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

The third prince led the crowd and became more and more brave as they fought.

In just half a month, Yancheng was surrounded.

In the huge Xiang County, everything seems to be under Zhou Qiao's control.

Even everyone in the rebel army thought they had a chance to win!

Until Zhou Qiao received a letter from Zhou Zheng in Yancheng!

"Your Highness, could it be that Zhou Zheng is afraid?! Wants to surrender!?"

"But thinking about it, the entire Xiang County is under our control. Even if Zhou Zheng has three heads and six arms, he will be unable to fly."

"It's just that your Highness must not be soft-hearted. Throughout the ages, those who achieve great things must be ruthless!"

"That's right, Your Highness is someone who wants to plot the world. There is absolutely no room for womanly kindness at this time!"

Everyone saw that when Zhou Qiao opened the letter, his face became more solemn and even ugly.

Everyone looked at each other and clasped their fists towards Zhou Qiao.

In their view, Zhou Zheng's letter at such a critical moment meant that there was no other possibility except surrender.

The landowners and squires in Xiang County hated Zhou Zheng deeply, especially the new policy introduced by Zhou Zheng. Although it has not yet been implemented, it has made these interest groups deeply disgusted!

Now that the situation has reversed and the initiative is in Zhou Qiao's hands, they naturally don't need to be afraid of Zhou Zheng.

The only thing I'm worried about is that the third prince Zhou Qiao still cares about his old relationship and lets Zhou Zheng go at such a critical moment!

After all, once the news about Xiang County spreads, they will be in real trouble.

"The imperial court knows about the changes in Xiangjun!"

"At this time, troops are being sent to encircle and suppress us!!"

Zhou Qiao's eyes were slightly closed, and even his face looked a little pale.

After hearing what he said, everyone present turned as pale as a dead person, and even some of the timid ones began to have their legs tremble.

They are not afraid of rebellion, but are ready to rebel.

They didn't expect why the imperial court would get the news at such a critical moment! ?

Now Xiang County is not all under the control of Zhou Qiao and others. If the imperial court takes action, they will be attacked from both sides, and the situation will definitely develop in a direction beyond their control.

"Your Highness, this must be a scam!"

"I just want to shake our military morale at this time!"

"If we hadn't been worried about the repeated crossbows on the walls of Yancheng, we would have defeated Yancheng long ago!"

A general spoke in a rough, hoarse voice with disdain on his face.

On the verge of battle, such news came, in his opinion, it must be Zhou Zheng's smoke bomb, in order to delay them as much as possible, and then look for opportunities to break out and escape.

After an analysis, everyone who was still worried at first breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, they still feel a great sense of oppression in their hearts if they really want to confront the imperial court.

"What he said is true!"

Just when everyone thought this was just Zhou Zheng's trick, the third prince shook his head.

Because, among Zhou Zheng’s letters to Zhou Qiao, there were also letters of surrender from the eldest prince and the second prince!

They are all princes, and although they are competing for the right to inherit the throne, they recognize the handwriting clearly.

This is clearly a letter written by Zhou Ting and Zhou Fan!

Even the two of them knew it, and they were afraid that the court had already taken action.

"impossible!"

"All channels between Xiang County and the outside world are under our control."

"The entire Xiang County is now inaccessible and no one can leave except ourselves. No one can pass the news out!"

"Is it possible that there is a traitor among us!?"

A somewhat thin middle-aged man glanced around at everyone with a sinister look on his face.

He has been waiting for ten years for this raising of troops!

Absolutely can not fall short!

If anyone has second thoughts, he will be the first to jump out and kill them!

Unfortunately, after this question, although everyone was somewhat aware of it, everyone spoke with confidence, without any thought or possibility of a traitor.

For a moment, the scene was in a deadlock!

"Don't panic, Your Highness. Anyway, we all plan to rebel and make ourselves king."

"So what if the court finds out!?"

"As long as we can completely control the entire Xiang County and establish ourselves as king, we don't have to worry about the rest!"

Another old man who had gone through many vicissitudes of life did not have much worry on his face, and even looked a little more excited.

Since it is a rebellion, it should be vigorous and attract the attention of the world.

If possible, the best way would be to mobilize various places to rise up.

But Zhou Qiao and others were timid, which made a comeback seem difficult.

Now I just took advantage of an opportunity to completely stop the third prince's thoughts.

These people who followed Zhou Qiao in the beginning will become the founding heroes as long as Zhou Qiao proclaims himself king!

"That's right, Your Highness, we have more than 100,000 mercenaries, and they are all well-trained elites!"

"Even if we face the imperial army, we still have a chance of winning!"

"As long as we firmly occupy Xiang County, we will still be the winner!"

We are all squires and landlords in Xiang County, and we know very well that there is no way out in this matter.

Not to mention the eldest prince and second prince's letter of persuasion to surrender, even with the emperor's eloquent words, it is absolutely impossible for them to turn back!

"Third Highness!"

Seeing Zhou Qiao still looking hesitant, others also looked anxious. ,

During this period, if everyone hadn't feared life and death to attack the city and conquer the territory, how could we have such a good situation now.

But during the whole process, they discovered that Zhou Qiaoyuan was not as powerful as they thought.

When it comes to marching and fighting, Zhou Qiao knows nothing about it.

In terms of boosting morale, Zhou Qiao can't play any role.

In terms of excellent leadership qualities, Zhou Qiao doesn’t even have it.

If it weren't for Zhou Qiao's special status, and the fact that most of the squire and landowners were recruited from the third prince's mansion and placed in Xiang County, this rebel army would have been beyond Zhou Qiao's control.

"Go ahead and capture Yancheng at all costs!"

Finally, Zhou Qiao took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and shouted the order!

At this point, it is absolutely impossible for Zhou Qiao to surrender!

"No matter whether the content in this letter is true or false, Zhou Zheng will die this time!"

Clenching his fists, Zhou Qiao's eyes flashed with coldness and darkness again.

However, these words did not make other people's emotions rise. On the contrary, they looked at Zhou Qiao with a hint of complexity!

Because they followed Zhou Qiao in rebellion, not just to kill Zhou Zheng!

......

at the same time.

Within Yancheng.

On the city wall, all the soldiers were waiting in formation.

There are multiple crossbows all over the city wall, and just one order is enough to fire thousands of them together.

At this time, Yancheng has become one of the few cities in Xiang County that has not yet fallen.

The soldiers looked serious and did not dare to relax at all.

"Prince Prince!"

"Moved!"

"The enemy is attacking!"

As a rapid sound came, the sound of countless drums sounded from all over the city wall.

War begins!
