When Yuan Shu received the news, he was not happy, he didn't understand anything.

In contrast, his army lost several thousand, and immediately ran out of troops, and the most important thing he did in Hongyang County was to recruit troops.

However, can Yuan Shu recruit soldiers and horses? After all, he only has a few counties now.

The answer is yes, but it is still fast, this has recruited 10,000 soldiers and is starting training, but there is still a shortage of weapons and equipment.

So why did Ye Chen recruit so long to recruit two thousand people, while Yuan Shu was able to recruit so many?

There are two reasons, one is that Yuan Shu's requirements for soldiers are not so high, and the other is the help of many families in Nanyang.

In this era, the families would raise a large number of doormen and Zhuang Ding, and Yuan Shu was to let these families come out and gather these people, so they quickly gathered 10,000 soldiers.

"My lord, although we have soldiers, we lack training, coupled with insufficient weapons and equipment, and the Liaodong Army occupies the city, if we want to win, I'm afraid it's not so easy." Yuan Shu's staff said.

"No matter what method you use, you must drive Ye Chen out of Nanyang as soon as possible, otherwise let him continue to spoil like this, will Nanyang still be Nanyang?" Yuan Shu said angrily.

"There are only two ways to do this." His staff said.

Yuan Shu was obviously impatient, and said impatiently: "Is there any way to say it as soon as possible." ”

"My lord, first, we will continue to recruit troops and horses and train soldiers, but we also need to recruit generals, and the generals in our army are too far behind the Liaodong Army; Another way is to find reinforcements, it is difficult for us to be hostile to Ye Chen alone, and we must find reinforcements from outside to expel him. Yuan Shu's staff said.

Yuan Shu followed the advice, and did not rush south to find trouble with Ye Chen, as they are now, they can't help Ye Chen, Yuan Shu is also very aware of the strength of the Liaodong Army, they are all cavalry, if they ambush them halfway, it will be dangerous at that time.

First of all, Yuan Shu recruited a group of people, including Ji Ling, who worshiped Ji Ling as a general, commanded all the soldiers and horses, and began training.

In addition, he selected a group of staff, these staff members were somewhat famous, Yuan Shu appointed them as envoys, and set off with his handwritten letter to find reinforcements and prepare to deal with Ye Chen.

Ye Chen knew Yuan Shu's movements, but Ye Chen didn't pay attention to him, after he arrived in Wancheng, he occupied the county guard mansion and settled there.

"Today's banquet for everyone, although they are all their own people, but since leaving Liaodong, follow me all the way to fight, we can achieve today's results, and everyone's efforts are inseparable, thank you for the wine in your hand today."

Ye Chen hosted a banquet in the county guard mansion for several of his generals, Guan Yu, Tai Shici, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Hutou, and Guo Jia.

Although they are all their own people, Ye Chen is the lord, and this posture still has to be put on a posture

Several subordinates were very moved, and they followed such a lord to fight the world, with passion and hope.

A few people chatted while eating, although Ye Chen didn't have a big shelf, but he had been in a high position for a long time, and he still cultivated the aura of a superior, and at the same time, several people also respected Ye Chen very much, don't look at him young, but he led them to lay a huge foundation.

Halfway through the banquet, Ye Chen said, "Everyone is here today, let's talk about what to do next?" Do you have any suggestions? ”

"Lord, this Nanyang is a rich land, and the population is large, we have already occupied most of the territory, so we will simply occupy this Nanyang." Xu Huang said while eating a chicken leg.

Ye Chen shook his head lightly when he heard this, this Nanyang is indeed a good place, but it is not his own territory after all.

"Lord, it's not appropriate to occupy Nanyang, some forces around here will definitely not watch us grow bigger, and they will join forces to attack us when the time comes, I'm afraid even Liaodong will be in danger, but although you can't occupy this place all the time, it's really okay to occupy this place for a while longer." After speaking, Guo Jia laughed.

Everyone can hear Guo Jia's words, what is it to occupy for a while longer, of course, it is to be scraped, and the land of Nanyang will be scraped three layers.

"Okay, then let's occupy this period of time more, and then what to do, what do you think?"

"Second brother, we still have a little few soldiers and horses, do you want to recruit more and take the opportunity to expand the army?" Tai Shi Ci said.

Ye Chen thought for a while and said: "The expansion of the army is necessary, and the manpower can be recruited first, but the matter of the expansion of the army will be talked about back in Liaodong, and I plan to reorganize the army in Liaodong later, and establish heavy cavalry, light cavalry, heavy infantry, light infantry and other types of troops, so that our army in Liaodong will be more reasonable." Ye Chen said.

"Lord, it is indeed necessary to form multiple arms, so that it is reasonable, and when fighting a war, all branches of the army cooperate with each other and can give full play to their strength." Guan Yu nodded and said.

After hearing this, everyone knew the benefits of multi-arms and multi-arms, and they all agreed to form other arms.

Now that we're done with this topic, let's move on to the rest.

Guo Jia stood up and said: "Lord, recently I studied your matter of creating a money shortage in Nanyang, this method can not only make us make a fortune, but also greatly damage the economy of Nanyang, but it will not hurt ordinary people very much, so my subordinates suggest that we continue to increase our efforts to create a money shortage." ”

Guo Jia's proposal was also quickly passed.

"Okay, that's it, let's assign the task." When Ye Chen said this, everyone else put down what they were in their hands and listened.

"Feng Xiao presided over the matter of Wancheng scraping, we occupied Wancheng and have not started to move, this Wancheng is the essence of the entire Nanyang, we have time, so Feng Xiao will bother more." Ye Chen looked at Guo Jia and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, the lord will scrape Wancheng out of three layers of land." Guo Jia said.

"Okay, Komeito." Ye Chen said to Xu Huang: "Gongming is responsible for defending Wancheng, and training new soldiers, with the assistance of the tiger head, we will recruit an additional five thousand men and horses this time." ”

Xu Huang and Hutou both stood up and took over the task.

"Yun Chang, eldest brother, third brother, the three of you are responsible for leading the troops to continue south, taking all the remaining county seats, and then collecting property, and the other is responsible for recruiting qualified soldiers and sending them to Wancheng, so that Gongming can train with Hutou."

The three of them also took on the task.

At this banquet, several people talked very happily, and gave everything for the next period of time while eating and drinking.

Ye Chen and they not only want to completely destroy Nanyang's economy, but also collect a large amount of treasures, conservatively estimated, it is not difficult to collect two or three billion dollars, the other is to recruit soldiers and horses, two thousand have been recruited before, and five thousand soldiers and horses are being recruited, the entire Nanyang area is two or three times the population of Liaodong, and it is not difficult to recruit thousands of soldiers and horses.

Yuan Shu was preparing, Ye Chen was also preparing, both sides were rushing for time, Ye Chen knew that Yuan Shu would definitely come to attack him, and when the time came, he would finish his preparations, and scrape Nanyang again, and fight if he wanted to.
