I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 103
Chapter 103
For Meng Chen, Li Ru's vote is definitely good news. Even if he is unwilling to participate in the melee of the Central Plains princes, it can help Meng Chen keep an eye on the Western Regions.

Gao Xianzhi, as a general drawn by the system, needless to say his loyalty, if he is assisted by a counselor like Li Ru, the Western Regions will be completely at ease.

Although Li Ru was named a military advisor, that was only relative to the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

As the only military advisor beside Mengchen, Liu Bowen naturally wanted to explain to Li Ru.

This is also the rule that Meng Chen established long ago in order to demonstrate the power in Liu Bowen's hands!
After seeing off the three of them, Meng Chen dragged his tired body back to the backyard. After this year's battle, Meng Chen's stay in this house was very short.

"My lord has lost weight again!" Yu'er sighed while helping Meng Chen remove his armor.

"My son is fighting everywhere, and he is clearly strong, unlike someone who seems...seems...again..."

Meng Chen didn't finish his words, and when he noticed Yu'er's resentful eyes, he hurriedly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

"Son, the hot water is ready."

When Cai Wenji's voice came, Meng Chen seized the opportunity to escape, and before leaving, he pinched Yu'er's waist.

"Well, it's really bloated." After muttering something, Meng Chen laughed and left.

Yu'er was blushing, wanting to be angry and laughing at the same time, he hesitated before remembering the agreement with Cai Wenji, hurriedly dropped the armor in her hand, and followed Meng Chen's figure.

The next day, it was rare for Meng Chen not to get up early to practice the halberd. Looking at the second daughter in his arms, an unknown fire arose in his heart...

With the arrival of winter, the streets of Chang'an appear deserted. Except for groups of patrolling soldiers, few people choose to go out in heavy snow.

A carriage creaked against the snow, adding a touch of vitality to the streets of Chang'an.

In front of Xiliang Governor's Mansion, the carriage stopped, Meng Chen jumped out of the carriage first, first he reached out to help Cai Yan down, and then Yu'er.

The end of the year is approaching, although it is snowing heavily today, Meng Chen has never missed the matter of worshiping Cai Yong.

"My lord, the Bingzhou envoy is asking to see you." Chen Yaojin, who had been waiting at the door, stepped forward to report quickly.

"Oh?" Meng Chen made a difference, and then cast an apologetic look at the two girls.

After all calculations, Meng Chen never thought that Lu Bu would send envoys to Chang'an so soon.

"Who is the messenger?"

"Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan."

"Is the military division here?"

"Already waiting in the lobby."

After entering the gate of the mansion, Meng Chen quickly walked towards the meeting hall.

Lu Bu was able to send Zhang Liao to Chang'an, which meant that he had noticed Yuan Shao's actions.

As soon as he stepped into the conference hall, Zhang Liao got up to salute, but Meng Chen hurriedly stopped him.

"Wen Yuan doesn't need to be too polite, they are all his brothers."

After Meng Chen was seated, Zhang Liao said, "The Marquis Wen sent the last general here for the war after the beginning of spring. I just heard Mr. Liu's analysis, and Wen Yuan's purpose of this trip has been achieved."

"Hahaha, when this matter was in Hanzhong, Chen had already discussed it with the military adviser. Brother Feng Xian is in trouble, Chen will definitely send troops to help."

"Thank you Mengshi!"

Everyone exchanged some more, and Meng Chen arranged a dinner, but Zhang Liao's eyes were only slightly surprised by Li Ru's appearance.

However, today's dinner is destined to become the most memorable one in Zhang Liao's life.

Not for other reasons, but because after subduing Li Ru, Meng Chen opened a big gift package rewarded by the system.

"Ding, congratulations to the array for getting the big gift package of seasoning seeds!" It was this loli voice that made Mengchen regain the feeling of eating barbecue at a roadside stall in later generations.

What kind of pepper, Chinese prickly ash, grass fruit, big incense... Especially the appearance of cumin made Mengchen ecstatic.

The number of seeds is not much, but Mengchen still saves some cumin seeds and processes them.

Growing these things is still a work in progress, but right now it's nice to be able to sprinkle a little cumin powder on the barbecue!
Everyone who ate this dinner had endless aftertaste, especially Chen Yaojin, who licked all the plates used to hold the barbecue...

Another spring came, and the entire Xiliang and Sanfu areas fell into a busy scene, but Meng Chen knew in his heart that it was not easy to protect this scene.

"My lord, there is news from Yebu that Yuan Shao has already started to assemble his army." Just as Meng Chen was discussing government affairs with Liu Bowen, Jia Xu's hurried figure appeared.

"Is there any news about Xianbei?" Meng Chen asked casually.

Jia Xu shook his head. It stands to reason that since Yuan Shao persuaded Xianbei to send troops, it should be Xianbei who was most active.

"Where are the Wuhuan people?"

"Ta Dun assembled [-] Wuhuan Tuqi, but Gongsun Zan will never let the Wuhuan army pass easily. On the contrary, the recent whereabouts of the Black Mountain Army are quite suspicious."

After finishing speaking, Jia Xu handed over the information from Yebushou.

In addition to the news from Yuan Shao, there are also the movements of Xudu, Jingzhou, Yizhou and other princes.

After reading Jia Xu's summary, Meng Chen heaved a long sigh. He originally thought that the territory of the Han Dynasty would be peaceful for a while, but now it seems that the flames of war will reignite everywhere.

"Jingzhou and Jiangdong will meet each other soon, and even Liu Bei from Xuzhou is planning to send troops to Yangzhou. Fortunately, Liu Zhang doesn't have much to do, otherwise we will face a two-front battle."

After a pause, Meng Chen said again: "Military Master, do you have any news from Cao Cao?"

"Not yet, but Ji believes that once the lord and Lu Bu gain an advantage on the northern front, Cao Cao will definitely take the opportunity to send troops to Qingzhou!"

Meng Chen nodded, there is a reason why Cao Cao doesn't want to offend Yuan Shao now.

In terms of overall strength, the Cao and Yuan families are far apart. In addition, Cao Cao attacked and destroyed Yuan Shu, so it is impossible for Yuan Shao not to hold grudges.

However, before the Cao and Yuan families officially started fighting, Yuan Shao had two people to deal with, one was Lu Bu in Bingzhou, and the other was Gongsun Zan who was hiding in western Liaoning.

"Liaoxi is too far away to contact, but Gongsun Zan is also a grasshopper after autumn, it doesn't matter if he is there or not." Meng Chen lowered his head in thought.

Judging from the current news, if the Xianbei people did not act, it must be that Ke Bineng and Bu Dugen did not reach a unified opinion.

And if Ta Dun wanted to send troops to help, he had to look at Gongsun Zan's face.

Although Gongsun Zan's strength has been greatly reduced and the gap between him and Yuan Shao is widening, he still has certain advantages in front of the Wuhuan people.

In general, after Yuan Shao got the Yidai Zhao, he was a little over excited.

Regardless of Gongsun Zan or Lu Bu, as long as one person still exists, there will be no large-scale conflict between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

As for why Yuan Shao attacked Lu Bu, Meng Chen didn't know, maybe it was because of the struggle for power and profit by the group of counselors in Jizhou.

Before the end of the spring plowing, Meng Chen led the [-] Qiang cavalry that had been recruited and headed towards Meiji.

There, Jianghui had already prepared [-] Hun cavalry to attack Yanmen Pass!
