The scene was lively, and everyone was happy about it, reflecting on the hardships they had overcome along the way.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the generals came to their senses and asked, "The North has surrendered, so what about the generals? Are they on their way back?"

Hearing this, Su Li told them to continue reading, as the letter contained instructions.

Su Li's words served as a reminder to the generals. Without hesitation, they took the letter and examined it carefully. After a while, they frowned and said, "The army has gone north. Didn't we hear there was just an earthquake there? Could it be dangerous?"

Once one person raises this question, many more will echo it, all expressing their concern.

Su Li was unaware of the situation in the north, but she believed that Zhao Zexuan was not a reckless person. Since they had made such a decision, there must be some reason behind it.

Seeing the worried looks on the generals' faces, Su Li said, "The problem in the north will have to be solved sooner or later. It's good to go now to avoid any unforeseen complications."

Hearing this, the generals nodded in agreement, and also recalled another rumor.

After hesitating for a long time, a general finally spoke up: "Madam, it is said that there is a severe food shortage in the north."

Upon hearing this, Su Li immediately understood the meaning and looked up at the generals whose faces were full of worry, saying, "I have also considered this point. Just as everyone is worried, the most urgent task now is to produce and plant more grain."

"We originally planned to build more grain bases, but the war between the North and the South caused some delays. Now that we don't have that worry, we can speed things up."

The generals agreed, nodding hurriedly and saying, "Yes, yes, please let us know if you need any help, madam."

Upon hearing the generals' words, Su Li nodded without hesitation and said, "Indeed, there is something I need your help with. Please help supervise the construction!"

The generals: "Good!"

……

News from Lingcheng did not reach Zhao Zexuan and his group for the time being, as the team had already arrived at their base camp in the north.

Looking at the devastated houses and the starving and freezing people before them, Zhao Zexuan and his group frowned and asked, "Didn't you take any rescue measures after the earthquake?"

This question was naturally directed at Lu Zheng and the others, and of course, Lu Zheng and his group understood.

Lu Zheng felt somewhat embarrassed by Zhao Zexuan's question, but he still forced himself to say, "The earthquake affected a very large area and was extremely destructive. At the time, the generals all thought that rather than staying here, they might as well go out and try their luck."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zexuan and his group immediately understood the implication. Mo Nan went even further, saying, "You plan to relocate the entire city after your victory, so you don't intend to clean up the mess here?"

That's the principle, Lu Zheng nodded reluctantly.

Such a plan leaves one speechless. Of course, now is not the time to dwell on that. The most urgent task now is to deal with the current mess.

Looking at the filth all over the ground and the corpses scattered everywhere, Zhao Zexuan frowned deeply and ordered his men, "Bury and bury the corpses on the spot, otherwise they will easily cause an epidemic if left for too long."

"First, gather the living people together and see whether they plan to build houses on the original homestead or find another place."

“Good!” Mo Nan and the other generals nodded.

“Lu Zheng, you know the situation in the north best. You should go with us. If there’s anything that needs special attention, just let us know and help us settle the people down as soon as possible,” Zhao Zexuan said.

Lu Zheng: "Yes, I understand!"
