I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 58

Chapter 58

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining one hundred thousand Meng family troops!"

"Damn!" Meng Chen couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

Although it is good to have an army of [-], it is also a burden for Meng Chen, especially the consumption of food and grass.

Although the troops drawn out by the system were all equipped with weapons and armor, and had been adjusted for the current era, the system only provided food and grass for a month.

In other words, all the food and grass after one month must be borne by Mengchen.

Now, Mengchen has controlled more than half of Liangzhou, but the lack of food production is a flaw.

To change this situation, according to Mengchen's new decree, it will take at least three to five years to completely reverse it.

"Damn it!" The irritable Meng Chen stood up suddenly, cast apologetic gazes at Cai Wenji and Yu'er, and then left quickly.

"Sister Wen Ji, is this your son?"

"I heard from my son that the Xiongnu and Xianbei want to invade the south on a large scale, and my son must be upset about this matter."

The second daughter sighed leisurely, as daughters, they couldn't share any pressure for Meng Chen about this kind of matter.

It is said that women's lives are the most miserable in troubled times, so don't men suffer?

A penny stumps a hero, this sentence is not groundless!

Hastily came to the front hall, Meng Chen asked Meng Shan to notify Meng Yan and Liu Bowen to come to discuss matters.

On Xudu's side, Meng Chen didn't have any hope, after all, the emperor himself was a mud bodhisattva crossing the river.

As long as Cao Cao doesn't make trouble, it will be the greatest help to Meng Chen at this stage.

In less than half a stick of incense, Meng Yan and Liu Bowen arrived one after another.

Suddenly there were 10 more horses, and neither of them asked the specific reason. After all, they were all produced by the system, and everyone knew it well.

"Military division, how do we deal with the extra [-] troops?"

Faced with the question Meng Chen raised, Liu Bowen didn't have a good way to deal with it for a while, and it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

The matter of military rations is really difficult to deal with!

"My lord, worry too much, just use the battle to support the battle." Meng Yan said, making Meng Chen slightly stunned.

Support war with war?It seems that there is still some truth in mentioning it.

But how to implement it really needs to be carefully considered.

"My lord, what General Meng said is very true. Our thoughts have fallen into a dead end. Since the Huns plan to invade the south, we can also march north!"

"North Expedition?"

"Of course!"

After receiving Liu Bowen's firm reply, Meng Chen fell into deep thought.

The seat of Beidi County is Fuping, and further north is the vast desert.

It is not impossible to reach Shuofang County through the desert, but it is impossible for 10 people to cross the desert without water.

"My lord, with the familiarity of the Meng family's army with the terrain of northern Xinjiang, it is not a problem to cross the desert along the water source."

Meng Yan's words made Meng Chen's hair suddenly lighten up.

The Meng family army was originally fighting against foreigners in the northern border. When the Great Qin Dynasty fell, the 30 army did not appear from the beginning to the end.

The secret inside is not allowed to be known by outsiders, but it has nothing to do with Meng Kuo's death!
Just imagine, your generals were killed in vain, what do the soldiers think?
Especially for the 30 Meng family army, it is considered restraint not to send troops south to take revenge.

The 30 army is a force that cannot be underestimated in any dynasty.

With [-] Mengjia troops and more than [-] Great Qin warriors, it is not easy to pass through the desert safely.

In general, such an approach is somewhat of a gamble.

If there is no northern expedition, the food and grass for the [-] troops will be a problem.

In the case of the Northern Expedition, food and grass for the [-] troops is still a problem.

Comparing the two, Beizheng may be a good way out.

"My lord, it is impossible to fight without sacrifices. As long as the lord gives an order, Meng Yan is willing to take Shuofang County for the lord."

Meng Chen glanced at Liu Bowen, and saw him nodded heavily, so he silently deployed one hundred thousand Mengjia troops in his heart.

"Meng Yan listened to the order. Three days later, he will lead [-] Great Qin Ruishi to the north to round up [-] Meng's troops. This governor must strike first."

"promise!"

Looking at the back of Meng Yan's departure, Meng Chen would never have imagined that it was precisely because of his general order that the situation in the northern border of the Han Dynasty was completely changed.

Fufeng, in the prefect's mansion, Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew looked at Jia Xu who was talking endlessly in front of them, and felt a sense of familiarity and strangeness in their hearts.

"Mr. Wenhe, the Hangu Pass is of great importance. Why didn't the Governor of Meng personally send troops to defend it?"

"Young General, Ming people don't speak dark words. The Lord just believes in the two generals, so he sent Xu to deliver the order." Jia Xu took a sip of tea when he said this.

"The importance of Hangu Pass is self-evident. My lord's handing over this pass to the two generals is enough to show his trust in them."

"Why not let Guo Si go to defend?" Zhang Ji asked again.

"To be honest, the Xiongnu and Xianbei are preparing to invade the south on a large scale. My lord has made up his mind to send troops to the north to lead the war to the territory of the Xiongnu, so as to ensure the hard-won harvests in Chang'an and Xiliang."

Jia Xu's words made Zhang Ji fall into deep thought, while Zhang Xiu opened his mouth several times, but didn't know how to say it.

"Major General has something to say, Xu will answer it one by one."

Perhaps seeing Zhang Xiu's thoughts, Jia Xu said something with a smile.

It seems that my lord is right, as long as he is a bloody general, he will take matters like the Northern Expedition seriously.

"uncle……"

"Would you like to follow Meng Shishi to conquer the Huns?"

Zhang Xiu nodded. His title of Northern Spear King was also obtained in the battle of the Qiang people.

Especially the sentence Meng Chen said, "Anyone who commits a strong man will be punished even if he is far away", made the flame in Zhang Xiu's heart ignite.

Since the Guangwu Zhongxing, the strength of the great Han has gradually declined, and the aliens in the northern border have repeatedly invaded the south, and the crimes they committed cannot be described in words.

"Huh!" Zhang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and said to Jia Xu, "I'm ordered by the stabbing, and I will take the order. I hope that you will give me some kind words and take my nephew and his troops to fight against the Xiongnu."

Jia Xu returned a salute with a smile, never expecting Zhang Xiu to be moved by Meng Chen's words.

For many years, no one has mentioned the rhetoric that even if a strong man is far away, he will be punished.

But now, Meng Chen has not only brought it up again, but is also ready to put it into action.

"I also ask the major general to prepare, and leave for Chang'an early tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry, sir, we will leave on time tomorrow!"

Looking at Jia Xu who was leaving, Zhang Ji looked at his nephew again, maybe this is what a great general should do.

"It's nice to be young!" Zhang Ji sighed, and then patted Zhang Xiu on the shoulder.

If it weren't for his advanced age, maybe he would be as enthusiastic as Zhang Xiu.

Confucian culture pays attention to treating people with humility, but the sons of the big man have never lacked blood!
