Facing the excited crowd, Qin Ze looked ashamed and said:

"Although I, Qin Ze, have done some things for the people, it is just my job."

"How can I, Qin Zehe De, sit on this throne?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ye shouted:

"If those powerful people think that serving the people is their duty, how can the world be in chaos?"

"How could Beiliang starve to death every year, and how could Xijing be invaded by Tuyuan Kingdom?"

"It's because they don't treat the people as human beings and sit back and do nothing, only caring about themselves, that they let Daqian suffer this disaster!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Ye knelt down in front of Qin Ze with a bang and shouted:

"My lord! There is no one more suitable to be emperor than you!"

"If you are not the king of the country, how can the people of this world agree?"

"This is not my request, but the request of the people all over the world!"

This statement came out.

"Bang bang bang!"

Countless people behind him knelt on the ground, looked at Qin Ze with sincere faces and said:

"Your Majesty! If you are willing to rise up and overthrow the Dog Emperor, we will fully support you!"

Qin Ze hurriedly helped Zhang Ye up and said at the same time:

"It's impossible, how can I be worthy of such an important task?"

Seeing that Qin Ze was still refusing, Zhang Ye was furious and said loudly:

"My lord! Are you worried that you won't be able to defeat the Dog Emperor?"

"As long as you speak, I can hand over my life to the prince!"

"After today's incident in Xijing, I don't know how many people are disappointed with the imperial court. Why don't they feel the same as me!"

As soon as Zhang Ye finished speaking, the people behind him started shouting.

"My lord! You are the one who is destined!"

"He is both virtuous and capable of defeating Huma. He defeated Tu Yuan and was completely defeated. But he is also afraid of what the dog emperor will do!"

"If you are worried that there are not enough soldiers and horses, all men, women and children in Xijing should come and join the army!"

Dian Wei, who was behind Qin Ze, pursed his lips slightly and raised his head slightly.

Huo Qubing, on the other hand, looked at Qin Ze without blinking, his face red, and he had obviously been holding back his words.

Only Bai Qi's expression did not change, but he looked at the deep night at the border and didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, Qin Ze raised his head, looked at the crowd and said:

"Now Tuyuan Kingdom is still watching the border of Xijing. This is the most urgent matter at the moment."

"As for overthrowing Jin Fengluan and establishing a new Ming Lord, this is a matter for the future, so we should not rush it."

"Let me repel the Tuyuan Kingdom first, and protect my Dagan territory from being lost!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked solemn and showed admiration on their faces.

Zhang Ye looked excited and said:

"At this time, the prince will still work hard and put the people first. How can such a person not ascend to the throne!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone shouted:

"Your Majesty! Whenever you say you want to overthrow Jin Fengling, we will definitely support you as emperor!"

Qin Ze's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression remained unchanged, but he said no more words.

At this time, Bai Qi, who was behind him, stepped forward and whispered a few words in Qin Ze's ear.

Qin Ze nodded slightly.

Immediately, Bai Qi looked at everyone and said:

"Everyone, I have come to Xijing for assistance on this trip. I am rushing all the way. I will not be able to bring my belongings with me in the future, so I will need to borrow your tents and other things."

"Today, the Tuyuan Army is still at the border. There will definitely be another battle in the next few days. Everyone, please return to the city first and leave this place to us!"

Zhang Ye opened his mouth and was about to speak when Qin Ze waved his hand and said:

"When it comes to marching and fighting, my soldiers and horses are better at it!"

"Everyone, please come back!"

As soon as he said this, Zhang Ye nodded and faced the crowd and said:

"Everyone, the prince has to fight against Tu Yuan's army. Let's go back to the city immediately and prepare the luggage for the prince!"

“Leave the logistics to us!”

As soon as the words fell, the Xijing Resistance Army immediately agreed.

Qin Ze walked to Zhang Ye and said:

"We don't need the military rations anymore, let the people keep them."

When Zhang Ye heard this, he was even more moved and said, "Your Majesty, I killed Ruan Zhenfu, the commander of Xijing's army. I don't know how much food he has in his house."

"The prince is going on an expedition, how can he be without food?"

"Soldiers are all human beings and they also need to eat. How can they do without food? It's freezing cold and we can't let them fight hungry!"

Qin Ze waved his hand: "The food of Tuyuan Army is my food. I, Qin Ze, will never take a stitch from the common people! If I do, it will be taken from the enemy!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone's face turned red, and the admiration on their faces almost overflowed!

"Your Majesty! You...you are really..."

