The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 169 Long Live the King of Wei

"Everyone has worked hard." Today's visit was not just a formality. Chen Er took care of every military camp, and beef, mutton, and pork were provided in abundance. As for why he chose to visit the military camps on the first day of the new year...

Chen Erye had his own ideas. He told everyone that eating and drinking well on the first day of the new year meant that everyone wanted to eat and drink well in the coming year, just like on the first day of the new year.

Although a large amount of meat had been distributed before the New Year, the fact that His Highness Prince Wei personally came to the military camp to offer his condolences today is completely different. However, the rules of the military camp cannot be broken. There is enough meat, but everyone can only symbolically drink one bowl of wine.

"Brothers, you've worked hard!" Chen Er walked up to each soldier in the camp and shook hands with them. He even called out the names of one or two soldiers occasionally. In fact, this was all an act by Chen Er.

It's true that he loved his soldiers like his own children, but it's impossible for him to remember everyone's name. He just intentionally remembered some people's names, characteristics, and basic information each time he went to the military camp.

That way, when they come back next time, they can name some people, making the soldiers feel that Chen Er values ​​them.

These were all things he learned from reading online novels in his previous life. And let me tell you, these methods were indeed effective. Seeing how dedicated Chen Er was, all the soldiers could feel the attention from His Highness the King of Wei.

"Today is the first day of the new year, and I hereby declare that there is no shortage of meat today. Whether it is beef, mutton, or pork, you can have whatever you want!"

Wherever Chen Er went, he would loudly greet all his soldiers. Thanks to the gradual control of the northern grasslands, although Chen Er's forces still lacked some fine warhorses, they had plenty of cattle and sheep.

As a soul of modern society, Chen Er deeply understands the benefits of eating meat for a nation, so he has always emphasized the development of animal husbandry. From the current perspective, at least half of the people in the autonomous region can afford to eat meat once every one or two weeks, which is a huge step forward in this era and in this world.

Compared to the lives of ordinary people during the same period in Earth's history and the lives of people under the rule of other powers in this world, the people under the rule of Chen Er Autonomous Region lived a life that was practically half of paradise. As for the soldiers in the military camp, they could get five ounces of meat to eat every three days, which was quite good treatment.

"I believe that with such a good start today, everyone will be able to eat the fattest and most delicious meat and drink the finest wine all year round!" Chen Er shouted to the soldiers below from the command platform of the Northern Camp.

"Long live the King of Wei! Long live the King of Wei!"

Upon hearing Chen Er's words, the soldiers below began shouting "Long live Chen Er!" No one around thought it was wrong. In everyone's eyes, the lives of the people in the autonomous region deserved the words "Long live Chen Er!"

As for whether it violates taboos, no one cares about that anymore, because the emperor of the country is already dispensable, and there are even rumors in the autonomous region that Chen Er wants to be the emperor.

Even Guo Jia and others were somewhat tempted, but Chen Er said to them, "Although I seem to be doing quite well now, it's hard to guarantee that I won't be like this when I get old, and it's also hard to guarantee that my successor won't be like this. So being an emperor is not so easy."

Chen Er did not agree, which disappointed many people. However, many people still understood the implication in Chen Er's words. He did not explicitly agree, but he did not explicitly refuse either. This was a sign of hope!

Of course, these things are still spreading on a small scale. At this moment, Chen Er's most important task is to carry out his New Year's greetings activities!

Chen Er's New Year's greetings were a great success. Nowadays, everyone knows that as long as you serve in the army in the autonomous region, you are not afraid of losing a battle, because they are absolutely incapable of failure.

Moreover, everyone knows how much Chen Er cares for his soldiers; the best equipment and the best treatment are things that not every power can provide.

"Your name is Zhou Jie, right?" After finishing his prepared speech on the stage, Chen Er stepped down and walked among the soldiers in the training ground. As he passed a lean soldier, Chen Er suddenly stopped and asked him.

The soldier who was called upon by Chen Er was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "Reporting to my lord, that's right."

"You've been in the army for three years now, haven't you?" Chen Er asked again. Zhou Jie nodded in agreement, "My lord remembers very clearly."

"How could I not know? You were always right behind me during that battle. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you've gone from a recruit to a sergeant major." Chen Er said with emotion. Back then, Zhou Jie was just a soldier in the Tiger Legion, but now he's a sergeant major.

Patting Zhou Jie on the shoulder, Chen Er said to him, "Keep it up!"

As a member of the Tiger Legion, Zhou Jie was only a sergeant major, but he held a very high position in the army and was more prestigious than the field officers of ordinary corps. In addition, he had the experience of fighting alongside His Highness Prince Wei, which further enhanced Zhou Jie's personal experience.

Such a sergeant major holds a very high position in the army, which is why Chen Er paid special attention to Zhou Jie. You should know that Chen Er always has a purpose when he calls on someone.

Chen Er spent the longest time in the Tiger Legion's camp. Although the Tiger Legion's camp was the last camp he visited, it was also the most important one.

He even had lunch with the Tiger Legion soldiers, the first meal of the new year, to show Chen Er's high regard for the Tiger Legion, after all, the Tiger Legion was the first army Chen Er built up.

After having lunch at the Tiger Legion camp, Chen Er returned to the Prince of Wei's residence under the escort of his personal guards. Since his last assassination attempt, Chen Er has been protected by at least a company of guards whenever he goes out. He dares not be careless now, especially in this world where flintlock muskets are common. Assassinating someone is too easy. Of course, the most important thing is to find the spy hiding in the dark, otherwise it will be difficult to prevent such things from happening again.

Back home, Chen Er summoned Zhao Yun, who had just returned to Yuyang, and secretly instructed him to prepare for the southward journey, telling him not to bring too many people with him this time.

Chen Er only planned to bring a thousand cavalrymen from the Dragon Cavalry Battalion as escorts for the southward journey and as an honor guard when meeting Liu Bei. After all, appearances had to be maintained, otherwise he would be looked down upon.
