I am Li Shimin of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 9

Li Shimin saw the doubts on Mrs. Zhang's face, so he explained: "Nowadays, the world is full of chaos, the center is restless, the borders are restless, refugees are everywhere, and the world is not peaceful. I have practiced martial arts and learned strategies since I was a child. The purpose is to make contributions and help the community. Right now the barbarians are committing crimes, killing our Han people, plundering our Han family’s wealth, numerous crimes, too numerous to book, it is really tolerable or unbearable. Donate to the last drop of blood and never regret it."

Li Shimin saw Master Zhang nodding frequently, so he continued: "Now there is a passion in Xiakong, but there is no way to serve the country. I don't know where to start, so I discussed with my brothers that a certain background in Mayi will be convenient for the country. Know. You have a good relationship with the current county magistrate, so I would like to ask you to help me get in touch and introduce you to the county magistrate, even if I am only a pawn, I would like to fulfill my wish."

Mrs. Zhang nodded frequently, and was infected by Li Shimin's lofty sentiments. Once upon a time, the ideal of defending the family and the country and making contributions was also the goal of life he pursued, and it was also a family inheritance.

However, God's will played tricks, the ancestor's plan failed, and he was poor for half his life, and he had no merits. He couldn't justify the name of the ancestor, but he was trapped in the ancient city of Mayi, and he dared not escape for the rest of his life. Thinking about it, it is really sad.

Although the old man lived in seclusion most of the time and has been living in seclusion in this small city, he is actually a "scholar who doesn't go out and knows everything about the world". From the changes in the Han Dynasty in the past few years, from the court to the place, I can actually feel it faintly By the time the big man was already in turmoil, the world would be in chaos, but he dared not say such things even if he died.

At this time, Mr. Zhang also wanted to understand that on the eve of the impending chaos, one should not just wait for death, but seize the opportunity, the wind follows the dragon, and the tiger follows the cloud.Either rely on a powerful force, or find a flying dragon hidden in the abyss to take refuge.

According to his many years of experience in reading people, Li Shimin is both ambitious and ambitious, thoughtful and good at planning, and his martial arts are unfathomable, but he is extremely low-key and steady, not frivolous, he is a person who can accomplish great things, and perhaps there is hope to restore his ancestors glory.

However, this person has deep thoughts and seems to have his own secret, and he doesn't want to tell others.Forget it, who hasn't revealed a secret yet, since he doesn't want to tell it, the old man thought about it and didn't go into it anymore.

After weighing the pros and cons, Mr. Zhang has made up his mind to invest in Li Shimin and support him vigorously.

So he said: "Mr. Li is indeed a hero, and he will have a bright future in the future. Since my son chooses to share weal and woe with you, how can a father not support it."

Seeing that it was getting late, I thought it would be impossible today, and said apologetically to everyone: "Mr. Li, the generals are staying at the old man's house today, and there are also some banquets at the house. I have respected the friendship of the landlord. The matter of Mr. Zhang Wrap it on me."

Then he told Zhang Liao that today he must entertain them with good wine and good food.After all, he went down to rest on the grounds of being tired.

The three of Zhang Liao went through life and death, escaped from the grassland with great difficulty, and got the information. Between drinking five and six, it is really a big mouthful of meat and a big bowl of wine.

Li Shimin also ate his first meal at the end of the Han Dynasty, and he was naturally very satisfied, but he didn't drink much wine, because he had important things to do at night, so he couldn't drink enough to lose consciousness.

Seeing that Li Shimin drank a little and didn't want to drink more, they seemed to be very concerned, so they didn't try to persuade him to drink more, they just toasted him frequently to show their respect for him.

After almost 2 hours, Li Shimin saw that everyone was also drinking tossed about and was very happy, so he motioned for everyone to stop, picked up the wine bowl by himself, got up and said: "With the help of all heroes, I, Li Shimin, have a good fortune in my life. Success, great things can be expected, come, leave a name for us in the history of Japan, and win!"

In the evening, Zhang's family arranged a good guest room for him, and Li Shimin asked another servant for pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and planned to do a big job at night.At that time, the pharmacist Li Jing wrote his life's painstaking work into "Wei Gong Art of War", which is a summary of the pharmacist's life experience on the battlefield.But in order to prevent dissident generals from studying secretly and fighting against the imperial court, Li Jing finally handed him over to Li Shimin, and did not pass it on.

At that time, he still remembered the scene of reading "The Art of War of the Duke of Wei" for the first time. Li Shimin was originally a warrior on the battlefield, so he couldn't put it down. The failure of the book also found the answer in this art of war, so I like the exception, almost to the point of being familiar with it.

