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

The drums sounded thunderous and powerful.

Zhou Zheng stood on his horse with his sword drawn, listening to the rumbling drumbeats coming from behind him, and countless complex thoughts surged in his eyes.

"In this life, I will definitely eradicate the aristocratic families and seek benefits for the people of the world!"

Zhou Zheng muttered to himself with a stern face, and his firm words were full of strong fighting spirit.

And these words also reached Zhou Ping who was beside him.

He knew better than anyone that Zhou Zheng had never been a warlike person, but there were some battles that had to be fought and some things that had to be done.

There are always people saying that Zhou Zheng is ambitious and warlike, but little do they know that the most benevolent person is not benevolent, and that war can stop war!

In the chaotic times of war, countless people were killed and their bodies were scattered all over the world.

But Zhou Zheng and his companions were never afraid of death, nor of losing. Instead, they were afraid that the world would not change without them.

In this cannibalistic world, for countless years, people have long been accustomed to being enslaved and oppressed. It seems that they were not born to be free, and they seem to have been born to serve those high-ranking aristocratic families.

But this world shouldn't be like this.

If it weren't for the common people, how could the aristocratic families achieve such success and luxury?!

But in the eyes of these aristocratic families, the common people are nothing but pariahs, nothing but ants, and dispensable objects of exploitation.

This phenomenon should not continue forever.

Few people understood the path Zhou Zheng took, and many people even disagreed with it. Even Zhou Ping once thought that Zhou Zheng was useless.

Isn't it good to be an emperor?

Riches and glory, ruling the country, these are what many people dream of.

But Zhou Zheng doesn't care about these.

It was not until this moment that Zhou Ping perhaps truly understood Zhou Zheng's heart, that is, he had never truly acted purely for himself, and had always taken the people of the world as his responsibility. This required a very broad mind.

Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the living people, carry on the unique teachings of the past saints, and create peace for all generations!

How many scholars say this sentence every day, and how many scholars regard it as their life ambition.

However, how many people actually put it into action, and how many people actually practice such a goal? !

Most people are just talking big and pretending.

Only Zhou Zheng persisted unswervingly, using everything he had, including wealth, power, the throne and even his own life, as a price.

When his eyes fell on Zhou Zheng, who was about the same age as him but had a firm gaze, Zhou Ping's heart trembled.

He knew very well that what he followed was not Zhou Zheng as a person, but the soul within his body, his great ambitions, and his ideal of changing his fate.

Even if it seems unrealistic, or even seems like a pipe dream to many people.

But Zhou Ping saw in Zhou Zheng the stubbornness and madness of doing something even though he knew it was impossible.

People always need to live for something.

This kind of thing should not be just about money and power, nor should it be just about fame and fortune, but should be a kind of persistence, a kind of belief, and an unwillingness to break everything in this world!

Only in this way can you prove that you are a living person, a person who is distinct to the core.

Unfortunately, there are some things that, once you take on the responsibility to do them, you have to pay a price.

The price of this kind of thing even exceeds life, and it will lead to eternal scorn and discussion.

However, Zhou Ping did not see any hesitation or deliberation in Zhou Zheng. Instead, he moved forward courageously and never regretted it!

"Time will prove everything."

“History will prove everything.”

As if seeing through the complexity in Zhou Ping's heart, Zhou Zheng smiled heartily.

Some things need no explanation, and there's no need for explanation. Just move forward and follow your heart. As for the rest, leave it to time and history, and future generations will discuss it.

If you want to win, you must win completely!

If you want to lose, you must lose clearly!

Life is like this, it is enjoyable!

The drums roared, and the oppressive atmosphere became more and more obvious. The horses on both sides seemed to feel the madness of the upcoming bloody battle and kept neighing.

The soldiers of each army held their weapons tightly in their hands, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

"Prime Minister, there are still three miles to go!"

"Do you want to..."

At the imperial court, a general couldn't help but speak to the prime minister. A distance of three miles was enough for them to charge forward. Three hundred thousand men would rush forward, without any formations or skills, simply rolling down and devouring the fifty thousand Northern Guard troops.

Before the battle, they had thought of countless formations and even worried about Zhou Zheng's many tactics.

But who could have imagined that what was finally presented was such a simple and direct, primitive and most direct brutal battle, which made the 300,000-strong army of the imperial court even more filled with a strong sense of victory.

One for one, they all make a huge profit!

Moreover, everyone knew that once the casualty ratio reached 20 percent, the army would be defeated.

Even if the Zhenbei Army is elite, how long can they hold out?

Is the casualty ratio forty or fifty percent?

However, none of this matters.

"No need, I said, let them rush over!"

"I must not only win, but I must win completely. I must annihilate them completely and leave no one alive."

The Prime Minister smiled coldly at this time. His original panic and nervousness had long disappeared, replaced by madness and excitement.

If he was still a little panicked and uncertain before the battle, he no longer had any worries when Zhou Zheng's army was only three miles away from them.

Because he not only saw Zhou Zheng, he also saw red ribbons tied around the arms of some shadows in the army behind Zhou Zheng.

This ribbon is under the armor. It is so subtle that it is not easily noticed, but it is real.

The most important thing is that he saw far more than one red filament. It seemed that there were many, many, thousands of them!

You know, the fifth lord of the ancient family had told him that they had already let the aristocratic families place elite troops in the Zhenbei Army in order to play a decisive role at the critical moment.

How many aristocratic families are there in the Great Zhou?!

The prime minister didn't know, but he was sure of one thing: it was a lot, a lot.

There are countless elites among them.

These elites are all wearing red ribbons at this time, so that they can suddenly turn against us during the decisive battle!

The huge trauma caused to Zhou Zheng is enough to be fatal!

At that time, what was the casualty rate?!

Zhou Zheng’s people simply couldn’t tell who was the enemy and who was the friend!

You don't even need to do anything yourself, they will panic!

The more this is the case, the more the Prime Minister should not panic, and must not act rashly.

Because he absolutely cannot let Zhou Zheng notice anything unusual at this time, he must make him let down his guard.

After all, Zhou Zheng has too many tricks up his sleeve and is very capable. If he is exposed now and he realizes that there are many of his people inside, then Zhou Zheng is very likely to escape at the first opportunity.

If he escapes, what's the point of winning this so-called decisive battle?

So, the Prime Minister has to wait!

"remember!"

"If the other party charges, just put them in!"

"Let the army surround them and then start strangling them!"

This is the Prime Minister's order and also the Prime Minister's battle plan.

For a moment, the generals around were a little confused.

But everyone knows that this battle cannot be lost, and there is no possibility of losing.

Everyone knows that they must never disobey the Prime Minister.

So, no one objects!

If Huang Cheng at the back of the camp knew about this scene, he would probably call him an idiot on the spot.

If the imperial court uses such people as generals, it can only be said that the Great Zhou Dynasty will perish!

And those foolish generals are even more ignorant and incompetent!

Unfortunately, all of this is just if.

At this time, Huang Cheng was still with Lei Tong, looking forward to the news of victory in the decisive battle in the evening.

What he didn't know was that the news he received couldn't possibly be about a triumph.

When the sound of the drums reached its peak, the fighting spirit in Zhou Zheng's eyes was finally released completely.

He turned around, looked at the numerous soldiers, then raised his head and roared loudly: "Soldiers, are you willing to follow me in a life-and-death battle?!"

"willing!"

"willing!"

"willing!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers under his command spoke in unison.

The huge roar, combined with the sound of drums, reached the sky and shocked the whole world!

War begins!
