Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 411: Massive Gu Rubing, Special Skills Martial Saint Arrives

At this moment in Jiangxia County, Gu Rubing was having a banquet with Zhao Yun and others in Huang Zu's prefectural mansion. Gu Rubing still had no idea about Ma Chao's experience. When everyone was having the banquet, a scout suddenly ran in.

The scout rushed into the lobby and knelt on one knee.

"Reporting to the governor, there is a troop of nearly 200,000 soldiers approaching here quickly, and it is expected to reach Xiakou City tomorrow morning."

Huang Zu stood up immediately after hearing this, and he became visibly nervous.

"Tomorrow morning? Two hundred thousand people? What's going on? Did Liu Zhang capture Jingzhou?"

"General Huang, don't worry."

Gu Rubing waved at Huang Zu and continued speaking with a smile.

"It's my second brother and the prime minister. Just let them come over."

"So it's General Guan and his men."

Huang Zu felt relieved after hearing this and sat back in his chair.

"Prime Minister? I heard that the Lord went to Nanyang some time ago and took Mr. Wolong under his command. Is this Prime Minister Mr. Wolong?"

Hearing Huang Zu's praise, Gu Rubing smiled knowingly.

"It is Mr. Zhuge. How come General Huang has also heard of the title of Prime Minister?"

"Of course I have heard of him. I once met Mr. Wolong, and he gave me a good strategy that helped me secure my position as the governor of Jiangxia."

When Huang Zu mentioned Zhuge Liang, a smile appeared on his face. Since Zhuge Liang came to Nanyang, many people here have received help from Zhuge Liang to varying degrees. For example, Huang Zu and Liu Qi have both asked Zhuge Liang for advice. Therefore, Zhuge Liang is not unfamiliar to them.

"Oh? There is such a connection?"

Gu Rubing was also a little curious. He knew that Liu Qi and Zhuge Liang had negotiated with each other before, but he really didn't know about Huang Zu.

Everyone was talking happily and it was getting late. The generals drank until midnight, except Zhao Yun. Huang Zu and his men tried to persuade him to drink several times, including Gu Rubing, who also persuaded him that it was good for young people to drink some wine. However, Zhao Yun refused every time. When asked why, he did not say why and just smiled faintly.

Late at night, Zhao Yun sent Gu Rubing to the room, then turned around and sat on the steps in the corridor. He sat there all night, and until the next day, when the sky in the east was getting brighter, Zhao Yun did not leave.

When Gu Rubing got dressed and pushed the door open, Zhao Yun was already standing outside with a gun in his hand. Looking at Zhao Yun's slightly haggard face, Gu Rubing suddenly realized that Zhao Yun didn't drink because if he drank, he would have no military generals to protect him. Moreover, when he got up in a daze last night, he seemed to see a figure inside and outside, shining into the house through the moonlight.

He didn't pay much attention to it at that time, but now when he thought about it, that person was Zhao Yun. Gu Rubing couldn't help but feel a little moved, and reached out and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder.

"Zilong, thank you for your hard work. I am so lucky to have you."

"My lord, I will never forget your kindness!"

Zhao Yun's voice was not loud, but it was extremely firm. Gu Rubing smiled and nodded slightly.

"How are you? Can you still hold on? Come with me to the city gate to welcome the Prime Minister. I'm sure Ziyi, Hansheng and Wenchang are still fast asleep now."

"Of course I can hold on."

"Well, the task of protecting me is left to you."

"The last general takes command!"

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded outside the yard.

"My Lord, I don't want to hear you say that. Who says only Zilong can get up early?"

At the gate of the courtyard, Taishi Ci's figure appeared, and with him appeared Huang Zhong.

"My lord, although Han Sheng is old, I cannot afford to be left behind in protecting you."

Gu Rubing looked at the two of them with a smile.

"You two are very capable people. Last night, you almost caught up with me in drinking."

"My lord, you are truly a man of great capacity."

When Huang Zhong said this, he couldn't help but think of Gu Rubing's bold words last night. Whoever could get him drunk would be rewarded handsomely. All of a sudden, all the hatred was directed at him. No matter they were generals, soldiers, or people under Huang Zu's command, as long as they got the chance, they would have a drink with Gu Rubing.

Even so, after several rounds of fighting, they failed to defeat Gu Rubing. Instead, they were all drunk by Gu Rubing. Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, who always liked drinking, saw Gu Rubing's drinking capacity and couldn't help but want to compete with him, but the final result was that they were both knocked down by Gu Rubing.

