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

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

The weapons built by Meng Sheng were also delivered as promised.

Thousands of elites gathered together, and under the leadership of Zhou Zheng, they marched towards the northern border.

Outside Yancheng.

There were many people watching, including officials such as Gu Jiang, as well as representatives of various families such as Jiang Zheng, Meng Sheng, and Liu Fei. Of course, Su Xun'er, Mu Qingwan, Yun Yun and others were indispensable, and there were also many common people to see him off!

Everyone knows that this time traveling north, life or death is uncertain!

But no one dissuaded Zhou Zheng, because everyone knew that Zhou Zheng was doing a great thing, doing a major thing to save the future of the entire Zhou Dynasty.

They only hope that Zhou Zheng can make a triumphant return!

......

"Boss, the only thing I regret is that I was too honest after following you."

"It seems like I haven't touched a woman much."

"If I had known earlier, it would have been better to sleep more and leave two sons behind."

On horseback, Zhou Ping looked at Zhou Zheng with a smile and joked.

His words made Lan Yu and others relax a little from their tense expressions.

After all, the eight thousand elites are certainly blessed with magical weapons, but what they are about to face are the two hundred thousand elites of Great Xia!

Everyone was prepared to die.

Therefore, the atmosphere naturally solidified a little.

"A woman will only affect your killing speed."

Zhou Zheng pursed his lips, but when he looked at Zhou Ping, there was a hint of regret in his eyes.

Zhou Ping is a dignified prince. As long as he is willing, he will be rich and powerful and have countless women in his life.

But after following Zhou Zheng, Zhou Ping's life underwent earth-shaking changes.

The only woman who moved Zhou Ping's heart finally fell into Zhou Zheng's arms.

However, the relationship between the two has long been a life-long friendship, so Zhou Ping naturally doesn't care about this kind of thing.

Of course, he also knows that feelings are not sweet if they are forced.

"Waiting for this triumphant victory, boss, I want to find a woman."

"Otherwise, I won't be able to communicate with my father."

Shrugging, Zhou Ping's eyes were a little red.

"rest assured!"

"Tell me who you like, and I will be your matchmaker."

Patting Zhou Ping's shoulder with his palm, Zhou Zheng promised firmly.

"Brothers, I will definitely bring you back alive!"

"Marry a wife and have a son!"

Turning his head, Zhou Zheng shouted loudly at the more than 8,000 elite soldiers.

These words instantly ignited the originally gloomy atmosphere, and everyone's eyes flashed with excitement.

......

"Prince, right ahead is Shangtu Village!"

These eight thousand people are all elites. Although they are fully armed, their physical fitness is not comparable to others.

After three consecutive days of rapid march, they crossed Xiang County and entered the territory of Gui County.

The scouts from the front came to report, and Zhou Zheng just asked the army to stop.

When they heard about going to Tu Village, the soldiers behind Zhou Zheng seemed to have forgotten their physical fatigue and looked excited.

Everyone knows that the reason why they chose to take this path is to get to Tu Village!

"Send the order!"

"Yes!"

"All the soldiers have surrounded the entire Shangtu Village and are resting on the spot! No one is allowed to leave without my order!"

"Yes!"

Afterwards, Zhou Zheng took Gan Mo, Lan Yu and Zhou Ping and galloped towards Shangtu Village!

......

Kyoto, the Imperial Palace!

"Your Majesty, in the northern territory, the Marquis of Zhenbei sent ten letters for help in one day. They can't hold on any longer."

Gu Qianfan knelt in front of Emperor Tianjing and presented Eight Hundred Miles' urgent letter for help to Emperor Tianjing.

The situation in the northern land was worse than the imperial court imagined.

Daxia is no longer willing to waste any more time. With an army of 200,000, attacking day and night, it is bound to break through the northern border.

Emperor Tianjing's face was trembling a little at this time.

He naturally understands the importance of the northern land.

Once he misses, all that will be left to Daxia is a vast plain!

"Father, I have established a stronghold and cleared the country. Even if the Great Xia Kingdom breaks through the northern border, it will never invade my Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Zhou Ting knelt in front of Emperor Tianjing and made a solemn promise.

The people within a hundred miles of the northern border have already retreated. So what if Daxia Kingdom crosses the northern border? !

It would take several days for an army of 200,000 to cover a hundred miles.

When the time comes, Zhou Ting will once again lead his elite troops and deliver a surprise blow, which is enough to defeat the enemy.

However, no one present echoed this statement.

Even the veterans in the Second Prince's camp lowered their heads.

Because this will undoubtedly require the sacrifice of tens of thousands of soldiers in the northern land, and even the loss of countless lands!

This is already a huge shame for the Zhou Dynasty!

Everyone is understanding. Zhou Ting's war with the Great Xia Kingdom in the Northern Territory has destroyed the prestige he finally accumulated in the army.

At this time, for Zhou Ting, there was only one possibility to save the situation.

That would mean sacrificing the northern territory, and even hope for the entire Xiao family!

Because, only in this way, the world will not think that Zhou Ting is worthy of his name, and Zhou Ting can find a reason for himself.

Can!

This kind of method for self-interest, regardless of the interests of the family and the country, is really shameful!

"Humph!"

Emperor Tianjing frowned and snorted coldly, an invisible feeling of oppression enveloped everyone.

Zhou Ting also reacted at this time, gritting his teeth and not daring to speak.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the Marquis of Zhenbei withdraw?"

Liu Fu spoke at this time.

And his words made the atmosphere at the scene fall into a strange scene. Many people secretly raised their heads to see Emperor Tianjing's reaction.

Because this is what everyone wants.

It is also what they think is the best choice.

There is no chance of winning if we stick to the northern border.

It is better to retain part of the strength in order to attack later.

Of course, the most important thing is that with tens of thousands of soldiers in the north, they can also defend the imperial court.

"All my dear friends, do you think so?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Emperor Tianjing glanced around at the kneeling people.

He didn't speak, but there was already a hint of disappointment deep in his eyes.

After more than ten years of prosperity, these pillars of the imperial court have long lost their original enterprising spirit of conquering the country.

"Father!"

"I think it's inappropriate!"

At this moment, the eldest prince Zhou Fan, who had been silent until now, stood up.

He raised his head and raised his chest, his voice rolling.

"I, Da Zhou, absolutely cannot retreat! Let alone at this time!"

"Once the northern territory is lost, the Great Zhou Dynasty will no longer have natural dangers. The so-called strong walls and clearing the wilderness are just a temporary solution, not long-term!"

"I learned that my fourth brother is leading elite troops to support the northern border."

"My imperial court should spare no effort!"

"As long as we defend the northern border, we can drag Daxia to death even if we drag it!"

Zhou Fan was righteous and spoke loudly.

"My son, I am willing to lead tens of thousands of troops to help the northern border!"

When he heard these words, Zhou Ting raised his head suddenly, and a cold light surged.

Is this Zhou Fan's real purpose? !
