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

Five thousand generals guarding the north, led by Lei Tong, quietly headed towards the place where the imperial court stationed 300,000 troops.

Zhou Zheng personally led the King of Zhenbei and Zhou Ping and others to see them off.

No one spoke, but everyone who was looking at Lei Tong's figure had tears in their eyes.

They thought about stopping Lei Tong from doing this countless times, but in the end no one really did it.

With an army of 300,000 and thousands of spies hidden in the Zhenbei Army, they have no chance of winning this battle even with the support of muskets.

So, that's all they can do.

Even though he knew the price would be the annihilation of the entire army, or Lei Tong's death without a burial place, so what? !

Not to mention that the person who stood up at this time was Lei Tong, even if it was Zhou Ping, he would not even glance at him.

It was not until thousands of people completely disappeared from their sight that everyone could no longer control their emotions.

They knew that this might be the last time they would see Lei Tong.

"I am lucky to have met you. I have no regrets in my life!"

Countless scenes of his acquaintance with Lei Tong flashed through Zhou Zheng’s mind.

He risked his own life to protect himself, and never gave up despite the many hardships along the way.

It can be said that Lei Tong, Shi Sui and Yan Pan have long been Zhou Zheng's right-hand men and his life-long confidants.

He had thought about it countless times that once the world was settled, he would promise these people countless wealth and glory, so that they would never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

But now it seems that everything may not be possible.

"If you come back alive, everything will be fine."

"If you die in the enemy camp, I will definitely bury those 300,000 people with you!"

With his fists clenched tightly, an extremely strong murderous intent roared out from Zhou Zheng's body.

A cold aura filled the air, and the feeling of oppression was so strong that it made everyone's soul tremble.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Zheng. They didn't say anything, but everyone's eyes became determined.

Because they knew that what Zhou Zheng said just now was not groundless, nor was it pretentious or hypocritical, but he meant it sincerely.

They had no doubt at all how Zhou Zheng would go berserk if something unexpected happened to Lei Tong!

"Boss, go back."

"Leave the rest to Lei Tong."

Zhou Ping was the first to calm himself down. He stood beside Zhou Zheng and gave gentle suggestions.

But this time, Zhou Zheng was unusually silent.

Instead, it stood there like a sculpture.

Until the last rays of sunset faded between heaven and earth, and until the night wind blew quietly, he closed his eyes, sighed slightly, and turned away.

......

The place where the imperial army is stationed.

Located on a flat land, the 300,000-strong army had already started cooking, with smoke rising into the air.

Although they were only a few dozen miles away from Zhou Zheng, the 300,000-strong army did not seem to be panicked at all. They were quite comfortable and did not feel any sense of urgency.

From time to time, one could see the armies fighting each other. It was obvious that they had already believed that they had already secured victory in this so-called decisive battle.

This scene was not only evident among the soldiers, but also between the generals.

At the very center of the military tent is the commander-in-chief’s position, which is also the position where the current prime minister commands.

At this time, the place was filled with singing and dancing, and people were toasting each other, making it extremely lively.

Even though they were in a military camp and even though a great war was approaching, there was no sign of panic at all. Instead, it was as prosperous as in Kyoto.

In fact, it is even better than in Kyoto.

The singers here are charming, the piano music here is enchanting, it is not an exaggeration to say that one can get drunk and live a life of debauchery here.

At this time, the main generals of the court gathered here, feeling at ease, appreciating the beautiful scenery and enjoying the comfort at this moment.

Of course, what is more important is that everyone flatters the prime minister from time to time.

At this time, many generals had drunk a lot of wine, and their words became less cautious than before, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe them as vulgar.

But all his words were flattering to the Prime Minister.

What's more, some people directly called the prime minister the savior of the Great Zhou and the common ruler of the world!

Calling him the savior of the Great Zhou means that the prime minister has the ability to stabilize the Great Zhou in these chaotic times.

But calling him the common ruler of the world has already made its meaning quite clear.