Qin Ze interrupted: "It's getting late, please go back to the city first!"

"There will be a tough battle to be fought next, so we should rest and prepare in advance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ze waved his cloak, leaving a free and easy figure behind, and walked into the cavalry...

Zhang Ye's eyes turned red after seeing this, and he immediately summoned one of his subordinates and ordered him to take people back to the city quickly and collect tents and other supplies overnight.

As the rebels in Xijing returned to the city, the news that King Zhenbei came with his army and killed all the invading Tuyuan troops in one fell swoop naturally spread throughout Xijing!

The people who received this news were excited and their gratitude was beyond words.

People were heartbroken to learn that these soldiers who were protecting their homes and country were not only without military rations, but also without a place to stay in order to travel.

Knowing that they were unwilling to return to the city because they wanted to continue fighting against Tu Yuan's army, they were moved to tears.

Immediately, everyone became busy that night.

Under the organization of the Xijing rebels, they rushed into the Tongjun Mansion and the homes of those aristocratic families. They collected the food and various military supplies that they had no time to take away, and sent them out of the city non-stop.

The common people are plain and simple. If you treat them well, they will see it and give everything.

Similarly, the power of the people is also powerful, especially when everyone is united.

Soon, all kinds of supplies were sent out of the city, the tents were erected spontaneously by the people, the firewood sent was lit, and the pots were set up to stew food.

Although Qin Ze has repeatedly stated that there is no need for food, there are still people who kill pigs and slaughter chickens, just to do their best to feed and clothe the soldiers.

After all, they are fighting for themselves!

-

At midnight, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Outside Xijing City, the endless military camps were already illuminated by bonfires.

Dian Wei, Huo Qubing, and Bai Qi were sitting around a bonfire. Three chickens were roasting beside the fire. Dian Wei stared at them without blinking.

Huo Qubing was chatting with Bai Qi at the moment.

"The people sent to follow haven't come back yet, and I don't know how many people there are in Tuyuan Kingdom at the border." Huo Qubing touched his chin and thought deeply.

Bai Qi rubbed his hands and said calmly: "No matter how many or how few, there are ways to annihilate them. I'm worried that they will become timid after this battle. If they retreat and return home, it will be a bit troublesome."

"We are in such a hurry today that we didn't know in advance how many people the Tuyuan Army had sent to Xijing. If we had known earlier that they would only have 70,000 or 80,000 people today, there would be no need to send an army of 300,000 people here at once."

As soon as he said this, Dian Wei withdrew his gaze from the roast chicken and looked at Bai Qi with a puzzled look on his face:

"Why? Isn't it better to have more people beating less people?"

Bai Qi chuckled, but this smile looked particularly gloomy and weird.

"Hide some soldiers and horses, pretend to fight them back and forth, and let some of them go back to make them think they have a chance to win. Only in this way will they continue to organize their soldiers and horses to launch an attack."

"The beating was too severe this time. Wouldn't it be a pity if they were afraid and would not dare to come here in the future?"

"Didn't my lord say that the more people we annihilate, the more troops we have."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dian Wei nodded with a look of understanding.

Huo Qubing touched his chin and said: "From this point of view, I can only hope that Tu Yuan's army will become more courageous as they fight..."

"I hope they won't admit defeat..."

"The more you come and the more you kill, the more soldiers you will have..."

As soon as he said this, Dian Wei raised his head and laughed.

Bai Qi's complexion changed and he said in a deep voice:

"Arrogant soldiers will be defeated, so it's better to restrain yourself."

"When you win the battle, it's not too late to laugh happily."

Dian Wei's face tightened and he stopped talking and started eating the roasted chicken.

At this moment, a soldier trotted over and Huo Qubing waved. The soldier took out a map of Kantu from his arms and handed it to Huo Qubing.

By the light of the fire, Huo Qubing unfolded the map of Kantu, looked at Bai Qi and said, "This is the map of Kantu that I ordered people to get from the Tongjun Mansion in Xijing. It covers the terrain of the border areas."

Bai Didian nodded, and the two of them lowered their heads and looked carefully...

-

At night, at the junction of the two countries.

A wide river runs through the land, forming two distinct areas. On the river, a bridge connects the two places.

A few hundred meters away from the river, a bonfire was lit that illuminated the Tuyuan Army camp. Outside the endless tents, two fleeing cavalrymen came on horseback.

As the two men entered the camp, commotion soon broke out in the originally quiet camp.

In one of the tents, a scream almost echoed through the entire military camp.

"What?! They're all dead?!"
