PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
This year, autumn is coming, and it is time for the Ye family to harvest, how much grain can be harvested from millions of acres of farmland.
In addition to the food eaten by the farmers themselves, the rest of the grain belongs to the Ye family, the reason is very simple, the Ye family raised them before, built them houses, provided them with farm tools and seeds, and now it is time for them to return it.
Of course, the Ye family will not take away all their grain, each family will leave enough food, and the rest of the Ye family will take it.
This year was a bumper harvest, and the yield was generally much higher because of the use of green manure.
Just when Ye Chen was immersed in the joy of the harvest, a news came, which made Ye Chen feel a little surprised, and felt that another opportunity to make money had come.
The Xiongnu wanted to annex Wuhuan. The Xiongnu have long had this idea, but it has not been implemented, and now the cold winter is coming, and it is predicted that it will be another year of catastrophe, and the Xiongnu want to strengthen themselves by annexing Wuhuan, and they also want to survive the cold winter by plundering.
Why did Ye Chen know? Because, King Qiao sent people to the Ye family to ask for help.
Help? That's right, it was to ask for help, of course, not to let the Ye family send troops, but that the other party asked for a large number of iron weapons.
The Wuhuan people can use all the soldiers if they have weapons, but the problem they face is that they don't have enough weapons, scimitars are lacking, and arrows are even more scarce.
The last time they invaded Youzhou, the Wuhuan people used a lot of arrows, and then most of the things they robbed were food and property, the iron tools were too heavy, and they couldn't grab too much, and the iron tools were scattered, and the Wuhuan people couldn't grab too much, most of them would store so many iron tools.
Without enough weapons, it is foreseeable that the Wuhuan people will be defeated.
The messenger of the King of Cliffs is still Lu Batu, Ye Chen is not in the Ye family at all, but in Yu County, but it doesn't matter, it's okay to let him wait.
Ye Chen called Bai Feng, Tai Shici, and Guan Yu over.
"Wuhuan people are coming to ask for help, what do you think?"
"Hmph, dog eat dog, let them bite it." Guan Yu snorted coldly and said, he was very disgusted with the Wuhuan people.
Tai Shi Ci looked pensive and did not speak, and Bai Feng's face was indifferent, as if he was in his chest.
"Zimo, what do you suggest?" Ye Chen looked at Bai Feng and said.
"Help, you must help, it's just that this degree is not easy to master, and if you don't handle it well, you will be counterattacked."
At this time, Guan Yu also calmed down, just now he was just angry for a while, and he didn't think about anything else at all, but now that he calmed down, he knew that things were not so simple.
"It was a gaffe just now." Guan Yu apologized to a few people, and everyone didn't blame him, so the meeting continued.
"If Wuhuan is destroyed by the Huns, then we will have to face a more powerful Huns, so Wuhuan must be saved. It's just that Zimo also said just now that if Wuhuan repels the Xiongnu and retains their strength, they will definitely go south again to plunder. Ye Chen briefly talked about the situation.
"Lord, that is to say, we must not only assist the Wuhuan, but also know their strength, not let them grow stronger, and ensure that they will not be annexed by the Xiongnu."
"Yes, that's why it's so difficult." Ye Chen said helplessly.
This matter is a technical job, and if it is not handled well, it will have serious consequences, and the best result is, of course, a bloody war between the Wuhuan people and the Huns, with heavy losses on both sides, and the Ye family has made a lot of war money.
"Second brother, we can ask to send a contact person to keep abreast of the situation over there, and then according to the news sent back by our people, we will provide assistance according to the situation." Tai Shi Ci thought about it and gave Ye Chen an idea.
A few people listened and nodded, this is indeed a good idea, but this idea also has great drawbacks.
"Although this idea is good, the drawbacks are also very obvious, that is, we are too far away from Wuhuan, the message is not delivered in time, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and when we receive the news, the situation at that time has already changed, and we are easy to make the wrong choice."
"Well, yes, if you don't go into battle in person, you can't grasp the changes on the battlefield at all." Guan Yu stroked his beard and said.
"In person?" Ye Chen's heart was shocked, and this idea suddenly popped up, and it didn't seem to be suitable when he thought about it again, maybe he could consider it after thinking about it again.
