Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Zhou Zheng led his troops to leave Hanguan and went on an envoy to the Yuan Dynasty.

The news was like having wings, and madness spread throughout the Yuan Dynasty, Daxia Kingdom, and Dazhou Dynasty.

For a time, countless people were surprised, and there was a different flavor in their eyes.

In the northern land, Zhenbeihou.

"Master Marquis, Daxia's attack is getting more and more fierce now."

"After the battle yesterday, they are clamoring again today!"

A general frowned and said in a deep voice to the Marquis of Zhenbei with his hands raised.

"If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Lord Marquis, you must be careful."

"The spies reported that Daxia has once again sent an additional 100,000 troops to support the battlefield. I'm afraid the situation is not good for us."

Another general also had a solemn look on his face. This time Daxia's attack was unexpected. They not only mobilized an army of 300,000, but also seemed to swallow them up at all costs.

Even at the risk of huge losses, Daxia's soldiers were not afraid of death. This was completely different from the previous situation.

"Everyone, what do you think?"

The Marquis of Zhenbei sat upright, his appearance looking a bit older than a month ago.

In the past month, there have been repeated battles, but the opponent did not show any signs of stopping. Even if Zhenbei Hou had elites in his hands, he felt a little tired at this time.

However, the other party seems to be endless and will not give up until he achieves his goal.

"Master Marquis, the general believes that we can't hold on."

"As the saying goes, it will be exhausted after one big effort. We will take action again after the Great Xia Kingdom's momentum has passed."

General Scarface thought for a while and then spoke first.

"Yes, after two months of attrition, our army has suffered heavy losses, but the imperial court does not have any extra reinforcements."

"If we lose one to one, we can't afford to lose."

Another general looked solemn, and his words made many generals in the assembly hall lower their heads involuntarily.

During this period, the Marquis of Zhenbei had sent urgent requests to the imperial court for support many times.

Unfortunately, the reply I received was that the imperial court was recruiting troops and it would take some time!

Without enough troops, the Marquis of Zhenbei faced Daxia, which was twice as big as him. They couldn't afford to lose!

If the fight continues, Zhenbeihou's old base will be completely exhausted in this battle.

In the eyes of many generals, the imperial court clearly did this on purpose.

Over the years, there have long been rumors that the imperial court wanted to weaken the strength of Zhenbei Hou, but it has never found a suitable opportunity and reason.

The real intention of the imperial court is to use Daxia's invasion to continuously deplete Zhenbei Hou's foundation!

After all, as long as the court is willing, it is not difficult to mobilize 100,000 troops directly from the southwest without conscription.

"Master Marquis, we can take advantage of the city's high walls and deep walls to resist them for ten days and a half. It won't be a problem."

"No need, keep rushing out to kill the enemy."

"Otherwise, if we continue to fight, the foundation we have cultivated with great difficulty will really be lost!"

A skinny general, with a melancholy expression on his face, knelt down directly towards the Marquis of Zhenbei with a deep voice.

"Shou!"

"Shou!"

"Shou!"

The generals knelt down and worshiped. At this time, they had only one idea, and that was to only defend but not attack!

It's not that the warriors in the north are afraid of Great Xia, it's not that their generals are greedy for life and afraid of death, and it's not because they don't want to make progress, but because their soldiers are depleted too quickly!

If we continue fighting like this, we will lose all our capital.

"The court doesn't care about our life or death, but we can't care about ourselves, Lord Marquis!"

Seeing that the Marquis of Zhenbei above did not speak, the general burst into tears.

"Last night, I received a letter from the court."

"Everyone, let's take a look."

How could Xiao Mu not know what the generals were thinking! ?

Finally, he sighed softly, took out an envelope from his arms, and handed it to everyone.

After the generals circulated it, their expressions became even more ugly.

It turned out that the content of the letter was probably that Zhou Zheng had gone to Dayuan as an envoy, and the key to the marriage between the two parties lay in the war situation in the north.

