The commander of the 8,000 army in Zhending County is the county commander Wang Chang, he is the elder brother of the powerful Wang Sheng who was eliminated by the wolf horse, and after receiving the news of his brother's death, he took up the 8,000 army in the county and went straight to Niutou Mountain to take revenge. Relying on the 8,000 army in his hand, he is simply the true emperor of the soil, and the people dare not speak out, Hu Li also knows his evil deeds, but he is suffering from the initial creation of his army, and there is no siege equipment, if he storms the county seat, he may suffer heavy casualties, so he did not dare to fight the idea of the county seat, and now Wang Chang is carried away by hatred, and he does not know that Hu Li has more than 1,000 cavalry, but has 8,000 troops, including 4,000 cavalry. Wang Chang, who didn't know the reality of the enemy's army, took the liberty of killing Niutou Mountain, and God was helping Hu Li get the city of Zhending County.

In the evening, about ten miles away from Niutou Mountain, Wang Chang ordered to camp and cook, preparing to touch Niutou Mountain at night at night, and catch Hu Li and others off guard, but as everyone knows, all his actions have already been known by the golden eagle hovering in the sky. As soon as they started the fire, there was a rumbling tremor on the ground, and when the cavalry commander under Wang Chang noticed that this was the shock caused by the charge of the cavalry, Wang Chang could already see the dust raised by the galloping of the cavalry in the direction of Niutou Mountain, Wang Chang hurriedly ordered the army to line up, but how could the hastily arranged formation withstand the charge of a thousand heavily armored iron cavalry. Under the leadership of Zhao Yun's first soldier, the heavy-armored iron cavalry easily tore apart the enemy's formation, and the damage of the heavy-armored iron cavalry was minimal, and when the heavy-armored iron cavalry turned its horse head to prepare for the second charge, Wang Chang's army had already collapsed, but how could the two-legged man outrun the four-legged horse, after Zhao Yun and the heavy-armored iron cavalry shouted "Those who kneel on the ground and ask for surrender will not be killed", they all dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground and surrendered. And Wang Chang saw that the general trend had gone, and hurriedly led his five hundred cavalry to break through, but at this time, the three thousand light cavalry led by Xiahou Lan had also arrived, and Wang Chang, who had no way to enter the sky and no way to enter the ground, was stabbed under the horse by Zhao Yun in one round.

After the battle, it was found that Wang Chang's 8,000 troops were killed only 700 people, and the rest were captured, while only more than a dozen people on Hu Li's side had more than a dozen people lightly injured, which was simply zero casualties, and the power of the heavy armored iron cavalry can be seen. When inquiring about the cavalry commander under Wang Chang and learning that Wang Chang had come out of the nest this time, and there were only 100 old, weak, sick and disabled defenders left in Zhending County, Hu Li and Xiahoulan immediately led 3,000 light cavalry with the cavalry commander Starry Night to Zhending County.

In the early morning of the next day, Hu Li and others finally arrived at the city of Zhending, under the persuasion of the cavalry commander, the defenders opened the city gate, Hu Li immediately sent people to control the city gates on all sides, and he went straight to the county office, after controlling Wang Chang's family, he opened the county warehouse and Wang Chang's private vault, and took out a part of the money and grain to appease the people. After that, Hu Li received the Zhending county decree on his own, re-registered and distributed land, lowered taxes, re-handled unjust, false and wrongful cases, and sent people to repair the roads in the city and the dilapidated thatched huts of the poor.

After appeasing the hearts of the people in Zhending County, Hu Li decided to march to the surrounding Jiumen and Geng Township, firstly because these two cities were low, with only 2,000 defenders and low combat effectiveness, and secondly, because Hu Li wanted to take advantage of the two cities of Jiumen and Geng Township to ask for reinforcements before they were captured, of course, Hu Li found a large number of siege equipment from the warehouses in Zhending County was where Hu Li's confidence to capture Jiumen and Geng Township lies.

When Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan each led 1,500 light cavalry and 2,000 infantry and siege equipment to Jiumen and Gengxiang almost at the same time, a dramatic scene occurred, the city gate guards of Jiumen and Gengxiang actually opened the city gate when they saw Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan showing the wolf head banner of Changshan wolf riding, and Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan controlled the two cities without much effort.

It turned out that most of the guards at the city gate came out of the surrounding villages, and they all knew that it was the Changshan wolf rider who helped them get rid of the landlord Haoqiang who bullied their relatives, so they all unanimously decided to open the city gate and welcome the Changshan wolf to ride into the city.

After occupying the three cities of Zhending, Jiumen, and Gengxiang, the total population of Huli's territory reached more than 130,000 people, and the task of the system was finally completed. Hu Li hurriedly opened the system and looked at it, and found that the system task changed to "The host needs to rule a territory with a population of more than 1 million people within three years, otherwise it will be wiped out by the system, the host cannot take refuge in others, otherwise it will also be wiped out, and the loss of the territory will also be wiped out if the population is less than 1 million." ”

Click on the flashing reward option, it reads "Because the host completes the system task in advance, a pair of gold silk soft armor of the host is specially rewarded, after Hu Li clicks to receive the reward, a pair of fine and soft, soft armor with a metallic luster appears on Hu Li's hand, this soft armor is divided into two pieces, worn on the outside of the underwear is very close-fitting, full of elasticity, and the weight is only about two or three catties, which does not affect the action at all." The soft armor is made of an unknown metal wire, which is very flexible, and the sword cannot leave traces on it at all, and the weaving is very delicate, which cannot be achieved by ancient craftsmanship, and the stabbing of sharp objects such as arrows cannot penetrate at all, and even the vigorous impact of a blunt instrument can be reduced by about fifty percent. After experimenting with these functions, Hu Li couldn't put it down and put on soft armor, which protected Hu Li's arms and calves, and it was very breathable on the body.

Three months later, Zhending, Jiumen, and Gengxiang were thriving under the governance of Hu Li, Zhao Yun, and Xiahou Lan, and the grain output of the three places was also greatly increased because of Hu Li's various measures, one is that Hu Li provided a large number of horses for free to help cultivate to liberate the labor force, the second is that Hu Li paid for the construction of water conservancy and irrigation projects in the idle time of the young and strong farmers in the county, and the third is that Hu Li got rid of the landlords who owned a lot of land but were rich and unkind, and distributed their land to the poor people according to the population. It has greatly improved the people's enthusiasm for labor. The army was expanded from 8,000 to 16,000, but due to the limited number of horses, the cavalry still consisted of only 1,000 heavy cavalry and 3,000 light cavalry. Each of the three cities had 5,000 troops, and another 1,000 troops were stationed at the Niutoushan base to ensure the normal production of ordnance.
