Chapter 297 The Secret of the Mengshi Clan
Chapter 297 The Secret of the Mengshi Clan
The news of Cao Hong's defeat in the first battle quickly spread back to Xudu.

Although the soldiers and horses were not damaged much, the grain, grass and supplies brought by them were basically lost.

Cao Cao didn't say much about this!
This result is not unexpected. According to Meng Chen's personality, no matter how many opponents come, it will be a head-on blow.

"Order Cao Hong, the army will retreat into Yingchuan County and maintain a confrontation with the Xiliang army!" After a moment of silence, Cao Cao spoke, but such a general order made everyone a little puzzled.

"Zhongde, how is the food and grass prepared?" Cao Cao turned his head to look at Xi Zhicai before everyone could speak.

"One batch was sent out last night, and the remaining grain and grass will be sent out today."

Hearing this, Cao Cao nodded. After Cao Hong set off, Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai advised Cao Cao to prepare food and grass in case of emergencies. Now it seems that the two of them had expected Cao Hong to be defeated like this .

"Order the soldiers of the three armies to continue preparing for the battle, and wait for the decisive battle with the Xiliang army after the beginning of spring."

"Here!"

The reason why Cao Cao was like this was not only because Cao Hong was defeated in this battle, but also from the feedback from the counties and counties, the effect of the counterattack was not ideal.

Regardless of whether the Xiliang Army fought in the field or defended the city, Cao Jun's counterattack across the board did not make much progress.

The only city that was regained was completely recovered under the premise that the Xiliang Army retreated actively.

Suddenly, the sudden attack initiated by Meng Chen came to an abrupt end.

And Cao Cao didn't react too much, the two sides seemed to have found a balance tacitly at this moment.

When Mengchen returned to Chenliu County, two news came from Chang'an, one good and one bad!
"My lord, the military advisor sent the news that Sister Yu'er gave birth to a little son for my lord." Meng Shan, who got the news, almost ran all the way into the house.

Regardless of whether it is Mengshan or Yu'er, Mengchen followed him when he was very young.

Now that Meng Chen has a prominent status, even though Yu'er is a maid, she is also Meng Chen's wife and concubine.

Therefore, Meng Shan's reaction is also normal, after all, there was a saying in ancient times that "mother is more expensive than child".

Now in the General's Mansion, although Yu'er's status cannot be compared with other girls, after having this child, it will be different.

However, Meng Shan thinks this way, but Meng Chen does not. In his eyes, whether it is a family member or a child, there is no distinction between high and low status.

"Okay, okay, if this Marquis has another son, it will be a big deal!"

However, Meng Chen's joy has not yet passed, only to see a soldier of the Meng family hurried in:

"My lord, there's news from home that Uncle Wu has gone west on a crane!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Meng Chen immediately stood up. Although Uncle Wu is very mysterious, it would be impossible for Meng Chen to come from Linjing County to today without the full support of Uncle Wu.

The Meng family, although he is a contemporary son, Meng Chen doesn't know many things about the family.

After the whole family went to Chang'an, Meng Chen never saw Uncle Wu again.

Walking back and forth for a few steps, Meng Chen seemed to be fighting fiercely in his heart. Now that the battle has just started well, Meng Chen will never return here.

In just a few dozen breaths, Meng Chen made a decision: "Brother Shan, after the war, Master Ben is unable to return to Chang'an at this moment. You take this jade pendant and go back to wear mourning for Master."

Hearing the words, Meng Shan hurriedly responded, and at this moment, he was the only one who was most suitable to replace Meng Chen to return.

Although both he and Meng Chen don't have much kinship with Uncle Wu, Uncle Wu's identity is extraordinary.

"Wait!" Just as Meng Shan turned to leave, Meng Chen stopped him again.

"Take half of the guards back, just in case."

Hearing the words, Meng Shan hesitated a little, and instantly understood Meng Chen's intention.

There are seven elders in the entire Meng family, and Uncle Wu is one of them.

In the past, when Meng Chen was doing something, he had the full support of his fifth uncle, but now at this juncture, Meng Chen does not want problems in the rear of Chang'an.

Seeing Meng Shan's figure disappear from sight, Meng Chen immediately said to the black shadow in a corner: "Shi A, send someone to send a message to the military division immediately, if there is any change in Chang'an, you can cut it first and then play it."

"Here!" Shi A promised to leave, and Pang Tong, who had been silent at the side, showed a look of surprise at this moment.

After staying in this house for almost two hours, Pang Tong didn't realize the existence of Shi A.

And if it wasn't for the emergency just now, I'm afraid Shi A would still not be exposed.

"My lord, you can sit back and relax with a military adviser in Chang'an!" Pang Tong tried to persuade him, he knew very little about the Meng family, but looking at Meng Chen's reaction just now, this matter is no small matter.

"Shiyuan knows, why is this Marquis like this?" After taking a deep breath, Meng Chen suddenly asked.

Since the Meng clan moved back to Chang'an, several elders in the clan had other thoughts.

When Uncle Wu was alive, he sent someone to remind Meng Chen that if he suppressed this matter, it would be impossible to turn the world around.

But now that Uncle Wu is driving west, Meng Chen has to be on guard!

"My lord, I want to say that someone wants to restore the pre-Qin country name?" Pang Tong lowered his head in thought for a while, and then said something.

"What Shi Yuan said is true. The Meng family first protected the blood of Young Master Fusu." Meng Chen's words surprised Pang Tong.

According to the records in the history books, the young master Fusu's family had died long ago, so how could he still have blood?
"My lord is..."

Meng Chen shook his head: "This Marquis is not, but Uncle Wu is, and this is why he can suppress the other six elders."

The reason why Mengchen knew all this was because of Mengshan. It can be said that Mengshan was the link between Uncle Wu and Mengchen.

There was a time when Meng Chen thought that Meng Shan was the fifth uncle's child.

But the evidence found at the end showed that Meng Shan was nothing more than a slayer trained by the family since childhood.

Now that Meng Chen is powerful and has the opportunity to win the world, some of the elders naturally have other ideas.

It is impossible to control the elders like Mengchen, but if Mengchen's family is used as a threat to force Mengchen to submit, it is still possible.

This is also the fundamental reason why Mengchen wanted to establish Anbu!
Right now, the great war has begun, and the first step of the plan has been completed. As the saying goes, there is no turning back. Meng Chen also does not want years of preparation to be wasted.

Leaving Liu Bowen to guard Chang'an is Meng Chen's backhand!
And restoring the pre-Qin country name would do more harm than good to Meng Chen today.

If Mengchen did this, on the one hand, it would cause internal disunity, and on the other hand, it would give him an excuse for the princes.

People's hearts are accumulated by Meng Chen's hard work, he doesn't want to squander all his hard work for so many years because of this matter!
