[Newcomers, New Books, Clicks, Recommendations, Collections] The pillar is also very glad that he is alone now, because Hu Li just ordered to select elite cavalry in the army to follow Hu Li to the Western Regions, and the first condition is not to have a family. Because the trip to the Western Regions may last for three years, and the journey is long and dangerous, Hu Li does not want to leave orphans and widows after the death of his subordinates because of his trip to the Western Regions.
After Huo Wu arrived, Hu Li asked Huo Wu to briefly speak the languages of several grassland peoples he knew, and Hu Li suddenly discovered the rebellious nature of language proficiency rewarded by the system. Huo Wu only said one sentence, and Hu Li immediately learned this language in his mind, not only did he speak fluently in this language, but he also had no problem writing this language, which was equivalent to this language becoming Hu Li's mother tongue.
Huo Wu's other languages later were the same as before, and in just a cup of tea, Hu Li became proficient in the languages of several grassland peoples that Huo Wu knew, and he was more proficient and proficient than Huo Wu. Looking at Huo Wu's unbelievable appearance, Hu Li felt very comfortable in his heart, and Hu Li, who was in a good mood, was playful and gave Huo Wu a name, called Huo An.
Hu Li, who is now a general of the Che Cavalry, Jizhou Mu, and Yehou, was personally given the name, Huo Wu, now it's time to call Huo An, Huo An was immediately grateful, and bowed down to thank him.
Huo An will definitely not know that Hu Li just remembered a movie he watched in the 21st century, this movie and Hu Li's trip to the Western Regions are very appropriate, and the actor is called Huo An. It just so happened that Huo Wu was also surnamed Huo, so Hu Li blurted out and gave Huo An's name to Huo Wu.
Due to the urgency of time, Hu Li did not wait until the end of the New Year to go to the Western Regions, although it is now a cold winter is not conducive to marching, but Hu Li selected three hundred cavalry are elite, plus one person and three horses, with enough dry food and warm clothes, for the sake of his own life, Hu Li had to fight.
As for pets, five golden eagles and four owls are mandatory, three large brown bears are left unattended, and three elephants are stored in the pet space, carrying a large number of skins filled with fresh water. After all, there are deserts in the Western Regions, and food may be easy to find, but water sources may not be easy to find.
The day earlier he set out, Hu Li had more time to reopen the Silk Road, so Hu Li simply explained to his family that he had to go to the Western Regions, and then entrusted the political affairs to Tian Feng and Chen Gong, and the military affairs to Jia Xu. Although Hu Li may have been there for three years, Hu Li is not worried at all that something will happen in the government.
Because the commanders of the army under Hu Li's rule are basically Hu Li's cronies, and the low-level officers of each army are basically veterans who have followed Hu Li for several years, and the few people entrusted by Hu Li to important positions are all loyal people, so Hu Li has nothing to worry about in government and military affairs.
It's just that Hu Li's family is a little worried about Hu Li's safety, and they are a little reluctant to let Hu Li go, but they also know that Hu Li can't be idle now, maybe only when Hu Li ascends to the highest position, can they enjoy the joy of family with them with peace of mind. Fortunately, they are also accustomed to Hu Li's running around, and every time Hu Li goes out, it is a year and a half, although this time it may be three years apart, but because Hu Li's sowing efficiency is very high, every woman in Hu Li has a child, and with the company of children, they will not stay alone in the empty house.
After explaining everything, Hu Li and the three hundred cavalry went on the road, Zhu Zi and Huo An were in the ranks, these three hundred cavalry were basically selected from Hu Li's personal soldiers, even if they were not before, now they have become Hu Li's personal soldiers. The pillar is the commander of these three hundred cavalry, and Huo An has become the deputy commander of these three hundred cavalry, and the loyalty and combat effectiveness of these three hundred cavalry are beyond doubt.
Hu Li and his entourage started from Zhending City, Changshan Guo, Jizhou, passed through Yanmen County, Xihe County, and Shang County in Bingzhou, and arrived at Beidi County in Liangzhou before the Chinese New Year. In fact, Hu Li's original intention was to enter Shuofang County from Xihe County, then enter the grassland from Shuofang County, and then enter the subject country of Zhangye Juyan in Liangzhou, and then to Dunhuang County.
These places are all desolate places, basically you will not encounter the army of the brigade, but the north of the Great Wall is too cold, in this cold winter march, Hu Li felt that he was a little unbearable, so he retreated from the county of Bingzhou to the north of Liangzhou, I believe that with the vision of the golden eagle, it should still be able to avoid the few brigades of troops in time.
After driving such a long way in one go, Hu Li and the others decided to rest for a few days, and after finding a sheltered place in Shegu Mountain and setting up camp, Hu Li took two hundred cavalry to the surrounding area to hunt some prey. Because the trip to the Western Regions was too far away, and it had to take three years, Hu Li and the others basically did not use the materials they carried on the way, and they generally looked for prey and water sources in the surrounding areas.
Hu Li's archery has been instructed by Huang Zhong, not to mention a hundred steps through Yang, but within eighty steps, he can also point where to fight, and it is still very easy to hunt. Due to the heavy snowfall before and the cold weather, Hu Li and the others walked to the depths of Shegu Mountain in order to hunt more prey.
With the vision of the golden eagle in the sky, Hu Li was not afraid of being separated from the team or getting lost, only hunted a few hares that could not run, Hu Li was a little depressed, so he simply left the army, handed over the mount to the pillar, and picked a small path that was inaccessible and walked to the depths of Shegu Mountain.
After Hu Li walked for more than half an hour, he gradually encountered more prey, and an hour later, Hu Li, who was overjoyed by the harvest, hummed a little song and prepared to return and join the large army.
When Hu Li passed a hillside, he suddenly noticed through the vision of the golden eagle that a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old was rushing down the slope on a sled, and the girl was playing happily, and from time to time she laughed like a silver bell. Hu Li was also infected by the girl's emotions, and also had the urge to ski down the slope.
However, Le Ji is always sad, I don't know if the movement caused by the girl is too big, or if the friction between the snow layer accumulated on this hillside and the ground has become smaller, and it can't stop the snow from sliding. Through the vision of the golden eagle, Hu Li found that the snow not far behind the girl began to slide gradually, and the speed of the decline became faster and faster, "avalanche", Hu Li suddenly remembered this terrible word.
