his voice and said, "Who are you? This place has already been occupied by us. If you are sensible, leave as soon as possible, otherwise my sword will not recognize anyone."

At this time, Xi Zhicai rode forward and said, "My lord, it seems that their soldiers have trained well." Xu Shu also smiled and nodded, obviously agreeing very much.

"Take me to meet your leader, and tell him that a friend from Jinyang is looking for him." Li Shimin said bluntly without talking nonsense.

The big guy in the lead couldn't figure out the background of this group of people, he wanted to report to the leader at first, so he said: "Wait here, don't play tricks, otherwise your life will be lost, I will come as soon as I go. "

Li Shimin waited here patiently for a while, and saw a group of people rushing over from a distance, the leaders were Zhou Cang and Gan Xinghan.

Seeing that it was indeed Li Shimin, he was overjoyed, but there were too many people here, Zhou Cang and the others couldn't immediately salute and greet him, so they could only show joy in their eyes, obviously they missed Li Shimin very much.

Seeing Li Shimin shaking his head towards him, Zhou Cang also understood what he meant, and immediately said loudly: "Come on, push them up the mountain for me, these are all my fat sheep, you can't be unreasonable, don't hurt them!" They, haha."

Immediately, Li Shimin and his party were invited to the cottage. After abandoning the left and right, Zhou Cang and Gan Xinghan paid respects and called out "Master" emotionally.

"Two generals, please get up quickly." He helped them up as he spoke, and said with great satisfaction: "The two generals have worked hard and made great achievements, and the new army has also trained very effectively. I am very pleased, haha"

The literati and military generals under Li Shimin introduced each other, and after a few pleasantries, the host and guest sat down.

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Introduce your achievements to the two military advisers."

It turns out that during the month Li Shimin left, Zhou Cang and Gan Xinghan recruited a total of 3000 horses from the refugees, and they have been well trained, including 500 cavalry.

A huge camp was also built in the mountains, enough to accommodate 5000 soldiers and horses, and the surrounding defenses were strengthened. Secret sentries were set up at each pass to patrol from time to time to prevent anyone from discovering the secrets here.

Iron ore has also started to be mined on a large scale, and more than a thousand catties of high-quality iron can be produced in a month. A lot of long knives and armor have been built, and the team can be fully armed next month.

Li Shimin was also very happy to hear that, and asked them to continue to increase mining, first to build 5000 weapons, and the rest to be made into iron, and then he had arrangements for himself.At the same time, the refugees continued to absorb, and at least 5000 elite soldiers had to be trained. In addition, land was reclaimed and farmed in places with flat terrain in the mountains to make up for military funds.

After staying here for a while, Li Shimin selected 100 strong young men from the team, took them away, and prepared to train them himself. He wanted to build an iron army that would not lose to the Xuanjia Army.

After calming down the Yunzhongshan team, Li Shimin took Gan Xinghan and the others on the road in a hurry, heading north towards Loufan Pass.

This path is between Luliang Mountain and Yunzhong Mountain. It is sparsely populated and the mountain road is rugged. It is not suitable for large-scale army marching, because it is surrounded by mountains and there are not many fertile fields.

Li Shimin and his party are also very careful. Although they have more than 100 horses, they are not familiar with the place after all. If a bold bandit comes to the door and uses this terrain to make a fuss, it will be no small trouble for his group, so this March cautiously all the way.

On the marching road, Li Shimin heard vaguely that there seemed to be shouts of killing coming from a distance, and he immediately ordered the troops to stop and let everyone hide everywhere, and he took Gan Xinghan and a few guards and followed the sound.

He quietly leaned over and saw a big man surrounded by a group of men in black.It can be seen that these men in black are professional killers, with extraordinary martial arts skills, and they seem to have formed a powerful seven-star sword formation. The sword formation is both offensive and defensive, which is extremely wonderful.

Then look at the big man in the arena, with a beautiful beard, free and easy, the big sword in his hand is unparalleled, magnificent, and the sword technique is extraordinary and sacred, and it seems to be faintly making the sound of dragon chant, he is indistinguishable from these dozens of people wind.

Li Shimin was also very surprised, there are such masters of knife use, today is an eye-opener.But he doesn't intend to act hastily. After all, this may be a grievance between the world and complicated. No one can tell who is right and who is wrong, and he doesn't want to intervene rashly.

The besieged man didn't panic in the slightest. In the melee, his blade was like the wind, and his movements were exquisite. He killed many men in black in a row, and even made the seven-star sword formation much less powerful.This group of killers didn't seem to have expected this person's martial arts to be so strong, and they were at a loss for a while, so they could only be beaten passively.

Just at this moment, a mysterious master appeared from the dark place, combined his sword and sword, and stabbed the big man's back silently. Feel the abnormality behind.

When it was too late, Li Shimin drew his bow and set his arrow straight at the man in black who was attacking. The arrow contained infinite momentum and was shot with incomparable precision.

