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

Reinforcements are arriving!

Zhou Zheng led eight thousand elites and arrived as promised!

On the city wall, almost everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Zheng.

The eyes showed excitement, excitement and hope at first!

But when it was confirmed that Zhou Zheng had arrived with all the reinforcements, the expressions in their eyes became complicated.

Disappointment, regret, even sadness.

There are only 8,000 elite soldiers, plus the 5,000 people Xiao Guan hid in the dark in advance, the total is 13,000!

Such a quantity was something they never expected.

Everyone believed that Zhou Zheng was the crown prince and would bring troops to help, at least one hundred thousand or more!

Because, in the current northern land, only this number of soldiers can have a certain chance of turning the situation around.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zheng only brought over 10,000 people.

Even though there are more than 10,000 people, they are full of fighting spirit, fully armed, and exuding a sense of elite power.

But so what?

Almost everyone knew that this must be an elite, even one against ten elites.

However, on the battlefield, the number of more than 10,000 is just a drop in the bucket.

Once thrown into the battlefield, there is no doubt that it is nothing more than a mantis trying to act like a chariot!

Perhaps, it can delay the opponent's offensive, but it cannot stop the opponent's attack and change the final outcome.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes dimmed.

Their initial cheers for Zhou Zheng turned into thin voices.

After all, the psychological gap is too big.

Not only the soldiers on the city wall, but also the soldiers in the northern border.

"Prince, it's not the soldiers' fault."

"They've been holding out in the North for months."

There were elite Zhenbei Army soldiers nearby who quickly explained to Zhou Zheng.

In response, Zhou Zheng looked around at everyone, and then sighed softly.

He could see that the soldiers on the city wall looked gray and tired. Even the armors on many soldiers had been broken, and the wounds on their bodies had not healed, and there was still a little blood seeping out.

Zhou Zheng knew very well that these soldiers and generals had almost reached their limit.

It is really unrealistic for them to pretend to be welcoming now.

"Your Highness, the Marquis has been waiting for a long time."

At this moment, a general came up on horseback and raised his hands and fists towards Zhou Zheng on horseback.

"Let's go."

Nodding, Zhou Zheng did not hesitate.

Now let Lan Yu and others lead the crowd to stay in place for repairs.

He only took Zhou Ping, Xiao Guan and Gan Mo with him and walked towards the general's mansion.

......

Inside the general's mansion.

Everyone lined the streets to welcome him.

Those who can appear here are almost all generals who have the right to speak in the northern land. Of course, they are also almost all the core and die-hard loyalists of Zhenbei Hou.

At such a critical moment, Zhou Zheng was able to lead the crowd regardless of danger. This alone was enough to make everyone admire him.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Zheng appeared, he was warmly welcomed by the generals.

This kind of welcome was different from the previous second prince.

After all, what the second prince did in the northern land can be said to be outrageous and reviled by many people.

Zhou Ting made the northern border a state of chaos, and even continued to lose battles, directly turning this place into a dangerous place.

But at this critical moment, Zhou Ting left behind 100,000 soldiers in the northern territory and insisted on withdrawing from the northern territory despite the dissuasion of the generals.

He left the huge mess to Zhenbei Hou.

And the imperial court had no reinforcements.

Zhou Zheng's appearance at this time is enough to gain everyone's respect.

Whether Zhou Zheng is here because of his relationship with Zhenbei Hou, or Zhou Zheng appears here as the prince.

In short, if you are willing to risk yourself at such a critical moment, you are already daring to take the lead.

"The imperial court is so ashamed of you!"

Feeling the gazes in everyone's eyes, Zhou Zheng was filled with emotion.

Standing there, he clasped his fists towards the soldiers, bowed deeply, and spoke in a deep voice.

He knew that the crisis in the northern land this time was not due to the soldiers not working hard to kill the enemy or not fighting the enemy bravely, but because of the court's failure, the prince's incompetence, and the inaction of the Holy One.

Leave the entire northern land isolated and helpless!

This group of soldiers who devoted themselves to the imperial court was heartbroken.

Zhou Zheng's sincere words and the way he completely let down his posture were something the soldiers had never expected.

They had long heard about Zhou Zheng's iron-blooded methods in Xiangjun.

I have also heard that Zhou Zheng was not afraid of the officials in the court.

I understand Zhou Zheng’s tough work style even more!

but!

When they actually met Zhou Zheng, not only did they not feel any arrogance or arrogance in Zhou Zheng, but he was a polite corporal and extremely humble.

Compared with the previous second prince Zhou Ting, this is a judgment call!

"Your Majesty, you are serious!"

"We will definitely protect the country of Great Zhou!"

All the soldiers felt their hearts heat up and quickly knelt down to Zhou Zheng.

Just because of Zhou Zheng's words and deeds just now, these unruly soldiers have been conquered.

Xiao Guan on the side felt slightly moved when he saw this scene, and his eyes looking at Zhou Zheng became a little softer.

He knew Zhou Zheng's temperament.

He also knew that Zhou Zheng's actions just now were definitely not pretentious, let alone pretentious to fool these generals.

But from the bottom of my heart, I feel guilty for these generals!

As a prince, he can say such words and bow deeply to express his apology!

What seemed like a simple action was actually a huge shock to these generals in the northern land!

Since ancient times, imperial power has been above all else!

Even if the second prince Zhou Ting revealed such a big mistake, he was still arrogant and never uttered a single word of indebtedness.

It is simply impossible for the imperial power to bow its head and for the royal family to bow its head!

But, Zhou Zheng did this!

"This time, I am here for one thing only!"

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and looked at the soldiers with twinkling eyes.

"Fight bloody with you all!"

A loud voice without any hesitation!

And these words shocked the hearts of many soldiers present!

Some people even froze on the spot, their pupils widened, and their eyes were full of disbelief!

Prince, do you want to go to the battlefield in person? !

Prince, I want to advance and retreat with them and live and die together! ?

How can this be? !

Everyone knows that a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall.

What's more, he is a noble prince!

Three hundred years after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, there were kings who led millions of troops in battle, princes who fought bravely to kill the enemy, and princes and generals who came to the battlefield to command!

But everyone knows that these are all prerequisites.

That is, you can ensure your own safety!

You can even win!

Because whether they are kings, princes, princes or generals, they have only one purpose, and that is to gain military exploits and make their names famous!

However, no one ever puts themselves in danger!

No one even knows that this is a road of narrow escape, but they still have no hesitation!

But, Zhou Zheng just did this!

He did the opposite!

Who could have imagined this wave of operations!

I thought that Zhou Zheng would come here just to cheer up the soldiers, but that didn't seem to be the case for him!

"The land of the north is here, and I am here!"

"The land in the north is destroyed, and this palace is destroyed!"

"This palace will coexist and die with the land in the north!"

Live or die together!

Three words, like a shocking sound, hovering over the general's mansion!

This image of Zhou Zheng has become completely sacred in the hearts of everyone!