To this day, although the "traversal" has reached the end of the Han Dynasty, his memory has not changed at all, so he wanted to write down this art of war silently, and then he met a general who could be cultivated and passed it on to him.Apparently, Li Shimin felt that Zhang Liao was a talent that could be created, and wanted to pass on the first book to him, so that he could surpass his previous achievements...

Early the next morning, Li Shimin still got up early to practice martial arts in the open space of the courtyard. Yesterday Zhang Liao sent over a good horse lance, which was forged from rare meteorite iron. It is a rare magic weapon. It is said that one of his ancestors was good at using this weapon. It has been handed down later, but the descendants will never use it again.

Li Shimin was dancing the horse lance on his own, every move was very methodical, although it seemed that every move was very simple, in fact, he had already practiced to the point of being unpretentious and returning to the basics.

At this time, Mr. Zhang also came out from the inner courtyard. When he saw Li Shimin practicing martial arts there, he didn't bother him. He just watched quietly. He was actually good at martial arts when he was young, and he also used this ancestral horse spear , but Ma Chan's blade is very long and heavy, and the barrel of the gun is also long. From a mechanical point of view, it is not good to practice without a certain amount of arm strength.He practiced for a period of time before giving up, because he just missed the point.

But Li Shimin's moves are very handy, the moves seem to be ordinary, but in fact they imply ultimate moves, which have reached the stage of perfection. It really is a hero born out of a teenager, which is rare and rare, Mr. Zhang sighed for a while.Seeing that Li Shimin didn't intend to stop for a while, the old man didn't bother, and left in a hurry.

After noon, Mr. Zhang called a bearer and carried him up to the county magistrate's mansion.The current county magistrate Li is an old acquaintance of his, and he is not too young. In fact, he has reached the age of becoming an official, but because of the chaos on the border, no one is willing to take over from him, so he continues to work.

It turned out to be Mayi's chief secretary, Mr. Zhang's assistant second officer. Later, after Mr. Zhang resigned, this master Li spent some money and moved up a bit before he sat on the throne of the county magistrate.

At this time, County Magistrate Li was an ant on the hot pot. Recently, Hu people frequently came to harass him and sent a small group of troops to rob the village, which made him very annoyed.In addition, he also heard that there was a severe drought in the grasslands this year, and the pastures were dry, and many cattle and sheep of the Hu people starved to death, and the losses were heavy.

County magistrate Li had already written to the prefect's office of Yanmen County and the governor of Bingzhou, reporting the situation and his concerns.Because of this, Inspector Zhang arranged for people to go to the grassland to investigate the situation, so as to prepare in advance, so Zhang Liao and his party went deep into the grassland hinterland to spy on information.

After waiting and waiting, the above finally replied, asking him to continue to collect information, and at the same time allowing Mayi to recruit a team of 500-1000 people in the form of county soldiers for defense. After the Hu people invaded, a large army would come.

But I am a frail scholar, and I don't know how to train soldiers. The former county lieutenant died on the top of the city, and some of the original county soldiers were panicked and could not be used.

It turns out that the reason for the recent turmoil is that a small group of Hu people sneaked into the pass from the road and looted everywhere. Before the hundreds of Hu people attacked Mayi, it was thanks to the desperate resistance of the former county lieutenant that he finally defended the city.

When County Magistrate Li was in a state of desperation, he heard the guards say that Mr. Zhang was visiting, so he thought it was time to ask the old county magistrate to see if there was anything he could do, so he immediately sent someone to invite the old county magistrate to the inner hall.

Both guests and hosts were seated, and after a few polite greetings, the old man was ready to get straight to the point.Seeing that magistrate Li was very haggard and his hair was a little messed up, he knew why he was anxious.It's just that he didn't want to push Li Shimin out right away.

So, he asked, "Binzhi, the name of County Magistrate Li, I think you are uneasy, but if you have any difficulties, please tell me, maybe the old man can help you." "

County magistrate Li was also very happy to hear that, thinking that maybe the old county magistrate Zhang really had a solution, so he told him the current situation in detail.

Mr. Zhang said slowly: "Binzhi, this old man's son has met a young man from a foreigner. He is from a famous family. He is skilled in martial arts, smart and capable, and has a good nature. Why don't I go home and talk to him, let him come to you to try?" Try, if you think it’s okay, let him serve as your county lieutenant temporarily, if not, let him go, what do you think?”

Of course, the old man said this because of his trust in Li Shimin. He felt that Li Shimin would definitely be competent. He didn't want to directly say what he wanted. He also wanted to whet his appetite. He wanted Li County Magistrate to rely more on Li Shimin, thereby increasing Li Shimin's worth. Because he works in the Yamen.

"Haha, that's great. I believe that the old county magistrate's vision is definitely competent. Let him come tomorrow. No, I'll invite you now." County magistrate Li said excitedly...
