Chapter 376: Answer secret letter +4
As for Ye Anlan, her task is to continue to attack the city and occupy all the remaining territories of the Qin family before Pei Yuanjiang in the northwest decides to send troops.
Xie's troops are limited, Ye Anlan can't just pull a team away, she can only quickly recruit the original Qin's troops with the help of Wu's.
Because of Ye Anlan's consent, the Wu family soon made public appearances as a counselor. She no longer hid behind her husband, but directly followed Ye Anlan as Mrs. Wu to help her.
As for the son of Qin Chongyi under Wu's name, he and his family have been transferred to Zhengzhou, Xie Yuan's current headquarters, and they will spend their future life of leisure and prosperity under Xie Yuan's eyes.
Although he can no longer hold power and compete in the world, at least he doesn't have to worry about the livelihood of himself and his family.
Besides, Xie Yuan also promised him that he is the only one that the Xie family will never use. When his children and grandchildren grow up, the Xie family will not restrict them and forbid them to become officials.
This is Xie Yuan's glimmer of hope for the former young master of the Qin family, because of the face of the Wu family who voluntarily surrendered and made great contributions.

The day after taking Jinyang, Ye Anlan set off with a large number of troops.
Aside from Yang Xiaotao and Ye Anlan's confidantes, she was also joined by the former Qin family army and the current Xie family army headed by Mrs. Wu.
The meaning of existence of the Wu family and others is to allow the Xie family to win the most of the Qin family's territories with the least cost and the shortest time.
With them yelling to persuade them to surrender or contacting their relatives and friends to help them open the city gate privately, the new Xie family army led by Ye Anlan was in a state of invincibility.
The most important thing is that while their team won the city, miraculously, there were no casualties.
When the last county town that originally belonged to the Qin family was included in the territory of the Xie family, Ye Anlan finally received a secret letter from the intelligence system of the Xie family to answer questions.
Why is it called a Q&A secret letter? Because this letter answered Ye Anlan's question very well.
During the process of taking over the original territory of the Qin Clan, Ye Anlan was always wary of the Pei Clan on the other side of the Qin Clan.
But she was vigilant, vigilant, the string in her vigilant head was about to snap, but the Pei family still didn't show any signs of sending troops to seize Qin's territory, so Ye Anlan finished the fight full of suspicion. battle.
If Xie's intelligence agency hadn't sent this secret letter in time, Ye Anlan would have sneaked into the Northwest to find out information as soon as the defense work was arranged.
"The Pei family refused to accept the offer, so the Great Zhou court married a foreign race in the northwest? What a mess!" Ye Anlan complained while reading the letter, "The Great Zhou court has only a small piece of land left in Gyeonggi, and those foreign races Still marrying them into troubled waters, are these guys out of their minds?"
Li Jing heard that he had received the secret letter, and rushed over immediately after dealing with Jinyang's affairs, so he was also here with Ye Anlan at this time.
"It should be that they originally intended to violate the border, and marrying the Great Zhou court is just a smooth sailing."
Hearing what Li Jing said, Ye Anlan couldn't help but frowned slightly, "No wonder Mrs. Pei couldn't spare a hand to grab the territory from us."
Pei Yuanjiang, the lord of the Pei family, is a person with a big picture. Like his father, if there are foreign enemies, he will never give priority to dealing with other rebels adjacent to him.
Although he has not taken over for a long time, he has given up attacking his neighbors twice in succession in order to face the foreigners who are about to move in the northwest.
Even if this kind of person is an enemy, Ye Anlan can't be disgusted with him.
She pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and said to Li Jing, "Ah Jing, I want to go to Beijing."
Li Jing understood Ye Anlan's thoughts and purpose almost immediately, he sighed, "It's probably too late."
Ye Anlan counted the time, "How about I catch up and **** the princess who was married?"
Li Jing: …
He was silent for a moment, "Then let's go to Beijing." Just in case it's too late.
Ye Anlan smiled, "Then I'll get ready!"
They left as soon as they said they would, but suffered from a large number of officials sent by Xie Yuan to assist them.
The workload of these people was already huge, but now that the two leaders are the hands-off shopkeepers, their workload has suddenly increased a bit.
If Li Jing had not informed Xie Yuan and asked him to send Pei Huaiyu to sit in charge, these officials of the Xie family could have directly detained Li Jing.
What? You mean Ye Anlan? The kind of guy who didn't want to get involved in anything other than fighting, did they detain her to see her slacking off while they were crazy?
"By the way, do you know who the unlucky princess who got married?" On the way to the capital, Ye Anlan asked Li Jing in a loud voice while riding a horse.
Looking at her expression, Li Jing guessed that this person must be someone they knew.
He thought for a while, "Could it be Ji Yu's younger sister?"
Ye Anlan continued to sigh while nodding, "You are so smart, you can guess right."
Li Jing couldn't laugh or cry. They knew very few female relatives in the capital. Among them, there were only a handful of women who could be selected by the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty and sent to marry as princesses.
As for Ji Yu's younger sister, Ji Tian, she comes from a noble background, is of the right age, and her father and brother have no real power, so she is the best soft persimmon.
Ye Anlan sighed, "I quite like that girl, she has a very good temper, and she doesn't have the tiresome arrogance of royal nobles at all."
Li Jing didn't know how to answer. First, he had never dealt with that girl, and second, he was afraid that if he agreed, Ye Anlan would take a risk to save her.
He could only change the subject without a trace, "The candidate has been selected, what is the departure date?"
"It hasn't been decided yet, but it shouldn't take too long." Ye Anlan handed the newly received secret letter to Li Jing, "It says that the imperial court did not follow the rules step by step, but gathered together the dowry and dowry , Escort candidates, we will immediately send the girl to the northwest to get married."
Li Jing frowned, "What's the reaction from the Pei family? With the Pei family army guarding the pass, how will the sending team go out and hand over to the foreign race in the northwest?"
"Let's type it out." Ye Anlan recalled the Northwest map that he had carefully studied several times, "Or they will cross through the desert or Gobi, provided that they are not afraid of accidents and the entire army will be wiped out."
After being told by Ye Anlan, Li Jing immediately realized that this so-called marriage was probably just a cover to paralyze Pei.
He said to Ye Anlan: "There is a problem with the sending team!"
Ye Anlan was taken aback, "You mean officers and soldiers?"
