I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 198 News from Chang'an

Chapter 198 News from Chang'an

Looking at Sisley in front of him, Mengchen smiled faintly, and suddenly a plan came up in his heart. Although the time for the expedition to Guishuang is not ripe, it is still necessary to cause some trouble for the Guishuang Empire.

"My lord, the general learned from the captives that the commander-in-chief of the Guishuang army this time is the eldest princess of the Guishuang Kingdom."

"Oh? If that's the case, the two siblings will be imprisoned together."

"Here!"

Defeating Guishuang's 20 troops in the first battle is naturally something to be proud of. Regardless of whether the Xiliang army or the coalition forces of the Western Regions, even after a night of fierce fighting, they are still in high spirits.

After a great victory, it is inevitable to reward meritorious deeds. Taking advantage of the high morale of the soldiers, Meng Chen announced that all the spoils of this battle, except the prisoners, belong to the coalition forces of the Western Regions.

As soon as this remark came out, the soldiers of the Western Regions rejoiced, and all of them spoke Chinese that was not very fluent, shouting "General Xie" in their mouths.

As for the military exploits of the Xiliang Army, there has long been an independent reward and punishment system, so there is no need for Meng Chen to say too much.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task, and reward you with a chance to draw a lottery."

As the loli voice came out in his mind, Meng Chen did not hesitate to use the lucky draw chance he just got.

With a flash of golden light in his mind, a brand new skill appeared.

"Congratulations to the host for acquiring the skill religious fanaticism!"

Meng Chen was a little speechless, what the hell is religious fanaticism?Is it possible to learn from a certain pope to start a religious war?But myself...

Wait... Qiu Chuji, Zhang Lu, how could I forget these two guys!

After returning to the commander's tent, Meng Chen hurriedly ordered Meng Shan to find the members who did not accept at night, since they sent Qiu Chuji and Zhang Lu to the Western Regions, they seemed not to have paid attention to them.

After three days of rest, the 10,000+ army returned to Guishan City with tens of thousands of captives.

Due to the appointment of the new monarch, the order of Guishan City has been restored except that the collapsed city wall will take time to repair.

In the palace, the news of the great victory of the Han army had already spread, and the old monarch of Dawan Kingdom heaved a long sigh. It was inevitable for him to regret it now. If he wanted to blame it, he would blame himself for being fooled.

Compared with Dahan, the national power of Dawan is one in the sky and one in the earth. Even if there are constant internal disputes among the Dahan, it is not something that a mere Dawan can offend.

Meng Chen once said that the old monarch of Dawan Kingdom should witness the defeat of Guishuang Kingdom's army with his own eyes. Now that he has done it, someone will naturally do the rest.

"My lord, the old monarch of Dawan hanged himself." Gao Xianzhi walked quickly to Meng Chen's side and whispered.

"Let's have a decent burial! After all, you are the king of a country, and you must have all the etiquette you should have."

"Here!"

The method of carrot and stick, Meng Chen is now using like fire and pure relatives. If he wants to strengthen his rule in Dawan Kingdom, he must have both military strength and benevolence.

On the fifth day after returning to Guishan City, Meng Chen finally saw Qiu Chuji himself.

"Long time no see, Daoist Qiu has lost a lot of weight!" Meng Chen greeted him as soon as they met.

"Thank you for your concern, my lord. Pindao has finally lived up to my lord's high expectations! In the past few years, I have traveled around the countries of the Western Regions, given lectures, and built Taoist temples. I just arrived in Dawan Kingdom, and I heard that my lord returned home in a great victory."

"Hahaha, Guishuang just can't stop talking!"

The two chatted one sentence at a time, and after about two hours, Meng Chen sent Qiu Chuji away with a smile on his face.

Now that Taoism has taken root in the Western Regions and is spreading widely, this is definitely great news for Meng Chen.

Originally, I was thinking about the use of religious fanaticism skills, but now it seems that none of the rewards being drawn out by the system are waste products.

"System, use the religious fanatic skill."

"Ding, once the skill is activated, it will be valid for two years."

Meng Chen grinned, and the garrison coupled with religious control, I believe that in the near future, the Western Regions will become the advance base of Meng Chen's western expedition.

"My lord, there is news from Chang'an that Yuan Shao died of illness!" Meng Shan's voice came, pulling Meng Chen out of his thoughts.

"What time is it?"

"A month ago, Cao Cao had already prepared his troops, and there was a possibility of attack at any time."

"Brother Shan, inform the generals to discuss the matter."

For Mengchen, Yuan Shao's death is not a good thing.

The Yuan family has four generations and three princes, but the interior is not monolithic, especially Yuan Shao's three princes, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.

If Mengchen's guess is correct, Cao Cao must adopt the method of disintegration and gradual encroachment, and his primary goal must be Jizhou.

Compared with Yanzhou, the wealthy Jizhou must be Cao Cao's primary goal.

But in Mengchen's view, no matter Jizhou or Yanzhou, it must not fall into the hands of Cao Cao, otherwise it would be breeding tigers!

Before half a stick of incense was poured, everyone arrived one after another.

"Everyone, news came from Chang'an that Yuan Shao died of illness."

After saying this, everyone whispered to each other, even Gao Xianzhi knew what was going to happen next.

Clearing his throat, Meng Chen continued: "Gao Xianzhi, the Marquis has decided to keep 6 horses, and you will use Guishan City as your foundation to gradually encroach on Guishuang's territory."

"The last general is in charge, but there must be someone in Kucha."

"This, the Marquis has already considered it." Speaking of this, Meng Chen turned his head and looked at Huo Ben. Although he has not yet recognized the Lord, it is only a matter of time.

"Huo Ben, you are most familiar with Qiuci, and I will leave the Protectorate of the Western Regions to you."

"Thank you my... my lord, the last general will not hesitate to die!"

"Hahahaha, okay, you can order the Qidu guards to return to Kucha, and then send someone to escort Li Ru back."

"Here!"

Having arranged the affairs of the Western Regions, the next step is how to return. There are only 7 of the [-] people who came here, and there are still more than [-] prisoners who need to be escorted. This matter has to be carefully considered by Meng Chen.

"Zhijie, you led an army of [-] and mobilized the coalition forces of the Western Regions to escort more than [-] captives back to Chang'an."

"Here!" Although he was extremely reluctant, Cheng Yaojin still agreed.

"There is a lot of waste in the Central Plains area, and the more than [-] free laborers have a great relationship."

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm awake, but what should I do with that bullshit prince and princess?"

When Chen Yaojin said this, Meng Chen slapped his forehead suddenly, and almost forgot about it.

"This time Guishuang has suffered heavy losses, but we must not be too cruel. Release Sisley and escort Princess Amy to Chang'an."

When he said this, the corners of Meng Chen's mouth rose slightly. Whenever this expression appeared, someone must have been tricked.

"My lord means..." Gao Xianzhi was stopped by Meng Chen in the middle of his sentence.

"It can only be understood without words. In addition, the strength of the Roman mercenaries has reached [-]. It is impossible for the Marquis to support them for no reason. It is time to go out for a walk."
