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

The prime minister's words shocked and stunned everyone on the spot.

Where does his confidence come from? What means and abilities does he have?

Is it just because of the 300,000 elite troops?

You know, Zhou Zheng’s previous battle record can be checked. Even the elite forces of a powerful country like the Great Xia were all annihilated by him. What’s more, Zhou Zheng now has the ace Zhenbei Army in his hand.

For a moment, the entire air froze.

Even those who fawned on the prime minister twitched their lips slightly. Everyone knew that this was either because the prime minister was being overly arrogant or because he was being too arrogant.

Obviously, in the eyes of everyone, the prime minister belongs to the second type.

If it weren't for the fact that the Prime Minister was the commander-in-chief, in a high position with great power, and had the support of the five great ancient families, and the fact that the current Emperor Tianjing had already been sidelined, I'm afraid that everyone present would have wanted to rush up and slap him in the face.

"May I ask the Prime Minister, what is your plan?"

Finally, someone couldn't help but look up and asked in a flattering tone.

The others also quickly turned their eyes to the Prime Minister. Obviously, they all wanted to know what tricks the Prime Minister had to bring peace to the world.

Whatever the possibility and reason, they wanted to hear it.

Feeling the eager gazes of the crowd, the prime minister coughed lightly, then slowly stood up, putting on an unfathomable look.

He put his hands behind his back, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then slowly opened them.

"There is only one plan!"

"That's the thunderous method to eradicate it completely!"

I thought the Prime Minister was going to come up with some earth-shattering plan, but I didn't expect him to use the most primitive method?

What the hell is this scheme?

Those who were about to flatter immediately couldn't help but stop where they were. For a moment, they couldn't think of how to flatter and could only smile bitterly.

"Everyone, you must always remember that we are the imperial court and the world of the Great Zhou. He, Zhou Zheng, is just a rebel."

"If we give up, how will we explain to the world?!"

"What we want is to kill them with thunderous means and suppress them."

"We want to tell the world that anyone who dares to challenge the imperial court will die."

"Even someone as strong as Zhou Zheng will end up dead in the end!"

The prime minister's words were so powerful and passionate that even he felt his blood boiling.

It feels so good to be able to point out the way forward and make decisions.

However, everyone was speechless.

If fighting a war is so easy, why do we need a commander? Why do we need a military advisor? Why do we need a counselor?

This is a war, a fight with real swords and guns, a matter of life and death, a matter of victory and defeat! This is not a game, and it is not something you can take for granted.

They really couldn't understand, could it be that the Prime Minister didn't know the true meaning of war before! ?

Not to mention being familiar with military books, you should have some understanding of Zhou Zheng, right? ?

If he had been a bit serious, he wouldn't have said such stupid words today.

"However, what you said is not without reason."

After thinking for a while, the prime minister suddenly turned to look at the general who had just made the suggestion, and there was a hint of approval in his eyes.

This change in attitude finally put everyone at ease.

After all, as long as the prime minister follows his own ideas, at least they will not be defeated easily.

With an army of 300,000, there is no need to use force. As long as they surround Zhou Zheng and cut off his food and water supply, Zhou Zheng will naturally be defeated without a fight.

Can't even hold on for too long.

In this battle, the easiest way is to trap Zhou Zheng to death!

Their court has the power of the whole world, the financial resources of the five great ancient families, the elite of the gentry and powerful people in the world, and the food and grass supply of the entire country.

They can afford to waste time, but Zhou Zheng can't!

Once all of Zhou Zheng's cards are used up, he will be like a toothless tiger, and can only be manipulated by others.

Of course, this is the safest way. Even if the prime minister is unwilling, as long as they fight head-on and advance step by step, they can have a 99% chance of winning.

"Send an order, let the army rest on the spot."

"After we have gathered our strength, we will directly attack the city and destroy Zhou Zheng!"

The Prime Minister's words made everyone's faces, which had originally relaxed, tense up again.

