After deciding to send troops, Tai Shici, Guan Yu and Bai Feng went separately to prepare.

In fact, there is no need to prepare too much, the guard battalion has always been in combat readiness, and it will soon be fully equipped and assembled, but Bai Feng has more things to prepare.

After the departure of the five thousand cavalry, the entire Ye family, including Yuxian, the defense will be much empty, of course, there is no enemy at present, and there will be no major incidents, but be careful, necessary preparations are necessary.

Ye Chen himself returned to Yejiabao first, he had to negotiate with Lu Batu, while Tai Shici and Guan Yu made the necessary preparations.

At noon the next day, Ye Chen returned to Yejiabao, but he did not meet Lu Batu immediately, but first asked Liu Qi and Wang Tianshu for information.

Intelligence shows that the Xiongnu are already preparing and intend to send a large army to the east to conquer Wuhuan and completely annex it.

The reason for this is that last winter's snowstorm left a deep impression on the various ethnic groups and tribes of the grassland.

Recently, according to weather observations, this winter will not be better than last winter, so the peoples on the grassland began to think about it, the Xiongnu not only conquered Wuhuan this time, but also invaded the state.

The Huns chose this time to invade because the grain was ripe at this time, and the invasion could obtain a large amount of grain at this time, and only if there was enough food, they could survive the winter.

The Wuhuan people also stepped up the purchase of materials, and a large number of large quantities of grain were transported to the grassland through the Ye family, of course, the price of the Ye family was twice the price in the south, and the Wuhuan people could not get a large amount of food from others, so they could only grit their teeth and buy it from Ye Chen.

However, the Wuhuan people were not short of money at this time, because they purchased a large amount of Du Kang wine from Ye Chen, some of these Du Kang wines were drunk by themselves, and some of them were sold to the Xiongnu.

They got a lot of profit from it, which is one of the reasons why the Huns wanted to destroy them, who called them very rich now.

Of course, this is just the speculation of the Huns, what they don't know is that the wealth of the Wuhuan people has fallen into Ye Chen's pocket.

"Lubatu, I already know your intention to come this time, but you know that our Ye family does not deal in iron tools, and what we can provide is limited." After Ye Chen understood the situation, he came to see Lubatu.

"My lord, you must help us get through this time, otherwise we will be in real danger this time." As soon as Lu Batu came, he played the emotional card, and he also knew that ironmaking was a monopoly of the imperial court, but now the major families are not so honest, and the Ye family must have it, but I don't know how many.

"I wonder what you're asking for this time?" Ye Chen said casually, speaking very casually.

"We mainly want weapons this time, one million arrows and 100,000 weapons." Lu Batu seemed to know that he wanted a little too much, and looked at Ye Chen pitifully after speaking.

"What? So much. Ye Chen jumped up when he heard this, and said loudly.

"How many people are there in the King of Cliffs, and they want so many weapons, not to mention the others, can my Ye family take them out?"

Ye Chen really took out a million arrows, but this would empty the Ye family's warehouse, why did the Ye family have so many reserves?

After building farm tools, the craftsmen were not willing to be idle, so they began to build weapons, the last Wuhuan siege gave them a deep impression, so they made a large number of arrows, the guard battalion had 10,000 people, and they specially prepared a hundred for each of the guard battalions.

There are also a lot of other weapons, and many of them are works used by apprentices to practice, and they were originally intended to be melted down to make farm tools, but they were left behind by Ye Chen, because these are ordinary iron tools, not steel made by the steel filling method.

Ye Chen stayed not because of the unpredictable prophet, but because he had long planned to sell it, but what he wanted to sell was not the Wuhuan people, but because he wanted to wait for the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he would definitely need a large number of weapons, and he would not sell the excellent weapons, but these poor ones could be sold.

Nalubatu saw Ye Chen jumping up, and hurriedly said: "My lord, this time the murderous Huns are going to annex our entire Wuhuan, so this time it is not only our Qiaowang's business, but also our entire Wuhuan people's business, so we want to raise the whole clan to fight the Xiongnu this time, but the weapons are really insufficient." ”

Of course, Ye Chen couldn't give as much as he said, if the Huns really killed it, it would be fine, if they didn't kill it, the Wuhuan people got so many weapons, and the next step was to invade the south again.

"Lu Batu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but our Ye family only has a small reserve of weapons, if you want farming tools, we have a lot of them, weapons are taboo things, even if I help you go to the major families to buy them, then there is no way to get so many things out at once."

