"Meng De, are we mistaken about Ye Chen? Does he really just want to be a businessman? If Qingzhou is divided equally, he will not be moved, and I will be moved. After separation, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but say.

"Yes, when the lord proposed to divide Qingzhou equally, I was moved at the time, one family can't eat Qingzhou, and the two families are combined, this Yuan Shao definitely can't help it." Cao Ren continued.

Ye Chen's statement is difficult to judge, there are two possibilities, he really wants to live a small life with his wives in Youzhou? Or maybe he's making a bigger move. Cao Cao said.

"Lord, no matter what, this Ye Chen is not as simple as it seems, he can support a Youzhou, and he can build such a huge fleet, obviously his vision will not be short-sighted, this is not Qingzhou, I'm afraid there are other reasons." Cheng Yu continued.

Cao Cao nodded when he heard this, and then said: "On the surface, Ye Chen has no ambitions, and it can be seen from spending a lot of money to build a naval army, the naval army can't expand the territory of Liaodong, can't help Youzhou resist foreign enemies, and can only make money for him, but this Ye Chen has gone all the way, step by step, and has never made a big mistake, and then he has become like this, so he I can't see through it." ”

Cao Cao was depressed, there was someone who could make him like this, and he couldn't guess the other party's intentions at all.

After Cao Cao and the others left, Ye Chen and the others also got on the boat.

"Lord, at that time, I was really afraid that you would agree to Cao Cao's request and share Qingzhou with him equally." Waiting for the boat, Xu Shu said.

"Divide Qingzhou equally, this temptation is too great, of course I am tempted, but it is not a good time to take Qingzhou at present, even if it is contaminated, it will cause big trouble, since Yuan Zhi does not agree to share Qingzhou with Cao Cao, then you might as well tell me your reasons." Ye Chen said with a smile, the meaning of the school examination is obvious.

Xu Shu sat on the chair in the cabin, picked up the teacup and took a sip before saying: "This, we have just taken Youzhou, and we haven't fully digested it, and rashly occupying the land of Qingzhou will only become a burden to us." ”

"Second, our army has not yet been fully organized and formed, and the strength is not enough, so such a division of troops in Qingzhou, Youzhou itself is dangerous."

"Thirdly, if we go to occupy Youzhou, Yuan Shao will definitely not let us get what we want, and will definitely send troops to attack us."

"These three reasons are that we can't ask for land in Qingzhou at the moment."

Xu Shu said his three points of use, which made Zhang Liao, Zhang Qing, Hutou and others next to him very impressed, as well as Tian Feng and Zhang Jaw, although they still have resentment towards Ye Chen now, but I have to say that Xu Shu's vision is very good.

"That's right, at this time, the focus of the conflict between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao is Qingzhou, if we intervene, Yuan Shao will definitely regard us as mortal enemies, and when the time comes, not to mention helping Cao Cao share the pressure, it will not be beneficial." Ye Chen continued.

Equally divided Qingzhou, it's just a tempting cake, but the cake is poisonous and must not be touched, otherwise it will definitely fall into it.

Cao Cao was not far away and ventured to Qingzhou to see Ye Chen, in addition to observing the defense of Qingzhou, he wanted to fool Ye Chen and let Ye Chen fight Qingzhou with him, he couldn't eat Qingzhou alone, so it was better to give half to Ye Chen, and he could get half of it.

But Ye Chen was not fooled, and his plan fell through.

Cao Cao and Ye Chen were both big fools, they both wanted to fool each other, and they both threw out huge temptations.

But neither of them was easily fooled.

"Let's go, go to other places in Qingzhou and wander around, so that everyone in Qingzhou knows that we have a huge fleet, not to mention dividing Qingzhou equally in the future, the entire Qingzhou is ours." Ye Chen said.

Everyone nodded, knowing that Ye Chen was not out of Youzhou at the moment, it was just a strategy, just because Youzhou was facing the threat of Liu Bei and Yuan Shao.

At the same time, they also admired it very much, Ye Chen was able to resist this huge temptation at a young age.

After separating from Cao Cao, Ye Chen did not leave in a hurry, but continued to wander around Qingzhou with the fleet, and made big moves from time to time.

Ye Chen made a lot of noise along the way, and he was afraid that others would not know.

Many small princes in Qingzhou sent people to monitor Ye Chen at all times, fearing that Ye Chen would suddenly go ashore and kill him.

However, Ye Chen didn't plan to go ashore to fight, and the supplies along the road didn't need to go ashore, just directly replenish on some islands along the road.

After staying in Qingzhou for a few days, Ye Chen continued to go south after doing enough work.

"Young family master, we have been tinkering in Qingzhou for so long, but we have no benefit at all, and we haven't made a penny." After Ye Chen ordered to leave Qingzhou, the tiger head couldn't help but ask.

In Hutou's opinion, Ye Chen must have made such a big move to fool people, and he must have made a lot of money, but he didn't make a penny, which made Hutou's concept a little uncomfortable.

Ye Chen smiled and didn't speak, he wanted to play a big game of chess this time, making money was secondary, and fooling people was the focus.

So who can he fool?

Fool the powerful princes and let them turn their attention to the water army, maybe some princes don't need it for the time being, such as Yuan Shao, but if he gets Qingzhou, do you want it?

If you want a navy, you need to build a navy, and if you want to build a boat.

If you want to build it yourself, you can't develop it in a few years, so Ye Chen can take the opportunity to sell it, make a lot of money, and also take the lifeblood of the other party's navy in his own hands.

In addition, if the other party is not deceived, it does not matter, this shipbuilding is like an arms race, and it will not develop at all without a few years of investment.

And the Ye family's navigation industry is driven by business and can always make money, so with this motivation, the navigation industry has entered a virtuous circle, even if Ye Chen does not invest in it, the benefits obtained by the navigation industry alone can continue to expand the shipbuilding industry.

Therefore, if any prince is fooled into playing with Ye Chen with the armament of the navy, it must be a tragedy, and when the time comes, he will find that the navy is simply a bottomless pit, and if it cannot make a profit, then it will be a huge burden.

This will drag down the internal affairs, it will drag down the army.

At the same time, Ye Chen also wants to activate the entire Huaxia naval army, let more people participate, and cultivate talents for the future Huaxia Navy.

When others saw that Ye Chen's navigation industry had gained huge benefits, they didn't believe that others would not be blushing and would not develop a water army.

The navy is the navy of the future, even if there is no large-scale training, as long as more people participate, there will always be some talents.

This is the overall situation that Ye Chen wants.

The overall situation is important, of course, making money, and then Ye Chen will continue to make money.

"Lord, there is Xuzhou ahead, Xuzhou is not Qingzhou, now that Xuzhou is stable and prosperous under the control of Tao Qian, should we also dock?" Xu Shu said.

"Docking, Xuzhou Tao Qian doesn't have the guts to do anything to us, besides, my brother-in-law Mi Zhu is now a driver in Xuzhou, and the two of us should also have a good talk and do a big business by the way." Ye Chen said with a smile.

Tao Qian's character is that if you don't mess with him, he will definitely treat him politely, and he has no conflict of interest with Tao Qian, and Tao Qian will not attack him.
