Chapter 489: Li Ru's Actions
After being angry, Ye Chen brought Zhang Qing over, and his holiday with Yuan Shao was absolutely unresolved, so the two sides were enemies, and they must treat the enemy without compromise.
"Lord, what's the matter with urgently recruiting subordinates?" The 50,000 people brought back from Luoyang this time were enough for Zhang Qing to be busy, and it was also a big project to send these 50,000 people back to Liaodong, so he felt very strange that Ye Chen had recruited him.
After Ye Chen said that Yuan Shao spread the news to frame him, Zhang Qing was also very angry.
"Don't worry, my lord, this time we have the experience of dealing with Nanyang, and we will definitely make a mess of Jizhou." Liaodong is Zhang Qing's home, and Ye Chen has the grace of knowing him, he must want to repay him, so his hatred for Yuan Shao is also very strong.
"Well, but don't be too anxious, this Jizhou is the richest place in the world, it is unrealistic to deal with Nanyang, Nanyang is only a county after all, and Jizhou is a state with a large volume, so you have to make long-term plans and prepare to harm Jizhou for a long time." Ye Chen was afraid that Zhang Qing would be too hasty, but it would be a bad thing, so he asked Zhang Qing not to be too aggressive.
Ye Chen and the others have 50,000 people here who need to eat and drink, so on the surface, the Ye family openly went to Nanyang, Jizhou and other places to purchase a batch of grain, but secretly they purchased a large amount of grain.
The Ye family also encountered a lot of problems when purchasing food, first of all, these grains were in the hands of the family, and the Ye family had to purchase food and encountered some troubles.
However, later the Ye family did not come forward to purchase directly, but found some local businessmen and families in the local area, and asked them to come forward to purchase, and the Ye family opened the way with tea, as long as they helped the Ye family to purchase food, the Ye family would give a lot of benefits, and giving them a batch of tea was the most important way, because tea is now very popular.
The purchase of a large amount of grain will inevitably lead to the rise in grain prices, and now Nanyang has risen by fifty percent, but it is not so easy for Jizhou to let them increase prices.
When Ye Chen received that Yuan Shao framed him and retaliated, Dong Zhuona also received relevant news.
"Taishi, this is good news, in order to shirk their responsibilities, the allies framed Ye Chen, so it is better for us to push the fire." Li Ru has a good sense of smell, and he has already seen the smell of conspiracy in it, so he plans to intervene.
Dong Zhuo's eyes turned, if he could give the allies and Ye Chenzhao any trouble, he was most willing, so he said without hesitation: "If there is any way, just say it." ”
"Taishi, it's actually very simple, Yuan Shao wants to wronged Ye Chen, but it doesn't play a role in Ye Chen, it's just Yuan Shao shirking responsibility, but if we give the allies a reason to confirm Ye Chen's crimes, then maybe the two sides will fight, even if they don't fight, there is nothing to lose to us." Li Ru said again.
"Okay, so how are you going to do that?"
"Taishi, we just need to make a holy decree to add an official to Ye Chen, and then release the gossip that Ye Chen has helped us a lot, so Yuan Shao will naturally use these things, and we don't have to worry about anything else."
"Okay, okay, just let them dog-eat-dog." Dong Zhuo was very happy, they were very satisfied with the coalition forces that had pitted tens of thousands, and now they could make things happen, which was what Dong Zhuo wanted to see the most.
Li Ru quickly went to prepare.
"Well, just seal Ye Chen as the state pastor of Youzhou, the current state pastor of Youzhou is Liu Yu, if Ye Chen is too ambitious and wants to annex Youzhou, maybe the two sides will fight, it will be better, and the rank of the general will be promoted from General Anbei to General Zhenbei, even if the title is forgotten, he is already a county marquis, and it would be too exaggerated to be promoted." Li Ru muttered to himself while writing the holy decree, imagining the scene of the princes fighting each other in his mind.
Soon the holy decree was written, and Li Ru went to the emperor to pass on the jade seal of the country, covered it, and in this way, he named Ye Chen as the general of Youzhou Mu and Zhenbei.
"Immediately send someone from the spirit point to the allied camp to announce the decree, and then go to Ye Chen to announce the decree after the announcement." Li Ru handed over the holy decree to his subordinates.
In order to provoke contradictions between the two sides, it is natural to be high-profile, and Li Ru directly sent people to the camp of the allied forces to announce the decree.
"Alliance leader, this Ye Chen is definitely colluding with Dong Zhuo, otherwise how could he Ye Chen, be named a state pastor? None of us are qualified, but he is qualified, and he is also crowned as the general of Zhenbei. ”
After Li Ru sent someone to deliver the decree, he convened an allied meeting, and all the princes gathered in the big tent, and Shanyang Taishou Yuan came out and said.
"That's right, I think that Ye Chen is a scourge, he is weak if he doesn't join the coalition, he has long planned to conspire with Dong Zhuo, alliance leader, we should take Ye Chen as soon as possible." As soon as Yuan Yi finished speaking, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao came out and said again.
Yuan Shao sat on it with a serious face, not knowing what he was thinking, while Cao Cao and Gongsun Zhan below were obviously very unhappy, but they never spoke.
Then a few more people came out to crusade against Ye Chen, reducing Ye Chen to a chaotic minister and thief.
"Hmm. Ye Chen did have this suspicion, but he couldn't be so arbitrary, but since everyone was suspicious, then immediately send a letter and let Ye Chen come and explain it in person. In the end, Yuan Shao made a decision on the motion.
Yuan Shao's words implied several meanings, one was that Ye Chen was suspicious, the second was that it was not an arbitrary decision, it was everyone's suspicion, and the third was to use the attitude of superiors to subordinates, what is it to send a letter to let Ye Chen come, Ye Chen is not his subordinate, what kind of letter to send.
When everyone heard Yuan Shao's words, many people would smile, as if Ye Chen was already a chaotic minister and thief, just waiting for him to carry all the black cauldrons away after he came.
After Yuan Shao gave the order, they moved quickly, someone had already prepared pen and ink and other things, and immediately began to write letters, and then sent them quickly.
When Yuan Shao convened a meeting of the allied forces, Li Ru's envoy came to Ye Chen's military camp and read out the holy decree.
When the holy decree was read, Ye Chen sat on the chair calmly, without any intention of getting up, which made the messenger who delivered the decree very embarrassed, but there was no way Ye Chen could not even Dong Zhuo, what was he.
"Go back and tell Dong Zhuo, I have accepted the holy decree, his generous gift, I, Ye Chen, am not an ungrateful person, and I will give him a return gift soon." After speaking, Ye Chen waved his hand and asked him to go out.
"Second brother, why did this Dong Zhuo suddenly give you the title of official, what kind of heart is An?" After the messenger left, Tai Shici asked puzzled.
"It's nothing more than fanning the flames, now Yuan Shao is making trouble for me and wants to push the defeat of the allies to me, Li Ru seized the opportunity and wanted to create more trouble for me, so that I could break with the allies and even develop into a war."
Dong Zhuo gave him a big official, he definitely didn't have any good intentions, and after a little analysis, he could know what they wanted to do.
"Lord, Dong Zhuo is really insidious, we can't let them fan the flames on the sidelines." Guan Yu said angrily.
"Order Feng Xiao to immediately let the fleet cruise on the Yellow River, and try to attack, and attack Dong Zhuo when he has the opportunity." Come and don't be rude, since Dong Zhuo is unkind, don't blame him for being unjust.
