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

The battle is over!

Daxia was defeated, with tens of thousands of casualties and retreats for hundreds of miles, and even the city of Yangning was lost!

For a time, the news spread to every corner of the world as if it had wings.

Everyone was shocked by the news!

Many people even thought the news was false at first.

After all, the war in the north, whether it was the Great Xia Kingdom, the Great Yuan Dynasty or the Great Zhou Dynasty, almost all focused their attention there.

No one would believe that the Great Xia Congress in the North would lose, let alone lose at such a tragic price!

Even the Zhou Dynasty itself has given up on the northern border. You can imagine the attitude of others.

But as more and more news came in, they went from disbelief at the beginning to shock to finally belief.

So everyone is sure that Zhou Zheng will win a great victory in the northern land!

For a time, the panic in the Zhou Dynasty turned into a roar of gongs and drums and the sound of firecrackers.

After all, once the northern border is broken, countless people in the entire Zhou Dynasty will face great danger.

At the Great Zhou Dynasty!

"A great victory in the Northern Territory, what do you think should happen next?!"

Emperor Tianjing sat upright and glanced at the courtiers below.

Different from the excitement of the people, the atmosphere in the court was extremely depressed.

A big victory is what they all hope to see, but no one hopes that this big victory is because of Zhou Zheng.

The second prince was defeated in the northern border and lost his troops and generals. It can be said that he lost all his military reputation for ten years.

The eldest prince also went to the northern border, but he saw that the soldiers of Daxia were brave and did not even have the courage to go out of the city to fight.

However, Zhou Zheng went to the northern land and only brought ten thousand people with him to achieve such an absolute victory. This made the eldest prince and the second prince feel extremely embarrassed.

Not only the eldest prince, the second prince, but also the veteran generals in the court who were good at fighting were ashamed.

And Zhou Zheng's victory will definitely further enhance his reputation.

The limelight overshadowed the eldest prince and the second prince!

This is definitely not what the courtiers want to see, let alone what Liu Fu and the eldest and second prince want to see.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indispensable for this great victory."

"But it's even more because I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have been favored by God and protected by the gods under His Majesty's governance."

"It is said that on that day, thunder fell from the sky, crushing Daxia's fighting spirit in one fell swoop. Therefore, our Zhenbei Army was unstoppable and achieved a great victory!"

The Minister of Rites came out and knelt respectfully in the court hall.

He attributed most of the credit to the divine blessing of the Zhou Dynasty.

In other words, even if it was not Zhou Zheng but anyone else, the result would be like this.

Seeing this, other ministers quickly agreed.

At this time, they have the same goal, which is to weaken Zhou Zheng's contribution as much as possible.

Only in this way can the eldest prince and second prince be protected to a greater extent.

Otherwise, in the eyes of the world, the eldest prince and the second prince would be extremely incompetent and useless compared to the prince.

"This great victory in the northern border also brought Yangning City back."

"The prince must be rewarded generously."

Liu Fu, who had been silent for the whole time, slowly spoke.

But his words made many ministers' expressions darken.

What does it mean! ?

Everyone is undermining Zhou Zheng's contribution, why does Liu Fu want to sing the opposite tune?

Even Zhou Fan turned pale. They obviously didn't understand what Liu Fu had done at this time.

"I suggest that the prince be sent back to the capital and rewarded heavily."

"At the same time, let the Ministry of War deploy elite soldiers and generals from the three lines of defense to station in the northern border and completely control Yangning City."

"Since then, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have not only recovered the lost territory, but also made the court worry-free in the future."

Liu Fu's impassioned words made the ministers who were originally stunned and unable to understand react instantly.

Then, there was a chorus of agreement.

It turned out that Liu Fu's real purpose was to let the imperial court firmly hold the northern border in its hands again.

This great victory in the north caused heavy damage to Daxia, and it was impossible to invade south in a short period of time.

At this time, it is the best solution for the imperial court to regain control of the northern land and Yangning City.

After thinking about this, many ministers gave Liu Fu a thumbs up.

In this way, it can not only give an explanation to the people of the world, but also achieve the purpose of the court.

Killing two birds with one stone is wonderful.

Zhou Fan and Zhou Ting, who were still a little angry, felt slightly moved.

According to this method, they all still have the opportunity to resettle their own people in the Northern Land and Yangning City.

Therefore, naturally there will be no objection.

"So, very good!"

Emperor Tianjing thought for a while and nodded.

"My dear, I will leave the matter of drafting the decree to you."

"Remember, we must give heavy rewards to the soldiers in the Northern Territory."

......

The northern land, the general's mansion.

After the victory, there was no excitement on everyone's faces.

On the contrary, the atmosphere among everyone present was solidified and heavy.

"I owe you a debt of gratitude to these ten thousand brothers!"

"I, the Imperial Court of Great Zhou, and the people of Great Zhou owe a debt of gratitude to these ten thousand brothers!"

After a long time, Zhou Zheng slowly stood up and spoke.

This time, the core of what makes it loud is black powder.

Zhou Zheng filled the black gunpowder into the sealed medicine bag based on the original.

As long as it is ignited, it can form a violent explosion, producing great destructive power and lethality.

However, there is a big problem with these explosive packets, which is that they need to be thrown into the enemy camp.

If it is done in an ordinary way, it will definitely attract the attention of the enemy.

Therefore, Zhou Zheng chose those ten thousand brothers.

He hid it from everyone and asked these ten thousand brothers to use their lives to send these explosive packets into the enemy's camp.

When this mission was given, these ten thousand brothers were destined to die.

They didn't back down or even be timid!

They did not hesitate to use their own flesh and blood to become Zhou Zheng's pawns!

Tens of thousands of people sacrificed their lives to create a shocking and shocking scene in which the gods descended and the gods of death entered the mortal world!

Otherwise, no matter how powerful the elite Zhou Zheng brought, they would have no chance of winning in this battle.

"They can die on the battlefield, die well and have no regrets."

Marquis Zhenbei’s voice was hoarse.

How can there be undead in war?

Since ancient times, kindness does not control soldiers, and righteousness does not control wealth!

The Marquis of Zhenbei never felt that Zhou Zheng had done anything wrong. As long as he could win, let alone sacrifice more than 10,000 people, even if he, the Marquis of Zhenbei, was allowed to go to the front as a stepping stone, he would be willing to do so and would never regret it.

"But now that the battle is over, they can rest in peace."

Xiao Bao sighed softly.

He knew very well how difficult this battle was for the Zhenbei Army.

Fortunately, the battle is over, and those brothers have deserved their deaths.

"Finish!?"

However, Zhou Zheng shook his head.

"The fight is not over."

"It's just the beginning."

Zhou Zheng's words made everyone's hearts sink slightly.

Then he fell into silence thoughtfully.

......
