It’s beautiful. It’s so beautiful.

It was the first time that Chen Youliang and Zhang Dingbian saw Zhao Min without her mask.

Zhao Min smiled contemptuously at the two of them: "Gentlemen, do I look presentable?"

Chen Youliang swallowed his saliva and said: "Witch, who allowed you to grow up like this? With a witch like you, it would be strange if the Yuan Dynasty did not perish."

A witch? Zhao Min laughed heartily.

"I am a witch? If it weren't for me, the Yuan Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago. Which one of you rebels has not suffered a defeat at my hands?"

"It's a pity that the people of my Yuan Dynasty are not united. When I was fighting against you, there were people everywhere who hindered me. Otherwise, I would have destroyed you long ago."

…

When their eyes met, the situation between Zhao Min and Chen Youliang was already tense.

Zhang Dingbian, who was standing by, also placed his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Killing intent was everywhere, and the sword in Zhao Min's hand was already buzzing.

Chen Youliang's eyes also became as ferocious as a poisonous snake.

The hands of the three people have already formed a state of readiness to strike.

At this critical moment, Chen Youliang burst into laughter.

He waved to Zhang Dingbian who was standing beside him.

Zhang Dingbian said somewhat unwillingly: "Prince Han, your skills are also good. We are now two against one, so we still have a chance of winning."

Chen Youliang said: "Forget it, even if you and I join forces, we can't kill this beautiful queen mother. If we are not careful, she might kill us. You and I have 300,000 troops behind us, and we have plenty of time to play with her."

Seeing that Chen Youliang had no intention of fighting him directly, Zhao Min couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Zhao Min still said provocatively: "What, you two men still don't dare to face me, a woman?"

Chen Youliang said: "It's not that I dare not, but I don't want to. Your attainments in martial arts have reached the pinnacle. General Zhang and I cannot kill you even if we join forces. But I have 300,000 soldiers behind me. If you really have the ability, go and compete with my 300,000 soldiers."

"General Zhang, let's go back."

…

Looking at Chen Youliang's back, Zhao Min could only sigh helplessly.

Zhang Dingbian was a brave general, and Chen Youliang was able to become a great hero, so he naturally had some ability.

Although these two people cannot defeat Zhao Min together, Zhao Min cannot stop them unless they want to fight.

…

Chen Youliang returned to his camp, and Zhao Min also returned to the capital city.

Chen Youliang was cautious in employing his troops. If he did not want to fight a decisive battle, no one could force him to do so.

Now Zhao Min can only defend Dadu and wait for the situation to change.

In the car, Duan Zihao hurriedly walked in front of Zhao Min.

He bowed and said, "Empress Dowager, there is no need for you to be here for the time being. You should go back to the imperial city and rest first. With me here, there will be no trouble for the time being."

Zhao Min nodded gently: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Duan. If the situation changes, please send someone to the imperial city to call me at any time."

…

Chen Youliang then divided his 300,000-strong army into three parts and surrounded Dadu.

Surrounded on three sides and with one left, Chen Youliang did not seek a quick victory, nor did he seek to completely annihilate Zhao Min's 100,000-strong army. All he wanted was Dadu. As long as he could take this place, he would be the orthodox of the Central Plains dynasty and the orthodox of all Han people in the world.

Some time ago, when Chen Youliang heard that Zhang Wuji had reached Longcheng, he was a little nervous. If Zhang Wuji took Dadu first, it would not be a good thing for him.

The entire Dadu, except for the north, was surrounded by Chen Youliang.

The reason why Chen Youliang left this gap in the north was that he wanted Zhao Min to give up.

In Chen Youliang's heart, Zhao Min was originally a Mongolian, and retreating to the northern grasslands was her deserved fate.

The moat outside Dadu City was originally used for defense.

But now, this deep and wide moat has become a defense for Chen Youliang.

It would naturally take some effort for Chen Youliang to capture Dadu, but now it is also difficult for Zhao Min to leave the city.

…

Inside the palace, Zhao Min asked Han Yulou, "Master, Chen Youliang will not fight a decisive battle with us. He just wants to wear us down bit by bit. How long can the food and grass for the 100,000 troops in the city last?"

Han Yulou thought for a while and said, "After all, we have made some preparations in advance. The food and grass in the city can last for three or four months."

Zhao Min nodded: "Three or four months, very good, in three or four months, Chen Youliang will definitely reveal his flaws. At that time, we will definitely be able to fight and defeat his 300,000-strong army."

…

Time passed slowly. On the first day that Chen Youliang arrived at Dadu, he was not in a hurry to attack the city because he knew that he could not win easily.

It was not until the next morning, after his 300,000 troops had eaten and drunk their fill, that they began to make some offensive moves.

Countless catapults threw stones of all sizes towards the city wall.

Duan Zihao was very surprised at first, but gradually he understood Chen Youliang's intention.

Duan Zihao thought to himself, "As expected of a great hero, he wants these large and small rubbles to form a staircase under the city so that people can climb up easily. This way, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

…

Chen Youliang only did this one thing during his first five days under the city of Dadu. In five full days, the stones under the city were almost level with the city wall.
