Ye Chen knew very well the reason, it was because the reign of Daijun was too short and he had not yet fully returned to his heart.

The people of Liaodong have been under Ye Chen's rule for many years, their consciousness is very high, and they are not soldiers to eat, but to protect their homeland, regard themselves as masters, and take protecting Liaodong as their mission.

And Daijun, not long after it was incorporated, although the people have settled down, the development of Daijun has not yet made them completely home.

This takes time, it takes a lot of time, and Ye Chen has no choice.

"Take your time, I believe that after three or five years of development, this generation of counties can also be like Liaodong." This matter is not in a hurry, and Ye Chen has no better way.

At this time, it can only be like this, the other people in Youzhou can be treated like this, but the newly recruited 25,000 soldiers can't do this, and they can't be trained for three or five years before they can work.

"Lord, I and Ziyi have been grasping the training of soldiers, and at present, we can only let them slowly change through more rigorous training." Huang Zhong said.

In fact, in Huang Zhong's heart, these soldiers were already very good, because when he was in Jingzhou, even soldiers who had been trained for a long time could only do this, but Ye Chen compared them with the army of Liaodong, not with the armies of other princes.

What Ye Chen wants is quality, if he wants Youzhou to maintain high-speed development, he can't pull up hundreds of thousands of troops like Yuan Shao in Jizhou.

Even if Ye Chen raised it, once things didn't go well in the end, he would be dragged down.

Therefore, Ye Chen could only choose to take the elite route.

If he had Jizhou's population and economic strength, he wouldn't care about recruiting more than 100,000 people, but he couldn't.

"Strengthening training is one way, but at the same time, we must improve the treatment of soldiers, and at the same time strengthen education, I will select a group of officers who are good at it in the whole army."

Ye Chen's so-called strengthening education is to reason with the soldiers and make the soldiers loyal to him, just like the political commissar system in later generations.

The army strengthens education, and at the same time improves the treatment of soldiers, as well as the treatment of soldiers' families, so that soldiers have a sense of honor.

After finalizing these few things, Ye Chen's task of coming to Daijun this time was basically completed, and all that was left was to walk more, take a look, point out the specific shortcomings, and then improve them in the whole Youzhou.

In the next few days, Ye Chen did not let Tai Shici and others accompany him, but walked around by himself.

The construction of Daijun's Daixian New City has been completed, Daijun's defense is very strong, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers stationed, Ye Chen is no longer afraid of being attacked by the back.

After inspecting Daijun for more than half a month, Ye Chen launched several reforms, and the results were very good.

"Report, Jizhou urgent report." Ye Chen was discussing the training of the army with Tai Shici and Huang Zhong, and at this time, there was an urgent report from the soldiers.

Ye Chen knew that it was a big deal, this urgent report from Jizhou, thinking about it, he knew that Yuan Shao had a change, no matter where he wanted to move, it would have a great impact on Youzhou.

Ye Chen hurriedly opened the emergency report, and to Ye Chen's surprise, this urgent report turned out to be sent by Zhang Ning.

In other words, Ye Chen still misses Zhang Ning very much, not only the lingering between the two of them in bed, but also the affection, the affection that he has to go with Ye Chen even if he is on the battlefield.

Zhang Ning's urgent report was very simple, Yuan Shao began to organize troops and horses, and the scale was very large, there must be a military operation, but it was not clear where the target was.

"Second brother, there are only a few goals for Yuan Shao, and the state, Youzhou and Qingzhou. At this time, he has gathered troops, and I think that no matter where he wants to fight, he will definitely not let us go, and it is certain that we will send troops. ”

Ye Chen directly threatened Yuan Shao's back road, Yuan Shao wanted to send troops, so it was certain to defend himself, if it was Ye Chen, Ye Chen would definitely attack Youzhou, so that Youzhou would not dare to send troops to hinder him.

The big war was about to start, and Ye Chen had already smelled the smell of war.

"Han Sheng, you immediately lead the soldiers and horses to the front line to defend, if Yuan Shao attacks, small-scale soldiers and horses, you will deal with them, and even take the initiative to attack, if the large soldiers are pressing, you will slowly retreat and lead them to Daixian." Ye Chen thought for a moment and ordered.

"The last general commands." Huang Zhong clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

Ye Chen ordered again: "Big brother, you are the commander-in-chief of Daijun, continue to train soldiers and horses, and give Hansheng support, if Yuan Shao's main target is us, I will lead troops to support at that time, and we will find a way to fight them under Daixian County." ”

At this time, the soldiers and horses had not yet been trained, and Ye Chen did not want to take the initiative to attack immediately.

With such a strong defense in Youdai County, how could Ye Chen waste it, lure them to the city, and consume their vital strength well.

Ye Chen received information, and this Cao Cao also received information.

"Lord, Yuan Shao will come if he wants to come, what are you afraid of him, we now have 10,000 tigers and leopards to ride, enough to fight Yuan Shao." Cao Chun said loudly.

Cao Cao gathered more than a dozen important civil and military officers under his command to discuss, which shows that his pressure is not small.

This time, Yuan Shao has accumulated enough strength, and this time he will definitely not rush to the end of the army.

"My lord, we only have about 50,000 soldiers and horses, and we can't gather them all, and Yuan Shao can dispatch at least 200,000 soldiers and horses except for the defense in various places, the gap in strength is too big, relying on us alone, the chance of winning is not big." Cheng Yu said to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao nodded, he also understood this truth, this time Yuan Shao sent troops, and the movement must be very big.

"You mean to ask Ye Chen for help?" Cao Cao said to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "It's for him to help us share the pressure, but the two of us are natural allies, but there is also competition, and Ye Chen must be allowed to come in." ”

"Ye Chen is a businessman, he can't afford to be unprofitable, there are difficulties in this matter." Cao Cao said.

Everyone understood what Cao Cao said, this Ye Chen had to reap a lot of benefits every time he helped.

"Lord, Ye Chen is a businessman, he can't afford to be early, but he is also a person who understands, if we are under too much pressure, he will definitely take the initiative to help, as long as we promise him enough benefits at the right time." Cheng Yu said again.

"Okay, I'll immediately leave a letter to inform him of the matter, and vaguely said that he would help, and the condition is that it is better for him to mention it himself, if we mention it, he will definitely guess our bottom line, and when the lion opens his mouth, we have to accept it."

Cao Cao knew Ye Chen well, and knew that he would exploit him vigorously when he seized the opportunity.

Then Cao Cao ordered the generals to hurry up and reorganize their troops and horses to prepare for a new big war.

Ye Chen finished arranging the affairs of Dai County and set off back to Ji County.

The general will rise, as the lord, he must lead the entire Youzhou in Jixian County.

On the way, Ye Chen received several pieces of information, this time Yuan Shao's movement was very strong, and he actually raised 300,000 troops.

"Yuan Shao is really big." Ye Chen sighed.
