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

"Leave no one behind!"

Gritting his teeth, King Zhenbei looked at Zhou Zheng again, his eyes somewhat red and bloodshot.

As the King of Zhenbei, how could he not know the consequences of a bloodbath at this time?

However, he knew better that if he did not take action this time, the Zhenbei Army would no longer have a good reputation in the future.

He would be sorry for those brothers of the Zhenbei Army who died, and sorry for the spirit of the Zhenbei Army that countless people defended with their lives!

Therefore, even if the price of doing so would cause unrest in the morale of tens of thousands of Zhenbei troops, he didn't care.

The firm gaze was only filled with apology and guilt when it fell on Zhou Zheng.

Because he knew that the person who would be most affected by doing this would be Zhou Zheng.

"how long it takes?"

However, Zhou Zheng just smiled faintly. When he looked at King Zhenbei, his face was full of gentle smiles.

Zhou Zheng knew that if Xiao Mu did not deal with this matter, it would leave a thorn in his heart.

These sharp thorns would sting his internal organs all the time and might even cause him to collapse.

The King of Zhenbei is no longer the man who fought alone in the bloody battles. He carries the souls of hundreds of thousands or even millions of Zhenbei soldiers on his shoulders.

Therefore, he would never allow so many traitors in the current Zhenbei Army.

He would not allow Zhou Zheng to fail in the final battle because of these traitors.

In other words, in the eyes of King Zhenbei, they could lose this battle, and even die, but!

This failure cannot be blamed on the Zhenbei Army.

Once the news gets out, no matter how much we do in the future, no matter how we make up for it in the future, the damage to the Zhenbei Army will be permanent.

"one day!"

"Your Majesty, please give the veteran a day."

Xiao Mu's voice trembled, and his eyes were filled with impatience as he looked at Zhou Zheng.

The time for the imperial army to arrive at the city is getting closer and closer, and no one even knows when exactly the imperial court will take action.

The imperial court wanted to catch Zhou Zheng off guard, but Zhou Zheng also had a trump card.

The appearance of the musket was enough to give Zhou Zheng a better chance of winning.

However, if the news of so many spies leaks out, the situation will be reversed again.

Therefore, for both public and private reasons, Xiao Mu would not let these spies live.

He didn't know how they had entered the Zhenbei Army, nor did he know how much information they had passed on, let alone whether they had any hidden missions.

But these are not important anymore.

Because in Xiao Mu's opinion, they all have to die today!

Not only the people on the list, but everyone related to them must die!

Even if this spreads throughout the army, even if this causes them to lose more than half of their troops, so what? !

"it is good!"

"I'll go with you!"

"Grandpa!"

"I told you that you don't have to worry about this matter!"

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, his eyes flickered and his fists clenched slightly.

What he needs is never the advantage of the elite in quantity, but the advantage of the elite in quality.

Among them, loyalty is the first priority!

......

Military training ground!

The 60,000 Zhenbei troops had already received the news and stood in unison.

They were dressed in elite armor, holding spears and sharp knives in their hands, and exuded a strong fighting spirit.

Looking around, it was pitch black, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on a city, threatening to destroy it. Even just a glance at it would make one feel terrified.

However, Zhou Zheng, who was standing at the forefront of the army, did not have much fluctuation in his eyes.

He even frowned slightly, with a hint of disappointment on his face.

These tens of thousands of elite soldiers are the result of the hard work of Xiao Mu and Xiao Guan. They are fully armed, have received modern training, and coupled with a balanced nutrition, these troops have a strength that can only be seen with the naked eye.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zheng keenly noticed that they were missing two things.

The same murderous intent!

On the battlefield, the elite certainly have advantages, but once they come into close combat, it will be a life-and-death situation.

At this time, what matters is not your killing skills, but whether you have murderous aura and whether you are not afraid of death enough!

Unfortunately, this elite force of tens of thousands of people seems to have strong combat effectiveness, but if they really end up on such a battlefield, I am afraid that when faced with an enemy that is several times their number, they will most likely turn around and run away.

The second thing is the bloody and crazy spirit of facing death with indifference!

This kind of bloody madness of facing death with indifference can only be acquired after going through countless life and death trials.

Why, in the past, the Zhenbei Army could remain calm and even fight back even when facing enemies that were several times their number? It was because they had this murderous aura in them.

Even if they didn't take action, even if they just stood beside them, the bloody killing engraved in their bones was as if they had walked out of hell, making people shudder.

It’s a pity that the seemingly elite Zhenbei Army does not have these two things.

The only thing that made Zhou Zheng feel gratified was that the thousands of elite soldiers who went to support King Zhou Yong were the true soul of the Zhenbei Army.

They are the last trump cards left by the hundreds of thousands of Zhenbei Army.

This was also the key reason why Zhou Zheng was confident in letting them go to support King Zhou Yong.

As long as those thousands of elite soldiers are still there, the Zhenbei Army will truly exist.

As for the tens of thousands of elite troops now, without absolute pay and without the nominal influence of the Zhenbei Army, how many of them would be able to stay here?

In addition, there are many spies planted by the five ancient families and the imperial court.

If we remove them, I'm afraid there will be very few left.

"Grandpa, I support you no matter what you do."

Retracting his gaze, Zhou Zheng turned sideways to look at King Zhenbei and spoke in a loud voice.

Before coming, he had ordered Lei Tong and others to close the city gates tightly, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without his order.

The last remaining muskets had already been secretly placed on a high ground by Zhou Zheng.

Just one gunshot is enough to kill those restless people!

As for what happened next, Zhou Zheng completely left it to Xiao Mu.

This was the Zhenbei Army that he had personally forged and built, so he had the final say.

Zhou Zheng's words finally made Xiao Mu and Xiao Guan feel a little relieved.

They all knew that there was no turning back for what happened today.

"Bros!"

Finally, King Zhenbei took a step forward, his eyes swept over tens of thousands of elite soldiers with a serious look, and then he shouted loudly.

These three short words were enough to show that Xiao Mu regarded the Zhenbei Army, which he had forged himself, as his own brothers.

His voice was loud, but also a little choked.

Looking at the hero whom they once admired in their hearts and hearing the slight tremor in his voice, many soldiers noticed something unusual.

These people stood straight. They had vaguely realized that what happened today was a little unusual.

However, no one spoke. Countless pairs of eyes stared at Xiao Mu quietly, waiting for him to speak next.

"I am Xiao Mu, the King of Zhenbei of the Great Zhou!"

"The Zhenbei Army, which I personally formed, has protected the Great Zhou for decades."

"Countless soldiers sacrificed their lives and shed their blood on the battlefield. The blood and fighting spirit of hundreds of thousands of people built the Great Wall of Steel of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and also forged the reputation of the Zhenbei Army as invincible in the world."

"In my life, I have only lived for two words: Great Zhou!"

Xiao Mu's voice became sonorous and powerful.

There was a hint of emotion in his words, his eyes were cloudy, and he seemed to have returned to the time when he was full of vigor and fighting on the battlefield.

However, now, looking around, there are only a few brothers left who once fought alongside him.

But, so what?!

He never regretted protecting the Great Zhou!

"You, with various reasons, rejoined the Zhenbei Army, giving the already shaky Zhenbei Army a chance to continue."

"I also believe that with your participation, the Great Zhou Zhenbei Army will not disappear in the long river of history."

"but!"

"I never expected that among you, whom I had placed high hopes on, there would be a spy!"

Buzz! ! !

Xiao Mu's last words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake.

In an instant, countless ripples were stirred up!

The Zhenbei Army, which had been quiet, was also filled with shock.

All of a sudden, countless noisy sounds whistled up!
