Chapter 88 Planning for Hanzhong
Chapter 88 Planning for Hanzhong
In Chang'an City, it has been more than two months since the angel arrived here, and there has been no news of Meng Chen.

Since Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, the emperor issued an imperial edict, asking the princes of the world to punish Yuan Shu, a traitor and traitor.

Meng Chen, as the governor of Xiliang, is naturally the trump card in the hands of the emperor.

It's a pity that Mengchen didn't return from his westward expedition, and he rarely even sent back news, which made Angel feel helpless.

If you just return to court empty-handed, the consequences can be imagined.

Two months had passed, Fu Wan, who was an angel, began to feel anxious. If Meng Chen didn't return, it would be difficult for her as an angel to explain.

"Master Liu, is there any news today?"

Fu Wan, who had to come to inquire once a day, showed a helpless face. It stands to reason that it should be Meng Chen and others who are anxious, not him, the envoy.

"Doctor Fu, the governor is far away in the Western Regions, so it's inconvenient to send news, the return date..."

Before Liu Bowen finished speaking, he saw a guard running in panting.

"The Chief Inspector sent back the news that the Western Regions have been pacified, and we will return soon!" After speaking, he handed over Meng Chen's handwritten letter.

Liu Bowen was overjoyed when he heard the words, took the letter and began to read it carefully.

The letter contains a lot of content, not only describing in detail the large and small battles of the Western Expedition, but also the human geography of the Western Regions.

"Boss Liu, when will the governor of Mongolia come back?" Fu Wan frowned and asked.

He could hear the words just now clearly, and he only said that he would return in a few days, but he didn't specify the specific day.

"Uh...the governor only talked about the harvest of the trip to the Western Regions, but he didn't mention the return time."

"How can this be good?"

After getting up, he walked around anxiously, completely oblivious to the smile on Liu Bowen's face.

"Doctor Fu, stay safe and don't be impatient. The content of this letter from the Inspector Meng is sufficient to report back to His Majesty."

Fu Wan was slightly taken aback, then quickly picked up the letter that Liu Bowen handed over, and read it carefully.

I don’t know if I don’t read it, I was startled when I read it, and the frown on my face has turned into a smile.

"Hahaha, good! Good! If the Inspector Meng makes new achievements, I will return to the court and return."

After the voice fell, Fu finished holding the letter and ran away.

At this moment, Fu Wan looked like a happy child, the laughter was definitely from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Ji smiled ghostly, he knew exactly what was going on in his mind after Fu Wan.

According to the current situation, it is [-]% impossible for Meng Chen to participate in the battle against Yuan Shu, but with this letter, the emperor and the court must be shaken again.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions is an eternal pain for the big man, but Meng Chen re-established it this time, which is undoubtedly putting gold on the face of the emperor.

Especially when the Han Dynasty was at its weakest, such a shot in the arm was injected so that those who cared had to weigh it.

Fu Wan left contentedly, while Meng Chen hurried back.

On the day of entering the city, Chang'an City was empty for thousands of people, and what Meng Chen had done in the Western Regions had already spread under Liu Bowen's arrangement.

The re-opening of the Silk Road made the merchants of Dahan see business opportunities, especially the news of the establishment of Chang'an West City, which made the Penguin Chamber of Commerce's membership increase by a lot.

"Congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lord!" Liu Bowen made Meng Chen a little dizzy when he saw Meng Chen's first words.

"Military division, why do you like it?"

The two looked at each other and laughed, some things didn't need to be said too clearly.

Judging from the current situation, Meng Chen is completely following Liu Bowen's original idea.

As a result, everything is going well so far!
Back at the mansion, Meng Chen plunged into the study after taking a shower and changing clothes under the care of Cai Yan and Yu'er.

Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, and the emperor issued an edict to crusade. For Meng Chen, it was a good opportunity to expand his territory.

"From the perspective of the military adviser, how is it most beneficial to send troops at the moment?"

"My lord came back from an expedition, so I shouldn't be raising troops this time..." Liu Bowen was interrupted by Meng Chen in the middle of his sentence.

"The Western Expeditionary Army does not move, and the remaining and newly recruited troops should be active."

"In this way, Ji suggested that my lord go out of the Baoxie Road, occupy Hanzhong first, and then occupy Shangyong to the east, threatening Yuan Shu from the west."

Meng Chen frowned, Yuan Shu's defeat was an indisputable fact.

Under the frontal attack of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and Sun Ce, they were already defeated.

And Liu Ji's so-called threat is out of the question!
Thinking along this line of thought, Liu Bowen's meaning is very clear. It is true to send troops to occupy Hanzhong and Shangyong counties this time, and it is false to threaten Yuan Shu.

"So, how many soldiers and horses can be mobilized?"

Meng Chen touched his chin with his right hand, thinking in his heart who he was waiting for.

"Newly recruit 8000 soldiers, [-] Great Qin soldiers, [-] Beiwei Army, and [-] Xuanjia Army, a total of [-] people."

"Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Chen will know a thing or two when the time comes, and the Five Dou Rice Sect has a way of winning people's hearts."

"Zhang Lu is quite ambitious, but his strength is not considered strong. Su Gu, the prefect of Shangyong, is insidious and cunning, but my lord should be careful."

"By the way, where is the angel?" After discussing the important matter, Meng Chen remembered the envoy sent by Liu Xie.

Liu Bowen smiled without saying a word, raised his right hand, and pointed in the direction where Xu Du was.

"So that's how it is. The order will go on, and the soldiers will send a compliment three days later."

Baoxie Road starts from Baogukou in the south and ends at the edge of Xiegukou in the north. Baoxie Ershui runs through Baoxie Ergu, also known as Xiegu Road, which is the main road from Bashu to Qinchuan.

The capture of Hanzhong was originally part of Liu Bowen's plan, and the approach to Shangyong was Meng Chen's response to the emperor's statement.

Meng Chen hasn't sent troops here yet, and he is far away in Xudu's court, and because of Meng Chen's Western Expedition to the Western Regions, the pot is blown up!

"Fu Aiqing, is this serious?" Liu Xie looked at Fu Wan who had been away for several months with disbelief on his face.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter written by Xiliang Governor Mengchen!"

While talking, Fu Wan handed over Meng Chen's autographed letter, while Cao Cao's eyes lit up not far away, as if he had found some treasure.

To say that Cao Cao has not restored the former glory of the big man in his heart is absolutely a lie.

At least before discussing Dong, Cao Cao was still the so-called "capable minister of governing the world".

The reason why he has become a "hero in troubled times" is all thanks to the princes from all walks of life.

Especially the Yuan family's performance in the troubled times made Cao Cao deeply realize that the powerful Han Dynasty is gone forever.

Cao Cao's gaze only lasted for two breaths. Although Meng Chen reopened the Protectorate of the Western Regions for the big man, it was not under the control of the emperor.

Cao Cao is aware of this, and Meng Chen is also aware of this, only a group of veteran officials in the court who don't know why are still dreaming of their own big dreams.

The melee among the princes is inevitable, and Yuan Shao's power is now expanding, and the pressure on Cao Cao is also increasing!

"Preaching the decree..." Cao Cao interrupted Liu Xie's voice as soon as it came out.

"Your Majesty, it's only a matter of time before Cao Hong leads the army to Nanyang and breaks the city." Cao Cao's words completely woke Liu Xie up.

In recent days, Cao Cao has become more and more pressing in the court, and many ministers who opposed Cao Cao have been imprisoned on trumped-up charges.

This familiar feeling made Liu Xie's mood drop to the bottom in an instant.
