The entire Youzhou was preparing for war, and many families received the news and began to transfer property and personnel, but only Liaodong did not develop such a thing.

All the families in Liaodong were optimistic that Ye Chen could block Wuhuan, because Wuhuan had gone south to loot before, and Liaodong did not dare to come. As for the Huns, they thought that there were other people to help resist, and even if they couldn't resist it, Ye Chen would be able to resist it.

Ye Chen informed Liu Yu of his preparations before, and now that he received a reply, Liu Yu said harshly, not allowing Ye Chen to take the initiative to fight, and even if Wuhuan wanted to attack, he had to temporarily retreat, and he had to wait for his order to counterattack.

Ye Chen was very angry when he saw it, he was not allowed to take the initiative to attack, he could understand, but he even ordered him to retreat if the other party attacked.

"Fortunately, Liaodong Liu Yu said that it doesn't count, I said it, otherwise he would have been killed." Can we temporarily retreat from the steppe peoples like the Xiongnu and Wuhuan?

No, once this is done, then the cavalry will drive straight in, and they will soon be able to engulf them, and only by resisting them step by step, so that their cavalry cannot play, it is possible to hold them back, and even defeat anything. Or cavalry versus.

After seeing Shenyang City, Ye Chen went straight to Gaoxian County to meet Tai Shici and Zhao Yun.

"Big brother, third brother."

"Second brother" "Second brother." ”

After the three of them saluted each other, they entered the county office.

"Big brother, third brother, let's strengthen the city wall and prepare for war, Wuhuan may have any changes." Although Wuhuan has a good relationship with them, he is an outsider after all, and now he has interests to depend on, but it is also possible that there will be an emergency.

"Second brother, everything is as usual in Wuhuan."

"Yes, second brother, we also sent to inform King Qiao, but King Qiao was very disdainful of us, saying that the Xiongnu were now seriously fighting and did not dare to attack at all." Zhao Yun said.

"Wuhuan people are so slack now? The Huns are always trying to annex them. Ye Chen was very puzzled, this Wuhuan people regarded the Xiongnu as their biggest enemy, how could they be so disdainful of the Xiongnu now.

It was not strange for Tai Shi Ci to be this at all, because he had personally witnessed the changes of the Wuhuan people, so he explained it to Ye Chen.

"Second brother, this Wuhuan people are now greedy for pleasure and live a luxurious life, and many people are not willing to fight at all. In addition, because of the relationship between the heirs of the Xiongnu recently, the infighting is indeed powerful, otherwise the Xiongnu will not continue to move eastward. ”

"Why, now that the Wuhuan people have fallen?"

"Some nobles who are drunk and dreaming all day long are indeed degenerate." Tai Shi Ci replied.

This is Ye Chen's long-term strategy, he wants to abolish Wuhuan through economic means.

Wuhuan now undertakes trade between the north and the south, east and west, and the tribe does not have to worry about food and clothing at all, and there is still good Du Kang wine all day long.

They traded with the Ye family, and also traded with the Xiongnu and Turks, making profits in the middle, and now the trade volume is very large, and Wuhuan has a large amount of money every day, so there is no need to think about life at all.

There is never a shortage of food and clothing in the tribe, and some people can still have Du Kang wine to drink every day, this kind of life is something they did not dare to imagine before.

If you have food and drink, you naturally don't have to rob, and if you can lie down and get money, who is willing to risk your life to rob. Slowly, some nobles were naturally corrupted, and they became accustomed to a luxurious life, and they lost their blood.

In fact, there is a very important point, that is, they have no place to loot if they want to, the Xiongnu and Turks are much stronger than them, and their best raiding object is naturally the Han Dynasty.

But they have Ye Chen blocking them in the south, Ye Chen has put a lot of pressure on them, and they don't dare to rob them if they dare to rob them, if they rob other places in Youzhou, then Ye Chen has thousands of soldiers at the border, and he can easily copy their nest.

In this way, the Wuhuan people have no place to rob, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, they drink wine and eat meat every day, and they are naturally corroded.

Ye Chen believed that in a few years, Wuhuan would definitely be eroded, and it would be difficult to even fight on horseback.

This was a good thing, but Ye Chen still ordered an active defense, continued to strengthen the city wall, and hoarded supplies.

When Ye Chen was basically ready, Gongsun Zhan was also ready, and he quietly moved to the border of western Liaoning with eight thousand soldiers and horses, but after he arrived, he let the soldiers hide and did not take any action.

On Liu Yu's side, while gathering soldiers and strengthening the city wall, he constantly sent people to lobby the Xiongnu, hoping that they would not invade the south.

But this time the Wuhuan people had an ambiguous attitude, and they didn't say they attacked or didn't attack, and later after Liu Yu's several efforts, the Huns asked him for a high price.

Liu Yu couldn't afford it, but Liu Yu still had illusions and continued to lobby, but the Xiongnu never gave the right letter not to invade the south.

Although Liu Yu had been preparing for the military before, he was not active, and now the soldiers are in place, many of them have not undergone decent training, and the material reserves are seriously insufficient.

Liu Yu realized the seriousness of the matter, but he still didn't understand why the Xiongnu had such an attitude this time.

However, if he didn't figure it out, he didn't understand it, Liu Yu stepped up his preparations, and at the same time asked all counties to prepare for the war.

However, it was still too late, except for Ye Chen and Gongsun Zhan, the rest of the county guards did not have a sense of preparation, Liu Yu's identity and prestige were very high, and they all thought that Liu Yu could persuade the Huns.

Just when Liu Yu was caught off guard, a thunderbolt fell on a sunny day.

"What, Zhang Chun colluded with the Huns to rebel." Liu Yu screamed in surprise.

If it's just an external trouble, maybe it can be stopped, but now with internal worries, the whole Youzhou is worried.

Historically, Zhang Chun also rebelled this year, but the difference is that he colluded with Qiu Liju in Wuhuan, and now Qiu Liju was destroyed by Ye Chen, and Zhang Chun actually colluded with the Huns.

In history, in the end, Zhang Chun gathered more than 100,000 people, killed the right Beiping and Liaodong Taishou, and finally garrisoned the troops to plunder Youzhou and Jizhou.

In the end, Zhang Chun surrendered to Liu Yu because of Qiu Liju in the name of Liu Yu, and Zhang Chun was killed by the doorman Wang Zheng.

But now everything has changed, without Qiu Liju, this Zhang Chun actually colluded with the Huns.

When Liu Yu received the news, a mouthful of blood almost spurted out, and at this time he was not only unprepared, but also had to face attacks from both sides.

Gongsun Zan was also shocked when he received the news, he immediately sent 3,000 troops to support Liu Yu, no matter how he and Liu Yu were, Youzhou could not be sacked by the Huns, and with Liu Yu here, the situation would be much better, at least it would not become a plate of loose sand.

And Gongsun Chan led the remaining soldiers and horses to continue to lurk.

When Ye Chen received the news, he knew that the matter was big, and this time Youzhou would not be able to escape this catastrophe no matter what, but how to avoid losses as much as possible in the case of internal and external troubles.

Knowing that the situation was not good, Ye Chen immediately convened a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
