After hearing this, Zhao Linger smiled shyly.
"Young Master, don't talk nonsense. I have never cared about whether he is the crown prince or not."
Zhang Wuji stroked Zhao Linger's belly a few more times: "Sister doesn't care, so is it not okay for me to care?"
"When the Ming Dynasty was first established, there had to be an emperor, so there had to be a crown prince. Fortunately, my sister got pregnant, otherwise, I don't know how long this matter would have troubled me."
Zhao Linger was extremely relieved. She was relieved that she had not misjudged the person.
Although Zhang Wuji is much younger than himself, he still has the stability and responsibility of a mature man.
My own vision, yes.
…
During this period, Zhang Wuji really wanted to spend more time with Zhao Linger, but Zhao Linger never agreed to him on this issue.
Because she didn't want Zhang Wuji to see her bloated appearance.
Even if Zhang Wuji wanted to stay overnight, he had to wait until his body recovered to its original state.
That night, Zhao Linger drove Zhang Wuji into Yu Fei's room.
She also said to Zhang Wuji with a wicked smile: "Young Master, my junior sister is young and has good skills. You don't have to pity her. Just drive her crazy to death."
…
Compared to the romantic life on Zhang Wuji's side, Zhao Min had been standing in front of a map, staring at it blankly for a long time.
Han Yulou placed a small plate of snacks on the table next to Zhao Min.
"Your Majesty, please eat something, be careful not to overwork yourself."
Zhao Min sighed and said, "I can't eat, I really can't eat. My mind is full of thoughts now, will Zhang Wuji join forces with the people of Jiangnan to deal with me in the future."
Han Yulou said: "There is such a possibility, but it is not very big."
"Zhang Wuji has already proclaimed himself emperor. Even if he is willing to cooperate with the forces in Jiangnan, how will his identity be changed?"
"As the emperor or as an ally?"
Zhao Min shook her head: "Identity is not important. Zhang Wuji has already proclaimed himself emperor, and I have also proclaimed myself emperor. If you count it this way, the people in Jiangnan will probably be proclaimed emperor soon as well."
"I have always been worried that Chen Youliang would be defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang. In fact, there is another important reason."
"That was before Zhu Yuanzhang. After all, he was a member of the Ming Cult. If he wanted to get in touch with Zhang Wuji, it would be easy."
Han Yulou said disdainfully: "Zhang Wuji and Zhu Yuanzhang are not fools. They know better than anyone else that there can only be one emperor in the future."
"Even if they can unite now, they will eventually come to blows."
Zhao Min sighed: "Master is right. Right now, I am about to attack Zhang Wuji. From Dadu to Zhang Wuji's Hexi, the battle line is really too long."
"If someone stabs me in the back, my army of hundreds of thousands will be in danger of being destroyed."
After thinking for a moment, Han Yulou pointed to the location of Xuzhou.
"Your Majesty, you are about to conquer Zhang Wuji, so you really need to be absolutely sure that nothing goes wrong."
"From Dadu to Longcheng, we have built more than a dozen fortresses, so there shouldn't be any problems."
"But from Longcheng to the entire Hexi, we still need to be on high alert. With hundreds of thousands of troops fighting outside, there must not be any mistakes."
"Xuzhou is the gateway to Longcheng, and at the same time, it is one of the necessary routes for people from Jiangnan to go north."
"Why not send a detachment to recapture Xuzhou first? This way, you can solve your worries and temporarily slow down the pace of people from the south of the Yangtze River to the north."
"No matter who will take control of Jiangnan in the end, as long as you wipe out Zhang Wuji, you can go south from Xuzhou on your way back, and then have a decisive battle with the rebels in Jiangnan."
Zhao Min smiled slightly: "Master, you and I are thinking the same thing again. I want to wipe out not only Zhang Wuji, but also the rebels in Jiangnan. Now, we really need a perfect plan. Taking back Xuzhou first is indeed a good move."
Han Yulou smiled and said: "Your Majesty's best move was to give up Jiangnan."
"There are already countless rebels in Jiangnan. If we try to wipe them out one by one, it will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but also have little effect."
"Why not wait until the rebels in Jiangnan fight among themselves and only one person is left? Then we can have a decisive battle with them. One battle can decide the outcome."
Zhao Min smiled and said: "This is all thanks to Master, who helped me make up my mind. Fortunately, I listened to your advice at the beginning. Otherwise, even now, I might be beheaded."
Han Yulou shook his head: "Everything is due to your Majesty's courage and has nothing to do with me, an old slave."
"I just don't know if you have chosen the generals to conquer Xuzhou?"
Zhao Min nodded: "Send a message to Duan Zihao and Mu Liangha to enter the palace."
That night, Duan Zihao and Mu Liangha were recruited into the palace by Zhao Min.
…
After meeting Duan Zihao, Zhao Min said to him directly: "General Duan, I will be going to attack Zhang Wuji soon."
"The army has traveled thousands of miles and cannot afford to be careless. From Dadu to Longcheng, I have built more than a dozen fortresses that can be used for attack or defense."
"During this period, there is absolutely no risk."
"But it's hard to say about the entire Hexi region from Longcheng to Zhang Wuji."
"The war in Jiangnan is almost over."
"I'm afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang are about to have a decisive battle. In order to prevent the survivor from taking advantage of the situation and heading north, I plan to take Xuzhou first."
Duan Zihao didn't waste any words, he just simply said: "Your Majesty is wise."
Zhao Min smiled and said: "General Duan, I plan to let you go ahead and take Xuzhou. How many troops do you need?"
Duan Zihao hesitated for a moment: "Your Majesty, although Xuzhou is only a state, it is also Zhang Shicheng's last territory."
"In this regard, Zhang Shicheng will fight to the death."
"And you want to conquer Zhang Wuji during this period, so it is better to fight a quick battle in Xuzhou."
"With 150,000 soldiers and horses, I can take Xuzhou in half a month."
Zhao Min smiled slightly: "It's up to you, General Duan. You have full authority to mobilize 150,000 troops."
"Muliangha will be your deputy general."
"After General Duan takes Xuzhou, let Muliangha guard Xuzhou and leave him 50,000 soldiers. You lead the rest of the soldiers and meet me under Longcheng."
Duan Zihao quickly said: "I will obey your majesty's order. I will mobilize the troops now and set off tomorrow morning."
Zhao Min smiled and nodded, then he turned his gaze to Mu Liangha standing beside him.
"Muliangha, Xuzhou is a place that is fought for by military strategists, but even such a place was lost in your hands."
"Today, I will give you another chance. After taking Xuzhou, you will still be the defender of Xuzhou."
"If we lose Xuzhou again, we will be executed without mercy."
