Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 56 Completing System Tasks
Liu Yu helped Li Jue a lot this time when Kangjiazhuang was fighting against him, and Li Jue decided to send Xu Huang to lead troops to escort Liu Yu and his party to Luoyang.

When sending Liu Yu and his party out of Kangjiazhuang, Li Jue also said something about Luoyang City and the Xiliang Army in earnest.

Li Jue said that Grand Master Dong Zhuo had a good impression of Liu Yu, and with his successive meritorious service, he estimated that he would be promoted again when he arrived in Luoyang. He also said that Dong Zhuo intended to train him to take over Fan Silk's army.

But he also reminded him to be careful of the jealousy of other generals.

Li Jue said that when Dong Zhuo talked about the ownership of Fan Siu's old department, many Xiliang generals proposed to take charge of it on his behalf.

Dong Zhuo was afraid that it would cause unnecessary disputes, so he didn't order Liu Yu to take over. Instead, he accepted his proposal to have Fan Silk's subordinate, Jia Xu, temporarily act as the commander of Hulaoguan.

Hearing this, Liu Yu was a little surprised. If he had known that Dong Zhuo had such kindness, he would not be so anxious to return to Luoyang. At least he would leave after planting potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Sure enough, Li Jue also said that choosing to return to Luoyang at this time is not a good thing, because Luoyang is short of food, and will be subject to various constraints when he arrives in the city.

In fact, this time Li Jue also used the excuse of chasing Sun Jian's remnant soldiers to lead his troops out of Luoyang City, otherwise his men would definitely have to starve in Luoyang City.

Speaking of this, Li Jue once again thanked Liu Yu for helping him find the entrance to the underground palace. With these jewels, his troops would no longer have to worry about food and grass.

Taking advantage of the hot relationship, Liu Yu proposed to become an ally with him, so that there would be mutual support in the Xiliang army in the future, and Li Jue agreed on the spot without thinking.

From Li Jue's performance, it is not difficult to find that he is really trying his best to make friends with Liu Yu, which also reflects Dong Zhuo's attitude towards Liu Yu from the side.

And Li Jue kept saying thank you, it seems that Luoyang City has really reached a situation where it can't be solved.

……

Li Jue had been sent to the end of Kangjiazhuang Village before returning. At this time, Liu Yu finally had the opportunity to chat with Xu Huang.

"I didn't expect General Xu and Qi Ling to be old acquaintances!"

Xu Huang has always been full of respect for Liu Yu, and when he heard Liu Yu's question, he quickly answered with his fists clasped.

"Back to King Zhongshan, we met when we were in Yanshi County last year."

At this time Zhang Da also leaned over and explained that Li Jue and Fan Silk had a joint fight in Yanshi last autumn, and he was in charge of leading people down to the underground palace while Xu Huang was in charge of safety on the ground.

Wen Yan Liu Yu nodded first, then shook his head and said it was a pity.

"General Xu is strict in running the army. It seems that he is a good general to command thousands of troops, but now he is only in charge of inverting. Such a small fact is a shame."

Xu Huang sighed in shame. He thought that he had some abilities but had always been underappreciated. The last thing he wanted to mention to others was the military affairs he was in charge of in the army, because he also felt that it was too inferior to fight back.

"Why don't General Xu come under my command? I promise you can realize your ambition!"

Liu Yu's solicitation made Xu Huang a little happy, but he had received Yang Feng's kindness, and Yang Feng was now working under Li Jue, so he couldn't just leave.

"Thank you King Zhongshan for your kindness. I really want to follow you, but..."

Before Xu Huang finished speaking, Liu Yu interrupted him with a smile.

"General Xu is indeed a loyal and brave man. The question just now was too abrupt. I'm sorry."

The ancients valued loyalty very much. At this time, Xu Huang's friendliness had not yet reached the level where he could be recruited, so Liu Yu did not want to destroy Xu Huang's good impression of him.

After walking for a while, they suddenly overtook a group of people from behind them.

This team of about a hundred people rode very fast, and the leader was a brawny man. He and Liu Yu only looked at each other and showed strong resentment.

This discovery immediately aroused Liu Yu's curiosity, thinking that I have never seen this group of people, why are they full of hostility towards me?

