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

Zhou Zheng's comfort and promise made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Especially General Chen and others, the stones in their hearts fell even more.

The 300,000 troops are the final trump card and foundation of the imperial court.

But now, there are only three or four out of ten survivors, which can be said to have shaken the foundation of the country!

With Emperor Tianjing's temperament, even if they win this great victory on the grassland, severe punishment will be inevitable.

However, with Zhou Zheng, they felt a little more settled.

"Bros!"

"The grasslands are primitive and materials are scarce. I can't hold a celebration banquet for you now!"

"Have you seen Qingshan Lake behind?!"

"I will pour all the old wines brought from the palace into it."

"Drink the water of Qingshan Lake with you all, and wish this great victory together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Ping poured the dozens of jars of fine wine he had prepared into Qingshan Lake.

For a moment, the faint scent of wine filled the air.

Afterwards, Zhou Zheng strode to Qingshan Lake, scooped up a bowl, and drank it in big gulps!

"This time, all the credit belongs to everyone! When I return to the court, I will reward you all brothers!!"

"I don't want any of the rewards from the imperial court. I will distribute them equally to all my brothers."

"In addition, I have decided that no matter how the court rewards me in the end, I will give each brother an additional thirty taels of silver!"

"In addition, give each brother who died fifty taels of silver to comfort their families!"

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and made a promise on the spot!

And this promise made all the soldiers present excited and crazy.

Although they are the elites of the imperial court, their annual salary is only so much! ?

But Zhou Zheng, at this moment, waved his hand and offered a huge reward, even to his dead brothers!

For a moment, when all the soldiers looked at Zhou Zheng, their eyes were a little scarlet, their faces looked excited, and they admired Zhou Zheng endlessly!

"You don't need to thank me, this is what you all deserve!"

Then Zhou Zheng waved his hand and let all the brothers drink the wine from Qingshan Lake!

General Chen and others looked at each other with a bitter smile on their faces.

An army of 300,000 would cost at least tens of millions of taels of silver!

Even the imperial court cannot easily come up with such huge sums of money.

They didn't know where Zhou Zheng got so much money, but everyone knew that just because of this, Zhou Zheng might really get the recognition of these elites this time!

Will this really be a good thing for the court?

Shaking their heads, they couldn't understand, and they didn't bother to think about it anymore.

"Your Highness, are the more than 8,000 surrendered troops sent back to the court first?"

"Or should you go back to Beijing with the army?"

General Chen took a deep breath, walked up to Zhou Zheng, and asked softly.

The other generals also pricked up their ears, obviously wanting to know how Zhou Zheng would deal with it.

"Kill them all."

Zhou Zheng looked calm, even a little indifferent.

Kill them all! ?

Just four words, but it made everyone's heart tremble!

They thought about countless possibilities, but none of them expected that Zhou Zheng would take their lives in such a calm tone.

"But Your Highness!?"

"Didn't I say before that those who refuse to surrender will be killed?!"

Gritting his teeth, General Chen thought he had heard wrongly, so he quickly confirmed it again.

"Whoever does not descend, die!"

"Those who surrender will also die!"

Zhou Zheng's understatement made everyone present feel their hearts sink.

Even Zhou Ping's mouth twitched after hearing these words, "What the hell, if this is the case, what's the point of saying that those who don't surrender will die?"

However, Zhou Ping was not too surprised by Zhou Zheng's reaction.

"But the coach!"

"Since ancient times, soldiers have been surrendered without killing."

General Yu and several other veterans also spoke quickly.

Once the surrendered soldiers are killed, who will dare to surrender in the future war?

Either way, death is inevitable, so what’s the point of surrendering! ?

If the world sets this precedent, how will future wars proceed? !

However, Zhou Zheng sneered at this.

Since ancient times, in wars, victory is victory and defeat is defeat.

"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!"

"Do you really think those people are sincerely surrendering? Are you really sure they won't rebel midway?!"

"We are also short of food and grass, how can we feed eight thousand people!?"

"What if they riot once they arrive in the Imperial Capital!?"

Zhou Zheng snorted coldly. He didn't care if the two armies were fighting, let alone if they killed the soldiers.

"If you don't kill them, how can you explain to your dead brothers?!"

"If you don't kill them, have you asked those brothers who died in their hands? Have you asked those brothers whose limbs were severed and severely injured and turned into cripples?!"

Zhou Zheng was so aggressive that for a moment, the generals were speechless!

"Those who surrender don't need to be killed!"

"If they surrender at first, I will give them a chance."

"But they surrendered at the last moment, knowing full well that they were in a losing situation with no way to retaliate."

"late!"

Shaking his head, Zhou Zheng looked at the surrendered soldiers not far away from the corner of his eye.

His eyes were cold and showed no mercy.

These people must die!

"Master!"

"Once these surrendered soldiers are killed, Daxia Kingdom will really fight to the death!"

General Hou still couldn't bear it and raised his head to try to persuade him again.

"We, Da Zhou and Da Xia, have long been in a fight to the death!"

"Do you think that by releasing these eight thousand people, the two sides will be able to turn their hostility into friendship?"

"Innocent!"

With a flick of his cuffs, Zhou Zheng's expression turned gloomy.

"It's been three hundred years. The Great Xia Kingdom has been bullying and bullying our Great Zhou Dynasty for three hundred years!"

"When the people of my great Zhou Dynasty were unable to beg for mercy, did they put away their butcher knives?!"

"Did they stop the war when my soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty were no longer capable of fighting?!"

"Benevolence is only effective for those who practice benevolence."

"To deal with the Great Xia Kingdom, we should use the most direct, simple and crude method, that is to defeat them! Completely defeat them!"

Zhou Zheng's voice was loud and without any emotion.

And his unquestionable order also made the generals' hearts tremble slightly.

Then, Zhou Zheng waved his hand, and Gan Mo and others understood, leading a group of archers and headed straight towards the more than 8,000 Daxia soldiers.

"Commander, if you cheat and kill the pawns, you will lose your life..."

General Chen seems to be still making his last effort.

But Zhou Zheng no longer wanted to listen to him, so he interrupted his words on the spot.

"Generals, I will tell you another truth today!"

"Compassion does not control soldiers, and righteousness does not control wealth!"

Zhou Zheng closed his eyes slightly, but it was just eight thousand soldiers.

In his world, Bai Qi once killed an army of 300,000 people. Didn't he also live for more than seventy years?

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of thousands of arrows piercing the sky resounded.

The more than 8,000 surrendered soldiers did not even have time to react before they were pierced by arrows in the chest and died on the spot!

When they died, their eyes were wide open, and they were obviously unwilling to die in peace.

Da da da! ! !

At the same time, the sound of galloping horse hooves not far away came from far and near, crazy!

This change made everyone's nerves tense again.

Could it be that there are still remnants of Daxia Kingdom that have not been wiped out?

"The decree has arrived!"

"Zhou Zheng accepts the order!"