Weapons are to be sold, but the price must be raised first, why are the weapons dealers so profitable in the future, that is, you don't have this thing yourself, and you need it very much, don't kill who you kill.

Ye Chen did not reject Lu Batu at once, but said some difficulties, these difficulties are reasonable, Lu Batu felt hopeful when he heard it, and said excitedly: "My lord, please help us, otherwise we will be annexed by the Huns." ”

"Well, I'll do my best to help you no matter what. It's just that I buy weapons from major families, and the price is definitely not low. ”

"No problem, no problem, the price is negotiable."

Lu Batu really fell into the trap, in fact, it was not that he was stupid, but that he had no choice, the pressure on them was too great, and they really didn't know where to get weapons except Ye Chen.

"Well, I will raise you 100,000 arrows and 5,000 weapons in three days. However, the price of an arrow is 100 yuan, and a weapon costs 100,000 yuan. ”

Ye Chen raised the price more than ten times at once, and said with an expression of love or not.

After listening to this, Lu Batu secretly calculated in his heart, but the result he calculated was that Ye Chen had doubled the price, and it turned out that the price of the weapons they had obtained from others before was also very high.

Lu Batu knew that this time it would definitely not be calculated according to the normal price, Ye Chen doubled the price, within the range of his heart, and he had also discussed with the king of the cliff before coming, this price was acceptable.

If Ye Chen knew what the other party thought, he would definitely regret it, he didn't think about the price of the original Wuhuan people to get the iron tools, just counting the selling price on their side, when he thought that the price had increased more than ten times, he was still secretly proud in his heart for a long time, and he finally became an arms dealer again.

"Dear lord, this price is fine, but the quantity is too small, too little."

"It's a little less, but my Ye family can only raise so much in three days, if you want more, you have to find more families to buy, so our Ye family has to take a very big risk. If we let the court know that we bought weapons, they will think that our Ye family is going to rebel, and if we let the court know that we sell weapons to you, it will also punish the nine clans. ”

Ye Chen said to Lu Batu in a heavy tone.

Lu Batu couldn't refute it when he heard it, this is the way it is, if people know that Ye Chen sold weapons to them, it would be the crime of colluding with foreign clans and punishing the nine clans.

"My lord, you must have a way, you must have a way. This time, our king specially asked me to bring 10,000 sheep and 1,000 fine horses to give to adults, please help us. ”

Ye Chen scolded secretly in his heart, this Wuhuan man also plays with himself, and he has a gift that he has only said until now, and he doesn't scatter eagles if he doesn't see a rabbit.

"Okay, there's still time, I'll help you raise weapons as soon as possible. King Qiao is an important partner of our Ye family, it is impossible to ignore it, if there is a need, our Ye family will immediately organize 5,000 cavalry to assist King Qiao to jointly resist the Xiongnu. ”

Ye Chen said impassionedly, and Lu Batu was stunned for a moment. Originally, he secretly scolded Ye Chen in his heart for being a profiteer and taking advantage of the fire to rob, but now everyone is willing to send troops to help him, what a deep friendship this is.

Although Lu Batu looked down on the five thousand cavalry of the Ye family and thought that they were vulnerable in front of the grassland eagles, the kindness of the people could not be refused.

"Then thank you, my lord, my lord's most honored friend of our grassland."

"Of course, this dispatch is no problem, we will also carry some arrows and weapons to you at that time, but this dispatch costs a lot." Ye Chen looked at Lu Batu very embarrassed.

When Lu Batu heard this, he scolded wildly in his heart: "This shameless Han man originally thought that he was sincerely helping us, but he didn't expect that he just wanted to blackmail us." This is a change of law to ask for money, and any military expenses are fake. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, we will provide you with another 20,000 cattle and sheep and 2,000 war horses, and I hope that your lord will bring us the weapons we need as soon as possible."

The Xiongnu side has already begun to prepare for war, and is moving towards the Wuhuan people, and they will be able to attack in about ten days, so Lu Batu doesn't want to bargain with Ye Chen at all, he just wants to get the weapon as soon as possible.

"Okay, we'll set off in five days, and we'll give you the 100,000 arrows and 5,000 weapons we've gathered, and I hope you'll send the money, cattle and sheep with you, it's a good deal." After talking about the price conditions, Ye Chen said to Lu Batu with a smile.

Rubatu was stunned, didn't he say that it would take three days to raise weapons. This time there was a weapon right away, so he could take it with him right away.

Of course, he was happy to have weapons, and Lu Batu didn't care about the others and hurriedly retreated, and told Ye Chen that things such as money, cattle and sheep had been transported to the border and could be traded immediately.
