Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 438 Arriving at Mount Li
In history, Zhong Yao once guarded the city of Chang'an. Not only did he resist the invasion of Ma Chao, Gao Gan and others, but he also took care of the Hu people in the north. If he was given a strong lieutenant general, he might be able to take the initiative to attack , and the surrounding areas of Chang'an are also managed in an orderly manner.

But Duan Yan is a new recruit, and his premature transfer from Chang'an is likely to make him feel dissatisfied, so Liu Yu must find a compromise.

"By the way, General Zhongming seems to be from the same hometown as Zhang Ji. Do you recognize his lieutenant general Hu Che'er?"

"Regent, the man I know, Hu Che'er is extremely brave and is General Zhang Ji's right-hand man. When we were both officials in Chang'an City, the last general and Hu Che'er often drank together."

"Hehe, since we are old acquaintances, let Hu Che'er come here to assist Zhongming in defending the city. After all, Chang'an is the west gate of the imperial court. Zhongming is good at governing, and Hu Che'er is good at charging. They are a perfect match."

"The last will obey."

Duan Yan didn't dare to guess what Liu Yu meant, so he could only accept it happily.

Liu Yu, on the other hand, thought that Duan Yanxin's emotions would stabilize after he was surrendered, so he arranged for him and Zhang Ji to station in Hedong County together.

Hedong County is adjacent to Xihe County in Bingzhou in the north, and Chang'an City is in the southwest. It is necessary to strengthen the defense there.

…………

Chang'an used to be the capital of the Western Han Dynasty. Although the buildings here are a bit old, the city's scale is still considerable. Dong Zhuo, the soul of the Xiliang Army, has died, but his younger brothers Dong Min and Dong Yue are still watching tigers and wanting to go east.

When Liu Yu met Duan Yan that day, Dong Min and Dong Yue turned into Hu merchants and went around the city of Chang'an to investigate intelligence.

"Third brother, the fortifications of Chang'an City are not simple. I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed by force."

After the last internal strife, Dong Yue was completely defeated by Dong Min, but Dong Min thought of his family's feelings and did not kill him. Dong Yue was grateful to him and swore allegiance in front of the entire Xiliang army.

After the two reconciled, the first thing they did was to come to Chang'an to check the information and make preparations for another eastward advance.

"Your brother is right."

Dong Min sighed softly, he wanted to avenge his elder brother Dong Zhuo, but he was stumped by Chang'an City, let alone Luoyang.

At this time, Dong Yue seemed to have seen through his mind, and whispered quietly.

"I have a plan. Why don't we give some benefits to the Qiang people to attack Chang'an for us? Naturally, it would be good to take it down. Even if we can't take it down, it will be much easier for us to attack again."

As soon as Dong Min heard that this plan was very clever, he immediately thought that he was still investigating here, and hurried back to Xiliang to find Qianna and Ke Hui, two Qiang tribe leaders, to discuss the matter of joining forces.

…………

Liu Yu and his party left Chang'an City, walked west for dozens of miles, and entered the Qinling Mountains.

Orange in the south and trifoliate in the north, the Qinling Mountains, which stretch for hundreds of miles, not only block the cold and sandstorms in the north, but also make the north and south, which are only separated by a mountain, have completely different landforms.

At this moment, Liu Yu and the others were walking on the winding and rugged mountain road.

After walking for about half an hour, I saw two figures appearing on the side of the road.

One is tall and thin, the other is short and fat, they are two of Nanhua's apprentices, Yu Shouzi and Zuo Mazi.

The two had faces full of wind and sand, and they held two dilapidated shovels in their dark and dry hands.

Didn’t it mean that Mengxin and Nanhua found two different places according to the map, and Nanhua knew that there must be something wrong, so they decided to ask Liu Yu for help, but the two were reluctant to give up on the place they finally found. So let Yu Shouzi and Zuo Mazi continue to dig and search for the entrance of the underground palace at those two locations.

The two dug for a few days but found nothing. They ate up all the food on their bodies. They were about to leave the deep mountain when they met Nan Hua on the way.

"Have you ever found the entrance?"

Nan Hua asked expectantly, but what he got was the disappointed expressions of the two apprentices.

"It's okay, we have invited the Prince Regent, I believe we will be able to find the exact location!"

Under Nan Hua's introduction, Yu Ji and Zuo Ci went up to meet each other.

For these two people, fans of the Three Kingdoms in the later generations would all call them immortals or monsters, but the current appearance really made it impossible for Liu Yu to regard them as cultivators.

But it is not difficult to understand, after all, there are many mistakes recorded in historical biographies, not to mention those unofficial historical materials.

Moreover, Nanhua, the master of these two people, was a magician himself. He was extremely obsessed with the elixir of life in the Qinhuang's underground palace, so how could it be possible to teach a true ascetic.

…………

"Ding, follow this direction for another 150 steps and turn left."

"Ding, turn left."

"Ding, turn over the hill and continue to turn left."

Under the instruction of the map of the whole system, Liu Yu took the lead, and soon led everyone halfway.

Meng Xin and Nan Hua took a map for comparison, and both found that the path Liu Yu led them to should be correct.

"Wang Yue, go to the assembly point and bring our people and supplies. I will leave road signs for you along the way."

Mengxin gave the order while carving a mark on the tree.

"Don't worry, benefactor, Wang Yue will definitely make no mistakes."

Wang Yue was basically silent along the way. At first Liu Yu thought he had been imprisoned in Niujia Village and had autism.

Now that Wang Yue, who bears the title of emperor teacher, is so obedient to his savior, his opinion of him has changed a lot.

After walking for another two hours, Liu Yu and the others entered a valley.

"The sky is round, surrounded by mountains and rivers, where the wind gathers energy, the mountains and rivers are connected, and the luck is endless. It is really an excellent geomantic treasure!"

Without turning on the system, but using geomancy techniques, Liu Yu saw that there might really be an underground palace here.

As soon as Meng Xin and Nan Hua heard about the geomantic treasure land, they immediately checked the map in their hands, and they both exclaimed happily after checking.

"Found it, finally found it!"

After walking for more than three hours in the deep mountains of the Qinling Mountains, almost no one could find this place without any coordinates.

Coupled with the map shown, the two couldn't help but believe that this valley was the location of Qinhuang's underground palace.

"It has long been heard that the regent is very good at the Fenjin Duan acupoint. Please also inform the entrance of the underground palace."

Seeing that the elixir of life was at the bottom, Nan Hua got carried away with excitement.

Liu Yu glared at him angrily, "I'm only responsible for taking you to the place and finding the tomb by myself."

After talking about this, Liu Yu didn't care about them, but followed the system's instructions to the place required by the mission.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for reaching the treasure location, do you want to open the treasure chest?"

The task of this system is to ask Liu Yu to arrive at the location to open the treasure box, and then he can empower the five elements attribute for a specific task.

And the treasure chest is also virtualized by the system, so others will definitely not be able to see it.

So Liu Yu sneaked into the system with his consciousness and pressed the button to open the treasure chest.

About three seconds later, a golden treasure chest in the system space slowly opened.
