Chapter 320: The Huns Moved

Who is Sun Qian, he is an important figure in Liu Bei's camp in the early days, and is known as the Four Masters of Xuzhou along with Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, and Cao Bao.

Although Sun Qian was named a general by Liu Bei, he was not a material for war, and acted as a strategist and diplomat in Liu Bei's army.

In fact, Sun Gan is better at internal affairs, but Liu Bei has no territory for a long time, so Sun Gan has no room to play, and when Liu Bei later took Shuzhou, Sun Gan died of illness soon after.

After confirming that it was Sun Qian, how could Ye Chen not be happy, he didn't have a relatively good internal affairs talent now, so he could only pull Guo Jia out of the top tank.

"Haha, Gongyou laughed, of course it's no problem. It's just that I've heard of Gongyou's name for a long time, and I've admired it for a long time, but I didn't expect to see it today. ”

"Mr. Gongyou, I have heard of your talent a long time ago, and I want to worship Gongyou as the magistrate of Xuanwu County in the morning, and I hope Gongyou can help me." Of course, this county magistrate has to be appointed by the imperial court, and he has great power, but this is not a problem, as long as Ye Chen is active, this is still Ye Chen's final say.

Sun Qian had already had the intention of being a scholar, showing what he had learned, but he had not found a suitable place, and he did not expect to come to Liaodong to have this courtesy.

"Thanks to the eyes of the adults, let the adults drive." Sun Qian was also very surprised that Ye Chen would let him be the county magistrate.

You must know that Ye Chen has been in Liaodong for a long time, so Xuanwu County is actually let him manage it, and Xuanwu County has a very important strategic position, so it needs to defend against the attack of the northern nomads and protect the security of Liaodong.

Of course, Ye Chen would not make a decision arbitrarily, if it weren't for the fact that there was no way to make him the Taishou of Xuansu County now, Ye Chen would arrange the Taishou for him.

In terms of internal affairs, Xuansu County's requirements are not very high, because the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the population is mainly concentrated in three places, and both places are currently under construction.

Sun Qian also has a good set of logistics management, and now that Ye Chen is hoarding materials in Xuansu County, he also needs someone to control the overall situation.

Originally, Ye Chen mainly let Tai Shi Ci be in charge, but Tai Shi Ci had important tasks, so he couldn't ignore military affairs all the time.

After accepting Sun Qian, Ye Chen was very happy, and talked to him about a lot of internal affairs, and also told him a lot about the concept of Liaodong and the importance of the people.

Especially in the treatment of the people, Liaodong is very different from other places, Ye Chen and they would rather suffer losses themselves than let the people suffer, everything is based on the people.

Sun Qian also agrees with this concept very much, so it is much easier for the two to cooperate, there is no fundamental conflict, then everything else is easy to discuss.

After accepting Sun Qian, Ye Chen was of course very happy, Xuansu County handed it over to him, and he could save a lot of things.

At this time, Ye Chen set his sights on another thing, that is, the autumn harvest.

This autumn harvest is very different, because the entire Liaodong and the other three counties are his territory, after more than a year of development, most of the farmers have farming tools, and the amount of land reclaimed is much more than before.

So this time it will be a bumper harvest, which makes Ye Chen look forward to it very much.

According to statistics, the grain that can be harvested this time is enough for the entire Liaodong to eat for two years. It is said that it can be eaten for two years, because the peasants themselves can only eat grain for two years, because many people can eat for almost two years by cultivating dozens of acres of land at a time, and with the increase in fertilizer yield.

Of course, this has to deduct taxes, and after deducting taxes, you can eat for more than a year, and the good ones can still eat for two years, and the taxes paid are all Ye Chen's, and you don't have to pay them at the court.

The peasants collect more, and of course Ye Chen's taxes will be more, mainly because the food consumption for building the city is too large, otherwise Ye Chen doesn't have to worry about the military rations alone, and the military rations in the tuntian alone can solve most of them.

A good harvest is always gratifying, and Ye Chen immediately ordered some of the stored grain in the Liaodong warehouse to be transported to Xuansu County, and these old grains were consumed first.

"Lord, Sun Zhan, the Taishou Gong of Liaoxi, came to find the Lord, and he is currently in the Taishou Mansion." Ye Chen was inspecting the autumn harvest in Yuxian County, and a soldier from the guard battalion came to report.

"Gongsun Zhan, why is he here?" Ye Chen was puzzled, knowing that Gongsun Chan would not simply come to visit the door, so he immediately rushed back.

That night, Ye Chen rushed to Xiangping and met Gongsun Zan in the Taishou Mansion.

"Brother Gongsun, why did you suddenly come to Liaodong, but what happened." Ye Chen asked.

"Brother Ye, something did happen. My brother came in a hurry, and I had something important to discuss with you. Seeing Ye Chen returning, Gongsun Chan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Gongsun, please speak slowly."

"Brother Ye, there are signs of southern invasion of the Huns, and I got a report that the Huns want to go south to loot after the autumn harvest. Nowadays, the Xiongnu can be seen on many borders in Youzhou. ”

Ye Chen was also shocked when he heard it, he couldn't fully know the dynamics of the Xiongnu, in order to prevent the Xiongnu from suddenly invading south, he asked Wuhuan to put eyeliner hundreds of miles to the west, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

Now that the Xiongnu are not expanding eastward, they are going to invade the south, which is a big deal.

No matter what, Ye Chen had to stop the Xiongnu from invading south, although Ye Chen was sure to hold his own territory and would not suffer too much loss, but the entire Youzhou was Ye Chen's market, if it was looted by the Xiongnu, indirectly, Ye Chen would also suffer a lot of losses.

"Well, this matter is important, what should Brother Gongsun do?" Ye Chen first explored Gongsun Zhan's thoughts.

"Brother Ye, I also know that your pressure is huge, so under my request, you must block Wu Huan, drag them down, and don't let them go south, otherwise we will be attacked on both sides." Gongsun Chan said solemnly to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, it was not difficult for him to deal with Wu Huan, now he and Wu Huan are actually wearing the same pants, but outsiders don't know it yet.

In fact, Ye Chen is also very willing to help the entire Youzhou deal with the Huns, but his first task is to protect the entire Liaodong forces from damage, under this premise, Ye Chen, who can help, will definitely not refuse.

"What do you mean?" Ye Chen suddenly thought that Gongsun Chan didn't mention Liu Yu, now Youzhou is in charge of Liu Yu after all, his opinion is very important, Ye Chen doesn't want this kind of big thing, and discusses it with his Gongsun Zhan.

"At present, Lord Zhou Mu still fantasizes about reconciliation with the Huns, and we will continue to provide them with food so that they do not go south. The state pastor wants to befriend the Huns, but the Huns are a wolf, a wolf who can't be fed, if they continue to give food, it will only make them stronger, and the harm will be greater in the future. Gongsun Chan said angrily.

Ye Chen understood as soon as he heard it, this Liu Yu did not agree to fight, and Gongsun Zan wanted to fight, and then he was afraid that the Wuhuan people would threaten Liaoxi, so he came to Ye Chen.

"It's true that the Huns are not familiar with it, but what are the odds of winning the fight now, if it can be delayed for a year and train thousands of more soldiers and horses, I think it will be much easier by then."

From the bottom of his heart, Ye Chen doesn't want to fight, now his career is thriving, and his strength is growing stronger day by day, if he is given another year, Ye Chen will have the ability to expand the army, and then he will have more hole cards.

Now Ye Chen has 8,000 soldiers and horses, 2,000 to defend Liaodong, and 6,000 to defend at the border, and his strength is still a little weak, basically only enough to defend, and it is difficult to attack.
