Ye Chen won a big victory, and got huge benefits, got a lot of money, and the base developed proudly and rapidly, but he was in trouble just after this winter, and it was more accurate that Liu Yu was in trouble.

Liu Yu is a pastor in Youzhou, he is in trouble, of course, he asked the counties to help solve it, Liu Yu has ordered Ye Chen to go to Jixian County to discuss together.

It turned out that the Xiongnu had been invading eastward, seriously threatening Youzhou, this winter was very cold, the Xiongnu's cattle and sheep died in large numbers, so they lacked food, there was a possibility of going south, and Youzhou's defense was empty, once they went south, they resisted very south.

After Liu Yu arrived, he could carry out reforms and sort out Youzhou except for Ye Chen's territory, and soon Youzhou was much more stable.

Liu Yu's identity is relatively special, he is a member of the royal family, and he has strong ability, especially in the development of people's livelihood and economy, but this cannot change the fact that Youzhou is militarily weak.

After Ye Chen received the order, he immediately took a team of escort battalions to Jixian County, but he made some changes before he went, and changed the weapons and equipment of the escort battalion to ordinary ones, and the horses were all ordinary horses.

Ye Chen had just "battled" with Wu Huan, with tens of thousands of casualties, and now if he was wearing high-end equipment, it would not be suitable to look at it.

When he arrived in Jixian County, Liu Yu warmly entertained him and inquired about the situation in Liaodong.

Ye Chen replied to Liu Yu's words, saying that Liaodong's economy is very good, but there are too many dead and wounded in successive battles, there are many wounded, and it is difficult to recruit qualified soldiers, and there are not enough weapons and equipment.

"Youguo, you don't have to fight against the enemy, there are many ways, the war is together, and the people are still suffering." Liu Yu said to Ye Chen earnestly.

"The lower officials are stupid, please make it clear to the state pastor." Of course, Ye Chen knew that Liu Yu was very good to the Xiongnu and Wuhuan in the north when he was in office, and the relationship between the two sides was good.

But Liu Yu had to pay a price when he maintained relations with the north, at least he gave them a lot of food, and if he was too good to them, some of his subordinates objected, and the one who was opposed to it was Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zhan didn't know why he was very disgusted with the nomads in the north, and repeatedly fought with them, which was completely contrary to Liu Yu's strategy, and the contradictions between the two sides accumulated deeper and deeper, and finally reached a situation of endless death.

"Hehe, it's okay, I'll talk about this matter at tomorrow's meeting."

The two sides talked about some internal affairs again, and Liu Yu found that this Ye Chen was very insightful about internal affairs, which greatly changed his image in his heart, and he thought that the other party was a general and a reckless man, and he definitely didn't understand internal affairs.

Liu Yu has always opposed a war with the north, but he has just entered Youzhou, his foundation is unstable, and his familiarity with Youzhou is not as familiar as that of a snake-like figure like Ye Chen.

So Liu Yu recruited Ye Chen, firstly, to familiarize himself with the situation in Liaodong, and secondly, to test him, this Ye Chen is also a powerful figure in Youzhou, although the county he controls is the poorest place in Youzhou, but the Ye family has been operating in Liaodong for almost a hundred years, and has great influence in the entire Youzhou.

"Youguo, I didn't expect you to be so familiar with internal affairs, the old man is very relieved. I don't know what you think about the Northern Xiongnu and Wuhuan. Liu Yu made another tentative speech.

Of course, Ye Chen knew Liu Yu's thoughts, he didn't want to fight at all.

"The Xiongnu and Wuhuan are very powerful, and we have a very hard time dealing with any of them, once the war starts, it will be a disaster, but what can be done, we can't let them into Youzhou." Ye Chen sighed after speaking, shook his head, and behaved helplessly.

"What if the Xiongnu and Wuhuan are not on the border and the two sides live in peace?" Liu Yu asked.

Ye Chen almost jumped up at the moment, and said excitedly: "That feeling is the best, my lord, every time there is a war, many people will die, and the finances of the entire county will be drained, even so, a few months after the war, the pension will not be paid in full." ”

Liu Yu was very happy with Ye Chen's answer, thinking that Ye Chen didn't want to fight. In fact, Ye Chen didn't want to fight, but he didn't want to fight a battle that didn't benefit him, if there was a benefit, Ye Chen was more active than anyone else.

"The Xiongnu and Wuhuan went south, just because they had no food and wanted to go south to plunder grain, as long as we gave them enough food and had a good relationship with them, I don't think they would go south." Liu Yu said.

Ye Chen frowned when he heard this, thinking that it was no wonder that Gongsun Zhan would oppose him, it was estimated that Liu Yu sent them a large amount of grain when he was there, so when Liu Yu was in office, whether it was the Xiongnu or the Wuhuan, they rarely went south to plunder.

However, Liu Yu really has a hand in developing the economy, the economy has developed, there is more food, and it is no problem to give them a part.

But if this matter is left to Ye Chen, food can be given, but he is a businessman, and he always has to exchange, it can be cattle, sheep and horses, it can be fur, and it can be the population, but if you want to get it for free, don't even think about it.

"My lord, now Youzhou is not full of disaster victims, but there are indeed many people who can't eat enough, where is there extra food for them." Ye Chen said with a pained expression.

"Haha, Youguo, you don't have to worry about this, the old man will naturally raise it up, but..."

"My lord, if there is anything that needs to be dismissed, please speak, and I will never give up."

Liu Yu was very happy to see Ye Chen so upright, and said to Ye Chen with a smile: "Xuanwu County is close to Wuhuan, and it is also the place under your jurisdiction, and when the time comes, I hope that Youguo will not start a war lightly, and deal with it." ”

Ye Chen laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, according to Liu Yu's meaning, he would raise food for Wu Huan, and Wu Huan was near his own territory, Liu Yu wanted him to have a good relationship with Wu Huan, and when the time came, this matter would be handled by Ye Chen.

This is a good thing, a great thing, Liu Yu really has a way to raise enough food, Ye Chen is absolutely sure to "reconcile" with Wu Huan, Wu Huan is now wearing a pair of pants with Ye Chen.

Liu Yu handed over the food to Ye Chen, which was equivalent to going into Ye Chen's pocket, which was a great thing, don't blame it for nothing. As for Wu Huan, of course they will not invade south, and even if they want to invade south, I am afraid they will not have enough strength.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will immediately restrain my subordinates when I go back, and retreat ten miles, and I will definitely not fight with Wuhuan, but my subordinates may not be able to delay for too long."

"Don't worry, the old man will be able to raise enough grain and grass soon." Liu Yu was very happy to get Ye Chen, let Ye Chen not fight with Wu Huan, and when his food arrived, it was equivalent to half of the solution.

The remaining half is the Huns, and things are much easier.

Liu Yu was very happy, because Ye Chen's cooperation made things much easier for him, he understood Ye Chen's weight, it can be said that at present, one-third of the entire Youzhou is his sphere of influence, and he has absolute control in the states and counties under his control, and he can't manage too much as a state pastor.

The two talked happily, and Liu Yu also hosted a banquet for Ye Chen in the state pastor's mansion in the evening.
