After hearing this, Gong Yu said, "Thirty thousand men, that's almost all the troops near Beijing. Logically speaking, if Your Majesty needs me, I, Gong Yu, would not mind even if I risk my life and even be crushed to dust."
"But what I'm afraid of now is that once the 30,000 troops near Beijing are withdrawn, then if any problems arise, you two won't have a way to deal with them."
Zhu'er and Han Zhao were a little confused after hearing this.
Zhu'er said: "Sister Gong, you just said, the two of us? Shouldn't it be the three of us?"
Gong Yu smiled and said, "Nowadays, all the capable and battle-hardened generals are fighting with Zhu Yuanzhang in the south. None of the young generals left on our side has the experience of commanding thousands of soldiers."
"I ask myself, compared with Sister Zhou or Zhao Min, I am definitely not as good as her by a long shot, but I can still lead 30,000 troops to the south. At least it is not a big problem for me to defeat others."
Zhu'er and Han Zhao were both very surprised when they heard this.
Zhu'er said: "Sister Gong, do you mean that you will go to Jiangnan to have fun and then let us two guard the door?"
Han Zhao also said: "That's right, Sister Gong, you are going a bit too far. You said that we would advance and retreat together, but it's not good for you to go to Jiangnan alone."
After hearing this, Gong Yu sighed and said, "Alas... I knew you two would think so. My two sisters, do you really think I'm going there for fun?"
"Leading troops to fight is no joke. What's more, these 30,000 soldiers near Beijing are all newly recruited soldiers who have just been recruited and have no combat power at all. If any accident happens, the three of us cannot all be killed together."
"What's more, we have three children, and someone needs to take care of them. I think it's better for me to go there myself. As for you two, you can stay in Beijing."
After hearing this excuse, Zhu'er pouted and said, "No, Zhu Yuanzhang was driven to the southeast coastal area by my brother Wuji. Our mission this time when we go south is just to take over those cities that were abandoned due to the power vacuum. Most of those cities will not have too many soldiers and horses. Even if there are, 30,000 people can take them down. There will be no danger at all."
"In short, don't even think about leaving us two in Beijing. It's time for us to go out and get some fresh air."
Gong Yu was somewhat helpless, and then she could only look at Han Zhao beside her again: "Sister Han, you have three children, one son and two daughters. These are all the blood of His Majesty. His Majesty left the three of us in Beijing, which was also a trust in us."
"If it weren't for these three children, I would have dragged you two along even if you didn't want to go with me."
"But, if both of you go with me, what will happen to the child? The little prince is now the only one who can inherit the Ming Dynasty. If anything happens to him, the three of us will be blamed."
After saying this, Gong Yu gave Han Zhao a look.
To be honest, Han Zhao had long wanted to stop staying in Beijing, but she felt that what Gong Yu said made sense. So, after thinking for a moment, she gritted her teeth and said to Zhu'er, "Sister Zhu'er, I think what Sister Gong said makes sense. It's not a pity for the three of us to die, but we can't let our three children be at risk."
"Let's two stay here. If anything unexpected happens, we can discuss it and come up with a plan to deal with it."
After hearing this, Zhu'er glared at Han Zhao fiercely: "You, which side are you from? If you want to stay, you can stay alone. Anyway, I don't want to stay in this Beijing city anymore."
"I haven't seen my brother Wuji for several months. I miss him so much. If brother Wuji were still alive, I might have a child by now. I should be spending my youth with the person I love. Why should I stay in this remote place?"
After hearing this, Han Zhao gave Zhu'er a fierce look and said, "Sister Zhu'er, is what you said even human language? There's nothing wrong with being with the one you love, but isn't the child of the one you love important?"
Gong Yu quickly joined in, "Zhu'er, just listen to your sister for once. It's good to stay in Beijing so you don't have to travel back and forth. If His Majesty can successfully defeat Zhu Yuanzhang, he will definitely rush back to Beijing without stopping. Even if he doesn't miss you two, he will definitely miss the child."
"You two met His Majesty about the same time I did, probably within a few days. Could it be that you couldn't even bear a few days?"
While speaking, Gong Yu looked at Zhu'er with a lewd look.
Zhu'er, a person with a vulgar heart, is very familiar with this kind of look: "I, I don't mean that. I'm not thinking about those shameful things. Sister Gong, don't look at me with such vulgar eyes."
Gong Yu smiled and said, "Come on, we all know each other. I used to be a very serious person, but it's you who have influenced me to be what I am now."
"I can tell exactly what you are thinking with just one look. There is no point in pretending in front of me. To put it bluntly, you haven't been with His Majesty for too long, and you miss men."
Zhu'er's cheeks turned red, but she then gritted her teeth and said, "Thinking about men, so what? I'm thinking about my own man, what's there to be ashamed of?"
Gong Yu said with a smile: "It's not shameful. What's shameful about thinking about your own man?"
"No matter how much you think about it, you have to see the current situation clearly. Beijing still needs you now, so even if you want to, you have to stay here."
"As for me, I really didn't mean to leave you two here on purpose. It's just that we need to have no one around our three children."
…
Gong Yu finally convinced Zhu'er after much persuasion, but what happened next was enough to give him a headache.
Leading 30,000 troops south again is easy to say, but it is not so easy to do. At present, there are probably only a little over 30,000 troops near Beijing, and most of these troops are new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. Who can guarantee that these new recruits will not mutiny when the time comes to see the real battle.
But now, all these problems were thrown to Gong Yu by Zhang Wuji, or rather, thrown to Gong Yu by Zhao Min. Although Gong Yu was very happy in her heart that she could do something for Zhang Wuji, this joy was still mixed with some sense of forcing someone.
Gong Yu is not afraid of anything else, she is just afraid that she is not doing well enough.