Once the Great Zhou Dynasty makes achievements in the northern land, the marriage will be carried out in the direction of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Otherwise, if the northern territory is defeated or is in a muddy situation, not only may the marriage be defeated, but it may also tilt the Yuan Dynasty towards Daxia.

Therefore, the imperial court asked Zhenbei Hou to kill the enemy at all costs!

"You want us to hold off Daxia or even defeat Daxia in exchange for a smooth marriage with the Yuan Dynasty!?"

"If this is really the case, why doesn't the court support us?"

"Marriage with the Yuan Dynasty!? How is it different from seeking the skin of a tiger?"

The generals were so indignant that they wished they could run to the court and confront the officials loudly.

However, after all the generals had been noisy for a while, they all quieted down. Everyone's eyes fell on Zhenbei Hou. They knew how to deal with him, but in the end it still depended on Zhenbei Hou's wishes.

After all, if you don't respect the imperial court's will, you will most likely be accused of rebellion!

Who dares to commit such a serious crime?

"Everyone, please take a rest first."

"My lord, think about it."

After persuading everyone to retreat, Zhenbei Hou sat on the ground with his eyes slightly closed and his expression extremely ugly.

"Father, I will be away from home, and I will not accept your order."

"Yes, what the court is doing is so disgusting!"

Xiao Mu's two sons, Xiao Hu and Xiao Bao, looked indignant after seeing everyone leave.

The imperial court’s calculations are really loud!

"I think the imperial court just wants to use this to get a clear picture of my Xiao family, or to break both arms of my Xiao family!"

"Father, please put your family first!"

Xiao Bao's eyes narrowed into cracks.

In recent years, the imperial court seems to rely heavily on the Xiao family, but in fact it has placed more and more restrictions on the Xiao family, both overtly and covertly.

The most important reason why the imperial court did not dare to really touch the Xiao family was that the Xiao family had 200,000 elites in their hands.

Once more than half of the troops were lost, the imperial court would no longer have any fear towards the Xiao family.

At that time, the Xiao family could still become one of the five great aristocratic families! ?

No!

Even the Xiao family will be replaced and plummet!

"Father, fight!"

Suddenly, Xiao Guan's abrupt voice came.

war? !

"What do you mean?!"

When they saw it was Xiao Guan, Xiao Bao and Xiao Hu's expressions darkened. At this juncture, the battle was about risking the future of the entire Xiao family.

Besides, they don't have any advantage in the current battle!

In war, you can only lose troops and generals!

"Third brother, just take good care of yourself."

"I don't need you to worry about going into battle to kill the enemy."

Shaking his head, Xiao Hu only thought that Xiao Guan had not been on the battlefield for too long, and thought that he was now the general who bravely championed the three armies, so he said such ignorant words.

Xiao Guan didn't pay attention to what Xiao Bao and Xiao Hu said, but stared at Xiao Mu.

"Father, Zheng'er is almost at Dadu."

"If there is a problem in the northern land at this time, Zheng'er's situation may not be much better."

Xiao Guan bit his red lips tightly, his eyes shining with a little moisture.

No matter what, he didn't want anything to happen to Zhou Zheng.

Xiao Mu closed his eyes and trembled a little, how could he not know the powerful relationship between them.

Xiao Mu knew better, and the court also knew this.

Emperor Tianjing wanted to take advantage of this!

This time, it is a truly difficult choice for the Xiao family!

war!

There is a high possibility that you will pay a heavy price and lose!

When the Xiao family's strength weakens, the court will no longer be afraid, and Zhou Zheng may also be in a dilemma in the Yuan Dynasty.

Shou!

The Great Xia Kingdom is so powerful that the attitude of the Yuan Dynasty may waver, and Zhou Zheng is in danger!

Disrespecting the order is regarded as treason, and the Xiao family will definitely be in trouble in the future.

"Emperor Tianjing, what a trick."
