The next day, Liu Shimin rushed to Sichuan with a package and a long sword to join the Southwest Army.

Wang Yue planned to retreat for two months, and then go directly to Dadu to make peace with the rebels.

"Great Grandmaster, it's not the pinnacle of martial arts. Wang Yue secretly said in his heart, "Now my cultivation can be regarded as a critical moment, and the more I get to the end, the more I can't go wrong." ”

"Only by cultivating without stopping can we break through the Great Grandmaster and reach another realm of martial arts. ”

The martial artist that Wang Yue admires the most is Zhang Sanfeng.

Although Zhang Sanfeng is already famous all over the world and has become the number one master in the world, he still retreats and cultivates without the slightest relaxation.

It can be said that almost all of Zhang Sanfeng's life has been dedicated to martial arts.

Although Wang Yue is now a great sword intent and has reached the realm of the unity of man and sword, in the face of Zhang Sanfeng, he is not at all sure that he will win.

..................

After Liu Shimin came to Sichuan, he just caught up with the Emei faction recruiting troops.

Seeing the recruitment point in Chengdu, Liu Shimin was puzzled in his heart: "The Emei faction has already controlled Sichuan and has an army of 100,000, but now it is still recruiting." Can Sichuan Province support so many soldiers?"

Liu Shimin also has some understanding of the six major factions, especially when he learned that Zhou Zhiruo is his uncle, he is even more interested in the Emei faction.

"The master asked me to go to the front line to kill the enemy, so it's better for me to join the recruits directly in Chengdu. ”

Liu Shimin took a long sword and carried a package on his back and entered the recruitment site.

"Name. ”

A middle-aged man dressed in a soldier's uniform asked Liu Shimin.

"Liu Shimin. ”

"What did you do before?"

Liu Shimin said helplessly: "The kid had studied at home for a few years before, but his family was plagued by the Mongols, and he had no choice but to come to be a soldier." ”

The middle-aged man saw Liu Shimin's white and pure appearance, and sneered: "I didn't expect you kid to be a scholar." But you have to think about it. When you become a soldier, you have to be ready to lose your head at any time. ”

With hatred in his eyes, Liu Shimin said: "I came to be a soldier just to kill the Mongols and to take revenge." ”

The middle-aged man laughed loudly: "Okay, ambitious." I like you scholar. Come, here's your number, take the token, and go to the barracks. ”

Liu Shimin took the token. I went to the barracks to report.

..................

On Mount Emei, Zhou Zhiruo was checking the recruitment situation below.

"Master, now we have recruited another 20,000 recruits, and if this continues, our mother's grass will not be enough at all. An Emei sect disciple reminded behind Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Zhiruo frowned slightly: "This seat knows." But our Emei faction is going to send troops. The troops guarding Sichuan are not enough. When the time comes, Zhu Yuanzhang will give us a sneak attack. At that time, half of Sichuan will fall into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang. Mongolians, we have to fight, but Zhu Yuanzhang, we also have to guard against it. ”

With 100,000 troops, it is enough to defend Sichuan, but now it is necessary to send a large army to fight a decisive battle with the Mongols. That's a little less.

"Boss, but these recruits have no combat experience at all and go to the battlefield. How do we control and command them?"

The Emei disciple asked with a frown.

Zhou Zhiruo smiled confidently: "This seat has its own arrangements, so don't worry." Wu Mu's suicide note clearly states that using veterans to lead new recruits and going to the battlefield can also play a role. By the way, is there any news of Cheng Kun?"

Wang Yue asked Zhou Zhiruo to mobilize the power of the Emei faction to find Cheng Kun, but after so many days, he still hadn't found it.

The Emei sect disciple shook his head and said, "Cheng Kun disappeared when he left Sichuan. The last time he was seen was at the helm of the beggar gang in Nanjing. Boss, our strength in Nanjing is very weak, and it is not easy to find Cheng Kun. However, according to our speculation, Cheng Kun is likely to have blended into Zhu Yuanzhang's camp. ”

The cold glint in Zhou Zhiruo's eyes flashed and disappeared, and he sneered: "Cheng Kun has entered Zhu Yuanzhang's camp? Hehe, it's really interesting, this Cheng Kun and Mingjiao are like fire and water, and now they are mixed with Mingjiao, it's really incredible." ”

"Okay, Cheng Kun's matter, let's put it first, since we guessed that he was in Zhu Yuanzhang's camp, we will have time to find him in the future. What we have to do now is to mobilize the army and start the Northern Expedition, and only by driving the Mongols out of the Central Plains can the power of our Emei faction continue to expand. Three days later, we will march north!"

The Emei sect disciple hugged his fists and said, "Yes, master." ”

........................

The Mingjiao army was 400,000, the Emei faction had 80,000 troops, and the other five major factions also sent 20,000 horses each.

All the troops combined, nearly 600,000 people.

The Mongols have long lost the blood and bravery of the "Genghis Khan" period, and in the face of the 600,000 army of the Han Chinese, they can only continue to rout.

Liu Shimin was only a small soldier in the southwest army of the Emei faction, but he was strong in swordsmanship and quite fierce in killing enemies. Along the way, there were as many as 100 Mongols who died under his sword Liu Shimin.

Liu Shimin's martial arts are third-rate, but those soldiers of the Mongols are not martial arts masters, just ordinary people who are stronger than the common people.

After a battle, Liu Shimin's true qi was exhausted, exhausted, and he was still injured.

"Scholar, how are you kid?"

A thin middle-aged man saw that Liu Shimin was covered in blood, and hurriedly asked.

Liu Shimin is now the most powerful soldier under him, so he is very precious, for fear that Liu Shimin will be careless and die in battle.

