"Get out, let's talk about compromising with Ye Chen, there will be no mercy."

In the end, Dong Zhuo still didn't kill Li Ru, after all, Li Ru had to deal with all the big and small things that moved west to Chang'an.

Li Ru crawled out of Dong Zhuo's tent with a roll, and after he came out, he found that his whole body was wet.

Ye Chen and the others slept on land for a long time and regained their strength.

"My lord, can you be inside?"

Ye Chen woke up and was sitting in the tent without incident.

At this time, someone outside the tent was looking for him.

"Oh, Bonghyo is back, please come in."

Ye Chen was surprised to hear that it was Guo Jia who came to find him.

"Fengxiao is dusty, hard work." When Guo Jia came in, Ye Chen found that he had lost some weight and his beard was messy, obviously he had been busy recently.

"Do things for the Lord, don't say hard." Guo Jia said modestly: "This time, Mrs. Zhang Ning also came over, but she is still arranging other matters." ”

Previously, Zhang Ning probed the intelligence of the Allied forces around Luoyang, and provided intelligence support to Zhang Qing and Hutou, making it easier for them to act.

The two of them exchanged polite words, and then sat down.

"Fengxiao, tell me, how is the Luoyang area? How about the Allies? "Although there has been news from time to time recently, Ye Chen has not received complete information, and his understanding of the situation in front of him is not very detailed.

"My lord, among the princes of Kwantung, except for Cao Cao, who led his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo, the rest of them did not move. In addition, Sun Jian and his people have been outside Luoyang City, and now Luoyang is still in flames, no one dares to enter, and the rest of the princes have not moved.

”

"In addition, it has been found that many princes have no intention of continuing to fight, and they all want to go back, among which Yuan Shu is particularly anxious."

Guo Jia briefly talked about the intelligence of the allies.

The actions of the Kwantung princes were completely expected by Ye Chen, and the reason why Yuan Shu was in a hurry to go back was because of the fire in Nanyang's backyard, Ye Chen's economic attack on Nanyang, and now the people's livelihood there is withering, and they are almost about to rebel.

"Once Dong Zhuo arrives in Chang'an, the allied forces will almost be disbanded, and none of them really want to raise troops to fight against Dong Zhuo, not to mention them, how are the displaced people currently resettled?"

Guo Jia looked tired, but he still cheered up and said: "Lord, we have transferred more than half of the ships in Liaodong here, and we have transported back hundreds of thousands of people, and I believe that there are mature methods in Liaodong for the resettlement work, and there is no problem at all." ”

"Hundreds of thousands of people, although they have lost their homes, they are still lucky compared to the people on the other side."

The people on the other side that Ye Chen said refer to the people who were coerced to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo, many people have died on the road, and a large number of people are still dying every day, and the final estimate that they can get to Chang'an is less than 100,000.

Ye Chen sighed and quickly recovered, lamenting was useless, he was trying to save them.

"How is Nanyang? How is Jizhou? ”

"Lord, now Nanyang's economy is on the verge of collapse, the tiger head led people to wreak havoc in Nanyang and the surrounding areas of Nanyang, robbing a large amount of grain, coupled with our hostile acquisition, now the price of food is soaring, compared with the beginning has risen twice."

"In addition, the salt in Nanyang has been monopolized by us, salt dumping, recovery of a large number of coins, Nanyang to a certain extent there is a money shortage, many people began to flee, but we set up some points on the road to help these people find a foothold, there is no place to go, most of them are taken back to Liaodong.

”

Although the Ye family purchased a large amount of grain before, most of these grains were in the hands of some families, so most of this money fell into the pockets of the family, and then dumped salt, the biggest buyers of salt were ordinary people, and these people used a lot of money to buy salt, so that the money in the hands of the people decreased, and slowly formed a money shortage.

Grain prices have risen sharply, and the people cannot bear it, so they naturally have to flee the famine.

"Okay, Nanyang did a good job, Yuan Shu must not have thought that this situation would be the case when Yuan Shu drove me out of the allied camp. How is Jizhou now? ”

"My lord, Jizhou is a little unsustainable now. First of all, salt dumping is impossible, Jizhou is too big, the population is large, our salt inventory is not much, can not play a big role, in addition to the purchase of a lot of grain, but Jizhou is rich in products, the impact is not very great. ”

Ye Chen nodded and said that he understood, the strength of Liaodong today is not enough, and it is not enough to shake the entire Jizhou by relying on these economic attacks alone.

However, although there was no economic collapse in Jizhou, grain prices still rose by seventy or eighty percent, which was partly caused by the war, and the Allied forces raised a large amount of grain and grass in Jizhou, which led to an increase in grain prices, and partly because of the economic attack from Liaodong.

"The attack on Jizhou is not very effective with such a simple attack, wait for us to free up our hands and then take care of it slowly, now we will deal with the matter in front of us first, what does Feng Xiao have to suggest?"

What Ye Chen asked was, of course, how to deal with Dong Zhuo.

"Lord, Dong Zhuo knows very well that we are only infantry, we can only sneak attack, as long as they defend some important places, the rest will not be a big deal if we let us attack, so it is a little difficult to force Dong Zhuo to compromise."

Recently, Ye Chen is also at a loss, although he is currently in the active position and has won several victories, but he still does not pose much threat to Dong Zhuo, this loss, Dong Zhuo can afford to lose.

discussed with Guo Jia for a long time, mainly discussing how to attack Dong Zhuo, and the two of them refined a lot of details and formulated several plans for sneak attacks.

Dong Zhuo is not having a good time now, there is Ye Chen next to him who threatens them all the time, and Cao Cao will do a lot of momentum in the back.

Cao Cao made a wide range of flags and bluffed.

In the back, horses dragged branches, puffed up puffs of smoke and dust, and camouflaged a large number of troops.

In addition, he had the soldiers use ropes, and one person shook many branches at the same time, disguised as if there were a large number of troops among the bushes.

The Xiliang army couldn't figure out how many allied troops there were behind them, so they sent tens of thousands of troops to defend in the rear.

......

Ye Chen discussed with Guo Jia for a long time, both of them were a little tired, and planned to go out for a walk and breathe.

"Lord, it seems to be raining heavily this day."

Out of the tent, Guo Jia found that the sky suddenly darkened, and it was raining heavily.

"Heavy rain, heavy rain?" Ye Chen muttered two sentences in a daze.

"Yes, heavy rain, once it rains heavily, then it will be more difficult for Dong Zhuo and them, maybe we can force them to compromise." Guo Jia said happily.

He had made many plans with Ye Chen to attack Dong Zhuo before, but even if these plans were successful, they could only delay Dong Zhuo's march and did not pose a mortal threat.

However, this heavy rain is definitely a mortal threat to Dong Zhuo.
