Chapter 81 Reopening the Silk Road

[Newcomers, New Books, Clicks, Collections, Recommendations] Hu Li, the general of the cavalry, obtained the entire Zhao State and the small half of Wei County in Jizhou, and also captured the Hedong County and Nei County in the Sili region, plus the territory captured by Zhao Yun in Youzhou, the total population in Hu Li's territory reached more than 5.02 million 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 had changed to "The host needs to reopen the Silk Road within three years and promote the power of the Han Dynasty, otherwise it will be wiped out by the system." Click on the Twinkle Reward option, which reads, "Because the host completes the system task ahead of schedule, the host will be rewarded for language proficiency."

Hu Li looked at the system task and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the system finally did not force Hu Li to a dead end, if the system continues to ask Hu Li to expand the territory now, then Hu Li has to choose to start with Yuan Shao Group. But now that Yuan Shaoxin is mourning, although the Yuan brothers have disputes, they have not yet reached the point of a complete break, if Hu Li, a foreign enemy, is attacked, the Yuan brothers with cold lips and teeth will definitely be twisted into a rope again.

This was not a good thing for Hu Li, as it took Cao Cao five years to wipe out the remnants of the Yuan clan after Yuan Shao's death in May 202 AD. It is even more difficult for Hu Li, who is completely deficient compared to Cao Cao, to completely eliminate the Yuan family, and it is impossible for Cao Cao, who is eyeing him from the sidelines, to sit idly by.

When Hu Li rescued Xuzhou in 198 AD, he killed Cao Cao's beloved general Xu Chu, and almost killed Cao Cao, but fortunately, Xiahou Yuan sacrificed his life to save Cao Cao. Rao is like this, Cao Cao and Xiahou Yuan were also seriously injured, and it took nearly half a year to recover.

What made Cao Cao grit his teeth even more was that Hu Li also abducted Lu Bu's old department, the more than 5,000 soldiers were the elite of the rest of the battle, and their combat power could not be underestimated, if it weren't for Hu Li's appearance, the more than 5,000 soldiers would have belonged to Cao Cao. In history, because there was no fierce battle on the bamboo raft behind, the number of Lu Bu's old troops surrendered by Cao Cao exceeded 5,000.

What's even more excessive is that Hu Li also abducted Lu Bu's concubine, the world's first beauty Diao Chan, which made Cao, a very good wife, not beat her chest and hated Hu Li to the core. Among the generals under Lu Bu, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were both coveted by Cao Cao for a long time, although Gao Shun was unlikely to surrender, Zhang Liao still had a good chance. Compared with Gao Shun, who is very good at training soldiers and brave in combat, Zhang Liao, who is both martial arts and wise, brave and can take charge of himself, is more in line with Cao Cao's wishes.

Zhang Liao in history is to descend Cao Cao, in 215 A.D. in the battle of Xiaoyaojin, but also with 7,000 people to break 100,000 troops, almost captured Sun Quan alive, after this battle, Zhang Liao Wei shook Jiangdong, famous, became one of the famous generals respected in the past dynasties, "Zhang Liao stop crying" has also become a folk legend, later generations will be with Le Jin, Yu Ban, Zhang He, Xu Huang and called Cao Wei "five good generals".

Now Zhang Jaw and Zhang Liao in Cao Wei's "Five Good Generals" are both working under Hu Li, Xu Huang died at the hands of Hu Li, and Cao Wei's "Five Good Generals" seem to be out of order. The same tragedy is Liu Bei, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong in Shu Han's "Five Tiger Generals" are destined to have no chance with Liu Bei, and the famous "Five Tiger Generals" will not appear in the future.

Now the situation in the north belongs to the top three, any one side will make a move will affect the whole body, Hu Li's best choice now is to recuperate, rather than to use swords against the other two.

If the task of the system requires Hu Li to continue to expand externally, Hu Li, who has the courage to raise troops, will definitely be attacked by Yuan and Cao, and Hu Li's strong military strength has been exposed to the sight of the world's heroes. Cao Cao, who is good at combining vertical and horizontal, will definitely pull up the Liaodong Gongsun Du, the grassland Wuhuan people, Liangzhou Ma Teng Han Sui and other departments, and then the embattled Hu Li will only have one way to be defeated, and the current good situation will also be ruined.

Therefore, Hu Li was very relieved to see the task of reopening the Silk Road given by the system, although this task seems to be very tricky, but it is better than the inevitable situation of external expansion.

After thinking about it for a while, Hu Li clicked to receive the language proficiency talent rewarded by the system. Through the information transmitted directly to his mind, Hu Li knew the power of the gift of language proficiency.

Language Mastery Talent: The host can learn any new human language as soon as it is exposed to it, and the host can instantly pass on a new language to ten people every day.

The most difficult thing to reopen the Silk Road is the problem of language communication, Hu Li has elite light horses under his hands, but there are no capable people who are proficient in the Chinese languages of the Western Regions. After arriving in the Western Regions, it will inevitably cause a lot of disputes and troubles due to the difficulty of communication, which will greatly hinder Hu Li's mission to reopen the Silk Road.

Now that the biggest language obstacle to Hu Li's trip to the Western Regions has been perfectly solved by the system's rewards, how can this not make Hu Li's confidence greatly increased. In order to test this rebellious talent for language proficiency, Hu Li summoned Huo Wu, who was quite familiar with the grassland Hu Li language among the guards.

Huo Wu's surname is Huo, the fifth in the family, so he got the name of Huo Wu, Huo Wu was originally a Han who was taken captive by the Xianbei people, and was rescued from the grassland by Hu Li, because he had an unforgettable hatred with the Xianbei people, so he chose to join the army. Huo Wu fought bravely and was also very loyal to Hu Li, so he was selected into Hu Li's personal guards, in fact, Hu Li's personal guards are basically people like Huo Wu.

As Han slaves, they were all brutally tortured by the Hu people, the hatred in their hearts was the only motivation to support their survival, Hu Li saved them and also helped them avenge their hatred, for them, Hu Li is their greatest benefactor, therefore, their loyalty is unquestionable.

As for Hu Li's personal guard captain, it was a pillar that was transferred back from the beast camp, which was strongly requested by the pillar himself. According to the pillar's words, he can do without anything, just hope to follow Hu Li's side. Zhu Zi is the grandson of Uncle Zhao who first came to Zhaojia Village to have a meal for Hu Li, Hu Li has been in this world for almost seven years, and Zhu Zi has grown from a ten-year-old child to a seventeen-year-old boy.

The pillar is about 1.8 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a sturdy body, due to the careful teaching of marksmanship and riding skills by Zhao Yun before, coupled with the perseverance and diligence of the pillar in the past seven years, the strength of the pillar is as high as 93 points under the detection of the system, and it can be regarded as a rare fierce general. It stands to reason that with the position of the commander of the beast battalion before the pillar, he should be able to get married and have children at the age of seventeen. But the pillar kept saying that he didn't find a suitable one, in fact, the pillar wanted to focus more on working for Hu Li.