Liu Shimin sighed and said with a wry smile: "Captain Wu, it's okay, it's just a flesh injury, and you can't die." ”

Wu Chang nodded and said, "It's okay." You kid, you're amazing, you've killed more Mongols than me. Scholar, don't worry, I will write down your merits one by one, and when I go back, I will ask Shangguan to add you to the rank of knight, haha. ”

Liu Shimin smiled: "Thank you, Captain Wu." ”

In fact, Liu Shimin didn't care about this merit at all, he came to join the army, not to increase his official ranks, but to complete the master's task and train himself.

At night. Liu Shimin sat on the grass outside the tent and happily practiced his internal skills.

There are many martial artists like Liu Shimin in the army, and Liu Shimin's practice of martial arts at night does not seem very special.

Feeling that his internal strength had become a lot more refined, Liu Shimin was happy in his heart: "The master is right, if you want to advance by leaps and bounds in martial arts, you can only fight to the death." With my current cultivation speed, in a few days, I will be able to become a second-rate martial artist. ”

Although Liu Shimin is a martial artist. But fighting among the ten thousand armies, in the face of the powerful killing aura, he also felt a strong pressure.

As long as he is not a grandmaster warrior, he will fight in the army and die. is a very normal thing.

..................

A huge military tent hit, Mingjiao. Emei faction. The Wudang faction, the leaders of the four forces of the Shaolin Temple gathered here. The Kunlun faction, the Huashan faction, and the Kongtong faction are the other way, and they do not converge here.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the main seat, looking like the leader of the alliance.

Although the rest of the people are dissatisfied. But he didn't say anything. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's military strength is the strongest and his martial arts are the highest, and no one dares to object.

Liu Bowen pointed to the map in the big tent and explained to the leaders: "Everyone. Our coalition forces have captured territory north of the Yellow River, and now we are not far from the Mongol capital. As long as we can crush the last of the Mongols' forces in one fell swoop, then we can completely drive the Mongols back to the steppes. Within seven days, the men and horses of Kongtong, Huashan, Kunlun, and the three factions will arrive in the Mongolian capital and join us. ”

Sitting first on the left is Zhou Zhiruo of the Emei faction.

Zhou Zhiruo was also followed by several generals in armor, who were the leaders of the Sichuan Southwest Army.

Zhou Zhiruo had murderous aura in his eyes, and asked in a cold voice: "Master Liu, this seat is very strange, why do you want to drive the Mongols back to the steppe, instead of blocking them on the north bank of the Yellow River and killing them all? With the strength of our coalition army, it may not be impossible to kill all the Mongols in the Central Plains!"

Zhou Zhiruo hated the Mongols the most, and the Mongols not only killed her father and mother, but also killed the extermination master. Zhou Zhiruo has always wanted to avenge this revenge.

Originally, Zhou Zhiruo wanted to go to Zhao Min for revenge, but Zhao Min followed Zhang Wuji to Ice and Fire Island, which made her plan fall through at once. However, Zhao Min was not killed, but this time Zhou Zhiruo must kill Zhao Min's father and brother.

Listening to Zhou Zhiruo's words, not only Liu Bowen frowned slightly, but the others were also surprised.

Zhou Zhiruo, such a powerful murderous aura!

Wudang Song Yuanqiao said: "Master Zhou, we raised troops for the sake of the Han people in the world, as long as the Mongols are driven out of the Central Plains, it will be fine." People, let's kill less. ”

Master Kongwen clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Master Zhou, our purpose is only to restore the Han people. As for killing, the so-called suffering of all living beings is better than killing. ”

Zhou Zhiruo sneered: "Master Kongwen is really compassionate. It's just that after so many years, why hasn't Shaolin tempered the Mongols? This seat brought troops here just to kill the enemy, and now you are still here to preach Buddhism? What a joke. ”

"Bai Qi killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers back then, and he made great contributions to the Qin State, and some people don't necessarily say that he is not. Why do you want to kill a few Mongols in this seat, but you are talking about me. Are you Han Chinese or Mongols?"

Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked, "Sect Master, the overthrow of the Mongolian court will soon be realized, but after the overthrow of the Mongols, what are you going to do next?"

Zhou Zhiruo's words touched everyone's hearts, and everyone looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said loudly: "Overthrow the Mongols, we Han people will be the masters of the house." However, the kingdom shall not be without a king for a day. Therefore, after driving out the Mongols, the first thing the head of the sect had to do was to ascend the throne as emperor. Of course, your six major factions have also made great efforts, so the sect leader will reward you for your merits, seal you, and keep your glory and wealth inexhaustible. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang wants to be the emperor, this is a well-known thing, but now that he said it blatantly, everyone was still shocked.

Zhou Zhiruo laughed loudly: "If the sect leader wants to ascend the throne and become the emperor, this seat naturally supports it. I wonder what the Sect Master can give me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhou Zhiruo: "What does Master Zhou want?"

Zhou Zhiruo stood up and said loudly: "Zhu Yuanzhang, if you want to be the emperor, this seat can promise you, but Sichuan and Yunnan must be controlled by my Emei faction." ”

Zhou Zhiruo left the big tent with several generals of the Southwest Army and disciples of the Emei faction.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his face turned pale, Zhou Zhiruo was really too arrogant, and he dared to ask for the territory of Sichuan and Yunnan provinces.

"Zhou Zhiruo, this sect leader will definitely kill you in Dadu. Definitely!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly in his heart.

Without Wang Yue, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill Zhou Zhiruo, and he could do it.

When he arrives in Dadu, he may be able to kill Zhou Zhiruo with a little strategy, and also make the other sects have nothing to say. (To be continued......)
