Chapter 298: Gongsun Zhan
The next day, Liu Yu dressed up and officially held a meeting in the state pastoral mansion.
The meeting was attended by the county guards and some officials of the state chaplain's office.
"Youguo, come, come to the old man's side." Liu Yu beckoned Ye Chen with a smile.
Many of the officials below knew Ye Chen, and they were not surprised by Liu Yu's actions, because Ye Chen was the second biggest guy in Youzhou.
The biggest is of course Liu Yu, the state pastor, but in addition to Liu Yu, the one with the greatest power and strength present is Ye Chen. He controlled the land of the four counties alone, although it was the poorest county in Youzhou before, but Ye Chen had a high degree of power in these counties, and almost all the military and political power was in his hands.
Ye Chen came to Liu Yu's side, and then saluted the other officials.
Then the meeting began, and first Liu Yu listened to the situation of the counties.
After listening to the situation in each county, Liu Yu began to speak.
"At present, the situation in the counties is not very good, and after you go back, you will be advised to teach agriculture, and you need to urge the counties to ensure the cultivation of farmland, and if any county does not do it, it will be punished."
Then Liu Yu arranged the internal affairs in detail, Ye Chen had to admire Liu Yu when he heard it, it was not unreasonable for him to be able to govern Youzhou well, at least in internal affairs, Liu Yu was definitely a good hand.
Although many ideas lag behind Liaodong, they are very suitable for the current Youzhou, and Liu Yu's identity is prestigious, and Liu Yu's identity is enough to suppress the mountains of Youzhou.
"Youzhou is now suffering from internal and external troubles, internal troubles need to be slowly planned, and external troubles cannot be delayed. Then he commanded the counties to prepare for war and to keep the Gentiles out. ”
"Order Liaodong to guard Ye Chen too much, and don't take the initiative to attack, but if Wuhuan dares to go south, you need to fight back for me."
"Yes, the subordinate will receive the order." Ye Chen stood up and replied loudly.
"Order Liaoxi Taishou Gongsun Zan to immediately organize 5,000 soldiers and horses, once the Xiongnu dare to go south, it is necessary to ensure that the people can evacuate safely."
"Yes, sir."
Gongsun Chan? It turned out to be Gongsun Zhan, or Liaoxi Taishou.
Ye Chen was very surprised, seeing that Gongsun Zhan looked like a tiger's back, his momentum was extraordinary, his resolute face was full of wind and frost, and he looked like a person who practiced martial arts all year round.
Ye Chen never thought that Gongsun Zhan still came to Youzhou, and instead of becoming the Taishou of Liaodong, he became his neighbor.
Let's not talk about Gongsun Zhan, this Liu Yu is obviously preparing with both hands, if he can't stop the Xiongnu and Wuhuan from going south, he plans to resist by force, at least not let them plunder the people of Youzhou.
Liu Yu could only rely on Ye Chen and Gongsun Zhan, he had just come to Youzhou, and he didn't have soldiers in his hands, but to Ye Chen's surprise, Liu Yu actually gave Gongsun Chan so much power and asked him to arm 5,000 soldiers.
The meeting lasted all day, and Liu Yu arranged the entire Youzhou, from the economic, military and other contents of the detailed arrangement.
Ye Chen also admired Liu Yu, how could he come up with the entire Youzhou plan in a short period of time, and many of the contents were indeed effective, as long as the officials below could implement it in place.
Ye Chen didn't pay attention to Liu Yu's decree at all, because he did a better job than Liu Yu, Liu Yu had only been in Youzhou for two months after all, and Liaodong already had its own system.
After the meeting, Liu Yu invited all the officials to a banquet, and during the banquet, Ye Chen had a relationship with Gongsun Zhanla in addition to dealing with officials from all sides, because the two went back in the same direction and agreed to go back together.
Ye Chen planned to go back the next day, but now that Liaodong is in a mess, he has left Liaodong for a few days, and it will take three or four days to go back.
The next day, he asked Gongsun Chan to go back with him. Gongsun Chan took a few entourages and drove lightly.
"Brother Ye, your 100 soldiers are amazing, the elite of the elite are all elite soldiers of a hundred battles." Gongsun Chan had been paying close attention to the 100 guard battalions all the way, and said with sincere admiration.
"Alas, there is no way, Liaodong not only has many bandits, but also is often invaded by Wuhuan, these hundred elite soldiers are all out of battle, how sad are they." Ye Chen said dejectedly.
Gongsun Zhan agreed with this, he also knew that Liaodong was not easy, and said to Ye Chen: "These alien races, they should all be eradicated." Now that Youzhou is weak, the state pastor has adopted a strategy of delaying the army, and when our strength is strong, I will definitely lead the troops to completely eliminate them. ”
Listening to Gongsun Zhan's murderous words, Ye Chen shuddered in his heart, not because he was frightened, but because he didn't know whether Liu Yu lied to him, or whether Gongsun Chan guessed by himself.
Because historically, Liu Yu did not want to delay the army, but planned to improve relations with the Xiongnu and Wuhuan, and did not want to fight at all.
Ye Chen also agreed with Liu Yu's decision, but he didn't agree with his method, Ye Chen thought that if he wanted to convince them, he would trade with them, he could give them food, but he had to exchange things for it.
Ye Chen's strategy is to slowly control them through commerce, just like Wu Huan, who is now controlled by him, but this is on the basis of force, and they must be subdued first, so that they know that if they can't grab it, even if they can grab it, they will pay a heavy price.
He and Gongsun Chan have similarities and differences, Gongsun Chan is very hostile to foreign races, and has a lot of ********, and his attitude towards them is to eliminate them together, but Ye Chen is different, if he can accept it, he will accept it, and if he can't accept it, he will drive it away. If you dare to provoke him, resolutely eliminate him.
The two exchanged a lot of views along the way, and Ye Chen found that Gongsun Chan had a good set of rules for governing the army, and was very familiar with military affairs, so the two of them cherished each other.
"Brother Ye, brother, I do have difficulties, Lord Zhou Mu gave me a quota of 5,000 people, people are easy to recruit, but weapons and equipment horses are not easy to purchase." Gongsun Chan sighed and said that he hoped that the army could be formed immediately, and then go north to kill the enemy.
"Oh, don't worry, Brother Gongsun, how much is missing, I can support you a little." Ye Chen's words can be clearly said, it is only a small part of support, and it is okay to be a favor, but it is okay to spend a lot of money to do a favor, Ye Chen does not do it.
The two are located in Liaodong and Liaoxi, and once the Xiongnu really invade, the two may have to join forces, so Ye Chen doesn't mind sending some equipment to make a good relationship.
"Alas, I'm afraid Brother Ye can't help, Lord Zhou Mu said that he can give enough money to buy equipment, but where to buy it is really a problem, weapons and equipment can be manufactured slowly, but horses can only be purchased from the grassland, but there is no channel for a while. If you buy it slowly and add training, you won't be able to achieve combat effectiveness in a year. ”
Gongsun Chan was very anxious, but he couldn't buy enough equipment and horses right away if he had money.
"Oh, I see, but it's easy to do with money, and there are some channels under which you can buy it on your behalf, and the price won't be high." So Ye Chen reported the price of weapons and equipment and horses to Gongsun Zhan.
Gongsun Zhan frowned and didn't speak when he heard this, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence: "Brother Ye, the price is so low, how is the quality?" You can't joke with the lives of soldiers. ”
