Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 38: The eloquence that attracts people
If someone else had mentioned this, Guan Yu and Cheng Liang would have thought he was talking nonsense. Even if they would not report it to the authorities, they would have walked away immediately.

But Liu He was different. The two had long felt that they had similar personalities with Liu He. In addition, he was a relative of the Han royal family, so his words were naturally more convincing than those of others. After all, it was not possible for one of their own people to curse their own kingdom.

"Brother, you are indeed far-sighted and thoughtful. What you mean is that if we join the army now, we will definitely not be valued, but will be bullied. It is better to wait until a major rebellion occurs and the court needs to recruit soldiers to quell the rebellion, and then join the army. At that time, with our martial arts, we can naturally achieve success."

Cheng Liang expressed his understanding, and the other three also thought it made a lot of sense.

However, Liu He's eyes flashed and he looked at the four people.

"What Brother Cheng said is only half right."

The four of them became confused when they heard this and looked at Liu He.

"I am not going to join someone else's army, but we are going to recruit warriors on our own to serve the country!"

After these words were spoken, the four people were even more confused.

Liu He saw the expressions of the four people and knew that if he didn't explain it clearly, they might not understand.

"Think carefully, everyone. Once a great turmoil breaks out, who will the imperial court send to quell it? It will just be people selected from the current officials. If the imperial army loses, the people will suffer. If the imperial army wins, the people will just continue to live the same life as now. It is true that when prosperity comes, the people suffer, and when destruction comes, the people suffer. So I dare to organize a volunteer army by myself, and with my passion and martial arts, I will protect the people and report to my ancestors!"

Liu He's words were almost deafening to the four people, and they were unprecedented!

However, Guan Yu and the other four were all benevolent and righteous people who cared about the people. After hearing Liu He's ideas and opinions, which were not widely recognized by society until nearly two thousand years later, they not only did not think it was treasonous, but thought it was very reasonable!

"Great! What a great saying! When the country prospers, the people suffer; when the country perishes, the people suffer! Brother Liu has great ambitions and great talents. I have never admired anyone in my life. Today, Brother Liu really impressed me!"

"Young Master is really amazing. I, Zhang Yong, didn't follow the wrong person!"

"Brother, if you have such a great ambition, I, Zhu Ye, will follow you till death!"

"If you don't abandon me, I will follow you from now on, no matter how hard it takes, I will never say no!"

The four people were moved to tears by Liu He's words and expressed their attitudes one after another.

"System prompt: The host has gained the loyalty of a talented person. Cheng Liang: Command 33, Military Strength 86, Intelligence 41, Politics 35, Special Attributes: None. Because Cheng Liang's Military Strength has reached 86 points, the host is awarded 16 points."

The system's voice sounded in Liu He's mind, but Liu He was not happy because he did not receive any prompt from Guan Yu to pledge allegiance to him. This meant that although Guan Yu admired him, he had not yet reached the point of being determined to follow him.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you don't pledge allegiance, Master Guan, you are destined to be mine, if not today then tomorrow, if not tomorrow then the day after tomorrow, sooner or later you will be under my command, haha! Uncle Liu Bei, I have already made up my mind to dig up this corner of yours!"

Liu He swore secretly in his heart.

"System prompt: The host's analysis of the world situation by Guan Yu and the other four people has won the admiration of everyone. This is a good performance, which will trigger a special reward: Increase intelligence by 1 point."

Such a voice came from the system again, making Liu He even happier.

"Haha, today's harvest is huge! With our eloquence, I don't believe that we can't convince Master Guan Er!"

Liu He was full of confidence.

"If you two heroes don't mind, let's go buy horses together and then follow me home. From now on, the five of us will practice martial arts together and strive to achieve great achievements as soon as possible. What do you think?" Liu He, Zhu Ye and Zhang Yong looked at Guan Yu and Cheng Liang with expectant eyes.

Needless to say, Cheng Liang agreed immediately.

Guan Yu pondered for a moment, thinking that there was no other way out, so he agreed.

So, a group of five people came to the horse market, and after careful selection, they chose five decent war horses.

Originally, 100,000 coins could buy three pretty good war horses, but now three has become five, so one can only make do with it for the time being.

Guan Yu and Cheng Liang originally refused, but Liu He insisted on buying it, so they didn't say much.

Guan Yu and Cheng Liang returned to their residence, packed some clothes, carried their packages, and the five of them rode their horses towards Huangshui Township.

When the five people arrived at Liu He's house, it was already dark. Liu He kept Zhu Ye and explained the reason to his parents.

Liu Qian was happy to see that Guan Yu and Cheng Liang were both righteous men, so he asked Xu to prepare some more medicinal food. After the five of them enjoyed it together, they went to bed.

Fortunately, the Liu family built two more mud-brick houses a few years ago, so it was no problem to accommodate two more people.

At night, Liu He took out the weapons training manual, called Guan Yu and Cheng Liang to his room, and asked them to choose weapons so that they could practice martial arts together.

The two of them looked through it for a long time before making a decision.

"I like to play with swords, so I'll choose this sword as my weapon."

Liu He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Guan Yu had chosen a spear or an axe as his weapon, just imagine the battle scene. It would be a bit awkward.

As for Cheng Liang, he was born a farmer and didn't know what weapons were, so he chose one of the most common weapons of the era - the halberd.

Now there are two more people to support, and the two medicine shops are definitely not enough. The medicinal meals and baths for four people, plus the occasional need to exchange herbs for some food to supplement the family income, the daily consumption is huge, so Liu He exchanged for a new medicine garden.

Cheng Liang and Guan Yu are both older than Zhu Ye and Zhang Yong. Guan Yu is two years older than them, while Cheng Liang is three years older. Of course, Cheng Liang was born in December, so he was actually born only four months earlier than Guan Yu. This is different from the folk legends about the "birthday of Guan Yu" in Liu He's previous life.

Although the two had practiced martial arts on weekdays, they were only some rough moves and mainly relied on brute force, so they were quite surprised by Liu He and others' whole training method.

The intensity of today's training has been greatly increased, and the content has also been changed. We strive to exercise the muscles all over the body, practice the basics, practice weapons, and take an hour to practice archery. We go home to rest only after it is completely dark every night.

On this day, Liu He invited Zhu Ye to stay at his home again, and they discussed martial arts together until nearly midnight, when they returned to their rooms to rest.

"Haha, with Second Master Guan in hand, and the martial arts fanatic Zhu Ye, the heroic Cheng Liang, the hardworking Zhang Yong, and myself, the talented Zhang Yu, I don't believe that I can't carve out a niche for myself in these troubled times! Zhang Jue, Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, all of you just wait for me!"

Liu He was lying on the bed, his mind was drifting to who knows where, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became!
"System, system, please help check the current attribute progress of me, Zhang Yong, Zhu Ye, and Zhang Yu!"

Guan Yu and Cheng Liang had only trained for a few days, so it was estimated that there would not be any changes. Moreover, their martial arts were already very high, and it would not be easy to improve them at this stage. It was impossible for them to increase their martial arts by several points in a year like they did before.
