I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 456
Chapter 456
"Ding, congratulations to the host for accepting the famous general and getting the prestige reward!"

"Ding, due to the increase in the host's prestige level, a lucky draw will be rewarded once."

There was a system notification sound in his mind, which made Meng Chen's expression stagnate. Fortunately, his reaction was not slow, and he covered it up in an instant.

Meng Chen was naturally overjoyed when he got Zhang Fei, and when he decided to go to court tomorrow morning, he would be summoned as an official.

At this point, the goals of both parties have been achieved, even if Zhang Fei wanted to have a good drink, he was too embarrassed to drag Meng Chen and Li Cunxiao to drink it.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Fei, Meng Chen returned to the palace, hurried into the imperial study room, and couldn't wait to use the lucky draw opportunity.

"System, this host is going to draw a lottery!"

"Hmph, I'm Her Lady Queen." The system said angrily.

"Stop talking nonsense, draw a lottery!" Meng Chen replied domineeringly.

Now the holographic image that just popped up couldn't say anything, so he snorted coldly and started Meng Chen's long-lost lottery roulette.

As time went by, the speed of the roulette gradually slowed down, and the pointer finally stopped on a golden card.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting a golden recruitment card."

"Gold Recruitment Card? What level of character can you recruit?" Meng Chen asked subconsciously.

"Hmph, I won't tell you that if you spend 1000 system gold coins, you can designate recruits."

"..." Meng Chen was speechless, and he didn't know if the system was stupid or on purpose.

"This host wants to designate the recruits." Meng Chen said with a smirk.

"Hmph, you're very smart. Who do you want to recruit?"

"Guan Yu!"

"Ding, the recruitment is successful, and we will arrive within ten days." The system voice sounded again, and Meng Chen laughed and left.

With Zhang Fei and Guan Yu in hand, the big rock in Meng Chen's heart finally fell to the ground.

Ten days passed in a flash, and while Meng Chen was waiting anxiously, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly informed: "Your Majesty, General Xu Huang is asking to see you."

"Oh, pass!" Meng Chen said listlessly.

After a while, Xu Huang walked in sweating profusely.

"Gongming, why are you so flustered?" Meng Chen asked.

"Your Majesty, happy event..." Xu Huang said out of breath.

"Come on, drink some water and talk slowly, is Gongming getting married?"

"No, Your Majesty... Guan... Guan Yu..."

As soon as Xu Huang said this, Meng Chen reacted instantly.

"Brother Yun came to vote?"

"Exactly, the general and Yun Chang are from the same hometown. Yun Chang came to the mansion early this morning to express his intentions, but he felt speechless to meet His Majesty."

"Hey, brother Yun is too concerned about face. No matter, no matter!" Meng Chen said while beckoning Meng Shan to prepare the carriage.

About half an hour later, Meng Chen brought Zhang Fei to Xu Huang's mansion.

In the backyard, Guan Yu was concentrating on practicing the saber technique, completely oblivious to the arrival of Meng Chen and others.

Guan Xing at the side originally wanted to remind, but was stopped by Meng Chen.

After waiting for half a stick of incense, Guan Yu finally came to his senses.

"Brother Yun's sword technique has improved a lot." Meng Chen spoke first.

After hearing the words, Guan Yu came to his senses and hurriedly withdrew his knife to salute Meng Chen: "Grassman Guan Yu..."

"Brother Yun doesn't have to be like this." Meng Chen stepped forward quickly, and supported Guan Yu who was about to salute.

"Second brother!" Zhang Fei's voice came out, making Guan Yu's eyes moist.

"Third brother!"

"The past is over, and now the people in the world live in comfort, brother Yun, is he willing to protect the people in the world?" Meng Chen directly opened his mouth to solicit, which can be regarded as giving Guan Yu a step down.

"Cao Min is willing!" Guan Yu took a step back and saluted Meng Chen.

"Okay, I am very happy to have Elder Brother Yun's help."

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst out laughing.

On the same day and night, Meng Chen held a reception banquet for Guan Yu in Xu Huang's mansion, and also promised to summon him as a general the next day.

Before the Western Expedition, Meng Chen got two more capable generals, which can be said to be a good start.

Three months later, news came again from the Protectorate of the Western Regions, saying that the Da Yue Clan refused to admit it, and at the same time often sent troops to harass the trade routes.

Not only Da Yuezhi, but also Huacizimo.

As a result, the trade routes in the Western Regions were almost controlled by these two countries, causing heavy losses to the Penguin Chamber of Commerce.

"President Shen, I implore the president to make the decision for us in this matter."

"Yes, please tell the truth to your Majesty, the president, and make the decision for us."

……

At the headquarters of the Penguin Chamber of Commerce, a group of affected businessmen were crying in front of Shen Wansan.

"Okay, His Majesty has already known about this matter, and ordered the Western Regions Protectorate to fully guard the safety of the trade routes." Shen Wansan waved his hand.

"President Shen, I heard that His Majesty wants to send troops to the west, and we will do our best to assist you." A businessman from the Western Regions came out and said.

Shen Wansan who heard the words glared at him: "The president doesn't know about this matter, how do you know? Are you afraid that Anbu will investigate it?"

Shen Wansan's words carried a warning meaning, and the businessman from the Western Regions involuntarily shrank his head when he was frightened.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't inquire about what you shouldn't inquire about. The president will report the truth."

Shen Wansan has said so, and it is hard for these members of the chamber of commerce to say more.

After all, sending troops is no small matter.

And judging from the current rumors, the emperor of the Great Xia Empire will never stop there.

In the palace, although the early dynasty had dispersed, Sangong and the main generals of the Great Xia Empire did not leave just yet.

The news from the Protectorate of the Western Regions is no longer a secret, and now everyone is waiting for Meng Chen to make a final decision.

"Mr. Wenhe, is there any new news?" Seeing Jia Xu approaching slowly, everyone asked impatiently.

"Yes, wait for a while so I can meet His Majesty first." Jia Xu said blankly.

After so many years, those who are familiar with Jia Xu know that he always has this expression no matter what happens, big or small.

The generals who heard the words didn't ask any more questions, after all, Anbu was directly responsible to Meng Chen.

"Two prime ministers, great general, please accompany me to meet His Majesty." Jia Xu said to Liu Bowen, Wei Zheng, and Li Cunxiao.

Seeing this, the three of them looked at each other and followed Jia Xu towards the imperial study.

As soon as the four of them walked to the door of the imperial study, Meng Shan said: "Your Majesty, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

In the imperial study room, Meng Chen stood in front of the map of the Western Regions in a daze.

At this moment, he is negotiating with the system in his consciousness.

"Gunpowder is so expensive, why don't you go and rob it?" Meng Chen cursed.

"Hmph, the system is happy, whether you like it or not!"

Hearing this, Meng Chen gritted his teeth. If it weren't for the lack of stock in the artisan workshop, he would not be able to buy it in the system store.

"Okay, just buy it!" In the end, Meng Chen gave up, and had to spend five thousand system gold coins to buy the gunpowder for this expedition.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for spending five thousand gold coins to obtain the formula of smokeless gunpowder."
