made a fortune in Xuzhou, so it is natural to transport the wealth back first, and then turn it into the strength of Youzhou.

Ye Chen was stationed in several county towns around the wharf, and these county towns became Ye Chen's territory.

During this period, Mi Zhu came to him, he invested in Lu Bu, became Lu Bu's rich man, and still served as a special driver, but Mi Zhu knew that Lu Bu was not from Xuzhou, and it was impossible to believe in him like Tao Qian, or that he would not regard him as a real descendant.

So Mi Zhu came to find Ye Chen just to leave a way back.

First of all, Mi Zhu transported part of his wealth to Youzhou and sent people to Youzhou for development, and Mi Zhu responded to Ye Chen's call to develop in the south.

Mi Zhu still doesn't understand why Ye Chen insists on developing in the south, his territory is in the north, although there is a Dongyi in the south, but until now, no one in Dongyi has paid attention to it.

So Mi Zhu didn't understand, but if he didn't understand, he didn't understand, and Mi Zhu still arranged for some people to go to the south with money to develop.

Ye Chen tried his best to develop the south, with good intentions.

In front of him, it is to give the whole of China one more place to develop, although he is confident that the Wuhu Chaohua will not appear again, but it is also good for the Chinese nation to have a little more space for development.

From a distant point of view, the development of the south is still benefiting Ye Chen.

In addition to Mi Zhu's visit, there was also Chen Palace.

Chen Gong's purpose is also simple, that is, to test when Ye Chen will leave Xuzhou.

Ye Chen is here, and Lu Bu is going to divide his troops to defend him, so he can't let go of his hands and feet.

However, Ye Chen really had no intention of staying in Xuzhou and not leaving, he was now working hard to transport the people, and the 250,000 people could not be transported overnight, and they had to be transported back and forth several times.

In order to ensure that everyone arrives safely, Ye Chen's boat is not very loaded with a lot, and it will not be particularly crowded, which will take longer.

"My lord, one more trip, we will have transported all the people, what are we going to do next?" Guan Yu asked.

"All go to Dongyi." Ye Chen said.

The generals were a little puzzled when they heard this, although this time they got 350,000 people to Dongyi, it was enough to have Zhang Liao's 10,000 troops to go back to the town, and his 15,000 troops were best to return to Youzhou, but Ye Chen planned to go to Dongyi.

Ye Chen glanced at it, and the crowd was puzzled, and he said: "I received news a few days ago that Yuan Shu raised troops to attack Cao Cao, maybe we can make some fuss on this, even if it doesn't work, we will run for nothing." ”

When he returned to Youzhou and wanted to come out, his speed was much slower, and if Ye Chen was hidden in Dongyi, once the situation changed, he could react quickly.

Everyone listened to their doubts and obeyed Ye Chen's arrangement.

After all the people were transported back, Ye Chen and the others also left Youzhou and went to Dongyi.

Dongyi has changed greatly, and Dongyi is in full swing at this time.

There are those who build workshops, those who reclaim farmland, and those who open roads.

In short, with a population and no foreign interference, Taiwan's construction is very fast.

Not to mention the others, the first group of people to come have already lived a life of food and clothing.

I dare not say that there is no problem with food and clothing, because here in Taiwan, the climate is very good, and there is a lot of grain production.

In the absence of harsh government, the people have no problem at all in getting enough to eat, and even have a lot of food left over every year.

After arriving in Taiwan, Ye Chen asked the soldiers to start rest and train, and he also began to pay attention to the changes in the princes.

"Lord, I'm afraid this Yuan Shu is going to be defeated, although he is aggressive, but Cao Cao has countless capable people, he went to attack Cao Cao, he is really asking for hardship." Xu Shu said.

"That's right, Yuan Shu doesn't have many advantages, and fighting Cao Cao in this case is indeed looking for death." Ye Chen didn't know what stupidity this Yuan Shu had committed, and he actually sent troops to attack Cao Cao.

Now that Yuan Shu's attack is unfavorable, the situation has been reversed by Cao Cao, and the defeat is a foregone conclusion, it is only a matter of time.

As in history, the result of this war was Yuan Shu's defeat, but in history, Yuan Shu attacked Cao Cao in 193, and now it is more than a year late.

"My lord, in this case, if you want to benefit from it, I'm afraid you have to act as soon as possible." Xu Shu said to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded first, then shook his head and said, "There is no profit in this war, at most it is just to ask both of them to sell some equipment, and the benefits are not big." ”

Xu Shu didn't speak, if it was really as Ye Chen said, then they would come to Taiwan in vain this time.

"The loss of Yuan Shu in this battle will not be small, and when we come back, we will definitely find a way to recover our strength as soon as possible, which gives us a chance. Contact Sun Ce immediately, and we will support him with the equipment of 5,000 men and horses, and let him form an army. ”

At this time, Sun Ce had about 3,000 soldiers and horses, plus the territory of a county, and was currently subordinate to Yuan Shu.

Ye Chen let Sun Ce develop, then Yuan Shu would definitely replenish his strength from Sun Ce.

It's just that at present, Sun Ce is not so easy to control, and Yuan Shu can only give Sun Ce an independent leader, instead of asking all his soldiers and horses to pass.

As Ye Chen expected, in December 194, Yuan Shu was defeated.

After the defeat retreated, Yuan Shu began to recruit troops to recover his strength, but it was not so easy.

After coming back, Yuan Shu could only reuse Sun Ce and restore his strength.

Sun Ce was reused in Yuan Shu, and Ye Chen's arrangement also played a role.

"Use Sun Ce to increase his influence, lord, at present, we have controlled a part of the economy on both sides of the Yangtze River, and if we infiltrate for a few more years, it is estimated that we can control them." Xu Shu said excitedly.

Ye Chen has been developing the economy of the south over the years, and now the economy along the Yangtze River is booming, which has a lot of credit to Ye Chen, but Ye Chen has also gained huge benefits from it.

Xu Shu admired it very much, and it was no problem for him to play tricks and the like, but he couldn't let him control the economy of one side.

"It's not that simple, we can't control the economy of these princes, but we can give them great influence at critical times, at least give them a false illusion of vanity, so that they can't judge their own strength."

Ye Chen understands very well that in this kind of feudal society, as long as you can't control the food and iron tools, you can't control the army, Ye Chen has no ability to control these, he just infiltrates from other aspects.

But if Ye Chen wants to sabotage and destroy all the economies on both sides of the Yangtze River, the income of the princes will be greatly reduced, and there will not be enough income to support so many troops, and the power will not be small.

It can even cause local rebellions, leaving them with no time for other things.

"Very good, it's time to meet Sun Ce and let him cooperate deeply with us."

Controlling Sun Ce, Ye Chen didn't think about it, but he was still very weak now, and he wanted Ye Chen's support very much, so that Ye Chen could get the benefits he wanted from it.

This is also the purpose of Ye Chen's coming to Taiwan, the more territory Sun Ce controls, the more Ye Chen infiltrates, and the benefits he obtains will of course be greater.
