Mother, I have returned to the throne.

After returning to the military camp by the Peacock River, Song Yuan immediately gave orders, asking everyone to prepare to cross the Peacock River and recover the lost territory!

In the tent, Song Yuan's eyes were burning, and his pupils were flashing with his determination to regain the lost territory!

This time, we must not repeat the same mistakes!

Especially the matter of escorting food and grass, we must wait until the subsequent food and grass arrives, and tens of thousands of troops will personally escort them and bring these supplies into the city together!

Not only that, but also the materials for repairing the city walls and various supplies to resist the severe cold must all be prepared before setting off!

Song Yuan really didn't want to face the dilemma of killing horses to fill his stomach and then having nothing to use as ignition!

As Song Yuan issued one order after another, the entire Zhenbei Army started to operate completely at this moment like a sophisticated machine.

Gear connection, efficient and precise.

While everyone was busy, Song Yuan finally saw Zheng He again!

Seeing Song Yuan's familiar face, Zheng He's face showed some nervousness. The difference from last time was that the positions of the two people had undergone a drastic reversal.

Before, Zheng He was the main commander and Song Yuan was only responsible for cooperating with him.

But it is no exaggeration to say that Song Yuan now has the power of life and death over Zheng He!

As a smart man, Zheng He naturally knew the gap between the two sides. Although he wanted to show goodwill, he did not greet them immediately.

After all, he couldn't figure out whether Song Yuan would hold a grudge because of what happened before?

"General Zheng, we are old acquaintances. If you ask me, you should take it easy!" Song Yuan repeatedly noticed Zheng He's embarrassment, and with a smile on his face, he spoke first.

After hearing this, Zheng He nodded cautiously.

"Your Highness, I have something to say to you back in Mohai City..."

Following Song Yuan's gesture of goodwill, Zheng He wanted to be the first to bow his head and resolve the grudge.

But before he could finish his sentence, Song Yuan suddenly waved his hand, interrupting Zheng He's next words.

"Alright, alright, there's no need to talk about the past!"

"As the saying goes, everyone serves his master. As a general at the time, your choice was understandable. The most you can say is that you didn't know that God was meddling!"

"I came to see you today, not to reminisce about the past, but I just want to ask you something."

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

Zheng He's tone relaxed, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.

It seems that the prince in front of him is much more generous than he imagined. As long as he doesn't settle scores later, there is nothing he can't ask.

"I'm very curious, why did you try to capture General Wei?" Song Yuan was silent for a moment, and finally expressed his doubts.

Faced with such a statement, Zheng He's face suddenly darkened, and his heart, which had originally calmed down, became heavier again!

Because he had dealt with Song Yuan before, Zheng He was particularly clear that the answer to the question he was about to answer might very well be related to his future situation!

Can I continue to stay in the Zhenbei Army?

Can I continue to lead troops in the army?

Perhaps, everything depends on how you answer!

Out of uneasiness, Zheng He couldn't help but glance at the deputy general beside him, because only he knew the inside story.

Zheng He was completely confused at the time. If he was alone, how could he make the right judgment?

It was the deputy general beside him who advised him, which caused Zheng He to turn against General Wei and capture him, and then he turned to Song Yuan for help!

Noticing Zheng He's gaze, the deputy general suddenly stepped forward and responded to Song Yuan on behalf of his immediate general.

"Your Highness, the main reason I persuaded the commander-in-chief before was because I believed in General Murong's character!"

"Once upon a time, I served under General Murong. We spent a long time together, so I naturally know his character. At least in my opinion, General Murong can't tolerate any injustice. But now even he is on the opposite side of General Wei, which can only mean one thing!"

"General Murong doesn't care about money or status. Otherwise, how could he be just a deputy general? He cares about morality. I'm afraid it's because General Wei has done something against his conscience and harmed others that General Murong chose to turn against us!"

"Also, I believe in my compatriots. I believe that everyone has a pair of sharp eyes. Your Highness may be able to bribe most of them, but there are some people with backbones who cannot be bribed no matter what!"

"But the prince clearly supports the army. This detail alone is enough to prove that the prince's method is not just simple bribery. The prince is simply taking advantage of the opportunity and making the right choice!"

"Since the prince's choice is correct and my brothers have already made their choice, then why should I hesitate? I am a member of the Zhenbei Army. Naturally, I must stand with my brothers at this critical moment!"

The deputy general spoke in a resounding voice, and at the end, a hint of determination flashed in his pupils.

Hearing this explanation, Song Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It seems that the reason why Zheng He was able to stand on the same side this time was probably because the person in front of him advised him!

This deputy general has such a vision and is indeed a capable person.

"So, when General Zheng He was still struggling, it was you who persuaded him to make the final decision. Am I right in understanding that?"

"Your Highness, that's not entirely accurate. General Zheng and I think alike. Furthermore, the matter of Qin Na and General Wei was something we discussed from the very beginning!"

"We didn't know at first that the lieutenants beside General Wei were actually the prince's men. It was precisely because of this worry, fearing that they would hinder our plan, that we waited for a long time. Only after leaving the city did we finally take action!"

When talking about this matter, the deputy general and Zheng He couldn't help but look at each other, with an expression of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry on their faces.

If they had known that Song Yuan would make such an arrangement, why would they have endured for so long?

I'm afraid they had already come to a head in Tianshan City.

In the end, the people arranged by Song Yuan were afraid of Zheng He's existence, and Zheng He was also afraid of them.

Because of this misunderstanding, the man surnamed Wei was able to get away with it for a long time!

"What's your name?"

"I am Qu Yuan!"

"I'll remember you. From today on, are you willing to stay with me?" Facing the deputy general next to Zheng He, Song Yuan directly extended an olive branch.

As soon as these words came out, Qu Yuan's face suddenly showed some excitement: "If the prince is willing, of course I am willing!"

Seeing that Qu Yuan was appreciated by Song Yuan and had become his personal guard, Zheng He on the side widened his eyes and showed a pleading look on his face.

My Lord, what about me?

You can't forget me, can you?
