10,000 troops traveled, and they fought outside their own territory, of course, in a vast and complete range of carriages and horses.

With a fleet of hundreds of ships, it looks like it's overshadowing the sky.

In the fleet, there were those who explored the way ahead, those who transported soldiers, and those who transported supplies on war horses.

Ye Chen stood in front of him, looking at the strongest fleet in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he was also excited.

It is a great feat to bring tens of thousands of armor and fight across states.

Ye Chen's attack range was no longer limited to the area around his own territory, the entire southeast region was under his command.

This benefit is obvious, and now the merchants of Youzhou have gone to distant places on a large scale to do business, and the entire southeast region is their footprint.

And they are doing business very smoothly, first, there are the rules of the family, even the princes dare not easily provoke these families for no reason, and second, Ye Chen's deterrence.

In the southeast region, even Yuan Shu in Yangzhou was scared by Ye Chen, there was no need, he would not move the merchants of Youzhou, otherwise they would suffer if they provoked Ye Chen, a madman.

Ye Chen led his army to dock at an island not far from Xuzhou, which was one of the supply bases for Ye Chen and their southward journey.

"Lord, this chaos in Xuzhou has been decided, with our strength, we can share Xuzhou equally with Lu Bu, why not take Xuzhou?" Huang Zhong said.

Ye Chen shook his head and said: "Xuzhou does not border Youzhou, it has become an enclave, it will inevitably disperse our strength, the most important thing is that if we take Xuzhou, we will definitely turn against Cao Cao immediately, and Cao Cao will definitely attack Xuzhou at that time, and it is even possible to unite with Yuan Shao and destroy us first." ”

If Ye Chen owned Xuzhou and Youzhou, he would semi-surround Cao Cao, and the threat was too great for Cao Cao to tolerate.

Now Ye Chen does not have the strength to start a war with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao at the same time, so he does not dare to ask for Xuzhou.

Huang Zhong nodded, and could only suppress the heat in his heart.

Ye Chen waited on the island for two days, and two days later, Zhang Liao also came to join Ye Chen with a fleet.

The difference is that Zhang Liao's fleet is much smaller, they did not bring logistical supplies, nor did they bring horses, all of which were borne by Youzhou.

"Wen Yuan, Jun Yi, I haven't seen you for a long time, looking at the army you brought out, you know that it is a male soldier. It would be better if Gao Shun's trapping camp could also come. Ye Chen said happily.

Gao Shun had been assigned by Ye Chen to secretly select and train the trapping camp, but it was too difficult to practice in the trapping camp, and he couldn't train it right away.

"General Ye, I went to Xuzhou this time, I heard that General Lu was also there, don't forget our agreement." Zhang Liao said.

"Haha, Wen Yuan don't worry, if you really fight with Lu Bu, you can watch from the side, but don't worry, the chance of fighting with Lu Bu is very small, at least I don't want to fight him."

After hearing this, Zhang Liao felt a lot more relieved.

When he arrived on this island, Ye Chen asked the soldiers to rest for a few days, anyway, when he arrived here, he could get to Xuzhou in one day, and he was not in such a hurry.

After resting for three days, Ye Chen ordered the soldiers to start moving.

The fleet came with the general trend, arrived at the Xuzhou wharf, and directly occupied the wharf.

Groups of neat troops disembarked and lined up not far away.

It's nothing short of a military parade, a show off.

The 20,000 troops all disembarked in one day, and Mi Zhu personally ran to the port to meet Ye Chen.

"General Ye, you are here, such a large lineup, Xuzhou is overshadowed, and all the troops of Xuzhou are not your opponents combined." Mi Zhu said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, I'm a guest, I won't occupy the magpie's nest."

Ye Chen understood that his large lineup would definitely make Xuzhou jealous, so he expressed his attitude.

Mi Zhu was a lot relieved, he was indeed very worried that Ye Chen would not leave when he came.

If this is the case, he will lose a lot, although Ye Chen will not do anything to Mi Zhu, but he will not be able to escape from the crime of framing the benefactor and seeking personal gain for public and private purposes.

Ye Chen really had no intention of occupying Xuzhou, which would not do him any good.

Ye Chen's arrival shook the entire Xuzhou.

In Xuzhou, there are all kinds of rumors, and even Tao Qian, who is critically ill, has heard many rumors.

Needless to say, Lu Bu didn't know how many spies he had sent over.

Ye Chen also knew about this, but he didn't pay attention to it.

"Mi Beijia, my 25,000 army doesn't know where to arrange? Is the grain and grass ready? ”

Although the two are relatives, they still have to do official business, and he doesn't dare to be sloppy in the affairs of more than 20,000 troops.

"General Ye rest assured, it's ready, General Ye can go immediately."

Mi Zhu arranged Ye Chen's army in a county seat more than 200 miles away from Picheng, the seat of Xuzhou.

Two days later, Ye Chen arrived at the garrison with a large army.

10,000 guarded the county seat, 10,000 were stationed outside the city, and the other 5,000 Ma Yechen planned to take them to Xiapi City.

At this time, there were more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Xiapi, and he took 5,000 to go and stationed outside Xiapi City, so this arrangement can make Xuzhou feel at ease.

Ye Chen took the guard battalion to Xiapi, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun accompanied him, and Huang Zhong sat in the camp.

After arriving at Xiapi City, Ye Chen entered Xiapi City with hundreds of personal guards, and the rest were stationed outside the city.

After entering Xiapi City, Ye Chen directly asked for a courtyard to live in, he came this time for both public and private purposes, so it was inconvenient to live in Mi's house.

"My lord, there is news from Mi Beijia, Taozhou Mu wants to see you at the right time." Zhang Yi came in and reported.

"Okay, let them arrange it, I can do it at any time."

When you come to someone else's territory, you must always meet your master.

The next day, Tao Qian did not come to see him, but he received an unexpected person.

This person is Chen Gong, Chen Gong is actually in Xiapi City, and he came directly to him.

Chen Gong was very low-key, there was only one person, and he only reported his name when he arrived at the door, and he did not greet him in advance.

Since Chen Gong wanted to keep a low profile, Ye Chen did not go out to greet him personally, but asked the soldiers to bring Chen Gong in.

"Haha, I've seen the public station, the name of the public station is like thunder, it's really an honor to meet each other." Ye Chen said with a smile.

Of course, Ye Chen admired the name of Chen Gong very much, and even wanted to pull him to his side, but Ye Chen knew very well that this Chen Palace would not abandon Lu Bu, and it was really not suitable to dig into the corners of other people's walls at this time.

"General Ye is famous, and there are few people in the world who have not heard of it." Chen Gong said with a pun.

A large part of Ye Chen's reputation is notoriety.

The family tried their best to discredit Ye Chen, so Ye Chen was notorious in many places.

"Come, Gongtai, please be seated." Ye Chen arranged a relatively quiet and comfortable living room in the courtyard, but he didn't expect Chen Gong to be the first.

"The public station will not come here this time, we will talk about things first and then talk about other things."

Both sides are busy people, and there is definitely no idle time to chat, so Ye Chen does not ink and goes straight to the point.
