"My lord."

This time they came very well, in addition to Guan, Taishi, and Zhao, Guo Jia, Xu Huang and Zhang Qing also arrived.

"Fengxiao, let's talk about your situation first."

Guo Jia clenched his fists and saluted everyone, and then said: "Lord, our fleet has been cruising back and forth on the Yellow River in the past few days, which has made Dong Zhuo's army nervous, and a large number of their sentries and troops are circling around our fleet. ”

Ye Chen nodded and thought for a while and said, "The infiltration speed should be accelerated, it is best to infiltrate two thousand people into it, I guess the battle situation may change a lot." ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he nodded yes, but no matter how he thought about it, he didn't think of any factors that would cause changes on the battlefield.

Of course, Ye Chen would not tell Guo Jia Dong Zhuo to move the capital, because there was no such sign at present, and he had not received relevant information, and Ye Chen didn't know how to explain it, so it was also very beneficial to maintain his mystery.

The most important thing about infiltration is to be secretive, so it must be dispersed, so that the speed is not fast.

After Guo Jia finished reporting, Zhang Qing began to report.

"My lord, the first batch of counterfeit money shipped has been used out, and there are no problems at present."

Ye Chen nodded, he was not surprised by this, the quality of the counterfeit coins made in Liaodong was not bad, and even better than that of the imperial court, after all, the technology of Liaodong was more advanced, but there was no template for the imperial court coinage, and it could not be made exactly the same.

"What impact does it have on Nanyang?" Ye Chen has a grudge, Yuan Shu drove him out of the allied camp and robbed him of his food, this revenge must be avenged.

"My lord, we have bought a large amount of grain in Nanyang, which directly supplies our army, as well as refugees, so that we don't have to travel thousands of miles from Liaodong. As a result of our large purchases, the price of grain in Nanyang has risen by about 20%. Zhang Qing said excitedly, this may be another classic case, let him operate, of course he was excited.

"Twenty percent." Ye Chen was not satisfied, so it only rose by two percent, what Ye Chen wanted was to put Nanyang on the verge of collapse and let food and other strategic materials rise to an unbearable level.

"How's the salt situation?" Ye Chen asked again.

"Salt has begun to be put on the market, our salt is of good quality, low price, very advantageous, but the time is still short, and it has not caused much impact for the time being."

Food and salt can impact the local economy, but if you don't eat salt for a while, there will be no problems, plus it is a cooperation with some local snakes, and it can't be blatantly done, so the effect is understandable.

"Is there a safety problem?" Now the effect is not obvious, but it cannot be ruled out that after the collapse of Nanyang's economy.

"Lord, in fact, the power of the local family is still quite large, and it is not so easy for us to shake the local economy, because the local family has already transported grain from other places, so it will not be able to shake it for a while." Zhang Qing said.

The cost of transporting grain from other places has already increased, but it is not enough to shake the economy of the entire place, Ye Chen's purpose is to make Yuan Shu go back and become a mess, leaving him with no food, no money, and no enough soldiers.

Now that the battle against Dong is approaching the late stage, there is not a lot of time for him to operate, so he must speed up.

"It's okay, go back and continue to increase the purchase of grain, Nanyang is not far from here, all of them will be transported over, or transported to Hutou." Ye Chen thought of the tiger head, and felt that the tiger head should also move, and asked him to establish a base in Songshan next to Yingchuan, and now he has more than 2,000 people.

Hutou's contributions in the past few years are not small, the most important thing is to provide secret help to Luoyang, and the land in Yingchuan can provide a lot of food for Liaodong every year.

Ye Chen pulled his thoughts back and continued: "After a large amount of grain is purchased, the price of grain will inevitably rise, and we will throw out a large amount of salt, which will take back the money in the market, causing a shortage of money, but because we buy grain and provide a lot of money to the market, it will not be obvious for the time being, and once we withdraw, a large amount of grain and money will flow out, and they will really have no food and no money in the future." ”

"Hiss~"

A few people secretly took a breath, and secretly said that this trick is really big enough, once Nanyang is made by Ye Chen like this, Yuan Shu will go back, and the cost of raising grain and grass will be very high, and now it will only rise by two percent, and it will continue to rise later, and Nanyang will have a large amount of money outflow, resulting in less taxes that Yuan Shu can collect, so that Yuan Shu's operation will have big problems.

Although Guo Jia has a high IQ and first-class strategy, he also has to admire Ye Chen, he can still play like this when he hits his opponent, and he doesn't know what is going on when he is played to death.

The meeting was held for a long time, and then it was mainly formulated how to accept the displaced people more efficiently, and now in the vicinity of Luoyang, more than 50,000 displaced people have been accepted back to Liaodong in the past two months, and more than 50,000 displaced people have joined Liaodong, which has a very big effect.

When Ye Chen held a meeting on how to harm Nanyang and increase the efforts to recruit displaced people, Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao were not having a good time, after a few days of fierce fighting, the two sides had already suffered more than 100,000 casualties, and the logistical pressure was also very great.

"Taishi, in such a fierce battle, we have few troops, and we can't bear it, so we have to find a way to slow down." Li Ru found Dong Zhuo and said to Dong Zhuo.

"Can the Allies listen to me and let them not attack if they don't attack?" Dong Zhuo also knew that although he had a lot of soldiers and horses, he also had a lot of places to garrison, and only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were used in the Tiger Pass, while the allied troops were many and took turns to attack, causing the defenders on the Tiger Pass to be very tired, and the casualties had increased a lot in the past two days.

"Master, the son-in-law has a way."

Dong Zhuo turned his face to Li Ru and said, "Come on." ”

"At the beginning, Ye Chen said that as long as we hand over the refugees at Tiger Pass, then he can guarantee that the two sides will suspend the fighting, and we will delay for a few days at that time, and take the opportunity to let the army rest."

Dong Zhuo patted the armrest of the chair and said loudly, "Okay, you can do it immediately." ”

A day and a half later, Li Ru quickly sent someone to deliver the letter to Ye Chen.

"I think Dong Zhuo wants to use a delaying tactic." Looking at the letter, coupled with the news from the Tiger Prison Pass, Ye Chen knew that the delivery of refugees to Ye Chen was just because of the tight combat strength in front and the delay for some reason.

"Immediately write to Li Ru, ask him to inform the time and number of refugees to be delivered, and ask him to gather people in the Tiger Prison Pass before delivery, and tell him that the delivery time is only one day, if the number of people is too small, wait for the number of people to be settled together."

Ye Chen knew very well that it would be good for him to let Dong Zhuo spend more time with the Kwantung princes, he could continue to make small moves behind the princes' backs, but he would definitely not reverse the situation on the battlefield, and it would be impossible for Dong Zhuo to turn the tables.
