Ye Chen didn't know what Cao Cao was paying attention to, but he did agree to come.

Directly with 5,000 soldiers and horses to Qingzhou.

"Lord, this Cao Cao is really here, I don't know what the purpose of his coming is?" Xu Shu asked.

"Cao Cao is not simple, I can't completely guess it, but he has coveted Qingzhou for a long time, this time he can just take advantage of Qingzhou to observe Qingzhou's defense, and our two armies converge here, and all the people in Qingzhou dare not stop it." Ye Chen said.

After hearing this, Xu Shu's heart trembled, and he said loudly: "Lord, if Cao Cao uses us to create chaos, he can get a lot of benefits from it, and we are far away, and the whip is beyond our reach." ”

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "It's okay, as long as we can achieve our own goals, if Cao Cao has the ability, just use us." ”

Xu Shu didn't say anything, he didn't understand many of the concepts of later generations, like Ye Chen came here with a huge fleet to show off, he thought that although there were benefits, the same disadvantages were also great.

The biggest point is that the enemy knows that he has a large fleet of ships, which can be boarded from the sea at any time, and when the two sides become enemies, then the enemy will definitely guard against him, so that the suddenness is lost.

If the enemy is defenseless, Ye Chen landing from the sea and then sneaking in from behind can often determine the success or failure of a battle, or even a war.

Ye Chen didn't say much, as a courtier, just remind him, how to act, or Ye Chen has the final say.

Since Ye Chen had already decided, Xu Shu and the others did not continue to persuade.

Cao Cao was a decisive man, and he came to Qingzhou with 5,000 men and horses that day.

Sure enough, the people of Qingzhou did not dare to stop Cao Cao.

Afraid that Ye Chen would sneak attack from behind.

However, they guarded the city tightly and did not let Cao Cao and others approach.

"Mengde, the defense of the city along the road is not good, the armor is not neat, as long as I give me 30,000 soldiers and horses, I will definitely be able to sweep Qingzhou." Cao Hong said.

Cao Cao nodded and said: "That's right, now Qingzhou is divided and there is no unity, it is really not difficult to take it, but Yuan Shao is also eyeing Qingzhou, and Qingzhou has Kong Rong's second child, so it's not easy to start." ”

Cao Cao understood very well that militarily, there was almost no problem in taking Qingzhou, but from other aspects, he had to be cautious.

Yuan Shao didn't say anything, he kept threatening him in his rear, so that he had to use a large number of troops to guard against Yuan Shao.

In this way, he will not be able to draw enough troops to eat Qingzhou, and at the same time, if he attacks Qingzhou, Yuan Shao will inevitably make trouble from it.

Moreover, Kong Rong in Qingzhou has a very high prestige, and his own ability is not high, but his ancestor is Confucius, and if he doesn't do well, he will be the enemy of the world's scholars.

This is also the early stage, few people dare to punch Kong Rong, and in the later stage, they no longer take into account Kong Rong's identity.

Cao Cao hurried with his men, while thinking about how to take Qingzhou.

The most important thing to win Qingzhou is Yuan Shao, how to contain Yuan Shao, Cao Cao has a headache.

"Well, Cao Mengde is almost here, let's get off the boat and wait." Calculating the time, Ye Chen felt that Cao Cao was about to arrive, so he took everyone off the boat.

In addition to Xu Shu, Zhang Liao and the 3,000 guards brought with him were also disembarked, and another 3,000 sailors were ready to respond in the water at any time in case of accidents.

After waiting for more than an hour, Cao Cao appeared, and he arrived after three days' journey.

Cao Cao will arrive so soon, that is because he has been thinking about taking Qingzhou, so he recently took advantage of the absence of war to come to the border of Qingzhou to understand the situation and see if there is a chance, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to meet him in Qingzhou at this time.

"Haha, Brother Meng De, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're still the same." Ye Chen sat on the horse and said to Cao Cao who came from afar with a big laugh.

"Hmph, Ye Chen, you have reversed your word, and you still have the face to see me at this time." Cao Cao asked loudly.

"I went back on my word, Brother Meng De, you can't just say it, everyone in the world knows that I, Ye Chen, am a businessman and the most reputable."

The two sides each brought thousands of soldiers and horses, separated by dozens of meters, the meeting between the two was really unique, Cao Cao questioned Ye Chen as soon as he came, and Ye Chen was not affected at all, and calmly began to refute Cao Cao.

"Okay, we negotiated in Yanjin before, you sold me five thousand war horses, according to the market price of eighty percent, why is the opening price three percent more than the market price now." Cao Cao said.

Ye Chen touched his nose and calculated that Cao Cao would say this, but Ye Chen had already had a way to deal with it, so he said: "Brother Meng De, you are not a businessman, I don't know, the price of this war horse changes day by day, and now it is winter, and many horses are frozen to death by the grassland people, so the price has naturally risen." ”

"Don't lie to me, but I have learned that the grassland people are now short of food, so they take the initiative to reduce the price in exchange for food." Cao ** said with a face.

Ye Chen touched his nose, a little embarrassed, Cao Cao was right, at this time, the grassland people were very short of food, so the price of war horses had dropped.

This Cao Cao lacked war horses, so he still paid more attention to war horses, so he exposed Ye Chen's lies at once.

"Haha, Brother Meng De, that's somewhere else, you don't know my Youzhou, I had a good relationship with the grassland when Lord Liu Yu was there, but now I am the pastor of Youzhou Prefecture, this Xianbei and the Huns, I am offended to death, of course, buying horses from them is a sky-high asking price, if it is not for their lack of food, the price of this war horse is estimated to rise again."

Ye Chen's face was not red or panting, and he did not feel ashamed of being exposed by Cao Cao, but immediately threw out another lie.

"You..."

Cao Cao was choked by Ye Chen, knowing that there was something wrong with his words, but he had no way to refute it.

What Cao Cao didn't know was that the war horse that Ye Chen bought was exchanged for the products produced by the Ye family, and the actual price was much lower than the market price.

What Ye Chen said was reasonable, and Ye Chen also said that if he didn't obey Xianbei and the Xiongnu, they would have nothing to eat, and they would go south to plunder.

"Brother Meng De, how can you suspect that I am lying to you, I am the most reputable person in business." Ye Chen continued: "This winter hasn't passed yet, maybe the price of war horses will rise again. ”

"Shameless..."

After listening to Ye Chen's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but immediately scold.

It's a threat, it's blackmail.

"Brother Meng De, how can this be, kindly remind you, and say that I am shameless." Ye Chen said with an aggrieved face.

Cao Cao took a few deep breaths, and then said, "Okay, just trade at the current price, I hope you don't play any tricks." ”

Ye Chen shrugged, and then said, "No problem, even if the price of the war horse continues to rise at that time, I will sell it to Brother Meng De at this price even if I lose my money." ”

Cao Cao gave him a blank look, this is cheap and good.

"Haha, Brother Meng De, the deal is negotiated, and neither of us will change due to other factors." Ye Chen hurriedly made a final decision, even if the war horse could not be sold, it would not be smashed in his hands, and he could use it himself, but Ye Chen wanted to improve Cao Cao's strength, contain Yuan Shao, and make money at the same time.

So I'm afraid to settle things quickly.

Then Ye Chen continued: "Brother Meng De, look at the fleet behind me, the entire Han Dynasty, from south to north, let me gallop. ”

Ye Chen turned around and pointed to the domineering fleet and said.

Only then did everyone notice that there was a huge fleet parked on the sea. txttopsho7();
