Chapter 457
The cold voice of the system fell, and Meng Chen was completely confused. The formula of smokeless gunpowder was something he dreamed of.

"System, this..." Meng Chen was speechless.

"Hmph, this queen has said long ago that there are many surprises when buying items in the system store!"

"Did you say that?"

"Didn't you tell me?"

"Have you ever said that?"

……

At this moment, Meng Chen suddenly found that he loves the hologram in front of him to death. If she is a real entity, he would like to rush up and kiss her.

"It is detected that the host has bad motives, give me a warning!"

Hearing this, Meng Chen involuntarily shivered, and then hurriedly escaped from his ocean of consciousness.

Meng Chen, who came back to his senses, turned around and found Liu Bowen, Wei Zheng, Li Cunxiao, and Jia Xu standing quietly like that, so he smiled awkwardly.

"Zhen, I'm lost in thought!" After saying this, Meng Chen waved his hand, signaling for the four of them to sit down and talk.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Anbu Western Region Branch that Da Yueshi and Huacizimo have secretly formed an alliance." Jia Xu hastily told the news he knew.

"Oh? Is it reliable?" Meng Chen asked differently.

If this is the case, then the sudden actions of Rida Yuezhi and Huacizimo some time ago are justified.

After all, when the Protectorate of the Western Regions sent people to inquire, both sides said that it was the private behavior of some generals.

"Reliable, besides, Wen You and the minister have the same opinion." After saying this, Jia Xu took out the letter sent back by Li Ru.

There are a lot of contents in the letter, most of which are family matters, but at the end, Li Ru reminds Jia Xu that he must tell Meng Chen his own judgment.

"The two gentlemen think so, then I have nothing to doubt." When he said this, Meng Chen's face turned cold.

After a pause, Meng Chen said again: "If you don't die, you won't die. Since Dayueshi and Huacizimo are eager to die, then I will naturally satisfy their wishes."

"Your Majesty, don't send troops out of anger for the Western Expedition, you must make every effort to make all preparations." Wei Zheng came out to dissuade, although it was dissuasion, but Meng Chen knew that Wei Zheng was reminding himself.

"What Xuan Cheng said is very true, even if the army arrives in the Western Regions, I will not rush forward." Meng Chen replied with a smile, Wei Zheng's temper has finally been figured out by Meng Chen in the past few years, as long as he follows along, everything is easy to talk about.

Seeing this, Wei Zheng naturally didn't say anything more!
"Since Your Majesty has decided to go west, you need to make all kinds of arrangements before leaving." Liu Bowen reminded that if Meng Chen wanted to go on his own, he must have someone to manage the government and assist the country.

"I have considered this matter. The prince is still young at the age of nine, but participating in the study of government affairs is also a kind of experience. There are military advisers, Xuan Cheng and Mr. Wen He who are fully governing the government. I am relieved." When saying these words, The last three words were pronounced heavily by Meng Chente.

After Meng Chen's voice fell, Liu Bowen, Wei Zheng, and Jia Xu stood up and bowed. This kind of trust is not something anyone can get.

"Brother Cunxiao, when will Rengui return?" Seeing the three of them seated again, Meng Chen asked Li Cunxiao.

"It will take five days at most, and it will arrive in Chang'an in three days at the earliest."

Meng Chen nodded, before he led the Western Expedition Army to leave, all arrangements must be made.

Meng Chen didn't want to have riots on his back as soon as he left.

"The new army should hurry up and train. It may not be possible to return after going to the Western Regions for three to five years." Meng Chen sighed, and it was the shortest time for him to say this.

What's more, people always die in war, how many of the soldiers he took away this time can come back alive, even Meng Chen himself dare not think.

"Okay, the matter of the Western Expedition has been discussed more than once, and the revised list has been decided long ago. You can just wait for it to be proposed at the court meeting. I need to solve the family affairs first." Meng Chen got up and said a word, and then quickly step away.

Originally, Meng Chen promised to take his family to the Western Regions, but now it seems that this promise can basically not be fulfilled.

If the crown prince wants to participate in the government affairs, Cai Wenji naturally wants to stay, but Meng Chen only intends to take Amy with her for this western expedition, after all, she is more suitable for the environment there.

Therefore, for the meal that night, Meng Chen spent a lot of effort to appease his wives and concubines.

Fortunately, Ma Chao was going to go out with him, and Lu Qiling was going as well. As for Sun Shangxiang, she was pregnant now, and Zhao Yun was going to stay, so she didn't say anything more.

"I'm here to assure my husband that when the Western Regions are stable, I will pick you up in a year or two." In the end, Meng Chen made another promise, which completely calmed down the matter.

A month later, the news of Meng Chen's personal expedition to the west spread throughout the Great Xia Empire.

At the same time, the Great Xia Empire Navy also went to sea on a large scale under the leadership of Gan Ning and Zhou Yu.

And their goal is only one, and that is to find the best way to reach Rome from sea and land.

All of a sudden, the whole Great Xia was excited, especially those merchants from the Western Regions, who quickly spread the news that the Great Xia Emperor led the army to the west.

"Your Majesty, do you want to prevent these merchants from bringing back news?" Ma Chao suggested to Meng Chen outside Yumen Pass.

"No need, this is what I want." Meng Chen smiled complacently.

According to his plan, the army will be divided into two groups and arrive in the territory of Dawan Kingdom, where they will rest and reorganize and attack the Da Yuezhi or Huacizimo at an opportunity.

And these merchants on the Western Regions Commercial Road are still included in his plan by Meng Chen.

Under normal circumstances, the news brought back by these businessmen will become more and more exaggerated, which will make Da Yuezhi and Huacizimo lose their due judgment.

For this expedition, Meng Chen only brought [-] troops.Among the [-] troops, there are [-] new troops equipped with various firearms.

Even so, the equipment of the [-] new troops made Mengchen feel that the logistics pressure was quite heavy.

As for the other [-] troops, they were naturally all cavalry.

Moreover, the Protectorate of the Western Regions also raises 20 troops. If it is mobilizing the military forces of the countries in the Western Regions, 30 or even [-] troops will not be difficult.

However, Meng Chen didn't want to be so laborious, after all, what he pursued was the strategy of not having many soldiers but focusing on precision.

The larger the army on the western expedition, the greater the pressure on logistical support, and vice versa.

Fortunately, the Penguin Chamber of Commerce knew the route of the Western Regions well, which also allowed the army led by Meng Chen to reach the territory of Dawan Kingdom before the arrival of winter.

Today's capital of Dawan Kingdom has become Meng Chen's advance base.

Here, all kinds of information gathered. From the current point of view, there have been differences within the Da Yuezhi.

"Your Majesty, there was a disagreement within the Da Yue Clan a few days ago. The arrival of our army must have caused internal turmoil in the Da Yue Clan." It was Gao Xianzhi who spoke.

Although I haven't seen her for several years, except for a lot of gray hair on her temples, her appearance basically hasn't changed much.
