Although Zhu Qing had already explained that Wu Zhi would be cautious when going south and that the Shen family would also help, Wen Xian was still a little worried.

The south is a tough nut to crack, especially in the Jiangnan area, which is rich in products and has more people fighting for it.

But it is impossible to give up because of the difficulty, and we can only let Wu Zhi toss it first and see what he can come up with.

Seeing that Wen Xian was a little anxious, Zhu Qing couldn't help but comfort him: "Doctor Wen, please relax. General Wu Zhi can break into the capital alone and escape unharmed, which proves that he is not an ordinary person."

Although he was seriously injured when he returned from the capital, his life was saved and he got what he wanted. This is victory.

No matter how difficult it is in the Jiangnan area, it is still easier than the capital city. He believed that Wuzhi would win and there would be no other problems.

Wen Xian sighed and said, "I hope that's the case. I don't want to lose a general."

Still a kind and righteous general.

However, no matter what she thought, people were already gone and she couldn't stop them.

She had to deal with matters in the north as soon as possible, and then she could move to the south to support Wuzhi.

But she couldn't leave the north alone. At least, she had to follow another city before she could go to the south with confidence.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Before Wen Xian went to find Wu Zhong, news came from Wu Zhong that Jeju Prefecture had won without a fight.

They have settled in Jeju Prefecture and have placed their own people on patrol.

Wen Xian was very surprised. Then she read the letter below and finally understood the situation.

It turned out that after Wu Zhong led the Wu family army outside Jeju City, he was still preparing to attack Jeju City as ordered by the Minbei Prefecture.

But before they could implement it, the prefect of Jeju Prefecture and the generals of the city defense army came out of the city and welcomed them in respectfully.

They also expressed their willingness to follow the empress, and the Jeju government was willing to submit to the empress and swear to be loyal to the empress to the death.

Wu Zhong didn't understand the situation, let alone whether they were really surrendering or pretending to surrender.

We can only resort to tricks first. On the one hand, we will cautiously test and deal with them, and on the other hand, we will send people to investigate the specific situation.

Only after he figured out the situation did he know that it was true, and then he dared to pass the news back to Wen Xian.

Wen Xian raised her eyes and said to Jiang Chen, "What does Young Master Jiang think of this matter?"

Surrendering without any reason, there must be something she doesn't know about.

After all, she is not confident enough to think that people submit to her just because they obey her.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and said: "Perhaps, the prefect of Jeju Prefecture and the generals of the city defense army are just like Guanping Prefecture, they are all people who understand current affairs."

Guanping Prefecture was recaptured without spending a single soldier, and other prefectures and cities were also recovered.

He paused and added: "Moreover, Madam is building a factory to benefit the people. Maybe the Jeju government wants to do the same."

When the people are rich, it is easy to be a magistrate. If you can be an official easily and comfortably, no one wants to go into hard mode.

What's more, Guanping Prefecture has already tried it, and it's not impossible for their Jeju Prefecture to do the same.

"That makes sense." Wen Xian nodded, "Now that the poison in your body has been detoxified, you have also learned a lot from Zhu Qing. If you are asked to take people to Jeju Prefecture to complete the construction of a factory and a store, I wonder if you can complete it? "

Jeju City and the city further north are both coastal cities. She wanted to use all the tricks of Guan Ping Mansion and make full use of sea resources.

Where crops are barren, other solutions should be found. This is also a back-up guarantee for the court.

Although Jiang Chen is not a businessman, he has been in charge of the Jiang family for two years. These things should not be difficult for him. After all, if Zhu Qing had to do this all by himself, winter would have already entered when it was Jeju Prefecture's turn.

If the sea freezes in winter and you cannot go to sea, even if the factory is built, it will not be put into use and the results will not be seen immediately.

Jiang Chen stood up quickly, cupped his hands and said, "But according to Madam's instructions, Jiang will do his best to complete the task."

His poison has been cured, and he is no longer the sickly man who coughs every three steps and gasps for five steps.

Although the physical foundation damaged by poisoning in the past still needs to continue to be recuperated. But he still hopes to be reused to prevent the Jiang family from being abandoned by the new dynasty.

To maintain the position of the Jiang family, the only way now is to firmly hold on to Wen Xian. Otherwise, the Jiang family will not be able to support Xiao Chu Yi in the future.

"That's very good." Wen Xian said happily, "As for Jeju Mansion, I'll leave it to Young Master Jiang."

The situation in Minbei Mansion is special. She can't leave yet, but she can't let Jiang Chen fight alone.

Therefore, she transferred Bai Qiangwei and Wu Junlan and asked them to handle the affairs of Jeju Palace together with Jiang Chen.

Luckily for Wu Junlan, he had already made plans to charge into battle. I am eager to go to Jeju City and look forward to it.

But Bai Qiangwei is different. Although she has become a lot bolder recently, she is still a timid and weak little white flower.

Therefore, Wen Xian arranged two special forces and a personal guard for each of them, and Bai Qiangwei followed them on the road to Jeju Mansion with peace of mind.

Actually, Wen Xian still had something to say.

That was the news that Wu Zhong investigated. Shortly after Wen Zhan announced that he would give her twenty cities, he sent his troops south to continue to recover the cities for her.

If the investigation results are correct, Wu Zhong will be able to meet Wen Zhan's large army after regaining another city.

In other words, when they met, the entire north belonged to her territory.

Wen Xian guessed that this was also the reason why the Jeju prefect and the generals who defended the city surrendered so readily.

Not only that, she also guessed that the next city would be like Jeju Prefecture, which would win without a fight and surrender directly.

After all, even if they could persist in confronting Wu Zhong, they could not withstand Wen Zhan's cavalry army.

If you cooperate readily and surrender, you can still leave a good impression and continue to shine in your original position.

Of course, this is just Wu Zhong's guess. Wen Zhan didn't send her a letter, and she didn't want to reveal so much.

But she believed that this was almost true.

Therefore, she planned to go directly south to meet Wuzhi after finishing the matter here in Minbei Prefecture.

After all, Wen Zhan was already here, so she could just leave it to Wen Zhan without making a special trip north.

After Zhu Qing finished his work in Minbei Prefecture, he could just go directly to the last coastal city in the north.

As for Jiang Chen, after finishing the affairs of Jeju Palace, he can also go south and start building the southern city.

Xu was worried that Wen Xian would stay in these war-torn places for too long, and he was also worried that she would be in danger.

Things were almost done here in Minbei Mansion. When they were about to go south, Wen Zhan led his cavalry army and rushed outside Minbei Mansion.

Smoke and dust billowed, and the sound of neat cavalry sounded from far to near. The defenders felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy. He quickly signaled the people to enter the city, closed the city gate tightly, and hurriedly came to report to Wen Xian.