Gu Rubing couldn't help but want to laugh when listening to Huang Zhong's praise. It was not that he could drink a lot. His alcohol tolerance was just average at best in the world. When he went out to drink with clients, he could keep them company to some extent if they couldn't drink, but he would give up if he met those who could drink. With this kind of alcohol tolerance, Gu Rubing got more than 40 people drunk last night.

This can only be blamed on the fact that the alcohol content of the wine here is too low. It is obviously white wine, but in Gu Rubing's mouth, it is not even as good as the real Taishan 7 Days and Da Wusu, and can only compete with Green Stick. Gu Rubing is a master at drinking beer. He goes to add some water and comes back full of blood.

That was why they were defeated one after another. They were no match for Gu Rubing at all. Gu Rubing naturally would not tell them about this matter. He just pretended to be very knowledgeable and let them guess.

"Is Wenchang still awake? Did you drink too much last night?"

Gu Rubing smiled slightly. Last night, Wei Yan could be said to be the biggest resistance he encountered. He drank eight bowls in a row, trying to seduce Gu Rubing, but was "killed" by Gu Rubing.

"I am here, my lord."

A voice was heard outside the wall, and then a figure jumped onto the top of the wall, sat on the wall and looked at Gu Rubing.

"My lord, it's a huge amount! I am ashamed of myself!"

Wei Yan said as he jumped down from the top of the wall. "Oh, are you all here? Huang Zu greets the lord!"

Huang Zu's voice was heard from another distant door. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Huang Zu bringing Huang She and the others to Gu Rubing's yard and speaking straight to the point.

"Prime Minister Zhuge has been kind to me before, and now he is our prime minister. As the host, it would be inappropriate for me not to go and greet him, right? Since I, as the father, have gone, it would be even more inappropriate for these young people not to go."

As Huang Zu spoke, he pointed at Huang She and the younger generations behind him. They all smiled at each other and went to the city gate together to welcome the incoming Zhuge Liang.

"Oh my god, it has to be Prime Minister Zhuge. He is so honorable. Liu Caoxie was hungover, but he still got up early to greet him in person. The generals under his command are also not bad."

"Prime Minister Zhuge, do you think that Prime Minister Zhuge was in C during the entire battle? If it weren't for Prime Minister Zhuge, Jingzhou might have been taken down by Cao Zhonger and his men by now, and Liu Caoxie might even be in danger."

"Is this Liu Caoxie so drinkable? Is he the legendary person who can't absorb alcohol and has to drink it before he can excrete it?"

"Dude, you really don't have any historical knowledge at all? Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, their so-called liquor was still beer with a few degrees of alcohol. Occasionally, there might be wine brewed by brewers with a dozen degrees of alcohol, but that's just beer, for children to drink. If it was really liquor, who would drink it like this? I'll eat this computer screen right there."

"You're here to get free food and drinks again, right?"

"Prime Minister Zhuge is so honorable that Liu Caoxie came to greet him personally. From the perspective of Prime Minister Zhuge and his men, they are still more than ten miles away from Xiakou City, which would take at least an hour. Yet Liu Caoxie is ready to set off right now. This is really honorable. Apart from Prime Minister Zhuge, who else could make Liu Caoxie do this?"

"It has been more than seven months since Prime Minister Zhuge joined Liu Caoxie's army. During these seven months, Prime Minister Zhuge has devoted himself to the cause. He developed the Zhuge Crossbow, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of scouts and cavalry. He also developed the wooden ox and flowing horse, which helped Liu Caoxie transport food and salt. In the two major battles, Prime Minister Zhuge made all the plans and did it himself. Fa Zheng, Xi Zhicai and others became the role of checking for deficiencies and filling in the gaps, and were completely overshadowed by Prime Minister Zhuge's brilliance. Since the afternoon when Liu Caoxie invited Prime Minister Zhuge for the third time, Prime Minister Zhuge has never had a good sleep. Such a prime minister is worthy of Liu Caoxie's efforts!"

With the support of Gu Rubing's strong background, Zhuge Liang's personal charm is fully displayed. He is even likely to surpass Cao Cao and Sun Jian and become the most popular character besides Gu Rubing.

Gu Rubing and his group rode their horses to the gate of the west city wall to welcome Zhuge Liang.

About half an hour later, bursts of horse hoof sounds suddenly came from afar. The sound came closer and closer and soon came into everyone's sight. At a glance, a group of black iron armor were coming towards Xiakou City in an orderly manner. A murderous atmosphere filled the air, which made people afraid.

