"Cao Cao still sent troops to attack Xuzhou." Looking at the information in his hand, Ye Chen sighed.

Cao Song was killed, and Cao Cao sent tens of thousands of troops to attack.

"I know how to pinch soft persimmons."

In Ye Chen's opinion, this Xuzhou Tao Qian is undoubtedly a soft persimmon, and Xuzhou is rich, so it has long been remembered, and it is not strange for Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou.

Tao Qian is good at managing the territory, but he has no achievements in the military, there are not many troops, and he is not refined, and there are no generals who can take action.

A doll guards the gold ingot, and it is strange that it is not coveted.

But it doesn't matter, the most important thing is how much benefit Ye Chen can get from it.

He had already received the news that Cao Song had been killed, and Ye Chen sent several messengers.

All the way to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was not easy to fool, so he bought some consumables such as arrows, and did not ask for other weapons and equipment.

However, Xuzhou has purchased a large number of people.

Xuzhou bought 10,000 sets of equipment at a high price, which made Ye Chen make a lot of money.

At the same time, Xuzhou asked Mi Zhu to write a letter asking for help, and asked Ye Chen to send troops to help Xuzhou.

Of course, this was ignored by Ye Chen, and he directly regarded it as if he didn't see it, and he didn't even reply.

Running thousands of miles to defend the city for others, only making a little money Ye Chen will not do it, if he can earn land and population, Ye Chen will definitely consider it.

However, at present, the territory of Xuzhou does not have much effect on Ye Chen, so he doesn't want to give it to him.

"What is this Lu Bu going to do? He actually wants to buy 15,000 sets of equipment, does he have the money? Thinking of Lu Bu, Ye Chen's first reaction was whether he had any money.

Lu Bu escaped from Chang'an, and there are only thousands of soldiers and horses left, and he can only buy equipment after selling all of them.

Ye Chen likes to do business, whether Lu Bu has money or no money, Ye Chen also plans to do this business.

The reason is very simple, this Lu Bu is a potential stock, and in the future, he may become the owner of Xuzhou as in history, if Lu Bu enters Xuzhou, then Lu Bu will have the ability to repay the loan.

When the time comes, just calculate the interest together, as for whether the other party will default on the debt, Ye Chen didn't think about it, you have to dare to take risks when doing business, if you don't pay it back, Ye Chen will take it himself.

In a county seat in Xuzhou, Lu Bu was discussing something with Chen Gong at this time.

"Strategist, we only have more than 6,000 people now, but we are looking for Ye Chen to buy 15,000 weapons and equipment, is there a need? And we don't have that much money. Lu Bu asked.

Chen Gong stroked his beard and said: "Cao Mengde sent troops to attack Xuzhou, this is our opportunity, but we are short of troops, if there is a chance, we will use this batch of equipment to quickly equip the army, since Ye Chen sent a messenger to prove that he intends to sell it to us, we have opened the conditions, if it is not successful, there is no loss, if it is really sold to us, it is our opportunity." ”

When Lu Bu heard this, his heart settled down a lot, at this time, he sent people under the fence, there were few soldiers and generals, and there was no territory, fortunately, Chen Gong planned for him.

Chen Gong saw the hope of Lu Bu's rise, and in his opinion, under normal circumstances, Xuzhou would not be able to resist Cao Cao at all.

Xuzhou is rich, but it is too weak, this Cao Cao has just sent troops, and before he can fight, Tao Qian asked for help everywhere.

I have to say that Chen Gong saw it very clearly and saw through the situation in Xuzhou, so he decisively bought 15,000 sets of weapons and equipment from Ye Chen.

Otherwise, once the situation changes, he will not be able to quickly equip the army, and if he does not buy it by then, it will be too late, and he will have enough strength to obtain enough benefits.

"Sold." After thinking about it, Ye Chen decided to sell Lu Bu 15,000 sets of equipment, it doesn't matter if he has no money now, anyway, it is sold at a high price, and even the interest is counted in it, and if he sells it to him at this time, he can still leave a lot of favors.

Even if you don't have money in the future, you can have land, you can use the population to pay it back, and if you can't do it, you can help Ye Chen fight, and he will help fight whoever Ye Chen needs him to fight.

Just sold a large amount of weapons and equipment to Lu Bu, and within a few days, the happy news came again, and Yuan Shu also wanted to buy a large number of Ye Chen's weapons and equipment.

However, Yuan Shu did not have enough money, so part of it was purchased with money, and the other was exchanged for population.

Ye Chen directly asked the merchant ship to drive to Yuan Shu's doorstep, and then transported the people to Taiwan.

For Ye Chen, he likes them to exchange population the most, and what he lacks is population.

made three big orders in a row, so that Ye Chen was half full, although he didn't make much money, but there were a lot of benefits, these two batches of equipment made the workshop have to work overtime to manufacture, and Ye Chen had no choice but to continue selling equipment in the short term.

Ye Chen was happy to eat, and some people were unhappy.

In Cao Cao's camp.

"Meng De, this Ye Chen is too shameless." Cao Hong scolded angrily.

Xiahou Yuan also came out and said, "Yes, Meng De, isn't Ye Chen obviously going against us by selling weapons and equipment to Tao Qian, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu?" ”

"We can't go on like this, so we attack Xuzhou, the price is too great, I heard that the weapons and equipment sold to Xuzhou not only have a large number of arrows, but also bows and crossbows, which is too unfavorable for us." Cao Ren also said.

Cheng Yu and the other strategists didn't say a word to Cao Cao, Ye Chen made a fortune selling equipment, and it hurt them very much, of course they knew, but they knew it, but they couldn't help it.

"Damn merchants, they're all vampires." Xiahoudun also scolded.

After thinking about it for a long time, Cao Cao didn't have any good way, and it was useful to protest? Can you still send troops to attack Ye Chen?

"Alas, my lord, the matter has come to this, we can only show our attitude and send a letter of protest to Youzhou, although it can't change anything, but we can't let Ye Chen be so unscrupulous, otherwise I don't know what to do next time." Cheng Yu said.

Cao Cao was extremely depressed, and he really didn't have anything to do about it.

It is obviously not possible to send troops to attack Ye Chen, since he does not dare to send troops to attack, then what other way can he be?

What are the business activities of Youzhou businessmen in Yanzhou now? This is obviously the practice of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, Cao Cao obviously will not do this, unless he has already broken with Ye Chen and started hostility.

"That's all there is to it." Cao Cao said: "In the future, Ye Chen may be even more terrifying than Yuan Shao. ”

Cao Cao has actually always been very jealous of Ye Chen, although he is not a family and has natural disadvantages, but he can cultivate talents by himself, make up for his shortcomings, coupled with the terrifying combat power of the Youzhou Army, he will definitely be a big enemy of him in the future.

However, at this time, Cao Cao couldn't care about the future, and since he had already sent troops, he had to win.

Cao Cao sent several letters of protest to Ye Chen in a row, and a few days later, Ye Chen received a letter from Cao Cao.

"Lord, this Cao Cao knows that this protest letter is useless, and he sent several letters in a row." Guo Jia said.

Ye Chen flipped through Cao Cao's letter casually, put it on the table indifferently, and then said: "We have done everything, and others are not allowed to complain, anyway, I am the image of being lustful and mercenary, not a righteous gentleman, and it is reasonable to do this kind of thing in the future." ”

Regarding Cao Cao's protest, Ye Chen didn't care at all, just protest, anyway, the business must be done.
