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

Yan Pan led his men and continued northward.

Fifty miles further ahead is Zhou Zheng’s sphere of influence.

However, these fifty miles were too difficult for them.

Looking at the increasingly vague figures of the hundreds of people left behind, Yan Pan knew very well that this wave of goodbye would be a farewell forever.

This is the Zhenbei Army, the Zhenbei Army that moved countless people in the Great Zhou, the backbone of the Great Zhou, and the support of the people!

However, Yan Pan could do nothing at this moment except shed tears.

He was unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

The best way is to let these hundred people stay and die.

"Brothers, it's time for us to make a name for the Zhenbei Army!"

Similarly, when seeing Yan Pan and others disappear from sight, the bearded man who led the Zhenbei Army not only showed no panic in his eyes, but even had a hint of striving.

This sign of excitement is the state they once displayed on the battlefield, a state that determines both victory and defeat, and life and death.

They will use their own flesh and blood to complete the mission for Yan Pan behind them and to keep their brothers alive, but they have no regrets!

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Hundreds of people howled to the sky, looking at the corpses piled all over the ground. Not only was there no panic in their eyes, but there was a hint of ruthlessness.

So what if they are the elite of the imperial court? ! So what if they are the so-called righteous army of Emperor Tianjing? !

They have lived their entire lives only for the three words "Zhenbei Army"!

"Divide into ten teams and erase all the marks of the wheel!"

"Remember, at the very least, you must wipe out the area three miles away, leaving no trace behind!"

At the command, hundreds of people began to cooperate in an orderly manner. They were very fast and their movements were quite skillful, flowing like water without any drag.

The so-called three miles are not only the three miles that Yan Pan and others left behind them, but also include the three miles before the war.

An hour passed and the hundred people were finally dealt with.

At this point, they were all showing signs of fatigue, but despite this fatigue, they showed no signs or thoughts of stopping to rest, nor did they even have the slightest intention of complaining.

Because everyone knows that cleaning up these traces is just the beginning.

The next thing to do is to move the battlefield.

They wanted to move the battlefield where they had previously fought with dozens of elite cavalrymen from the imperial court to the opposite direction.

Only in this way can we truly lure the court's elite into misjudging the direction and create greater difficulties for the subsequent pursuit.

Of course they knew that this method could not trap the court's elite for too long.

After all, they were able to find the direction where Yan Pan and others disappeared, and followed the trail to look for them.

But by then, it didn't matter anymore.

Because what they have to do is to delay time as much as possible to buy time for Yan Pan and others to go and find Zhou Zheng.

As long as Zhou Zheng is found, it doesn’t matter even if his whereabouts are exposed at that time.

Looking at the corpses lying all over the ground, they gritted their teeth, looked at each other, then took a deep breath and began to move them frantically.

What they had to carry were not only the corpses, but also the war horses.

Move it from this place to a place several miles away.

As for the bloodstains at the scene, they were covered with soil.

Before the reinforcements arrived, they deliberately confused their true location and territory.

Even if the price is that these hundreds of people are exhausted and even have no strength to fight, so what?

The purpose of their staying here was never to survive, but to die here.

Die in what they consider to be a heroic victory!

......

Two hours passed quickly.

And everything happened just as the Zhenbei Army had expected. When the imperial army did not receive any news from the outposts, they finally realized something was wrong.

The further north you go, the closer you are to Zhou Zheng’s base camp.

"Official, could it be that Zhou Zheng has noticed it?"

The news soon reached the ears of the prime minister. Some generals knelt on the ground, and there was a hint of panic and uncertainty in their voices.

He did not call the prime minister "prime minister" or "general", but used "official" to describe the title. It is obvious that the status of the prime minister in the hearts of the people at this time is no longer the same as before.

What is an official? It is said that before the word emperor appeared, the supreme ruler used this word to describe himself.

In the current situation, people below all call the Prime Minister "Guan Jia", which is obviously to please him. It also shows that after this battle, the Prime Minister will replace Emperor Tianjing.

"Humph, no one knows where I've passed along the way."

"Do you really think Zhou Zheng has three heads and six arms?!"

The prime minister waved his hand with a look of disdain.

They marched at an extremely fast speed along the way, and caused a huge commotion wherever they passed, but with the help of local gentry and powerful people, the news never leaked.

So whenever they arrive at a place, they will cause such a big commotion as if they had dropped from the sky.

He didn't believe that Zhou Zheng could find his whereabouts under such strict control of information.

This is not the Prime Minister's confidence in himself, but the Prime Minister's confidence in the five ancient families.

Besides, based on his understanding of Zhou Zheng, if Zhou Zheng really knew their whereabouts, he would not have sat there and waited for death, but would have taken action at all costs to intercept and kill them, or ambush and subvert them.

But now, everything is calm, which can only mean one thing, that is, everything was within his expectations as prime minister, and Zhou Zheng had no idea they were there.

When the prime minister thought of this, his heart was filled with joy.

In this decisive battle, what he wants is not only to win, but also to use thundering means, a crazy attitude, and an absolute crushing force to defeat Zhou Zheng.

From then on, the real hero and god of the Great Zhou was no longer Zhou Zheng, but his prime minister.

He will replace Zhou Zheng, become the ruler of the Great Zhou, and become the king who revives the Great Zhou!

“The further north you go, the more rugged the terrain becomes.”

"And Zhou Zheng's army is stationed in a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Only by killing them and crossing this mountain range can we reach the flat northern border."

The prime minister seemed to be mumbling to himself, as if telling the generals how knowledgeable he was.

The entire northern border is the last line of defense of the Great Zhou and the last barrier of Kyoto.

But everyone overlooked that there was a huge mountain range between this northern border and Kyoto.

The mountains are rugged and easy to defend but difficult to attack, forming a defensive area that is enough to give Kyoto enough time to react.

Zhou Zheng placed himself in the city in the mountains to confront the imperial court.

In the prime minister's opinion, the normal marching speed would naturally be slower over this distance.

It’s not a big problem that the outpost didn’t send back messages on time as before.

This response made the kneeling general feel depressed, but facing the prime minister's self-righteous deduction, he did not dare to say a word.

You know, the two hours set by the outpost were the result of countless life-and-death battles.

During these two hours, no matter how rugged or rugged the terrain is, it will not change.

It can be seen that the prime minister has everything under control. Although the generals are anxious, they can only smile and praise the emperor's wisdom.

As for the prime minister, he has an army of 300,000 at his command and the support of the five ancient families, so he naturally will not be afraid.

Not to mention that he has the advantage of time, place and people, even if he fights head-on, he has a 100% chance of winning.

......

"Sir, the outpost hasn't replied yet!"

Another half hour passed.

At this time, the generals finally couldn't hold back anymore.

They knelt before the Prime Minister, with a hint of panic in their tone.

There were dozens of elite cavalrymen at the outpost, but now none of them has returned. Could something really have happened?

If they encountered ordinary bandits, they would not panic. What they were afraid of was that Zhou Zheng had moved the large army forward a little without anyone noticing.

That would be truly passive for them.

After all, the most important thing in a war is to know yourself and your enemy so that you can win every battle.

"Humph, how can you be so flustered?!"

The Prime Minister finally put down the teacup in his hand and looked at the many generals kneeling on the ground with disdain.

After all, he was born a military general, and he didn't look calm at all.

It seems that we still have to rely on ourselves for the Great Zhou.

The Prime Minister sat up straight after sighing softly, and then cleared his throat: "Order, send 500 elite soldiers to see what happened ahead."

"If the outposts themselves are late, they will be punished by military law."

With a wave of his hand, the prime minister finally gave the order.