Huang Zu was also shocked when he saw such a powerful army. He couldn't help but think, if he had faced Sun Jian with such an army that day, would he have been able to hold out for so long? The answer was obvious: it was impossible. Huang Zu even felt that his Xiakou City was not worth mentioning in front of such an army.

As the army got closer, they could already see several people in front of the army. Zhuge Liang was in the middle, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang He, and Xu Rong were lined up beside him. Gu Rubing rode his horse forward to greet Zhuge Liang.

"Prime Minister, are you all right?"

Gu Rubing rode his horse up to Zhuge Liang and asked first. Zhuge Liang dismounted, took the feather fan, and bowed to Gu Rubing.

"Thank you for your concern, my lord. Thanks to you, everything is fine. I have not let you down and I have defended Jingzhou."

"Hahaha, Prime Minister, this not only did not disappoint me, it gave me such a huge surprise."

Gu Rubing said with a smile, and at the same time he couldn't help but look sideways at Guan Yu. From the moment he saw Guan Yu, he felt that Guan Yu seemed to have undergone a drastic change. First, he had that aura of majesty without even being angry, but now he couldn't contain it at all, and his fierce aura kept overflowing.

Without thinking, Gu Rubing roughly guessed what was going on, but he held back and did not open Guan Yu's panel. Instead, he greeted them first.

"Second brother, third brother, Junyi, Xuantu, long time no see, how are you doing lately?"

"Thanks to big brother, everything is fine."

Guan Yu dismounted, stroked his beard and said with a smile, while Zhang Fei patted his chest.

"Eat well, sleep well, and kill happily! Hahahaha, this time, I almost killed that bastard Xu Chu with my own hands."

Zhang He and Xu Rong also dismounted and saluted Gu Rubing with their fists clasped.

"everything is fine."

"Hahahaha, that's good, that's good. Come, let me introduce it to you."

As Gu Rubing spoke, he pulled Huang Zu, Huang Zhong and Wei Yan into the crowd and introduced them to everyone. After the introduction, a large crowd returned to Huang Zu's prefectural residence. Huang Zu assigned the hundreds of thousands of troops to Huang She, and asked him to settle these soldiers in the barracks first.

On the way, Zhuge Liang told Gu Rubing all the information he had obtained along the way. Zhuge Liang did not finish reporting the intelligence until they were about to arrive at the prefectural government. Gu Rubing finally had some free time and was able to open Guan Yu's panel to check. Just as Gu Rubing had expected, Guan Yu had been promoted to a legendary general.

[Name: Guan Yu]

[Identity: Bingzhou Mu]

[Military General Level: Legendary Military General (8/100) (Martial Saint Points: 1/100)]

【characteristic:……】

[Characteristic effect: ...]

[Skill: Martial Saint Advent (special skill): After Guan Yu was promoted to a legendary general, he became a Martial Saint of the time, and his all attributes were increased by +1000%. Martial Saint Advent effect: A special skill of a legendary general, which can temporarily summon a Martial Saint to possess him, gaining a +2100% bonus to all attributes, which lasts for a quarter of an hour. During use, all debuffs are ignored, and the attribute bonus from other people is increased by 100%. After use, there is no debuff for himself, and the cooldown time is twelve hours. The skill bonus of Martial Saint Advent will increase as the Martial Saint points increase.]

……

Seeing this, Gu Rubing's breathing almost stagnated, and the word "damn" almost came out of his mouth. Restraining his excitement, Gu Rubing looked at Guan Yu's panel again, and exclaimed in his heart, "damn!"

What is this? It's understandable that all attributes are increased by 1000%, after all, when Guan Yu was promoted to a famous general, he also gained 1000% of all attribute gains, but the Wu Dingbang characteristic was given to his subordinates, while the Wu Sheng Descent skill was given to Guan Yu.

These are not the most important things. The most important thing is the invincible and abnormal attribute bonus brought by the skill of Martial Saint's Descent after it is activated, which is a 2100% bonus to all attributes. It also ignores all debuffs from the enemy and will not weaken itself or give itself debuffs after it ends.

In addition to this, there is another very important bonus, which is the 100% increase in the characteristic bonus from others. Currently, the only ones who can provide Guan Yu with a large amount of attribute enhancement are Gu Rubing and Zhuge Liang, plus Xi Zhicai, Fa Zheng and other military advisors.

You know, Fa Zheng, Lu Su, Liu Ye and others are not far from becoming famous ministers, and Zhuge Liang is only one step away from becoming a legendary minister. The current characteristic bonuses are already high enough, so what if they are all promoted? Gu Rubing didn't even dare to think about it.