In their words, the Prime Minister has the ambition of a roc and the talent of a swan. How can a mere Great Zhou satisfy the Prime Minister? !

The Great Zhou, the Great Xia, and the Great Yuan have coexisted on this land for too long, and they should have achieved unification long ago.

Looking around the world, only the current prime minister has such ability and opportunity.

It has to be said that such flattery is a fatal attraction to the prime minister.

He laughed out loud, his mouth cracked, and his eyes were full of longing for the future.

"That's right!"

"As long as the war is over and the Great Zhou changes its name, then the world will definitely be mine in the future!"

The prime minister thought to himself, but his heart was already burning with anger.

The feeling of being the center of attention made them want to smash the cup as a signal and put on the dragon robe.

Fortunately, he was not completely drunk yet. He knew that this matter would have to wait until the decisive battle was won!

It would only take a few days, he could afford to wait.

"Master Prime Minister!"

In this extremely harmonious scene, an urgent voice interrupted the luxury.

The one who spoke was the general this time, Huang Cheng.

The voice was very urgent, even like rolling thunder, which suddenly fell, and for a moment, it made the entire military tent much quieter.

The generals who were holding up their glasses were also stunned, then put away their glasses and looked at this man.

Even the prime minister was a little surprised.

Among these generals who went to the battle, most of them were very discerning and wanted to use all the beautiful words they had learned throughout their lives on the prime minister.

The only exception is Huang Cheng.

He is a man of few words, so it is quite difficult for him to even say something nice, let alone flattery.

But unfortunately, he does have some abilities and skills in marching and fighting, otherwise he would not have been kept by the Prime Minister until now.

However, his behavior at this time made the prime minister a little confused.

But she still narrowed her eyes slightly and motioned for him to speak.

After all, in the Prime Minister's opinion, the biggest possibility for Huang Cheng at this moment was that he was praising him.

Otherwise, after the war, there will be no time and opportunity to flatter.

Therefore, seizing the present moment is the only thing he can do.

However, the prime minister was calm and composed at this time, and he claimed to be a magnanimous man.

As long as Huang Cheng said something pleasing to his ears now, he would forgive him for the past and even give him a good official position after he ascended the throne in the future.

You know, what’s the point of marching and fighting?

If you want to get involved in this business, your background is what matters!

The world of martial arts has never been about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and worldly wisdom.

Therefore, in the Prime Minister's opinion, there is a possibility that Huang Cheng will become enlightened.

Of course, once you get the idea, everything will be easy.

As long as he expresses his stance now, I can give him a chance to stay and work for me with my magnanimity.

As for the other generals in the military tent at this time, their expressions kept changing.

What they least want is Huang Cheng to stand up.

You know, Huang Cheng does have some means. If he really gets the Prime Minister's approval, other people will have fewer opportunities in the future.

Unfortunately, under such circumstances, they dared not speak loudly.

"Prime Minister, the decisive battle with Zhou Zheng will begin soon."

"The troops are lax now as we are setting up camp. If we don't deal with it in time, I'm afraid..."

Just when everyone thought that Huang Cheng wanted to flatter the prime minister, they discovered that Huang Cheng had no such idea at all.

His words made the prime minister, who was originally in high spirits, look gloomy in an instant.

The gloomy eyes looked at Huang Cheng with dissatisfaction and disappointment!

You, in this situation, say such words.

"What will happen?!"

Trying hard to suppress his dissatisfaction, the prime minister asked loudly.

"I'm afraid the enemy will attack at night."

"When the time comes, it will be troublesome."

Even though he clearly felt the prime minister's anger, Huang Cheng couldn't help but continue to explain.

This is not setting up camp at all.

This is clearly a sitting duck.

He had tried to put it as tactfully as possible. As long as the discipline of the soldiers was strengthened and everyone was made more vigilant, the 300,000-strong army would be able to hold out even if there was a real enemy attack.

But, unfortunately, he mistakenly underestimated the prime minister's temperament.