Liu Yu glanced and found that they were carrying shovels, ropes and short ladders in addition to weapons.

They are not like the cavalry in the army, but they are dressed like Li Jue's men who fought against each other.

Just when he was puzzled, Xu Huang leaned over and explained: "These people belong to Xu Rong's Daedou team, and they have been wandering around Kangjiazhuang for many days."

Xu Rong is one of the Four King Kong under Dong Zhuo's command. He has excellent force and command. Even the mighty general Hua Xiong was once his subordinate.

Needless to say, Xu Rong must have coveted the underground palace under Kangjiazhuang for a long time, and these people were sent here to find other entrances to enter the underground palace.

It's a pity that they were still a step late. With Liu Yu's help, Li Jue had already returned with a full load.

It's just that in this way, does it count as indirectly offending Xu Rongna?

I remember that Li Jue once said that Xu Rong is now serving as the captain of the city gate. The captain of the city gate is not a big officer but has the important task of guarding Luoyang's city defense. All people who enter and leave Luoyang must be inspected by him.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu called Liu Bei to him.

"A few tens of miles westward from here is Luoyang City. Xuande quickly took ten people to go ahead and go to the gate of the city to make a pass."

"My lord, don't worry, I'll do it now!"

Liu Bei has a very high mind and is the most understanding of the world. Sending him to clear up the relationship first can save some unnecessary troubles.

Liu Bei led his people on a fast horse first, and everyone continued to advance slowly on the official road.

At this time, I heard Zhang Da and Xu Huang talking about going to the underground palace last night.

When Zhang Da mentioned that the underground palace under Kangjiazhuang was the tomb of a certain general in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Liu Yu couldn't help but think of it, which reminded him of the system task he had received before.

The task is to find a piece of ancient jade with a history of 500 years in order to empower Jia Xu with the attributes of the five elements.

The Eastern Zhou Dynasty is at least 600 years away from this time, so the objects in the underground palace are more than 500 years old.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu quickly held the tiger-shaped jade pendant in his hand, and then submerged his consciousness into the system.

After entering the system, I found Jia Xu's attribute panel directly, and there was a striking empowerment prompt behind the five element attribute.

A character with a mind skill value of 95 can add the five elements attribute to the character by paying the five elements coin or completing the empowerment task.

Jia Xu's mind skill value reached 95, but I don't know if this tiger-shaped jade pendant has a history of 500 years?
"The system submits a task for me!"

As you wish, the tiger-shaped jade pendant held by Liu Yu is instantly transferred into the system.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the character empowerment task."

Liu Yu was overjoyed when he heard the crisp notification sound. He originally wanted to go to the palace to find ancient jade, but he did not expect to complete the system task without a doubt. It seems that this geomancy technique still has a certain effect.

Now that the task is completed, let's start empowering Jia Xu with the five elements. When Liu Yu clicked the empower button, the system gave a reminder again.

"Ding, the system will randomly empower the character with the Five Elements attribute, or the host can also choose to pay 500 Five Elements coins to specify a Five Elements attribute."

"You can also specify the attributes of the five elements, which is great!"

Liu Yu was overjoyed by this discovery, because five attributes must be collected to charge the system, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu recruited before have some overlapping fire attributes.

So Liu Yu didn't want to get another general with repeated five-element attributes, so he paid 500 five-element coins without hesitation to specify attribute empowerment.

"Ding, the payment is complete, please choose a five-element attribute from the host."

What to choose!
Liu Bei has the dual attributes of gold and fire, so to empower Jia Xu, he must choose one of water, wood, and earth.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Yu finally decided to empower Jia Xu with the earth attribute.

"Ding, the empowerment is complete, and Jia Xu has acquired the attribute of the five elements, earth."

Immediately afterwards, the system gave a reminder to complete the charging of the soil attribute.

I saw that the soil in the five-element pattern on the main interface of the system was instantly activated.

At this time, the three five-element patterns of metal, fire, and earth are all lit up, indicating that these three attributes have completed charging, and the remaining two attribute patterns of water and wood are still gray.

As long as you recruit generals with water attributes and wood attributes, you can complete the system charging, and the system can be upgraded with enough energy.