Just conserve your energy like this! ?

No consideration for digging trenches, building fences, or constructing barriers! ?

Just like that, we set up camp right here! ?

Didn't they send elite troops to investigate the news?!

What the hell is this tactic?

They really didn't figure it out, and couldn't figure out what the key problem was.

Still some generals couldn't help but give a gentle reminder.

At this moment, they only hoped that the Prime Minister was too busy with state affairs and did not listen carefully to the suggestion just now.

But who would have thought that the prime minister smiled coldly, with complete disdain in his eyes.

He heard it clearly, but he just didn't do it.

"Remember, we are the army of justice, the elite of the imperial court. Why should we investigate what Zhou Zheng has?!"

The prime minister looked at this group of generals coldly. In his opinion, these generals were just greedy for life and afraid of death.

Why did the imperial court's soldiers and generals always return home in defeat in the past?

Can’t defeat the Yuan Dynasty, can’t defeat the Great Xia Kingdom, and can’t defeat Zhou Zheng! ?

That means being cautious and hesitant, without the idea of ​​​​survival and the courage to move forward.

Now they have an army of 300,000 in their hands, with plenty of trump cards and means. They are still timid in such a sure-win situation. If they are really asked to command, even if the war is won, it will not be a good win.

"Zhou Zheng only has tens of thousands of people!? Do you think they dare to attack us?!"

"Not to mention that they have tens of thousands of people taking action, we can hear the noise from more than ten miles away and take action."

"So what if they appear before us without anyone noticing?!"

"That would save us the trouble. We can catch them all on the spot."

The prime minister's calculations are very clear.

In his opinion, the reason why people pursue so-called tactics and so-called means is simply because they lack strength.

In the face of absolute strength, all means are just paper tigers.

It just so happens that he now has absolute strength and he is fearless.

Of course, the prime minister is not completely brainless.

He was not very clear. He had a musket in his hand, but almost all of Zhou Zheng's musketeers had been sent to reinforce King Zhou Yong.

How many guns does Zhou Zheng have left in his hands now?

How effective can these guns be?

If Zhou Zheng really dares to take action, he will never be able to return.

Thinking of this, the Prime Minister could hardly hold back the smile on his face any longer.

Their coming is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, which just saves me some trouble.

"As for sending troops to investigate, there is no need for that."

"Everyone will think that we will send troops out to investigate. Do you think Zhou Zheng won't think so?!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Zheng has already prepared an ambush and wants to catch our spies again."

"So, as long as we do the opposite, Zhou Zheng will not be able to figure out our methods at all."

"During this period, they can only stay up all night, constantly defend, be cautious, and be on edge."

"In this case, it only takes three days. Do you think he can hold on with the elite troops he has?!"

The more he spoke, the more excited the prime minister became, and there was even a gleam in his eyes.

"At that time, when the decisive battle is about to begin, Zhou Zheng's Zhenbei Army will be extremely exhausted. On the other hand, our imperial army will be in high spirits. When the two sides fight, it can be said that it will be an absolute crushing victory, a 100% crushing victory!"

I have to say that the Prime Minister’s idea is quite perfect.

For a moment, the generals present didn't even know what expression they should have.

If everything continues to move forward in this way, there will naturally be no problem.

But now, what they are most worried about is what if Zhou Zheng doesn't cooperate! ?

What if Zhou Zheng doesn't follow the Prime Minister's ideas?!

"As for what you call digging trenches!?"

"But it will only consume our army's energy."

"If Zhou Zheng is smart, he will definitely send spies to investigate. When they see our military camp open, how do you think they will feel?"

"I must think there is a plan, so I dare not act rashly."

"This is what you call the Empty City Strategy in your military tactics."

The Prime Minister was very proud, and there was a sign and movement in his eyes that he was in control of everything.

But in the eyes of many generals, he could only be described in two words: idiot!
