"Father, Zhou Zheng has led his army to leave Dadu."

Deep in the palace, Yunding stood below and reported in a deep voice.

"A few words can calm these 10,000 arrogant cavalry. It seems that I still underestimated him."

Emperor Wan Qing above was thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, without logistical supplies, even if the Cang Yan Iron Cavalry is powerful, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive for three days."

However, Yeluqi looked worried.

Ten thousand elites, not to mention other things, the food they eat is an astronomical figure.

Traveling lightly and abandoning baggage and supplies can indeed greatly improve the mobility of Cang Yan's elite, and there is even a high possibility of avoiding the prying eyes of the eight princes, but most of them are thousands of miles away from the North Sea!

In Yeluqi's view, without supplies, let alone a battle with the Daxia army in Beihai, even a smooth arrival would be almost impossible.

"Let us wait and see how capable Zhou Zheng is."

Emperor Wan Qing closed his eyes slightly, no one knew what he was thinking.

But since even the emperor had spoken, Yeluqi and other ministers naturally did not dare to say too much.

At the same time, the princess's mansion.

"If you want my man, you need some means and ability."

Yun Yun raised her head and looked at the gradually dissipating clouds in the sky. A person said thoughtfully in a deep voice.

"However, if you die on the road, I will ask you to pay back this debt in your next life."

Biting her red lips, Yun Yun felt quite complicated at this moment.

There was no so-called relationship between her and Zhou Zheng, but for some reason, Zhou Zheng's face always appeared in Yun Yun's mind today, as well as the two of them in bed.

The slender hands were gently clasped, and a hint of worry appeared in the depths of Yun Yun's eyes.

"Your Highness, the Cang Yan Iron Cavalry can no longer be traced."

Just when Yun Yun's thoughts were confused, Birds and Birds quietly appeared behind her.

"understood."

He waved his hands, looking a little sad.

Without the burden of baggage and logistics, she knew very well that the Cang Yan Iron Cavalry could disappear on the vast grassland.

"If you take my body, your life will not be decided by you!"

"You better survive."

"Otherwise, even if you dig up your bones, I will whip your corpse!"

Niaoniao was also a little surprised at this time. It was the first time in so many years that she saw Yun Yun's emotional changes.

......

Great Zhou Dynasty.

The imperial capital, deep inside the palace.

Emperor Tianjing sat upright with his brows furrowed.

Under the oppressive atmosphere, Liu Fu and others did not dare to take a breath.

"There is no news about the marriage between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Yuan Dynasty!?"

"You don't even know the prince's movements in the Yuan Dynasty?"

After a long time, Emperor Tianjing finally spoke.

It has been some time since Zhou Zheng arrived in the Yuan Dynasty, but Zhou Zheng's whereabouts and movements are simply a mystery to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In the past, when Gong Tan followed Zhou Zheng, the court had to be aware of Zhou Zheng's movements at all times.

But now, there is no news.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have sent envoys to the Yuan Dynasty to assist His Royal Highness in discussing the marriage."

Liu Fu wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded cautiously.

At this time, Liu Fu was also very angry. He had clearly planted hidden stakes in Dadu, but at this time all the hidden stakes were dispatched, and the news brought back had almost no clues.

The Yuan Dynasty seemed to have an unclear attitude towards marriage.

This made the situation in the Zhou Dynasty become delicate again.

"The Marquis of Zhenbei is urging reinforcements and military pay again."

"If the Yuan Dynasty still cannot express its position on the marriage, the court will not be able to hold on."

Emperor Tianjing read through the urgent reports from the northern land, the gloomy look on his face undisguised.

There is already a thick stack of urgent documents on the slips.

They were all about the war in the north, and the most important thing was urging the court to support reinforcements and military pay.

Now the Great Xia Kingdom has sent 100,000 more troops to the northern border, and Zhenbei Hou is struggling to support them.

But the decline has begun to become apparent, and Emperor Tianjing can no longer sit still.

