Li Wei left very sluggishly, not only did there be no one to say goodbye, but he also left in a hurry, and many things were too late to take away.

He didn't dare not leave, if he left late and Ye Chen didn't hand him over, then he would die of discomfort.

Li Wei left, Ye Chen officially took office, and there were no three fires after taking office, because they had been burned before, and many officials were replaced by their own people.

Now that the county order bought from the imperial court has also come down, in fact, the order of the county order has been down for a few days, but it was seized by Ye Chen first, and the reason is very simple, that is, to let the previous county order be the new county order for a few days before the black pot.

In fact, those big families all knew that all of this was arranged by Ye Chen, but Ye Chen and the county commanders of each county did not take office, and they had no target to attack.

Measuring the land is an order issued by the government, Ye Chen did not take office before, if they dare to attack Ye Chen, then Ye Chen can directly clean them up, and they are rightly cleaned up, while they are unknown.

Doing so can save a lot of trouble, those big families can only endure it, and later, with Ye Chen's strong advance, they also accepted the reality after killing a group of people.

Then now the new prefectural order can be a lot less troublesome.

Ye Chen recruited several of his important people in the Taishou Mansion, Guo Jia, Tai Shici, and Guan Yu, because this meeting was mainly to discuss the military layout, so Ye Chen did not let more people participate.

"My lord, the Chen Bing border you proposed, as long as the people of the King of Cliff are willing to cooperate, then there is a lot to be done, and we can get great benefits." Guo Jia said.

Ye Chen listened and nodded, this idea was put forward by him, and then handed it over to them to discuss to see if it was feasible.

"Lord, we don't have many troops, if we really want to deploy troops on the border, the troops can't be too small, otherwise once the situation changes, it will be easy to be eaten." Guan Yu said with some concern.

"Second brother, there's no need to take such a risk." Tai Shi Ci knows very well the strength of the Wuhuan people and their cruelty, although the relationship is very good now, but maybe when they will change their faces, once they change their faces, then the troops deployed on the border will be dangerous.

Ye Chen didn't answer immediately, but thought about it before saying, "The reason why I didn't expel the Wuhuan in Youzhou as soon as possible was to gain time to make the layout. ”

"Chen Bing's border has two advantages, one is to make the imperial court think that the hidden dangers of the border have not been solved, and it will not easily recall me back to Luoyang, I can stay in Liaodong for a long time, and I can also ask the imperial court for military expenses with this, at least we will be exempted from taxes in Liaodong."

"Second, it is possible to completely monopolize the trade with the Wuhuan, and even monopolize a part of the trade with the Xiongnu and the Turks. We can keep transporting goods in the name of escorting military supplies, and if others dare to transport them, they will be the enemy, and we can carry out open strikes. ”

In the past, the Ye family also blatantly traded with Wuhuan, but now that Wuhuan has invaded Youzhou, it is the enemy, and if it is traded blatantly like this, it will always attract criticism, so Ye Chen used this method to deal with it.

In fact, the most important thing is that he is afraid that Zhang Rang or the emperor will recall Ye Chen back to Luoyang, and now Jian Shuo has taken over Ye Chen's original position, Zhang Rang is not so urgent to recall himself, but the emperor still hopes that Ye Chen can return to Luoyang to take office.

But as long as the war in Youzhou is not completely over, then the imperial court will not easily recall itself, even if they want to, then He Jin and Yuan Kui will strongly oppose it.

Guan Yu and Tai Shici listened to it and thought deeply, so analyzed, then it is necessary for Chen Bing and King Qiao to act at the border, but although the relationship with King Qiao is good, once they can't control it, then they may backfire.

"My lord, it will be good for us to have soldiers at the border, so we can do it. It's just that we need a certain number of troops and generals to defend it, otherwise once there is an external force to intervene, or there is a change within Wuhuan, the troops we have deployed may be eaten. ”

After all, Wuhuan still has tens of thousands of troops, although he has a good relationship with the Ye family now, and the cooperation between the two sides is very good, but he can't tell when something will go wrong, once this happens, then the army on the border will definitely be hit by the other party at the first time.

"My lord, we now have 8,000 regular troops, as well as a few thousand Tuntian soldiers, these forces are enough to ensure that Liaodong is safe, and we can probably transfer 3,000 troops to the northern border."

The 3,000 army is not too much, it is not too much, it is too much, it is fully capable of self-preservation, at least it has enough strength to escape back when Wuhuan attacks. To say less, this bit of strength is not much of a threat to Wuhuan at all, and Wuhuan will not feel hidden danger because of this.

Several people discussed for a while, and finally Ye Chen made a decision and decided to send Tai Shici to lead three thousand soldiers and horses to the border.

Ye Chen later publicized and drove Wuhuan out of Youzhou, but Wuhuan still had the intention of invading south, so Ye Chen sent 3,000 troops to the border to resist the Wuhuan people.

At the same time, Ye Chen asked the counties of Youzhou to support grain, grass and other materials to fund him to fight against Wuhuan, because Liaodong was "poor and barren" and could not support the consumption of the garrison.

All the counties in Youzhou are afraid of the Wuhuan invasion, and they will suffer heavy losses as soon as the Wuhuan comes, and now there are people who are willing to send troops to resist the Wuhuan on the northern border, of course they are very willing, but they are just a little reluctant to ask them to pay.

However, under Ye Chen's activities, Guo Xun came forward, half requested, half threatened, agreed to give a part of the materials, and finally negotiated, and the state and the counties jointly funded the three thousand soldiers and horses.

At the same time, Ye Chen wrote to the imperial court, explaining his merits in fighting against Wuhuan, and then talking about the current situation, asking the imperial court to allocate funds for help, and finally the imperial court commended Ye Chen in writing, and at the same time exempted all taxes in Liaodong, of course, the other imperial courts were not prepared at all.

Ye Chen was very satisfied with this result, and he invisibly reduced the burden of three thousand soldiers and horses.

It is not easy for 3,000 soldiers and horses to spend money, and the grain and grass eaten by one horse is worth the food of several people, but fortunately they have pasture grass to eat on the grassland side, otherwise it would be a big burden to transport grain and grass alone.

After Ye Chen's arrangement, when the army reached the northern border, the scouts began to disperse and block the border line, and at the same time, Wuhuan also made a fake move and sent thousands of men and horses to confront them.

Of course, this is just an illusion, and it is only for the convenience of trading, and future transactions will be made directly in front of the military camps on both sides of the border.

When Ye Chen blocked the border, then all the other merchants who smuggled to Wuhuan couldn't get through, there were always small batches smuggled to Wuhuan in the past, of course, small batches were only relative to the caravan of thousands of people organized by the Ye family.

After garrisoning troops on the border, the Ye family's caravan can also reduce the manpower, without the escort of two or three thousand people in a caravan, now only a small number of guards are enough, and they can be handed over to Tai Shici when they arrive at the border, so that they are not afraid that the Wuhuan people will sneak attack.

In this way, the Ye family blocked a large area of the passage, and the trade in this area was completely monopolized by the Ye family, and the profits of the monopoly were amazing.
