Sure enough, as Ye Chen expected, Ju Yi ordered 30,000 troops to rush to Bingzhou, and Bingzhou only had more than 10,000 troops, half of which were recruits.

Moreover, although Ye Chen got several counties in the annexed state, he did not have the ability to develop them at the same time, and the city was not strong.

After Ju Yi sent 30,000 soldiers and horses, the rest of the army was watching from the sidelines, ready to besiege and kill the army sent by Youzhou to support at any time.

"Lord, Ju Yizhen is going to Bingzhou, should we go to support General Yunchang." Zhang Yi said with his fists clenched.

Xu Huang was eager to try, but he knew that he was bringing heavy infantry, and under normal circumstances, he was defending the city.

Ye Chen waved his hand, sat down on the main seat, and then said in a deep voice: "Ju Yi just wants us to divide the troops, and at the same time we also want him to divide the troops, if he tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are together, we have no way to speak, we can only fight with them, although we can fight him, but it is very uneconomical, we still have to develop." ”

Ye Chen's vision is always from other angles, even if he wins the war, but he loses the family foundation that he has developed so hard, Ye Chen also feels very lost.

So it's better to fight quickly, and then continue to develop the economy after the fight, make more money, equip more troops, and then develop it, and then fight for world dominance.

Several subordinates were stunned by Ye Chen's thoughts, everyone was thinking about how to deal with Ju Yi's tricks, and Ye Chen was already thinking about what would happen after the victory.

This is the difference in height, Ye Chen is a leader, and he always has to stand at the highest place to look at things.

Others are generals, or commanders, and they should think about how to fight a good battle or war.

"Second brother, although this Yuan Shaojun is divided into two parts, there are not a few armies in both parts, and we can't eat it all the way in a short time." Tai Shi Ci said.

Ye Chen also knew this truth, although the army attacking Bingzhou was only 30,000, it was the most difficult to eat, if he wanted to eat those 30,000 people, he would have to go on an expedition and stay away from the base.

But the army led by Ju Yi is not easy to eat, Ju Yi has great talents, and at the same time there are many troops.

"Then there are only two ways, one is to continue to let Ju Yi divide his troops, and the other is to lure him to Dai County and kill him." Ye Chen said.

A few people thought about it, and now there are only these two methods, but neither method is so easy to achieve.

Ju Yi suffered a big loss first, although the morale of the army was high, but it was still a big loss.

In the future, if you want Ju Yi to fight a siege war with them, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to fight for consumption.

At the same time, Ju Yi also understands the advantages and disadvantages of Youzhou, and will definitely not be easily fooled.

A few people thought about it for a long time but couldn't do anything.

In the end, Ye Chen said: "There is no way inside, so we will jump out and solve it from the outside." ”

Immediately, Ye Chen provided a new idea.

The external solution is actually very simple, forcing Ju Yi to fight them from other places.

Several people admired Ye Chen's thinking.

Ye Chen may not be the most powerful in terms of specific strategies, but in terms of the overall situation, in the entire Youzhou, and even they found that there is no one in the whole world who can compare to Ye Chen.

Then several people began to discuss, and with Ye Chen's guidance on their thinking, they quickly found a way.

It's just that this method is a combination of punches, which is not so easy to do in a short period of time, and they need time.

Time, Ye Chen has, but at the same time, Cao Cao must also have time.

Cao Cao can't fail, if he fails, Yuan Shao will raise the power of a big victory, and hundreds of thousands of troops will be aimed at Youzhou, and then Ye Chen's pressure will be extremely huge.

So, both sides are consumed.

This consumption is half a month, and the two sides have only been in contact a few times in the past half a month, and no major war has broken out.

Huang Zhong led his army in front and slowly retreated, usually resisting for a day or even half a day at most.

And Ju Yi is not radical, steady and steady.

However, the attack on Bingzhou was a rapid march along the way, occupying a county in Bingzhou in half a month.

After occupying a county, Ju Yi was not happy, because Ye Chen still did not move.

If Ye Chen doesn't attack, then his strategic intentions can't be realized, even if he wins the entire merger, it doesn't mean much to him.

"Youzhou Army, it's not easy to deal with."

Ju Yi sighed deeply, he laid out it like this, and the soldiers and horses in Youzhou just didn't move.

They didn't move, and they didn't dare to move.

At the same time, he didn't have a chance to move even if he wanted to.

After half a month of stalemate, Ju Yi became a little impetuous, and it was not good for him to be in a stalemate all the time.

Unlike Ju Yi, who was a little uneasy, Ye Chen was very calm.

On this day, he once again summoned Tai Shici and several other generals, and then said: "Ju Yi has not moved for half a month, and our layout has almost begun, and then Ju Yi may be forced to act, this is our opportunity, so we must prepare first." ”

Tai Shici said: "Second brother, I can send troops, cooperate with Han Sheng, and let Ju Yi act." ”

Ye Chen waved his hand, and then said: "No, only if I go in person can I have enough temptation to make Ju Yi choose between sending troops and not sending troops." ”

When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he also felt reasonable, knowing that Ye Chen's personal strength was extremely high, plus he had a lot of troops in his hands, and he was in the rear to support him at any time, Tai Shi Ci did not stop Ye Chen.

In the end, Ye Chen decided to lead the personal guard battalion and 10,000 infantry to join Huang Zhong.

However, Ye Chen did not act immediately, but waited for another news.

This news is very important, and it is related to the decision of Ju Yi whether or not to send troops.

Then he waited for the news, until two days later, when the news came, Ye Chen gathered everyone again and said happily: "Zilong burned a large amount of grain and grass for Yuan Shao on the border of Qingzhou, and now Yuan Shao has to suspend the attack. ”

Yes, this is the news that Ye Chen was waiting for.

More than half a month ago, he ordered Zhao Yun to attack, looking for an opportunity to attack Yuan Shao's grain and grass.

Zhao Yun had long been lying in ambush along the border, waiting for an opportunity.

And Yuan Jun thought that if he sent 100,000 troops to invade Youzhou, Ye Chen would definitely do his best to deal with it, and he would definitely not take the initiative to send troops at this time, so the defense of Youzhou was insufficient, so Zhao Yun led 10,000 cavalry and burned a large amount of grain and grass for them.

Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses consisted of 5,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters, plus 5,000 cavalry drawn from Wuhuan, and the mobility was very high.

When Yuan Shao received a large amount of grain and grass that had been burned and had to suspend his actions, he didn't know how angry he was.

was so angry that he led his troops to destroy Youzhou first, but was dissuaded by his men.

Although Yuan Shao was dissuaded and did not send troops to attack Youzhou, he ordered Ju Yi to march in revenge against Youzhou.

This is also what Ye Chen estimated before, judging that Yuan Shao would not give up Qingzhou, but would choose Qingzhou, which was relatively easy and relatively wealthy.

Ye Chen couldn't mobilize Ju Yi, but Yuan Shao could, so he came up with this method.
