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

These two thousand horses are indeed good horses.

With them, the marching speed of Zhou Zheng and others has been greatly improved!

"Remember, we must let everyone in the northern land know that reinforcements are coming!"

This is the only task Zhou Zheng entrusted to Lan Yu!

Later, Lan Yu selected five hundred elite soldiers and rode towards the northern border!

"Boss!"

"In this case, is it really okay?"

Looking at Lan Yu and others who were gradually disappearing, Zhou Ping's expression became serious, and the worry in his eyes was visible to the naked eye.

He was not afraid of death. To be precise, none of the thousands of elites heading north this time were afraid of death.

But Zhou Ping knew better that the enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered. If we really wanted to attack head-on, even if the eight thousand elites were blessed with magical weapons, they would still be defeated.

In the eyes of Zhou Ping and even everyone else, the best way is guerrilla warfare.

Constantly harassing Daxia's soldiers and generals, making them exhausted, small-scale sneak attacks blocked their rhythm, waiting for the court's reinforcements!

But now they are making a big fanfare to tell the world that reinforcements have arrived!

What awaits them! ?

Daxia may temporarily stop its attack on the northern border, but it will also send elite soldiers and generals to surround Zhou Zheng!

By then, there won’t be enough of them to watch!

"Morale!"

"Only in this way can the morale of the northern land be improved."

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng looked equally heavy.

The Northern Territory held on for several months, and no one knew how many soldiers were killed or injured.

If Zhenbeihou hadn't been in charge, I'm afraid it would have been breached long ago.

If Zhou Zheng had predicted correctly, everyone in the northern land would be at the end of their tether.

According to the current situation, if Daxia Kingdom attacks at all costs, it may be able to forcefully tear a hole from the northern border.

Without the obstruction of the high walls of the city in the northern land, there was really no chance to face the cavalry of Great Xia at that time.

"At our current pace, it will take at least three more days!"

"So, the northern land must hold on for three days!"

Clenching his fists, Zhou Zheng naturally knew the possible consequences of making such a big deal, but now, Zhou Zheng had no choice.

"Tell me guys, hang on!"

With a low shout, Zhou Zheng held the horse's belly between his legs and increased his speed a little more.

......

Deep inside the palace!

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to arrive in the north tomorrow."

Gu Qianfan knelt in front of Emperor Tianjing and reported Zhou Zheng's whereabouts.

Upon hearing this speed, Emperor Tianjing's expression also fluctuated in a rare way.

From Xiangjun to the Northern Territory, the time was actually shortened by half!

How terrifying is this? !

"Everyone in the northern border united as one, and the military morale was high, and they blocked Daxia's attack."

"Enough to last until His Highness the Crown Prince's reinforcements!"

When Gu Jiangfan said this, his admiration for Zhou Zheng became even stronger.

The land in the north has long been in danger, and even the Marquis of Zhenbei is unable to save it.

Everyone was preparing to break through the city and retreat, but Zhou Zheng happened to pass on the news of the arrival of reinforcements at this moment!

Regardless of the solution, this method alone is admirable!

After all, the northern land has been isolated for more than a day or two.

Once the morale of the soldiers disappears, the battle will only be a disastrous defeat.

Zhou Zheng's appearance undoubtedly gave everyone hope.

"Everyone knows that Zhou Zheng is training troops in Xiang County in order to help the northern border."

"So, they see hope."

"But what will happen if they know that Zhou Zheng only has more than 8,000 elite soldiers?"

Emperor Tianjing put down the pen and ink in his hand, stood up, and walked slowly.

His voice was calm, but Gu Qianfan's heart sank, and then he smiled bitterly.

"The eldest prince asked for a fight, but I refused. Are you also surprised?"

Emperor Tianjing suddenly stopped, looked at Gu Qianfan who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a deep voice.

Everyone knows the importance of the northern land! ?

Once the northern territory is lost, the Great Xia Kingdom may march straight in, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is the real danger.

But Emperor Tianjing not only failed to mobilize elite troops to support the northern territory, but even this time the eldest prince took the initiative to request a war, but was rejected.

Many people can't figure it out.

Even Gu Qianfan, who had followed Emperor Tianjing for more than twenty years, couldn't figure it out.

Emperor Tianjing was a sage king of a generation, and was also known as the Shiquan Old Man.

During the twenty years of his rule, the Zhou Dynasty flourished and showed signs of its coming prosperous age.

How could he not know what was at stake, and how he could not know what to do! ?

"Your Majesty has his own holy judgment, and I don't dare to speculate."

Gu Qianfan knelt on the ground, not daring to express his anger.

He knew very well that even if Emperor Tianjing gave up anything, he would never give up the throne.

"Holy Judgment!?"

"You, over the years, have become more and more careful in front of me."

Shaking his head, Emperor Tianjing seemed to have something to say.

These words shocked Gu Qianfan's heart slightly, and he buried his head deeply on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"Go back."

After a long time, Emperor Tianjing waved his hand.

Gu Qianfan quickly stepped back as if relieved.

Now, following Emperor Tianjing, he became even more frightened.

......

"Your Majesty, do you really want to take this gamble?"

Gu Qianfan retreated, a black shadow flashed, and an old voice came slowly.

"We've been waiting for twenty years, why not take a gamble?"

Emperor Tianjing's voice was a little hoarse, but extremely determined.

"But what if the northern land is defeated in the end?"

The black shadow frowned slightly, but still sighed and asked in a deep voice.

This question made Emperor Tianjing's face instantly darken, and even the temperature in the air dropped a lot.

"Except for you, no one in this world dares to talk to me like this."

But soon, the gloom on Emperor Tianjing's face dissipated.

Instead, there was a hint of softness.

"I will not lose."

"Never lose!"

Emperor Tianjing’s voice is confident!

......

The land of the north!

"The reinforcements are here!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally leads the reinforcements and they will arrive in the north soon!"

"Great, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, we will still have a chance!"

A glimmer of hope finally appeared on the despairing faces of countless soldiers.

They have been waiting eagerly since they got the news.

Some people didn't believe it, but they finally believed it until they saw Lan Yu leading hundreds of iron elites to arrive in advance.

For a time, morale was high on the city wall1

"I just said, the court will not give up on us!"

"I told you, the prince will definitely come!"

Everyone was talking a lot. They looked at the actual soldiers and generals of Daxia in the distance outside the city, their eyes filled with fighting spirit again!

But the mood of these soldiers was completely opposite to that of the General's Mansion at this time!

Zhenbei Hou Xiao Mu and a group of generals looked at Lan Yu with disbelief on their faces.

"Eight thousand?"

"Is it really only eight thousand?"
