"Ming'e, I understand, I understand!" The next second, Liao Chongwu pulled her into his arms. He took a few deep breaths and swallowed the humiliation that was about to come out. He kept kissing Zhong Ming'e's long hair and kept saying, "Ming'e, thank you, thank you so much..."
Yes, he had to be so grateful to this lovely girl in his arms. Liao Chongwu was born a military general, so he couldn't speak those gorgeous and beautiful words, so he could only express his gratitude dryly over and over again.
"Liao Chongwu, I thank you too," Zhong Ming'e said softly while leaning in the man's arms, "Thank you for giving me everything I wanted."
…
"Then Ming'e, how should we deal with it next?" After a while, when both of them calmed down, Liao Chongwu was busy asking about the next matter. The man who was listless just now was now very energetic. "Once Prince Rong gets the news that the Jinyiwei was killed, he will definitely be furious. By then, I'm afraid Yongzhou will never have peace again. Maybe Prince Rong will order the Southern Xinjiang army to raid our Huguang army!"
"So we have to be prepared," Zhong Minge said in a deep voice. He walked to the geomancy map and measured the distance between the Southern Xinjiang camp and Yongzhou with his fingers. Then he said in a deep voice, "If the Southern Xinjiang army marches towards us, it will arrive in half a month at most."
"Yes, but it's only half a month's journey," Liao Chongwu couldn't help but frowned, "I heard that the newly appointed Zhennan General Chi Chongyuan is a famous general. He used to serve under Xu Chengjin and was Xu Chengjin's most trusted general. Now that he is a new official, he is naturally thinking about establishing his prestige and fame. If he gets the fame and fortune of the court, Chi Chongyuan will definitely lead the army himself. If that happens, we will really suffer."
"Chi Chongyuan is indeed a powerful man, but are we made of clay?" Zhong Minge snorted coldly, "Even if the Southern Xinjiang army is elite, they must be extremely exhausted after half a month of trekking through mountains and rivers when they arrived in Yongzhou. We may have a chance to launch a surprise attack."
"That's true," Liao Chongwu nodded. "Starting tomorrow, Xiao Gao and I will go to the camp to train the troops and formulate tactics, and strive to make sure that the Southern Xinjiang army will not return!"
"Leave the training to Xiao Gao and the others. You still have other tasks to do," said Zhong Ming'e.
"What's the matter?" Liao Chongwu asked quickly.
"Take your people to check the whereabouts of Prince An," Zhong Minge said in a deep voice, "According to the Jinyiwei, Prince An has escaped from the capital, but we don't know his current whereabouts. We have to find Prince An as soon as possible."
Liao Chongwu was startled for a moment, then he understood: "Ming'e, are you planning to help Prince An ascend to the throne?"
In fact, just now, when Zhong Minge flatly refused to make a comeback, Liao Chongwu guessed what Zhong Minge was thinking. However, this matter was too big, so he had to ask in person to feel at ease.
"Yes, for now, we can only help Prince An to take the throne," Zhong Minge nodded, "regardless of whether I hand over the military token or not, Prince Rong will not tolerate me. If we want to survive, we can only help Prince An to take the throne. Moreover, it is obvious that Prince Pingxi is Prince An's backer. With Prince Pingxi backing Prince An, Prince An's chances of winning are also great. What's more, didn't we surrender to Prince An early on?"
Liao Chongwu also nodded.
Yes, ever since they left Beijing and the handwritten secret letter from Zhong Minge was delivered to Zhong Mingwei, they have placed their bets on Zhong Mingwei. And now, only if Zhong Mingwei ascends the throne can they have a safe place to live in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so they have no choice but to support Zhong Mingwei to the throne.
