Chapter 1589 It’s all intentional
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
Zhou Zheng's combination of punches directly ignited the fighting spirit of tens of thousands of Zhenbei's new troops, and they roared into the sky.
Looking at this scene, a faint smile finally appeared on Zhou Zheng's face.
He knew that only now would he have a chance to fight to the death with the imperial court's 300,000 troops.
......
"Boss, what if those three hundred people really went to the imperial court?"
After returning to the mansion, the sadness in Zhou Ping's eyes had not dissipated, and he still had many worries in his heart.
After all, they had been holding out in the city for too long, and the imperial court had no idea of the specific situation inside, so they were cautious and did not dare to act rashly.
But once the imperial court knew that there were only tens of thousands of people and that they had experienced internal strife, I am afraid that the imperial court would act with thunder and lightning speed.
"Do you think, given the temperament of the court, they will really give them the surname?"
Zhou Zheng smiled coldly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
In this world, the biggest variable has never been weapons and equipment or elite troops, but human nature. As long as you understand human nature correctly, everything else can be broken through.
The 300,000-strong army was led by the prime minister of the imperial court.
He is suspicious, speculative, cowardly and ambitious by nature.
If these 300 soldiers really went there, I am afraid that what he would care about is not the real information they said, but the suspicion that this is a trick.
"Your Majesty, do you mean that all this was deliberately planned by Your Majesty?"
Xiao Guan quickly heard the hidden meaning in Zhou Zheng's words.
The decisive battle will determine the outcome in one go. The more ambiguity there is, the greater the possibility of causing the greatest damage.
As long as the opponent is paralyzed enough, or even underestimates him enough, Zhou Zheng has a great chance of winning.
"That's right, these three hundred people can only go to the imperial court."
"I would like to see how capable this so-called prime minister is."
Zhou Zheng put down his teacup and spoke slowly. But there was no worry in his words, instead there was a hint of meaning.
If no one goes to the imperial camp, Zhou Zheng will be truly disappointed.
Zhou Zheng’s goal would only be if they went there.
"Boss, you're starting to play dirty tricks." When Zhou Ping saw Zhou Zheng at this time, he was a little unrecognizable for a moment.
He was so worried before, but now it seems that it was completely unnecessary.
"Pass the order down, have all the soldiers prepare themselves, the decisive battle will probably begin soon."
Looking at the afterglow of the sunset, Zhou Zheng's heart sank slightly.
Some things will always come.
......
"General, are you saying that all this is a trap?"
Everything happened just as Zhou Zheng had expected. More than 300 deserters went to the imperial camp and surrendered.
Many imperial soldiers were obviously very excited about this situation, because the more soldiers came, the more it meant that Zhou Zheng could no longer hold on, and there was even an atmosphere of despair among them.
The more this is the case, the more beneficial it is to the court.
Even a very small price can be paid for a great victory.
However, the prime minister couldn't help it after all, and specially invited Lei Tong to ask in a deep voice.
However, Lei Tong's words shocked and even made the prime minister and other generals in the court feel unbelievable.
"Prime Minister and all the gentlemen, don't you think this is a big problem?"
Lei Tong frowned, his expression was solemn, and there was a hint of worry in his voice.
"General Lei, please speak frankly."
Seeing Lei Tong like this, the Prime Minister and others felt their hearts tighten suddenly and their voices became much more serious.
They naturally knew that the more than 300 deserters came from the Zhenbei New Army, but they also knew that Lei Tong's understanding of the entire city was the real understanding.
If there is anyone who truly understands Zhou Zheng among these 300,000 troops, it is only Lei Tong.
This is the important value of the Thunder Copper that was kept by the Prime Minister.
Moreover, during this period of time, Lei Tong had already drawn Zhou Zheng's city defense map. They secretly checked and found that everything was just as Lei Tong described. This undoubtedly further enhanced Lei Tong's status in the prime minister's heart.
As for whether Lei Tong will rebel? !
The Prime Minister never thought about it.
Now, everyone in the world knows that Lei Tong has abandoned Zhou Zheng, and everyone in the world knows that Lei Tong has joined the imperial court. If he were to turn around and surrender to Zhou Zheng, it would be impossible.
A slave of three surnames? !
The infamy in history is not something Lei Tong can afford. To be precise, in the prime minister's opinion, no one would do such a stupid and ignorant thing.
"Based on my understanding of Zhou Zheng, these deserters who came to surrender should be real deserters."
"It is true that they came to surrender, and it is also true what they said."
Lei Tong thought for a while before finally responding seriously.
But such a response made the Prime Minister and others feel unpredictable. If this was the case, it would be a great thing, but why didn't Lei Tong have this attitude just now?
