Three days later, Yuan Shu rushed to Hongyang County, so that he could temporarily rest assured, at least there was a place to put this batch of treasures, and he didn't have to run all day with it.

"Lord, Ye Chen took away more than 100 million yuan in Hongyang County, and distributed all our food to the people, and all the other weapons and equipment were also taken away." As soon as he arrived in Hongyang County, Yuan Shu received a report from the vanguard.

"Damn, hateful, this Ye Chen is more hateful than the locusts before." Yuan Shu slapped the table and scolded very angrily.

Then Yuan Shu asked again, "Where is Ye Chen now?" ”

"Lord, the Liaodong army used to occupy Hongyang County and Duyang County, and they occupied it for a day or two and then left, but after they arrived in Bowang County, they didn't leave, and where else did they build defenses, it seems, it seems that they want to occupy my Nanyang."

"He dares."

Yuan Shu stomped his feet hard and said loudly. This Nanyang is his territory, and he can't let others get involved.

"I will send troops to fight tomorrow, I must drive him out of Nanyang, and recruit troops on the spot for me to expand my troops." Yuan Shu could not tolerate Ye Chen's activities on his territory and was determined to drive him out of Nanyang.

Yuan Shu rushed to Hongyang, but in the past few days, Ye Chen and the others have also done a lot of things.

First of all, Xu Huang had already recruited 2,000 people, of which 1,000 were directly recruited from the original garrison.

Recruiting soldiers was much better than expected, I thought it would be very difficult, but as a result, there were a lot of recruits, if it weren't for Ye Chen's strict requirements, they could find another two thousand people.

It will be so smooth because of the results of Ye Chen's distribution of food, the distribution of food directly gathered people's hearts, and the situation in Nanyang is already relatively bad, and many people can't eat, so they will come to serve as soldiers.

After recruiting manpower, Xu Huang carried out strict training for them, not asking them how much combat effectiveness they had, at least they had discipline, and with discipline they had combat effectiveness.

There is also Guan Yu who led the army all the way south, and began to scrape several cities in the south.

In this Bowang County, Ye Chen and the others found out the time when they were hiding, and killed a few people ruthlessly, not counting killing some people, they searched all their family backgrounds, and as long as they could find them, they would not leave anything behind.

In this way, the families in the city are all honest, and they are all soft in the face of Liaodong's knives, and it is not good if they are not soft.

"Well, if you spread the news, it will be much easier for Yun Chang and my eldest brother to do it." Ye Chen looked at the intelligence in the county office, and in a few days, Guan Yu and the others scraped the three county seats, harvested a lot, and also got hundreds of horses, although they were not war horses, but they were enough to camel things.

"Lord, now that Yuan Shu and they have arrived in Hongyang County, they are expected to arrive in three days." Guo Jia said.

"Okay, if you come, you will come, as long as we block them for a few days, then there are more than 20 counties south of Bowang County, which is enough for us to go and scrape again." Ye Chen said happily.

"Well, lord, in fact, we only need to block them here for a few days, and then let Yun Chang and Ziyi occupy Wancheng, the location of Wancheng is more important than Bowang, and Wancheng is a big city, when the time comes, it will mean that the entire Nanyang will fall into our hands, and they will be scraped again." Guo Jia clenched his fists, as if he wanted to hold the entire Nanyang in his hands.

"Well, to defend the city, our troops are still not enough, it seems that we have to let Yun Chang and them recruit more people, and then step up training, and then entrench themselves in Nanyang for a period of time." After listening to Guo Jia's idea, Ye Chen felt that it made sense, Yuan Shu couldn't help him in the short term, so he would scrape him a fine light.

Ye Chen quickly ordered Guan Yu and Tai Shici to divide a few hundred people to recruit and train, and the weapons and equipment were directly captured by the defenders of Nanyang, and their soldiers were disbanded on the spot after collecting their weapons.

Ye Chen entered the hinterland of Nanyang and wantonly scraped, and Yuan Shu finally sent troops, sending 20,000 troops at a time, to drive Ye Chen and them out of Nanyang.

It is not difficult to defeat Yuan Shu's army, it is just that it has to be damaged, if it is to occupy Nanyang, Ye Chen will not hesitate to annihilate Yuan Shu's army, but Ye Chen has no intention of occupying Nanyang, so he does not plan to fight him, his soldiers are very precious, and they must not lose too much.

Yuan Shu's army arrived at Bowang City two days later, and Xu Huang was already ready at this time.

On this day, Yuan Shu's army surrounded the city, and Ye Chen also came to the city wall.

Yuan Jun under the city began to scold.

"Heh, why didn't this Yuan Shu come in person, I still want to be angry with him." Ye Chen said with a smile on the head of the city.

This kind of defensive battle didn't need him to go out at all, he came purely to anger Yuan Shu and delay time.

But what Ye Chen didn't know was that this Yuan Shu had already been angry, and he was unwell after stepping up his journey for days, so he couldn't come at all after such a hurried long-distance attack.

Seeing that Yuan Shu didn't come, Ye Chen felt bored, stayed in the city for a while, and saw that Xu Huang was defending well, and it was estimated that it would be no problem for ten days and half a month, so he went back again, Ye Chen stayed here Actually, the most important thing was to deal with all kinds of intelligence.

Now that the intelligence network has been fully rolled out, he cares about all kinds of intelligence when he is fine.

Ye Chen stayed in the county office, and the fight outside was already very intense.

The Yuan army began to attack the city, but they didn't have much siege equipment, when they were in Luoyang before, after Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an, the original siege equipment was useless, and they were thrown away, and after they came back, the county was scraped by Ye Chen and them, how could they stay.

Without siege engines, bows and arrows were the main siege weapons.

Arrows came and went, but the Liaodong army had already prepared and prepared a large number of shields.

The fighting was fierce on both sides.

"Fengxiao, it is estimated that you can deal with it very easily today." Xu Huang did not join the battle in person, but observed the battlefield with Guo Jia.

"So you're going to send these recruits to defend the city?"

"That's right, the battlefield is the best exercise, let them feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, their siege equipment will be produced tomorrow, pull it out today for exercise." Xu Huang said with a smile.

Guo Jia didn't answer, looking at the battlefield, he had prepared a large number of shields, so there were not many casualties in the attack for half a day, but the Yuan army suffered very large losses, and the attack slowed down.

The day passed quickly, and on this day the escort battalion had dozens of dead and wounded, and with the defense of a large number of shields, these battle-hardened veterans did not suffer much damage, while the enemy had more than a thousand dead and wounded.

The next day, Yuan Jun rushed to make a batch of siege equipment overnight, mainly ladders, it didn't take too much time to build a ladder, but they needed a lot of them, so it took a day.

After the ladder was built, a fierce siege was about to begin, and Xu Huang arranged all the soldiers and was not afraid of them.
