Sun Jian set off, but most of the rear still hadn't started, and Ye Chen took three thousand people and waited for Sun Jian to follow two days after he set off.

"Report, lord, Sun Jian has attacked all the way, and the momentum is like a bamboo, and he has broken through three obstacles in a row." Ye Chen has been paying attention to Sun Jian's battle situation, and as soon as there is news, the scout will come to report.

Sun Jian is worthy of being a tiger, in addition to his own bravery, another major feature is that the soldiers and generals under him are all capable people, most of the soldiers are not recruits, and they have fought, unlike most of the allied forces are recruits.

The four major generals under him are also experienced, and they have fought many battles with Sun Jian.

Along the way, Dong Zhuo sent a lot of troops to garrison, and Sun Jian was not afraid, led the troops to rush all the way, breaking one level after another, Ye Chen led the troops to follow behind, he knew that Sun Jian would be defeated this time, and the reason for the defeat was not anything else, that is, there was a problem with the grain and grass, and when the army was in chaos, he was attacked by Dong Zhuo.

At this time, after the Kwantung princes sent Dong Zhuo, they resumed their habit of drinking and having fun, completely regardless of the situation on the front line, only a few people such as Cao Cao and Wang Kuang cared about the battle situation.

Sun Jian's march was very fast, all the way to the impact, and soon arrived at the foot of Songshan City, the Yang people, the Yang people held Songshan, as long as they crossed Songshan, they could still attack Luoyang.

However, Songshan was not so good, Sun Jian continued to attack Liangdong after capturing the Yangren, and was defeated by Xu Rong when he was in Liangdong, so he had to retreat to the Yangren.

"Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses are still very strong, as strong as Sun Menghu, and they have also been defeated." After Ye Chen finished reading the battle report, he said to the three generals under his hand.

After hearing this, Guan Yu said: "The coalition forces are still holding their troops in sour jujube, if they can press up together, even if Sun Jian is defeated, just retreat, otherwise once defeated, it will not be so easy to escape back." ”

Ye Chen didn't speak, thinking that waiting for Sun Jian to be defeated and he would make another move, so that he could show his merits, and he also had skills to brush up his fame, and he couldn't compromise his strength.

Sun Jian is a fierce tiger, although he was defeated for a while, he did not suffer too much blow.

Dong Zhuo sent Hu Zhen to lead 5,000 troops to fight Sun Jian, Sun Jian responded calmly, and Hu Zhen was defeated.

This battle not only made Dong Zhuo not despise Sun Jian and regarded Sun Jian as a great enemy, but also shocked the Kwantung princes, and they were impressed with Sun Jian, but this was not a good thing, because some people couldn't sit still.

In the allied camp, the princes all received the news that Sun Jian had broken Hu Zhen's army and would soon be able to attack the Tiger Pass.

At this time, if the prestige rises sharply, it is a great benefit, celebrities will come to defect, and the people will also support, which can be described as a great benefit, and because of this, Ye Chen knows that he can't occupy any territory in this battle, and if he is not careful, he will suffer heavy losses, but Ye Chen still insists that he must fight.

Yuan Shu Battalion:

"My lord, if Sun Jian breaks through the tiger prison, it will be a big threat to us, and maybe he will take the opportunity to break away from the lord's control, stand on his own, and confront us." Yuan Shu's subordinates heard that Sun Jian had won a great victory in front of them, and immediately spoke to Yuan Shu.

Since Sun Jian's departure, he has won several big victories in a row, Yuan Shu is very uncomfortable to hear, nominally Sun Jian is his subordinate, but he has a lot of autonomy, and Yuan Shu can't interfere in general things, but as long as he has this name, he can influence Sun Jian in many things, and now if Sun Jian has too much credit, with great prestige, completely detached from him, then it is a tiger out of the cage, and one will hurt himself if he is not careful.

"So what?" Yuan Shu sighed, he was half angry with Ye Chen before, and now there is another character who gives him a headache.

"Lord, you are in charge of all the grain and grass of the allied army, as long as you deliberately delay, then Sun Jian will not be able to attack no matter how powerful he is." The subordinates said flatteringly to Sun Jian.

"Well, yes, no matter how powerful Sun Jian is, without my support, he can't do anything, just take this opportunity to knock him and ask him to be honest with me." Yuan Shu said with a gloomy face.

Yuan Shu was calculating Sun Jian, and Ye Chen was not only paying attention to all of Sun Jian's movements, but also making his own plans.

"Second brother, I see that you have been frowning today, but you are worried about the war?" In the tent, Ye Chen sat with Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun asked puzzled.

Ye Chen shook his head and said: "The alliance is powerful, and there are tigers like Sun Jian, maybe there are many small problems, but there will be no big problems, what bothers me is that along the way, we found a lot of homeless people, these people are miserable." ”

Zhao Yun was also moved when he heard this, there were indeed many people fleeing along the road, they were afraid that the war would affect them, and they brought the old and the young, but Zhao Yun found that he had no ability to help them, he had his own mission, and he could only cry out in vain.

What made Ye Chen worry was these people, the population was too important in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he wanted to take these people away, but he encountered a big problem.

He has already started the plan to recruit displaced people, and has recruited displaced people in various places, and it just so happens that the eyes of the world are gathered around Luoyang, and few people pay attention to other places.

At this time, recruiting displaced people from all over the Han Dynasty and bringing them back to Liaodong will not attract too much attention, but if Ye Chen wants to recruit displaced people under the noses of the Guanqi Army, it will inevitably cause them to speculate, and after a long time, they will definitely be able to analyze the reason.

That's why Ye Chen was worried, how could he recruit these homeless people without arousing the suspicion of others?

"Second brother, why don't we arrange some people to go to Songshan Mountain, where we have a stronghold." Zhao Yun thought about it and said carefully.

Ye Chen shook his head, how many people can be arranged on Songshan Mountain? Thousands?

It was a great loss for a few thousand men to make his strategy discovered by the princes.

Zhao Yun thought that he was fighting now, and he really didn't have the energy to care about anything else, so he didn't say anything more.

"Looks like I'm going to have to rely on my old lover's help." Ye Chen secretly thought in his heart, if this matter did not arouse the suspicion of others, then Ye Chen would be "forced" to recruit homeless people, and he would not be able to refuse.

Therefore, Ye Chen wanted Empress Dowager He to issue a decree and "order" Ye Chen to recruit homeless people, so that the Kwantung princes would not suspect it.

Just do it, Ye Chen put pen to paper, and asked people to send a message to the Empress Dowager He, saying that she was grateful to the people around Luoyang and couldn't bear to be displaced, so she sent an edict to Ye Chen to let her settle these displaced people on behalf of the Empress Dowager He and the emperor, so that they would not suffer from the war.

At the same time, Ye Chen wrote another letter, ordering Zhang Qing to preside over the recruitment of displaced people here, recruiting displaced people thousands of miles away, and transporting them back, which is definitely a difficult project, but Liaodong has a huge fleet and huge transportation capacity, so Ye Chen dared to do this, and if he wanted to be other princes, he didn't have that ability.