"General Lei, what do you mean?"
The prime minister also lowered his posture at this time. Now that the decisive battle was imminent, he was unwilling to make a big mistake. After all, as long as he won the decisive battle and captured Zhou Zheng alive, even if it was just a corpse, then when he returned to the court, it would be the day for him to change the dynasty and ascend the throne.
With the support of the five great ancient families, the support of public opinion, and the support of all officials in the court, he has secured the throne!
But for some reason, as the time of the decisive battle drew closer, his worries deepened a little. Such a situation obviously made him quite uneasy.
Afraid that there might be some mistakes.
"There are a few points here that I find problematic."
"First, the muskets in the north have long been used up, and the gunpowder depot is under the control of the imperial court."
"So, where did Zhou Zheng's musket come from?"
Zhou Zheng's words instantly made the prime minister break out in a cold sweat, and he even felt extremely unbelievable.
Could it be that Zhou Zheng has another arsenal? !
If this is the case, then even if Zhou Zheng only has 50,000 troops, he is likely to have enough strength to fight against the imperial court's 300,000 troops!
Is it true that I am going to capsize? !
If it were anyone else, he naturally wouldn't believe it, but if it was Zhou Zheng, there was such a miracle in him that the prime minister didn't dare to underestimate Ren He at all.
For a moment, cold sweat broke out.
The prime minister knew very well that if he lost this battle, not only would he lose the throne, but even his own life and property would be in danger.
After all, he didn't believe that the five ancient families would protect him at all costs.
"Secondly, given Zhou Zheng's personality, why would he let them leave alive?"
"Everyone in the world knows that Zhou Zheng is very clear about gratitude and resentment, and is decisive in killing people. He is definitely not a womanizer."
Lei Tong continued his analysis.
This analysis made many people present calm down instantly.
That’s right, this is definitely not Zhou Zheng’s style.
If it was just one or two people, it might make sense, they could sneak away while the army wasn't paying attention. But there were more than 300 people here, such a big target, it was impossible for Zhou Zheng to fail to notice it.
Just these two points are enough to show that this so-called surrender is probably a fraud!
"General Lei, please speak clearly!"
One general couldn't help but bow to Lei Tong. His voice was trembling, and he obviously noticed something unusual and didn't dare to be careless.
After all, the prime minister is only in charge of the central command, but they are the ones who have to rush to the front line, so we must be on guard.
The Prime Minister also cast his gaze on Lei Tong and motioned for him to continue.
"Based on my understanding of Zhou Zheng, there is only one possibility for this situation to occur!"
"What's the possibility?"
"Zhou Zheng did all this on purpose."
What's the meaning? !
Everyone looked at each other, obviously not understanding the meaning.
"Whether it's the musket or letting them go, it's not that Zhou Zheng has the confidence, the strength, or the generosity."
"But he is gambling!"
"Betting on these surrendered troops will affect the Prime Minister's judgment."
Taking a deep breath, Lei Tong continued his analysis.
"They can't have muskets, otherwise I wouldn't have known about it. If they really had muskets, why did they let the women use them?! If they really had muskets, why didn't they dare to take the initiative to attack!? If they really had muskets, why didn't they suppress the mutiny directly when the generals did?!"
"I think they have very few muskets, only a few dozen, and only a hundred rounds of bullets, that's all."
"As long as the imperial court mistakenly believes that they have countless musket bullets, they will not dare to act rashly."
Lei Tong's analysis made everyone agree with it.
"But if the battle line is prolonged, it will not do him any good!"
Some generals still felt puzzled.
"It's very useful. As long as there is enough time, Zhou Zheng will have the opportunity to make a musket again."
"Besides, King Zhou Yong in the south still has an army of 200,000. As long as there is enough time, perhaps they can come back to support us."
"At worst, once the integration of the Yuan Dynasty is completed, there will be power to support Zhou Zheng."
"So, the only thing he has to do is to procrastinate!"
"Drag him to the reinforcements..."
Lei Tong's analysis is told in detail.
Such analysis also made everyone fall into deep thought.
......
Medical report: I completed the reexamination today. The retina has basically been lifted up, and I can barely lift my head. At the same time, the corrected vision is only 0.2, and I can barely see the shadows of objects at close range. But the vision I once had is gone forever.
The doctor said that my vision will recover a little in the next two months.
As for how much it can reach, it all depends on fate.
I can only pray that I am lucky and have a chance to recover my corrected vision to 0.3. This is satisfactory.
Thank you for your concern, I will continue to work hard. I also hope that everyone will continue to take care of their health.
Later on, I will report to you from time to time regarding the recovery of my eyesight.
