Li Meng's requirements for the Three Kingdoms are also very simple, garrisons and trade, as long as they agree, Li Meng can form a brotherhood with them, but in this way, the Makino Kingdom will be one level bigger than them, after all, Li Meng is just a prince, and the brotherhood between the Three Kingdoms and a prince of the Makino Kingdom will naturally raise the Dingyuan Emperor to a higher level.

It will be a little higher than the status of the Western Wu Kingdom, after all, Li Meng has now become the uncle of the little emperor of the Western Wu Kingdom and the nominal grandson of the Dingyuan Emperor.

As soon as the million army came out, Wei Guo was scared to pee his pants, and the Emperor Wei decided to form a brotherhood with King Muyang, willing to trade with each other and agreed that Muye State would send no more than 10,000 troops into the country, 10,000 troops was too little, Li Meng thought and repeatedly disagreed with Wei Guo's request, at least 100,000 troops and asked them to give priority to ensuring the safety of caravans and garrisons.

Li Meng thought that there would be a big war waiting for the million-strong army of the Makino Kingdom, but Li Meng only refuted the other party and agreed, it seems that his asking price was too low at the beginning, and he should let them start with surrender, and then negotiate with the vassal state, so that they can be treated with the Western Wu State.

But since it was negotiated like this, it was not convenient for Li Meng to regret it, so be it, the million-strong army went out for a walk around and didn't do anything, and Wei Guo succumbed.

When the Lieguo and Donghu kingdoms behind heard the news, they agreed to trade and garrison before Li Meng's army reached the border.

"Lord Wang, the envoy of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom asks to see you. ”

When Li Meng was about to collect his troops and return to Xiyang County, the guard officer came to report that the army of the Northern Barbarian State was in a state of stalemate with the armies of the Wuwei State, the Utan State, and the Khanate at this time, and what was the situation when the envoy was sent now?

"No, let's just say that this king has a cold and wants to go back to Xiyang Pass for treatment, and let them go to Xiyang Pass to talk about something. ”

Li Meng didn't need to ask the other party to know what their idea was, it was nothing more than an accusation to get some convenience from Muye Country, no matter what it was, it was very nerve-wracking, the envoys were mostly people who could speak well, Li Meng was not afraid of trouble but it was not necessary, there was nothing to do with him when he was negotiating, and now he came to him to seek benefits, Li Meng did not need to deal with them.

Besides, I can't talk to you either, I'm a dignified prince and generalissimo of the expedition to the west and wasting time with you.

Li Meng asked General Wu Di to leave 100,000 troops to garrison Wei, Lie, and Donghu respectively, Zhang Fei led 300,000 troops and 200,000 Western Wu servant troops to return to Wuzhou City, and all other armies returned to Xiyang County.

The worst was the deputy marshal of Gomen, the 200,000 servant army passed through his hands and was deprived of military power, and now he became the commander of the light pole, according to the agreement, the first stage of the war was over, regardless of whether the Northern Barbarians agreed or not.

Li Meng did not receive the envoys of the Northern Barbarian Kingdom until Xiyang Pass.

Externally, Li Meng said that he was very busy and wanted to command millions of troops, the real situation is that Li Meng basically has nothing to do, Zhang Fei handles everything in the Western Wu Kingdom, Wu Di handles the affairs of the Three Kingdoms, there is a chamber of commerce in business, the chamber of commerce is also responsible for collecting taxes, and He Taiyi of Xiyang County is responsible.

The only Gomen also allowed Li Meng to deprive him of military power.

Leng Jun: "Lord, there is news from the imperial court that the emperor is going to withdraw the right guard, and most of the war is over, and the ministers of the court think that it is not appropriate to still have so many troops stationed at the border pass." ”

"Okay, this king is also going to return to Yunjing, the Imperial Forest Army has been on the expedition for almost a year, and there is nothing to do, so he has been staying at the border to collect grain and grass in the imperial court. ”

Leng Jun was surprised and said, "Lord Wang, do you plan to take only 50,000 Imperial Forest Army back?"

"yes, do you want to bring back the entire army of millions?"

Leng Jun hesitated for a moment and said: "The imperial court has already criticized, they have criticized Commander Zhang Fei the most, followed by Commander Miao and He Junshou, and even they want to withdraw General Wu Di to Yunjing, although no one dares to say anything about the prince, but the purpose is obvious, I don't want the prince's strength to be too strong, and I don't want the prince to make too many contributions." ”

"Oh, is the power of this king very strong? It seems that there is no power of this king, the soldiers and civilians on the border of the Western Regions are all from the imperial court, and the Western Wu and other countries are also grateful to the strength of our Muye country to worship us, how can we have any credit, if we want to say that the credit is at most to do some business, so that the soldiers can make a little money. ”

Leng Jun was speechless, a little money? The ministers in the court were staring out, Leng Jun didn't want to tell Li Meng this, this should be a very obscure thing, how could this prince deliberately bring it up, the matter of the Western Army's windfall has already made many people red, and Leng Jun naturally gained a lot.

In the spring of the forty-third year of Dingyuan, the generalissimo of the expedition to the west, the king of Muyang led 50,000 imperial forest troops and 150,000 right guards to return to Beijing, and hundreds of thousands of troops requisitioned from all over the country returned directly to their respective stations, leaving only 100,000 left the left guard army and hundreds of thousands of servants and 200,000 troops of General Wu Di on the front line of the Western Regions.

The envoy of the Northern Barbarian State still couldn't see Li Meng's side in Xiyang Pass, and went back in disgrace, the Northern Barbarian army was hesitant, the attack was weak, and the retreat was unwilling, and there was no suitable reason to reprimand the Makino Kingdom, and he was also worried about angering the Makino Kingdom, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

With tens of thousands of catties of spiritual materials, 10 million taels of silver, and countless treasures of all kinds, all the countries in the Western Regions seem to know that this King Muyang likes spiritual materials and likes to do business.

The tariffs for most of the year have increased a lot compared with the original, and He Taiyi has to admire, he is really a good hand at doing business, he is too good at fishing, and he blatantly distributes silver to his subordinates, ignoring the rules of the imperial court at all.

The 10 million taels of silver and tens of thousands of catties of spiritual materials are just the tip of the iceberg, and they are ready to be handed over to the imperial court.

A month later, the army of Zhengxi arrived in Yunjing, and to Miao Yidao and Wu Di's great surprise, this prince didn't care about the whereabouts of the army at all, and ignored them as soon as he arrived in Yunjing, and only returned to the palace with more than two hundred guards.

The Imperial Guards and the Right Guard went home and looked for their mothers.

This made the ministers in the court fall to the ground, how to celebrate this big victory, and then boast of a big feast, but the prince did nothing, and closed the door after returning to the palace, Emperor Dingyuan seemed to be old and confused, and there was no will for the return of the army, until the court said a good word.

Li Meng proposed at the court meeting to use the 10 million taels of silver as the start-up capital for the establishment of the navy, and Li Meng's proposal was naturally opposed by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and only 2 million taels were earned.

Li Meng is not short of this money at all, tens of thousands of catties of spiritual materials, more than 20 million taels of silver and various treasures have been piled up in the pot space, but the posture still has to be done again, it is very painful, the ministers of the court and the people in the palace can see it, and they only ate three bowls of rice at dinner.