Ye Chen didn't say what he thought, but continued: "Everyone is thinking about it, see what else they have in mind. ”
"Lord, it's certain to support Wu Huan, but in what way do you want to support?"
"Hmph, support is support, but it's not gratuitous support, last time the Wuhuan people robbed so much in our Youzhou, see if I don't let them all spit it out for me." Ye Chen smiled treacherously and said to everyone.
Tai Shi Ci and Guan Yu both smiled, asking them to support the Wuhuan people for free, they would really be very unhappy in their hearts, but if there was an opportunity to blackmail them, of course they would be very happy to see it.
The four of them discussed for a while, but there was no good way, after all, they were far away from the grassland, and they couldn't grasp the movements over there in real time.
At this time, Ye Chen saw that the time was almost up, so he threw out his thoughts.
"Since there are no perfect solutions to solve it, then I have an idea." Ye Chen said this, looking at the other three people.
Bai Feng, Tai Shi Ci, and Guan Yu all looked at Ye Chen expectantly.
"My idea is to send troops, send troops to the prairie."
"Sending troops?" The three of them looked at Ye Chen suspiciously.
"Yes, of course we sent troops, but we are here to stir up the situation, not to help the Wuhuan people fight.
When we send troops, we can pay attention to the dynamics of the grasslands, respond in a timely manner, and play a role at critical times. Our Liaodong is too close to the grassland, they can go south to plunder at any time, and if we don't greatly weaken them, they may give us a fatal blow at any time. ”
In fact, Ye Chen was very worried about the grassland, once he went out to fight, the Wuhuan people or the Xiongnu suddenly invaded south, then Ye Chen's logistics base would be threatened, and he would not be able to fight with peace of mind, and he might perish.
"In this way, it is a good idea to send troops." Guan Yu said with a glint in his eyes, in fact, he has always been eager to fight, and fighting against the invaders Wuhuan is what he wants, but he knows that he can't be arbitrary, he has to find the right time.
"That's right, we can negotiate with the Wuhuan people, we need to send troops, and after we go to the grassland, we will not belong to them, we will act freely, so that we can play a role at a critical time."
"Lord, it is very dangerous to fight alone in depth, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a crisis." Hearing that Ye Chen was going to send troops to the grassland, he was taken aback, and he didn't really want to send troops in his heart, although he knew that sending troops would have huge benefits.
"Liaodong is too close to the grassland. I can't keep my back on the enemy's side. Ye Chen said very firmly. Sooner or later, he will have to fight out, and this day will not be too far away, so he must solve the crisis from the steppe as soon as possible.
As soon as Bai Feng heard this, he knew that Ye Chen had made up his mind, so he stopped persuading. A few men then made up their minds to send troops. However, how to send troops and how many troops to send must be carefully planned.
"This time, I will bring my eldest brother, Yun Chang and 5,000 cavalry, and Zimo will stay to watch the house."
Ye Chen's decision made everyone silent for a while, Tai Shi Ci and Guan Yu are absolutely no problem to go, but Ye Chen actually wants to go, although Ye Chen has been training hard, his combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, and Guan Yu and Tai Shi Ci can also pass a hundred moves, but the entire force depends on Ye Chen, if something happens to him, then the Ye family will fall apart.
Ye Chen also saw their concerns, so he said: "Our five thousand cavalry have undergone strict training, and they are no worse than the Wuhuan and Xiongnu, besides, we are here to stir up the situation, not to fight hard, naturally we will not fight with them, we want to run, I believe that no one can stop us." ”
Ye Chen had this confidence, of course, Guan Yu and Tai Shici also had this confidence, they had the confidence to protect Ye Chen, so they didn't have a strong opposition.
"Okay, since that's the case, then please rest assured that the wind must guard the family business, and no one should think of touching the lord's family business."
Ye Chen was not too worried about this, he had left thousands of soldiers and horses here, and there was Zhang Rang covering the imperial court, so there was not much to do.
The matter was settled in this way, it was imperative to send troops to the grassland, and Ye Chen planned to solve the threat of the grassland to Liaodong in one fell swoop.
Of course, it is not like this to send troops, but to obtain benefits before sending troops, as much as you want, the more the merrier.
