I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 23 Departure to the North
Chapter 23 Departure to the North
Liu Bowen's overall plan is still a huge cake for Mengchen, and Mengchen needs to wait patiently for where the first bite will come from.

It stands to reason that Meng Chen should have left after being awarded the title of Inspector of Xiliang, but it is a pity that the emperor has no money or food, let alone the army.

Go to office empty-handed?It's not that Meng Chen has never thought about it, only children who can cry can have milk, Meng Chen also knows this truth.

The emperor has sent people to Jingzhou, and I believe that supplies from Jingzhou will arrive in a steady stream in the near future.

Since ancient times, the emperor never sent hungry soldiers, and the army would disperse if there was no food. Meng Chen wanted to serve the emperor, so naturally he would not go to the post empty-handed.

Wait, more than a month has passed like this!

In Luoyang in October, the weather has become cold, and the emperor's palace has been basically restored, but it is only a temporary shelter.

Knowing the return of the emperor, more and more refugees began to gather in Luoyang, which undoubtedly made the situation worse for the emperor who had nothing.

"Dear dear ones, more and more refugees are gathering, and Jingzhou's food and grass are delayed, what should I do?"

Liu Xie sat on the dragon chair, his face turned yellow.Although the past few months have been difficult, Liu Xie feels that he is much more comfortable than in Chang'an.

Looking at the porridge in front of him, Liu Xie let out a long sigh!The emperor is still like this, let alone the common people?
If it weren't for Meng Chen's occasional delivery of wild game, Liu Xie, the majestic emperor, might not know the taste of meat in March.

"Your Majesty, there is not much food and grass left in the city, and I may not be able to take care of the refugees."

Dong Cheng persuaded earnestly that even the emperor would eat gruel, if he was taking care of the refugees, Luoyang would run out of food in minutes.

"The reason why the people gather is because I'm back. If I ignore it, how can I see the people in the world?"

Liu Xie's words were loud and loud, and all the courtiers who asked the question lowered their heads and remained silent.The Han Dynasty has come to the point where it is today, and it is already in the state of dying.

"Report! Your Majesty...grain...Jingzhou's grain...has arrived..."

The scout was out of breath, although Liu Xie had already stood up even though he hadn't finished speaking.

"Hurry up, let Meng Chen lead his troops to escort the food and grass into the palace!"

When the edict was issued, the palace was filled with chaos, and Meng Chen led 36 cavalry to gallop away as soon as he got the edict.

There is never too much grain and grass, and what's more, Mengcheng is waiting for the arrival of this batch of grain and grass.

I have to say that Liu Biao, the emperor's uncle, was really kind to Liu Xie. In addition to a large amount of food and grass, he also sent a lot of military supplies, but there were no soldiers.

Arranging one's own army next to the emperor is considered a taboo. According to Liu Biao's prudent style of conduct, he will definitely not give others an excuse to attack him.

"Your Majesty, you will receive [-] deniers of grain and more than [-] sets of various military supplies."

Originally, Meng Chen wanted to take advantage of the convenience of receiving and withhold a little for himself, but was stopped by Liu Bowen.

The reason why the emperor sent Meng Chen to take over, on the one hand, he trusted Meng Chen, and on the other hand, he wanted to test Meng Chen.

Because of some petty profits, the greater interests are damaged, Meng Chen can't afford it!
"Thank you for your hard work, dear, with these food, grass and military resources, I can appease the refugees and form my own army."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Thousands of wears and thousands of wears, only flattery does not wear, no matter at any time, this theorem is constant.

With food in hand and no panic in his heart, Liu Xie laughed heartily for the first time since arriving in Luoyang.

There is no unparalleled road in the sky, and the Liu clan is like this, so what can the other princes do?

After laughing wildly for a while, Liu Xie's face suddenly changed: "Xiliang Inspector Mengchen listened to the announcement, I will allocate [-] denaries of food and grass, and [-] sets of various military funds, and I will pacify Xiliang!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was a little dazed. Since Liu Xie succeeded to the throne, this was the first time that he had shown the majesty of the emperor in front of outsiders.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Where your Majesty's sword is pointing, where your soldiers are going, I am willing to help His Majesty pacify Xiliang."

Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Chen stated that this kind of superficial effort must be done well.

As long as the emperor is happy, why worry about no way out?

Back at his own station, Meng Chen's back was already drenched with sweat, looking at Liu Bowen who was coming towards him, he smiled helplessly.

"Sir, all the calculations are accurate. The emperor hates the Xiliang army."

"When does my lord intend to leave?"

"We must rush back to Linjing County as soon as possible."

With [-] denaries of food and grass, and [-] sets of various military supplies, Meng Chen's first order was to recruit civilian husbands from among the refugees.

It is not an easy task to transport [-] deniers of grain and grass back to Linjing County.

It's not that Meng Chen didn't think about recruiting soldiers, but he finally held back.

As far as the current situation is concerned, I have [-] Beiwei troops in my hands to deploy, and it is better to do less things like grabbing heads with the emperor.

"Ding, the mission is updated, Xiliang will be pacified within half a year."

At the critical moment, the loli voice came from his mind, and Meng Chen slapped his forehead suddenly.

Half a year?It will take nearly a month to return to Linjing County from Luoyang.

What's more, the [-] troops under Ma Teng and Han Sui are not just a display!
"My lord, you should immediately send someone to find out about Chang'an." Liu Bowen reminded.

Right now, Ma Teng and Han Sui are leading an army of [-] to attack Chang'an, and no one knows how the battle is going.

Meng Chen returned to Xiliang this time, if he didn't plan the route well, it would be no different from sending him to death.

Meng Chen nodded: "Sir, what you said is reasonable. The art of war goes ahead before food and grass are moved, but intelligence collection is just as important."

"Brother Cunxiao, this matter is up to you, we will meet up at Hangu Pass in half a month!"

"My lord, don't worry, the general will take people away."

In the end, Li Cunxiao left with ten people overnight, leaving 26 people as Meng Chen's guards.

"My lord, if you still have hole cards, please use them as soon as possible, time waits for no one."

When Liu Bowen's voice came, Meng Chen almost thought that Liu Bowen knew about Wuqian's betrayal of Wei's army.

But when he thought about it carefully, he didn't recruit soldiers, which was precisely the biggest loophole.

"System, deploy Cheng Yaojin, deploy five thousand Beiwei troops."

After silently reading the first sentence in his heart, Meng Chen continued silently: "Order Chen Yaojin to lead five hundred Beiwei troops to Luoyang to listen to the order, and the rest of the troops will lurk in Mang Mountain."

"Ding, Chen Yaojin's deployment is complete!"

"Ding, the deployment of the five thousand Beiwei army is complete!"

"Ding, Chen Yaojin and the five hundred Beiwei troops will arrive in Luoyang in two days."

Although the system is impersonal, the efficiency is still high.

With Chen Yaojin and Wubaiweijun, Meng Chen felt a little more at ease.

Although the dilapidated Luoyang is calm on the surface, there is actually an undercurrent surging in the dark.

Especially Dong Cheng and Yang Feng, now there is a trend of incompatibility.

After arranging everything, Meng Chen smiled at Liu Bowen, and concealed some things, it was a matter of necessity, after all, the system must not be known by the second person.

"Military division, we will leave for the north in five days."
