I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 25
Chapter 25
The duel at the North Gate of Luoyang spread quickly in the city, especially Cheng Yaojin, a fat and simple man, soon became a household name.

"Meng Aiqing, is this the fat general that the people say, the fat general who defeated the riding captain Xu Huang with four axes?"

In the emperor's dormitory, Liu Xie called Meng Chen and Chen Yaojin out of curiosity to see what happened.

Xu Huang's martial arts emperor knows, Meng Chen will not talk about it, in the entire Luoyang City, there are really not many people who can defeat Xu Huang in four moves.

"Hehehe, Your Majesty, I, Old Chen, are just a rough man. Thanks to the good food that the young master gave me, I have this strength."

Chen Yaojin was not stage fright, this sentence immediately made the emperor burst into laughter.

It doesn't matter whether the food served by Meng Chen's family is good or not, the important thing is that this fat man is quite cute.

"Hey, I can't take away the beauty of others. With such generals under Meng Aiqing's command, the pacification of Xiliang is just around the corner."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will set off to return in three days, and Xiliang will be pacified in half a year."

What Meng Chen said was clear and precise, as if Xiliang could really be settled within half a year.

In fact, half a year later, the Son of Heaven will be coerced by Cao Cao to Xudu, and he will not be able to survive or die, so Mengchen will be taken care of!
Saying goodbye to the emperor, Chen Yaojin followed behind Meng Chen, never seeing him so honest.

"Zhijie, if you have something to say, you can fart as soon as you say it. My heart can't stand how cute you are."

"Hey hey, my lord, can you give me some wine, my old Chen hasn't tasted wine for a long time."

"That's it?"

"And leg of lamb!"

"Damn, what else do you want? Beauty?"

"Well, it's better to have something!"

"piss off……"

As soon as Meng Chen's leg was raised, Cheng Yaojin slipped out of the attack range.

Five days later, Meng Chen bid farewell to the emperor, led a team of more than [-] people, escorted [-] denaries of grain and grass, and walked out of Luoyang North Gate in a mighty manner.

Why is it [-] deniers of grain and grass? That is because another batch of grains and grasses arrived in Jingzhou yesterday.

With such a move, Meng Chen was so moved that he burst into tears, held the emperor with his nose and tears, and swore to Liu Xie that he would die even if he went up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire.

It has to be said that Meng Chen's acting skills are very good, even the emperor's eyes are full of tears.

If it wasn't for Dong Cheng's prompt reminder, I really don't know how it would end.

When leaving Luoyang, Meng Chen almost turned his head every ten steps. The feeling of reluctance was enough to express his loyalty to the present day.

"My lord, Luoyang is alright, but it's just floating clouds." Liu Bowen persuaded him from the side, fearing that his lord would fall too deep.

"What the military adviser said is very true. The governor is just worried that His Majesty will go back on his word. If Dong Cheng hadn't insisted on letting me go, I'm afraid I would be the commander of the Habayashi Army at this moment."

"My lord's words are wrong. The emperor let the lord go away because he took a fancy to the lord's potential."

"How?"

"Dive into the sea! The land of Luoyang is completely safe and secure, and the emperor is also unavailable, but the lord is different."

"The lord has no foundation in the court, and this is the fundamental reason why the emperor dares to use the lord."

"Could it be that…"

"My lord's idea is not bad. The emperor needs foreign aid, strong foreign aid, so that he can deter the old officials in the court."

Meng Chen was thoughtful, Liu Bowen analyzed it very thoroughly, but the emperor Liu Xie did this, didn't he not know that the long-distance water could not quench the near-thirst?
"My lord, don't worry, the emperor just miscalculated the loyalty of the Liu family. Since it is diving into the sea, it will definitely turn the world upside down."

Hearing Liu Bowen's words, Meng Chen seemed to wake up a lot.Liu Xie wanted to use Liu Biao's power to restrain the princes, but Liu Biao didn't have the courage.

It is true that Jingzhou is rich and prosperous, but surrounded by powerful enemies, Liu Biao dare not act rashly at all!

"If Ji's expectations are correct, the Son of Heaven intends to use Cao Cao to restrain Yuan Shao, Liu Biao to restrain Yuan Shu, and use the Lord to restrain Li Jue, Ma Teng, and Han Sui."

"Only when the princes reach a balance point can the emperor benefit from it?" Meng Chen naturally continued.

"Yes, not right!" Liu Bowen said something first, and then continued: "The princes are not what they used to be, and the ministers in the court have made a mistake in their wishful thinking."

Meng Chen was a little confused, just now he was talking about the layout of the emperor Liu Xie, how could it be related to the ministers of the court?
"The world is a big game of chess. Everyone wants to be a chess player, but everyone is a chess piece. Only the one who survives to the end is the winner."

"Hearing the words of the military advisor, Chen suddenly felt enlightened. Based on the advice of the military advisor, what should we do?"

"Train troops, accumulate food, and slowly become king!"

After ten days together, Meng Chen and others finally arrived at Hangu Pass, and before that, Li Cunxiao and others had already been waiting here.

"My lord, military advisor, the last general will fulfill his mission!"

As soon as he entered the gate of Hangu Pass, Li Cunxiao appeared and handed over the news he had inquired in the past few days.

Ma Teng and Han Sui raised troops to attack Chang'an, and Li Jue, Guo Si, and Zhang Ji joined forces again.

The two sides fought several battles with each other winning and losing. In the end, Li Jue and others retreated to Chang'an. Relying on Chang'an's solid city defenses, Ma Teng and Han Sui could not advance an inch.

However, what excited Meng Chen the most was not the melee in Chang'an, but the group of bandits captured by Li Cunxiao and others.

"Oh? Use official military armor and weapons?"

"Exactly, not only that, this group of people seems to be only interested in the imperial tomb! When the general met them at the end, he happened to have a lot of funerary objects."

These two sentences immediately alerted Meng Chen!
According to the records of later generations, when Cao Cao was impoverished, in order to feed his army, he specially set up an army to fight chickens and dogs.

This group of people is usually active at night, and there is not much difference between Cao Jun's dress and attire on weekdays.

"Touch Captain Jin?" Meng Chen subconsciously blurted out.

Everyone is still very unfamiliar with such a word. It wasn't until Meng Chen gave a general explanation that they understood the special nature of this army.

"My lord, how do we deal with this group of people?"

Li Cunxiao's question made Meng Chen hesitate, let him use it for himself?Obviously unlikely.

Today, his status cannot be compared with Cao Cao at all.

After a brief period of contemplation, Meng Chen asked Li Cunxiao to release the group of people, and not only that, but also returned all their armor, weapons, and confiscated artifacts.

Meng Chen felt that it was necessary to show his kindness to Cao Cao, at least at this stage he should not create too many enemies.

What's more, Cao Cao also didn't want to make too many enemies.

At least before the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao needs to develop with peace of mind.

Since ancient times, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. There is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests!
