In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

The return to the city took place three days later. During these three days, Mo Nan acted swiftly, sending people to take over all matters in the north, giving no one a chance to resist.

During the period when Mo Nan sent people to take over the relevant affairs, Lu Zheng stayed by his side the whole time. It was because of what he saw and heard in the past few days that he realized how correct his decision was.

Lu Zheng's confidants, who had always been by his side, were naturally aware of the situation and couldn't help but admire their pragmatism when no one was around.

"Master, it's fortunate that we decisively surrendered to them, otherwise we would definitely be among those people today," Lu Zheng's confidant couldn't help but sigh.

Hearing this, Lu Zheng nodded in agreement and said, "They do have the strength. Even if I went against my conscience, I couldn't say that the North would ultimately win."

"Leaving aside the soldiers' abilities, just look at their food reserves. The rumors are indeed true; these days, everyone under my command has been eating until they are about 70-80% full," Lu Zheng's confidant said in a low voice.

Lu Zheng had a premonition when he saw truckloads of grain being delivered to the camp, so after hearing his confidant's words, he became even more determined in his initial decision and even more convinced that his actions were correct.

"Pass the word down, instruct your subordinates to be as friendly as possible, lend a helping hand if needed, and be polite to people," Lu Zheng instructed his trusted aide.

Upon hearing this, the confidant immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master, all of our men are behaving themselves and won't cause any trouble."

……

With Lu Zheng's help, the process of receiving soldiers at the garrison was simpler than before, and Mo Nan completed the mission relatively easily.

Mo Nan and Zhao Zexuan both recognized the importance of being pragmatic, so when Mo Nan returned to the city with his men, Zhao Zexuan specially led his generals and soldiers to greet him at the city gate.

"General, I have fulfilled my mission. The operation went smoothly." Mo Nan reported, bowing.

Zhao Zexuan was always aware of the progress of the takeover of the northern army, and he said happily, "This is a great achievement. When we return to Lingcheng, we will definitely reward him handsomely."

Hearing this, Mo Nan was overjoyed and immediately responded loudly to express his gratitude.

Lu Zheng deserves much credit for the smooth progress of this operation. Of course, Mo Nan had no intention of taking credit for it. As soon as he received the reward, he pulled the man out of the team.

"General, General Lu Zheng deserves much credit for the success of this operation," Mo Nan introduced.

Upon hearing Mo Nan's introduction, Lu Zheng quickly bowed and said, "Your subordinate Lu Zheng is grateful for the General's kindness."

The moment Mo Nan and his group returned to the city, Zhao Zexuan noticed Lu Zheng's presence. Upon hearing his introduction, he smiled and said, "General Lu Zheng made an invaluable contribution to this operation, which is a blessing for the people. I thank you on their behalf."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng quickly denied it, saying, "I don't deserve it. It's what I should do. Fortunately, the operation went smoothly."

Lu Zheng had initially worried that Zhao Zexuan might mind since they had once belonged to the Northern camp, but now it seemed that there was no such thing as a barrier between them; they were as close as could be.

Regardless, Lu Zheng was indeed much more at ease because of Zhao Zexuan's attitude, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed considerably.

Zhao Zexuan noticed the change in Lu Zheng's expression, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he changed the subject and asked, "What is the situation in the North now? How are the people living?"
