"In addition, he obtained more than 1,300 war horses, more than 4,000 pairs of scimitars, bows and arrows, and a small amount of silver..."

After listening to the report, Ye Chen felt that it was still very impressive purely from the perspective of the ratio of investment and income, at least this time the income could earn back the military expenses, because there were more than a thousand war horses alone.

Although the scimitar of the grassland is useless, it is still possible to melt into iron and build farm tools, the bow and arrow is a good thing, the bow and arrow of the grassland is still good, and it is not bad compared to the production in Liaodong, and it can be used directly.

The war is coming, the preciousness of the war horse can be imagined, plus the income from other materials, at least from the economic aspect, this battle is not a loss.

But judging from the loss of personnel, Ye Chen was still very sad, more than a hundred people were killed in the battle, plus the injured, some of those injured must have to leave the battlefield forever.

But war is like this, the enemy wants to come and rob your things, kill your people, even if you lose all your money, you have to fight to the death.

"Except for the scouts, the rest of the people are all on board, and we are waiting on the coast, watching the movements of the Huns, waiting for an opportunity to act."

Ye Chen's strategy was very simple, just wait at sea, the Huns would not be able to beat them anyway, and they could log in anywhere on this long coastline.

Once the Xiongnu have made a move, they can adapt to the situation, they want to defend the city, they can log in to fight somewhere, and they want to continue to Liaodong, and the speed of the ship does not have to be slow for them, because it is impossible for the Xiongnu to be unobstructed along the way.

That night, Ye Chen received news that Bashuer led his troops north, which should be to join the Xiongnu on the other side of Lingzhi.

Ye Chen didn't leave immediately, because he didn't know if the Huns would return suddenly, and there were many wounded people in them, so they were not suitable for long-distance travel.

And Gongsun Du sent people down to start the activity, because the Xiongnu were gone, and he wanted to regain control of the two cities.

If nothing else, let's look at Liaodong's reaction.

When the entire Liaodong received Ye Chen's order and began to recruit militia, officials at all levels thought it was difficult at first, after all, the enemy was too big, and I don't know how many people would die in this battle.

But the result was unexpected, and it also let them know how strong the cohesion of the entire Liaodong is.

"Child, our life is all given by Lord Ye, now Lord Ye is in need, you must work hard, it doesn't matter if you are at home, your father can still work."

"Dad, don't worry, even if I work hard, I will complete Lord Ye's task, I will not let the Huns step into our Liaodong, and I will not let our family suffer from the previous suffering."

After the father and son finished talking, they said goodbye in tears, and there are still many fathers and sons or mothers and sons like Liaodong.

"Second brother, my brother is leaving, I don't know if I can come back, take care of my parents, if I can't come back, I received my brother's pension, hurry up and say that my family can't be broken."

"Brother, I want to be a soldier too."

"Brother..."Finally, the brother patted him on the shoulder, did not agree or object, and left with tears in his eyes.

"Sanwa, your eldest brother died on the way to escape the famine, your second brother used to be in the guard battalion, but now he has a broken leg, and now you are going to the battlefield, my mother is reluctant."

"Mother, the third brother is a soldier, it is his responsibility to protect the family and defend the country, without Lord Ye, we would not have the current life, maybe our family would have starved to death a long time ago."

"Third brother, follow Master Ye well, the second brother's leg is gone, otherwise it won't be your turn to go to the battlefield. With me at home, don't worry about your home, be more careful yourself. ”

"Second brother, you have always been my idol, and I will also become a hero like you, and I can also protect our homeland."

......

"Lady, it's okay for my father and mother, and the baby will be handed over to you." The man looked at the child in his wife's arms with great reluctance, he was only a few months old.

"Xianggong, you must come back safely."

"I will, if I really can't come back, you tell the baby that his father is a hero, and he will follow Lord Ye when he grows up in the future."

Tears goodbye, tears goodbye, this scene appeared all over Liaodong.

After Ye Chen's conscription order was issued to all parts of Liaodong, no one objected, let alone dared to obstruct it, and some actively participated.

Ye Chen asked two-thirds of the militia in each village to be conscripted, after all, the security and order of the village still needed to be maintained, so Ye Chen did not recruit everyone.

After the conscription order was issued, there was a spectacular and touching scene in all parts of Liaodong, except for the sad tears at home, almost the whole village came to see them off.

They went to war to protect their homeland, and their swords have no eyes, and they may never come back, but most of these villagers fled here.

They knew very well that someone had to stand up, otherwise as soon as the enemy came, there would be no more stable and prosperous life now.

At the entrance of the village, more than a dozen or dozens of militiamen lined up under the gaze of the whole village, saluted and left, and the meeting place was outside Yejiabao, where they formed a team first.

These militiamen were also respected by the people of Liaodong along the road, and on the road, if any peasants saw them, they would stand on the side of the road and let them pass first, while they watched them silently on the side of the road until they disappeared from sight.

Inside the workshop

"Isn't it already off work? You're all still there. "The workshop manager came back from the outside to check and pass the end of work, but the workshop was still in production.

"Lord Steward, Lord Ye once said that working hard to produce is also to serve the Lord, which can increase our strength. So we all want to stay and work overtime, don't pay overtime, produce more, and make our Liaodong stronger force. ”

"Yes, Lord Steward, we volunteered to stay and work overtime."

"We are strong, and the enemy will not dare to come in the future."

"Your Excellency..."

The steward knew that there were regulations in Liaodong that everyone could only work overtime for ten days a month, and no one dared to work overtime casually unless there were special circumstances, when the Taishou Mansion or the Ye family gave an order.

Now, the stewards understand that they can't be stopped, and it's a big deal to take responsibility for themselves.

Inside the school

"Teacher, is the enemy coming to attack us?"

"Teacher, will we be like before, without food, without a place to live, and have to wander around."

"Teacher, I'm going to be a soldier, and I can't beat the enemy away from this study."

"Teacher..."

"Students, be quiet. Master Ye said that only reading can better serve the adults, and reading can indeed not defeat the enemy, but it can produce better, better manage Liaodong, and play a greater role when the time comes. ”

"If you want to serve Lord Ye, then study hard, read good books, adults will be very happy, and they will reuse you, you can help Lord Ye do a lot of things."

After listening to the teacher's words, many people calmed down, no longer crying and shouting that they wanted to be soldiers, they all held back their strength and buried their heads in hard study.
