Chapter 287: self burial
Chapter 287 Dig a pit and bury yourself
The crowd left the city, returned to the barracks along the opposite direction of the army, and then braced their tired bodies to report to Xie Yuan on the completion of their mission.
Seeing them, Xie Yuan immediately ordered the wounded to be sent to the military doctor, and then ordered the cook to prepare food to replenish their strength.
After the two orders were passed on, he invited Ye Anlan and others to sit down in his military tent to discuss the matter.
Ye Anlan was also a little tired, especially after returning to a safe place, she wanted to finish the routine report earlier, and then went back to rest immediately.
Sitting down where Xie Yuan started, she said bluntly to Xie Yuan: "We have opened the city gate of Suzhou as planned, and the Thunderbolt bullets are useless. I left them for the frontline vanguard. When we came back, our side More than 4,000 soldiers and horses have entered Suzhou City."
Xie Yuan nodded, "The latest battle report just received shows that the enemy army showed signs of rout a quarter of an hour ago."
Xie Yuan is in the middle army, and there are fast horses passing information back and forth on the front line, so Ye Anlan and the others walked back on their legs, but the news is relatively lagging behind Xie Yuan's side.
"That's good." Ye Anlan herself had led troops into battle before, so she was familiar with the routines involved, so she was not surprised that Xie Yuan was able to grasp the battle situation on the front line.
The two chatted casually, and Ye Anlan took Yang Xiaotao and the others back to her military tent.
When she had had enough rest, Li Jing came here specially, firstly to bring her food, and secondly to tell her that Suzhou has fallen into Xie Yuan's hands.
After hearing this, Ye Anlan planned to take people back to Mount Meng. She told Li Jing of her plan. Li Jing had expected it, and immediately asked people to bring over the books on farming, architecture, and water conservancy that he had collected during this period.
He said to Ye Anlan: "I haven't found a good copybook recently. When will I find it, and I will send it to Mengshan with the letter."
Ye Anlan: _(:з」∠)_
She has piled up no less than 20 copies of various copybooks sent by Li Jing's people. If this pit was not dug by herself, she must immediately reject Li Jing's plan to send copybooks without hesitation.
But the problem is, she dug this hole herself ┭┮﹏┭┮
Whatever she was thinking, her expression showed it vividly. Li Jing caught a glimpse of the expression she was trying to hold back while trying to say something, and could not help but feel a slight pain in her stomach.
He asked Ye Anlan, "When do you plan to say goodbye to the lord?"
"I'll go later." She planned to bring her team back to Mount Meng tomorrow, so naturally she had to say hello to Xie Yuan one day in advance.
However, what Ye Anlan didn't expect was that after she had already said her farewell words, Xie Yuan could actually give her another job the next day.
What job? Escorted Xie Yuan's wife and children to meet his uncle.
Xie Yuan's wife gave birth to a son ten months ago. When the news was sent to Mrs. Ye, Ye Anlan thought at first that she was scanning too quickly.
She slowed down, compared the words with her right index finger, and read them vertically column by column for a total of two times. Only then did she recover from the unbelievable emotion before.
It's not that she doesn't want Xie Yuan to have successors, it's really Xie Yuan and his wife, they really hid this matter too well.
The long pregnancy and difficult childbirth in Ye Anlan's impression seemed to be non-existent here.
It gives people the feeling that this is not a woman who conceived in October and gave birth to a child, but a little hen who laid a hot egg every day_(:з」∠)_
The shock came too suddenly, Ye Anlan suspected that it was understandable for her to be wrong.
Of course, this also proves that Xie Yuan's secrecy work is very good.
Although Ye Anlan didn't plant too many eyeliners on Xie Yuan's side in order to avoid suspicion, she did plant an unknown number of eyeliners in the surrounding territories of other rebel forces.
Similarly, on Xie Yuan's territory, there are also countless eyeliners planted by other rebel forces.
But none of these eyeliners noticed that Xie Yuan's wife was already pregnant with Liujia.
It was not until the child was born safely that Xie Yuan chose to reveal a little news.
Perhaps because he expected that Ye Anlan would be knocked out by the thunder, Xie Yuan briefly explained the various concerns of the couple in his personal letter to Ye Anlan.
After reading the letter, Ye Anlan not only did not have any dislike for his playing tricks, but even appreciated his strict protection of his wife and children.
As Xie Yuan said, there are too many people who don't want Mrs. Xie to give birth to a child, and some people who are not from other rebel forces at all, but for their own self-interest, hope that Mrs. Xie will never give birth to a son. .
Because only if Mrs. Xie can't give birth to a legitimate son, Xie Yuan will accept their suggestion and add new people to his back house.
Where does the newcomer come from? Naturally, they would come to the homes of his subordinates who intended to send their daughters into Xie Yuan's back house.
After all, she is just a concubine, and it is definitely impossible to marry with other powers. Let alone Mrs. Xie's natal family will definitely not allow it, just talk about other powers. They are not stupid, so naturally they will not leave the position of a good wife. Lowering his figure, he rushed to give Xie Yuan his daughter and niece as concubines.
But for the sake of Xie Yuan’s future children’s births not to be criticized by others, Xie Yuan can’t just buy a few servants who were born as slaves to have children for him.
In this case, Xie Yuan's best choice is to choose a concubine from among his subordinates' sisters, daughters, and nieces.
In order to fight for this opportunity, many people under Xie Yuan's command are actually silently hoping that Mrs. Xie will never have a child.
Of course, these people are basically not very important to Xie Yuan. Under Xie Yuan's account, they belong to the mid-level players who are both important and not particularly important.
Those top players who can be regarded as his right-hand men, on the contrary, disdain to use this method to get closer to Xie Yuan.
What delighted Xie Yuan and disappointed those with ulterior motives was that although Mrs. Xie conceived late, she gave birth to a healthy and lively little boy in her first child.
By the time the news gradually spread, it was time for the child to have a full moon banquet. Mrs. Xie had returned to her previous shrewdness after confinement. With her in charge, it would be too late for others to do anything.
But it is such a child who is regarded as a treasure by Xie Yuan and his wife, and now Xie Yuan actually wants to send him to his uncle's territory? Ye Anlan said that she couldn't understand Xie Yuan's brain circuit.
She asked Xie Yuan, "If I remember correctly, your son should be under one year old, right?"
Xie Yuan smiled bitterly, "There's nothing I can do about it. My brother-in-law was accidentally injured more than a month ago before the battle. He has been raised for such a long time but has not been able to recover well. He sent a letter to say that he wanted to see my wife for the last time. , I also want to see his nephew who has never met before. My wife cried like something when she saw the letter, and she insisted on taking her son back to her natal home, even my staff who stayed in the mansion and presided over the overall situation could not persuade her."