The sneak attacking man in black obviously didn't expect the big man to have a helper. Although he already sensed something strange behind him and tried to avoid it, it was already too late.

The arrow hit the assassin's vital point, and the assassin died on the spot.Seeing the assassin behind him fell to the ground, the big man realized that someone was attacking him from behind.Immediately, his anger soared, and even the blade was full of murderous aura. In just a few rounds, he beheaded all the men in black, leaving no one behind.

"Where is the hero who will help, please show up and see." The big man said loudly.

At that time, Li Shimin wanted to stand on the sidelines and didn't want to get involved in their grievances, but felt that the assassin's methods of hurting people behind the scenes were very contemptible, so he came to help.

Seeing that he had been exposed, he no longer hid, got up from his hiding place, and walked towards the big man.

After approaching, I found that this person was nine feet long, with a beard two feet long, with a face like a date, lips like fat, red phoenix eyes, and lying silkworm eyebrows. His appearance was dignified and majestic.

Right now, the first thing he thought of was that this person was similar to the person in the wanted poster that day, and suddenly he was shocked, this person could not be Guan Erye.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin was so excited that he couldn't be more excited. The person in front of him is probably Yibo Yuntian Guan Yunchang, who is also his favorite general. Although martial arts is not the strongest existence in the Three Kingdoms, but flooding the seven armies, Megatron China's peerless generation Grace, obviously no one can match.

Li Shimin asked very excitedly: "May I ask if you are Guan Yunchang?"

"Guan Yunchang? That's a good name, but I don't call it that. I'm Guan Yu, Guan Changsheng. Thank you for your kindness." The big man said politely.

"Guan Changsheng, but the Guan Changsheng who killed Puzhou prefect Xiong Hu and his son Xiong Xiang?" Xi Zhicai asked uncertainly.

"That's right, I was the one who killed it. The big man dares to act bravely. If such wicked people don't kill them, it won't be enough for the common people to be outraged. I will kill one by one when I see them." The big man said indifferently, "Could it be that you are people in the government and want to arrest me?" Go back?" He said, looking at them warily.

"General Guan, Li Shimin, the magistrate of Mayi County in Xiabing Prefecture and the captain of Yanmen County, and Li Shimin, they are my staff. We rushed back to Mayi on the way, but the general was attacked on the way, not to arrest you Yes." Li Shimin said slowly: "A bully like Xiong Hu and his son, it is not a pity to die. The general killed this villain, and we naturally applauded."

As soon as these words came out, Guan Yu relaxed his vigilance.

Li Shimin finally remembered that after Guan Yu killed the bully, he changed his name to Guan Yunchang to prevent being caught by the government.

"That's right, this person is Guan Yu." Li Shimin was very sure.

"General Guan, where are you going? Why did you meet these killers here?" Li Shimin asked curiously. In his heart, he had long wanted to recruit him under his command, but he also knew that haste makes waste.

"Guan, who killed the prefect of Puzhou and was wanted by the government, had no choice but to leave his hometown. He wanted to go to Zhuo County, Youzhou to join his relatives and friends. He never thought that he would suddenly encounter these killers on the road. Guan also really didn't know why he was attacked by them. I don't know if I was hunted down, or maybe the killer the enemy found wanted my life." Guan Yu's expression was solemn, obviously not like lying.

After Li Shimin heard this, he also felt that this matter was too strange. He knew that Guan Yu would not lie to himself.It's just that I met Guan Yu and was besieged and killed as soon as I arrived here, and I happened to save him by chance.

The assassination was very intriguing. After thinking about it, Li Shimin still couldn't figure out the reason, so he wanted to put the matter aside first, and arrange an investigation later. Right now, he still has the most important thing.

"General Guan, I have admired the general for many years. It is God's will to see you today. The general is a rare and unparalleled person in the world. I am not talented. I hope that the general can make contributions with me, help the society, and restore the world. , General, please don't refuse." Li Shimin spoke with sincerity, without any affectation.

Guan Yu was also moved by these words. Seeing that Li Shimin had a sense of righteousness, he was definitely not a villain, and he was willing to join him in his heart, and he himself wanted to join the army to serve the country, but because of his status as a fugitive, he had nowhere to join the army. There is no way to serve the country.

However, he still had some concerns, so he said, "Thank you for your kindness, General, but I am still a criminal of the imperial court, and I am wanted by name. Isn't the General afraid that it will affect your career in the future?"

"Haha, if you win Guan Yunchang in this life, do you care about your career or not? If General Guan can trust me, I will take care of your affairs. I guarantee that no one will dare to trouble you in the future." Li Shimin said firmly.

When Guan Yu heard this, he was very moved, and was deeply moved by Li Shimin's sincerity and arrogance. In addition, he still had the grace to save his life, so he knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Guan is willing to be driven by the general. Be loyal and do the work of a dog and a horse."

"Haha", Li Shimin laughed loudly.Guan Yunchang is mine...
