The distance between Longcheng and Dadu is only about 500 miles, and there is only Zhigu Village in between.
Zhao Min originally wanted to go and come back quickly to deal with these damn royal relatives.
But she still miscalculated. It was impossible to go there and come back quickly because this group of people who couldn't even ride a horse walked too slowly.
There are even quite a few older people who are already sitting on the ground and lying down.
Zhao Min did not want to let this group of people die directly at her hands. As long as they did not escape halfway, she would not kill them. As long as this group of people could be driven to Zhang Wuji's Dragon City, Zhao Min would carry them there even if she had to order others to carry them.
This time, the person who followed Zhao Min to the battle and protected her was Han Yulou.
Because at this time, Duan Zihao had already gone to Zhigu Village two days ago to strengthen the defense.
Zhao Min no longer had a top master by her side, and Han Yulou was worried about her safety, so this time, he insisted on following her no matter what.
Although Zhao Min was a little anxious at this time, she was still very comfortable.
She took off her shoes and lay lazily on the pillow inside the dragon sedan.
Drinking a glass of good wine and eating a grape, I feel so much happier than those soldiers riding on horseback.
But Han Yulou, who was standing aside, still had some doubts.
He couldn't help but whisper to Zhao Min again: "Queen Dowager, are you really going to do this?"
If we do this, those princes outside the Great Wall who have some real power will probably complain.
Zhao Min stretched lazily helplessly: "My master, you overestimate those crappy princes outside the pass. If they really had some courage, they should have led their troops into the pass ten or twenty years ago."
Han Yulou said: "Empress Dowager, I am only thinking about your future. No matter what, it is always right to leave a way out."
Zhao Min said indifferently: "A way out? Only the weak need a way out. I, Zhao Min, am the empress dowager of the Yuan Dynasty today. It won't be long before I will become the empress of the Yuan Dynasty."
"In my entire life, whether I live or die, I will never set foot on the grasslands outside the Great Wall."
"As long as I don't go back to the grassland outside the Great Wall, the people there can't threaten me. Even if they lead troops into the Great Wall in anger because of this, they will definitely go to fight Zhang Wuji. If they come to fight me, that would be too unreasonable."
"No matter how fucked up the Mongolians are now, they won't fight among themselves."
…
After hearing this, Han Yulou seemed to understand something.
He asked cautiously: "Empress Dowager, do you want to use thousands of lives to force those princes outside the pass to lead their troops south?"
"Those princes outside the pass have more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in their hands. If they enter the pass, it may be difficult for you to get rid of them."
"It's too big to be cut off?" Zhao Min laughed.
"I'm just afraid that they don't have the courage to enter the pass. If they really have the ability, they can just kill me, the evil queen of Cholera Chaogang. If they don't have the ability, I will make sure they never come back."
Han Yulou was shocked.
"Empress Dowager, could it be that you are interested in the more than 200,000 soldiers and horses in their hands?"
Only then did Zhao Min sigh helplessly.
"Master, you know the current situation."
"Although I have returned victorious every time I went on an expedition in the past two years, in reality, I have not achieved any useful results."
"The rebel kings in various places are getting bigger and bigger. The two people who give me the most headaches right now are...
"One of them is Zhang Wuji. It wasn't long since the Battle of Guangmingding, but Zhang Wuji was able to gather 70,000 to 80,000 troops and occupied the two important cities of Xuzhou and Longcheng."
"This man is the leader of the Ming Cult, and he has many experts under his command. The most hateful thing is that his wisdom and skills are not inferior to mine."
"If we want to destroy Zhang Wuji, I think we will need at least 150,000 soldiers and horses, but I am afraid that I cannot gather so many soldiers in a short time."
"I am just a little bit resentful now. I hate why I didn't fight to the death to destroy him during the last expedition, but instead fought with Zhang Shicheng and Guo Zixing to a bloody end."
"In the end, that damn Zhang Wuji took advantage of the opportunity."
"The second person who gave me a headache was Chen Youliang."
"This Chen Youliang is also a first-class hero. Ever since he suffered a defeat at my hands two years ago, he has not made any major moves. Instead, he has started to bide his time."
"Chen Youliang now probably has nearly 400,000 mercenaries. If he goes crazy one day and wants to march his troops north, I find it terrifying just thinking about it."
"As for the remaining Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang, they are not easy to deal with. Not long ago, when I destroyed Guo Zixing, I thought of taking advantage of the situation to destroy Zhu Yuanzhang. Unfortunately, the bastard Zhang Wuji stabbed me in the back, forcing me to retreat as soon as possible."
After saying this, Zhao Min couldn't help but sigh: "It's a headache, Master, I wish I was born ten years earlier."
Looking at Zhao Min's appearance, Han Yulou felt even more distressed.
After all, the Empress Dowager of the Yuan Dynasty in front of him was his only disciple. If possible, he would have wanted to die for Zhao Min.
…
Zhao Min's 20,000 troops advanced slowly towards Longcheng.
It was not until five days later that they arrived, more than a hundred miles away from Longcheng.
Along the way, Zhao Min kept cursing the royal relatives, saying that they were walking too slowly.
Zhao Min even cursed Zhang Wuji several times in her heart, "Damn it, damn Zhang Wuji, where did your ability to sneak attack Xuzhou and Longcheng go?"
"My 20,000 people are moving so slowly, I guess you should have received the news a few days ago."
"Why don't you send troops to launch a sneak attack? If you come to attack me, I will never fight to the death and will definitely turn around and run away..."
…
Dragon City.
Zhang Wuji had already ordered his men to prepare two fast horses.
The sun had just risen, and before Zhou Zhiruo got up, Zhang Wuji broke into her room.
Looking at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her, Zhou Zhiruo was a little surprised.
She said cautiously: "Didn't you spend the night in Miss Han's room last night? Why, you don't want it again so early in the morning, do you?"
Zhou Zhiruo wrapped the quilt tightly around herself several times.
"It's absolutely not possible now. If you want it, you have to wait until night. It's broad daylight now. I, I swear to die rather than give in."
Looking at Zhou Zhiruo's appearance, Zhang Wuji just smiled helplessly.
"Zhiruo, I just like the way you are. You want it in your heart, but you say you will never give in."
"The more you resist, the happier I am."
Then, Zhang Wuji pulled the quilt off her.
