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

"Boss!"

"Now that brothers are full of fighting spirit, why not take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"

Now the northern land seems to have returned to its previous calm.

Although the decadence after the war was still there, the attack on Daxia that everyone thought they would have did not happen. Instead, Zhou Zheng asked Xiao Guan to start a large-scale military training.

Use Xiangjun's military training methods to train the troops in the northern border.

At the same time, the injured soldiers were treated and those who died were treated with care and support.

It seemed that all the work was routine follow-up work, and there was no sign of continuing the attack.

Before, maybe everyone thought it was normal, but now everyone doesn't think so.

"With such a heaven-defying existence as Black Gunpowder, we can run rampant without any hindrance."

"If God blocks the God, kill the God; if the Buddha blocks the Buddha, kill the Buddha!"

"Boss, the soldiers are all suffocating in their hearts, and they can't wait to release the hundreds of years of grievances at once."

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was unmoved, Zhou Ping continued to speak a little impatiently.

If it were before, even the elite Zhenbei Army would not dare to set foot on the territory of Daxia Kingdom easily.

But now things are different.

With Zhou Zheng, Black Gunpowder, and the previous great victory, they were fearless and determined to win.

The so-called one-time success will eventually lead to failure!

In Zhou Ping's view, now is the perfect time.

In addition, it is also what tens of thousands of soldiers in the north are eager to do now.

They had been suppressed by the Great Xia Kingdom for three hundred years. They saw countless comrades fall beside them and died in the hands of the Great Xia soldiers.

They saw countless people of the Zhou Dynasty being bullied by the cavalry of the Great Xia Kingdom!

They don't want to have days like this again.

They wanted to truly take advantage of the opportunity of a great war to make the elites of the Great Zhou Dynasty famous all over the world, to make Great Xia also fear Great Zhou, and to truly eliminate the inner fear of Great Xia.

Can!

But at this time, Zhou Zheng remained silent.

"Boss, you were the one who took the lead in the battle before!"

"Do you still remember what you said?!"

"Kou can go, so can I!"

"Why, you don't do that now?"

Zhou Ping, looking at Zhou Zheng who still looked calm at this time, his pupils kept shrinking.

Zhou Ping couldn't understand why there seemed to be a slight change after Zhou Zheng took over the Zhenbei Army.

Seeing the dimming light in Zhou Ping's pupils, Zhou Zheng also became complicated inside.

"You can fight at any time."

"But if the North-Suppressing Army is gone, will the land of the north still be the land of the north..."

Why doesn't Zhou Zheng want to attack Daxia? ? Why don't you want to promote Zhou's national prestige? !

Why don't you want to take this group of elite troops to take revenge! ?

"In the northern region, there are only 50,000 people who can fight, and there are only more than 30,000 elites."

"This is grandpa's last fortune."

"If they were gone, would my grandfather still be called the Marquis of Zhenbei? Can the northern border become the strongest defense line in the north of the Zhou Dynasty?"

Zhou Zheng smiled bitterly, it seemed like they were so powerful now, they had black powder!

However, the Zhenbei Army has only grown from 200,000 to 300,000 to 50,000 now.

Zhou Zheng didn’t dare to fight!

If the imperial court was willing to send troops, Zhou Zheng might be able to give it a try, but unfortunately, no!

Zhou Zheng's words made Zhou Ping fall into silence.

He has followed Zhou Zheng for more than two years, so he naturally knows Zhou Zheng's temperament.

"But the brothers of the Zhenbei Army are not afraid of death..."

He spoke softly, but the voice was too soft and drifted in the sky with the wind.

"I asked my uncle to train them in order to improve their combat effectiveness."

"Just so that when grandpa comes back, I can give him a real eagle cavalry!"

This time, Zhenbei Hou returned to Kyoto alone with the Minister of Rites. Everything seemed so natural, but in fact Zhou Zheng knew that the future was uncertain.

If you want to protect Xiao Mu's safety, you must ensure the existence of the Zhenbei Army!

Because this is an elite team that has followed Xiao Mu for decades!

As long as they are still there, the court will not dare to really deal with Xiao Muhu.

But if they continue to march north to Daxia and are all destroyed, then Zhenbei Hou will really have nothing to rely on.

Zhou Zheng's words made Zhou Ping fall into deep thought.

"But we still have black powder..."

Zhou Ping lowered his head and clenched his fists.

He was still unwilling to give up.

He, Zhou Ping, was also a disciple of the royal family and the current heir apparent. He knew very well that the current Great Zhou Dynasty needed a victory over Great Xia.

If we can march straight in, if we can attack Huanglong, if we can frighten the Great Xia Kingdom!

Then the reputation of the Great Zhou Dynasty will reach its peak, and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be able to develop steadily for decades or even hundreds of years.

The significance is beyond imagination!

"Black powder!"

"Gone......"

Zhou Zheng shook his head with a bitter look on his face.

With Zhou Zheng's blessing, although the black powder could not exert the power of a real bomb, it was still incredibly lethal, far more powerful than ordinary trebuchets and repeating crossbows.

As long as there is enough black powder, in principle it can indeed be pushed all the way.

Unfortunately, the sulfur and nitrate among the raw materials required for black gunpowder are not so easy to refine and common.

In order to obtain enough sulfur and nitrate, Zhou Zheng asked the Su family to find ways to collect these things three months ago.

But even so, it cannot withstand the consumption of war.

In the later stage, it will take time to continue to refine sulfur and nitrate.

It can be said that at this time, there was not much sulfur and nitrate left in the entire Great Zhou world.

Otherwise, how could Zhou Zheng let those Daxia soldiers leave so easily.

"I see!?......"

Finally, Zhou Ping blinked, feeling helpless.

I thought that the materials for black powder would be easy, but now it seems that is not the case.

However, Zhou Ping's admiration for Zhou Zheng became even stronger.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Su family being squeezed by the three major families and retreating from various places in the Zhou Dynasty to Xiangjun, and taking advantage of the situation to bring the raw materials back to Xiangjun without anyone noticing, this alone is enough foresight.

"Is this all we can do?"

Without black powder, Zhou Ping knew very well that relying solely on the current elite Zhenbei Army was not enough to pose a threat to Daxia.

It is not impossible for the whole army to be wiped out by one mistake.

But he was still unwilling to give up!

After all, this is the first real victory for the Zhou Dynasty against the Great Xia Kingdom in three hundred years!

It's a pity that it was too short-lived and not brilliant.

"No!"

"I have long said that this battle is far from over."

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng's eyes suddenly became serious and he looked at Zhou Ping.

"Boss, if you give me any orders, I will do it to my death!"

This look was all too familiar to Zhou Ping.

He quickly stood upright and spoke righteously without hesitation.