Once the northern territory is lost, the entire Daxia Kingdom will face the embarrassing situation of having no protection in the northern territory.

At that time, the Great Xia Kingdom will definitely come out in full force, mobilize the whole country, and continue to invade southward.

It is not impossible for a three-hundred-year-old foundation to be destroyed in one fell swoop!

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenbei is just exaggerating the facts."

"It's nothing more than wanting to increase the chips in hand!"

"Once we increase the number of troops and increase military pay, the Marquis of Zhenbei will be truly confident when facing the court!"

As the prime minister of the current dynasty, Liu Fu knew the art of checks and balances very well.

The Marquis of Zhenbei holds an army of 200,000, which is enough to make the imperial court feel threatened. If reinforcements are continuously sent in under such circumstances, the imperial court will suffer in the end.

"I support you ministers to share the worries of the country, not to cause trouble for me!"

"Are you blind, can't you see that these memorials contain urgings from local officials and the vassal king!?"

Emperor Tianjing threw the memorial in his hand directly into the faces of Liu Fu and other ministers, and scolded them.

"Father, I would like to lead 30,000 troops to the northern border to help Zhenbeihou."

Everyone was silent, but the second prince Zhou Ting stepped forward and volunteered.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness is well versed in military literature, has been on the battlefield all year round, and has a high prestige in the army."

"If you lead troops to the northern border at this time, on the one hand, it can alleviate the crisis in the northern border. On the other hand, it can also boost the morale of the army through convenience, demonstrating the importance of the imperial court and the determination of the Holy Emperor."

"I hope His Majesty will grant you!"

Yu Xing quickly stepped out of the queue and knelt down towards Emperor Tianjing.

"allow!"

"I am waiting for your triumphant return."

Seeing Zhou Ting take the initiative to share his worries, the gloom on Emperor Tianjing's face dissipated a little.

The eldest prince Zhou Fan, Liu Fu and others on the side felt their hearts sinking slightly. After looking at each other, they had no other choice.

After all, Liu Fu and others are naturally not afraid of the methods used by the imperial court.

But when it comes to marching and fighting, Liu Fu can't do it, and neither can the eldest prince Zhou Fan.

As for the third prince Zhou Qiao, his face was cold at this time, but he did not dare to say a word.

When he was escorted by the leading army to the north, Zhou Zheng was intercepted by Ren, which delayed his journey.

Not only did he fail to follow Zhou Zheng, but he also lost troops and generals and was scolded by Emperor Tianjing.

Zhou Qiao, who lost Concubine Shu, no longer enjoyed the favor he once had in front of Emperor Tianjing.

He knew that he was basically out of luck in the fight for the right to inherit the throne.

The only chance is to wait!

Wait for the opportunity!

......

Land of the North.

Marquis Mansion.

"Father, if there is no more movement from the court, we really can't hold on any longer!"

Xiao Bao knelt in front of Xiao Mu with an urgent look on his face.

Tens of thousands of the 200,000 northern princes have been killed in battle, and countless others have been injured.

But the reinforcements from Daxia Kingdom continued to flow.

In such a situation, even if the northern soldiers fought bravely and fearlessly against the enemy, they would still be unable to withstand the opponent's fierce offensive!

"I think it was the imperial court's intention!"

"With the help of Daxia, we will consume our strength!"

"So despicable!"

Xiao Hu clenched his fists and gritted his back molars with an angry look on his face!

It’s not that the imperial court has no troops to lose, but it’s this way on purpose!

With a shortage of soldiers and food, even if Zhenbeihou was a god of war, he would still be unable to control the situation.

"Hold on a little longer."

"As long as I have a single soldier in the northern border, I will never let Daxia cross the northern border!"

After a long time, Zhenbei Hou's somewhat old face coughed, and then he slowly spoke.

How could he not understand the imperial court’s intentions!

But what can he do! ?

There is no king's soil under the whole world, and there is no king's ministers on the coast of leading the soil.
