Nanyang was entrenched by Ye Chen, and Yuan Shu only controlled a small part of Nanyang, and the two sides were accumulating strength.

This strange situation in Nanyang has not attracted much attention, because the whole world has entered an even more bizarre situation.

After the princes returned, they all recruited troops and horses, and began to brew a battle for territory.

Among them, Yuan Shao was the most powerful, he obtained hundreds of thousands of people in the Luoyang area, and he let his subordinates deal with these people slowly, and he returned to Jizhou first.

After returning to Jizhou, Yuan Shao replaced the officials in Jizhou again and again, and got his cronies up.

Yuan Shao's prestige was very high, and no one dared to come out to oppose the arbitrary appointment of officials within Jizhou.

In addition, he also gathered a large number of talents around him, Wu Youyan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Lu Yi, Zhao Zhao, Chun Yuqiong, Wen Youtian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You, Judge, Xiao Ji, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Bi, Chen Lin, Cui Yan.

Yuan Shao not only had a large number of talents, but the most important thing was that he also trained 100,000 soldiers and horses.

This time, Yuan Shao snatched a large number of treasures from Dong Zhuo, with money and quantity, and generals, of course, there will be no shortage of soldiers and horses, and he will expand his soldiers and horses to 100,000 at a time, and he has a great ambition and embraces the momentum of the four seas.

Yuan Shao's momentum and prestige are unmatched, he has already begun to plan to expand externally, and Han Fu will be his first stumbling block.

Not only Yuan Shao, but Cao Cao is not weak, although the treasures he obtained are not as much as Yuan Shao's, but he has the support of his family and the Wei family, and his development is also very rapid.

And what I want to say is that Sun Jian still did not escape his fate, he was ambushed on the way back and died on the battlefield.

Ye Chen also felt very sorry when he received the news of Sun Jian's death.

Sun Jian was a fierce tiger, and his achievements were so great that no one in the allied forces could match him.

However, the Sun family is much better than in history, because Sun Jian changed his mentality half a year earlier and became a hero.

So he made a lot of arrangements in advance, and there were many more soldiers and horses, and at the same time, he paid attention to starting to win over all parties very early.

Gongsun Chan has returned to Liaoxi, but he and Liu Yu are becoming more and more disagreeable, and the two begin to oppose each other in all aspects, but Gongsun Chan has always been at a disadvantage, because Liu Yu has Liu Bian's mother and son in his hands, but fortunately, Liu Yu did not oppress Gongsun Chan too much.

The other princes also knew more or less that the world was about to change, and they were all actively preparing for it.

"What a mess of the world." Ye Chen burned all the information in his hand, and then rubbed his brows and said.

"No matter how much it is, it's better to solve the current matter first." Ye Chen walked out, intending to pay attention to the affairs of Xia Nanyang.

Guan Yu and the others went very well, led the army to break through several county seats, and then began to select soldiers and horses there.

Now Nanyang Yuan Shu can fight against him, but Yuan Shu has not yet developed.

"My lord." Guo Jia heard that Ye Chen was looking for him, so he hurried over.

"Fengxiao, I've been paying attention to other things in the past few days, you tell me how things are going in Nanyang." Ye Chen said.

"Lord, this bumper harvest, I investigated the families in Nanyang, although the families here cannot be compared with the top families, but they are not a little stronger than those families in Youzhou. Among them, there are three families, all of which are century-old families, and all of them have big officials in the family, and they have a very strong background, and there are several families that are in business at the same time, which are also super rich. ”

Guo Jia said very excitedly, he has been thinking about how to squeeze these families dry up in the past few days, so he has spent a lot of effort.

"Okay, do you have any plans?"

"Lord, I plan to invite them all over tomorrow, directly manage half of their family property, squeeze out all their liquid assets, and divide the grain, so that Yuan Shu will come back and have no food to requisition, so he can only go outside to buy it." Guo Jia said while gesturing.

"Good guy, just ask for half of the family property." Ye Chen grinned, now they have collected hundreds of millions of dollars, but no one has too much money, and bringing this money back can be of great use.

"Lord, it's nothing to ask for half of the family property, we thought it was too much, but now it doesn't seem to be much at all, if you want to squeeze out Nanyang's big money to create a money shortage, you must do this, the reason is that Nanyang's money village is already very developed, and there is still a lot of cash in the money bank, if we don't have more points, let them go to the money village to borrow, I'm afraid that after we leave, they can also get a lot of cash through the money bank, so the effect of the money shortage is not good."

It turned out that Ye Chen didn't want to destroy the money village and let them continue to play a role in developing business, so he didn't feel sorry for the money village when he was in Nanyang, no matter who it was, including the Wei family's money bank, he didn't embarrass them.

Therefore, there is still a lot of cash in the bank, and these families can borrow a lot of cash in the bank, so the effect of the money shortage is not good.

And Guo Jia directly asked for half of their property, and they also needed cash, so they could only use their family's property to borrow money from the bank.

"Okay, then do it, and ask for half of their property."

In fact, Guo Jia still wanted more, but they couldn't take it out if they wanted more, could it be that Ye Chen and they could still take away the house, the fields, and the shop.

Guo Jia was very efficient, and invited those hours the next day.

In the face of Liaodong's knife, they had resentment or resentment, and there was no way at all.

They resented Ye Chen, and at the same time resented Yuan Shu, why did they provoke this evil star.

"Lord, this man is looking for you, and he is still a little interesting." Guo Jia invited a person dressed in fancy clothes, but who looked a little obscene.

Ye Chen was making tea and resting, he knew that Guo Jia was starting to show his knife to these families today, but he didn't know why he had to bring someone in, Ye Chen knew that Guo Jia would not do unreliable things, so he asked people to sit down.

"Contemptible Xie Dong, I've seen adults." Someone came to salute Ye Chen and said.

"Sit."

Ye Chen pointed to the chair opposite and asked him to sit, then Xie Dong sat down, but he sat crookedly, without any image, and with a luxurious dress, he felt awkward.

"Lord Xie Ye, the villain is taken care of by the adult, so I Xie Dong is today, so I am here to thank Lord Ye today."

Ye Chen was a little confused, where did he know him, how could he say that he took care of him?

"Hehe, Lord Ye may not know me." The man scratched his head and said, "But I am really grateful to Lord Ye, if it weren't for Lord Ye giving me a lot of low-cost salt, I wouldn't be where I am today." ”

When he said this, Ye Chen understood, it turned out that this was the case.

"I think how can this person be like this, it turns out that he used to be reckless, because of his own plan, he earned, so he developed, put on fancy clothes and pretended to be a family, in fact, he was a nouveau riche." Ye Chen thought in his heart.

"My lord, there are many people like them in this Nanyang, maybe we can take advantage of it." Guo Jia said in Ye Chen's ear.

Ye Chen knew that Guo Jia must have some plan, so he nodded.
