Zhang Yuxiao looked at Zhao Min's furious expression and felt that something bad was about to happen.
He raised the bun in his hand to Zhao Min and said in a squeaking voice, "Big sister, do you want to eat buns?"
Zhao Min said: "Eat, eat something the hell."
She raised her hand and slapped Zhang Yuxiao on the butt.
Although Zhao Min didn't dare to use much strength, she still beat the two-year-old Zhang Yuxiao so hard that he cried loudly.
Zhang Yuxiao cried and shouted loudly: "Sister, sister is a bad person."
Then he bit Zhao Min's calf.
Zhao Min was extremely angry. She couldn't believe that the little brat in front of her dared to fight back, or even talk back.
Zhao Min said angrily: "You little bastard, you, you dare to bite me, do you know who I am?"
"Even your father didn't dare to bite me, who do you think you are?"
"Open your mouth quickly. I'll count to three. If you don't open your mouth, I'm going to chop you into bun stuffing tonight."
"One, two..."
Before Zhao Min counted to three, Xiao Yuxiao had already opened his mouth. He looked at Zhao Min with his big tearful eyes, no longer crying or biting, but just looked at her coldly.
Zhao Min raised her hand, wanting to slap the child hard on the face, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to do it.
At this moment, the girl who pretended to be Zhao Min last night hurriedly hugged Zhang Yuxiao in her arms. She whispered, "Don't be afraid, little guy. What happens between adults will not affect you."
After saying this, the girl still looked at Zhao Min cautiously.
Zhao Min said: "Why did you come just now? Where were you hiding just now? You made me take my anger out on a little kid. It's so embarrassing. Next time I beat this kid, please stop me. If I can't help but beat him to death, you will suffer too."
The girl smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, although you and Zhang Wuji are in different camps, you are not a bad person, you are just in different camps."
"I have a feeling you won't kill this kid."
Zhao Min glared at the girl coldly: "As if you know me so well."
Then she left angrily.
When the girl saw Zhao Min leave, she hurriedly said to Xiao Yuxiao: "Don't be afraid, little guy. The sister just now was just joking with you."
"She hit you, and you bit her, so we won't suffer any loss."
Zhao Min had not walked far yet, and she heard everything the girl said. However, although Zhao Min heard it, she did not respond.
After all, it was really beneath her dignity for her, the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty, to compete with a two-year-old kid.
…
That afternoon, Zhao Min called all her generals, both big and small, to her side in a spacious place.
She had already told all the generals present the news that Zhang Wuji had repelled Zhu Yuanzhang.
However, all these generals were surprised.
Almost everyone thought that Zhang Wuji should have died at the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang. No one would have thought that Zhang Wuji actually had the strength to repel Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, this is something that even Zhao Min has never done.
The generals present discussed the matter for more than half an hour.
Some people said that Zhang Wuji had just fought a fierce battle with Zhu Yuanzhang, and he would not have the energy to return to Hexi to rescue in the short term, so for now, they should continue to sweep Hexi. Others said that Zhang Wuji would definitely return to rescue, so they should temporarily wait in Jinyang for a decisive battle with Zhang Wuji.
In Zhao Min's eyes, these words were all nonsense and could not solve any substantive problems.
After a long time, after Zhao Min had heard enough of their argument, she whispered, "Stop arguing. It's been an hour. I'm getting a headache just listening to you arguing here."
After Zhao Min finished speaking, none of the generals present dared to make a sound.
Zhao Min's reputation among the Yuan Dynasty soldiers was already very high, and after the Battle of Jinyang, her reputation reached its peak.
Zhao Min's heroic appearance in the battle last night has been completely engraved in the hearts of all Yuan army soldiers.
Let’s not talk about what happened after the city was broken. Before the city was broken, Zhao Min, with just a sword, killed hundreds of people on the city wall south of Jinyang. She stood on the wall alone for nearly two quarters of an hour.
This is something that even gods might not be able to do, but Zhao Min actually did it.
…
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Min turned her attention to Wang Baobao.
"General Wang, I have a headache now. What do you think we should do now?"
After thinking for a while, Wang Baobao said, "The current situation is a mess. Our territory and Zhang Wuji's territory are intertwined, which is indeed a bit tricky."
"However, I still believe that no matter what, we should first take over the Hexi area."
"As long as we take over Hexi, we will at least have a strategic guarantee. With this fertile land, we will be more relaxed in the logistical supply of future wars. Otherwise, our troops will only become fewer and fewer. This kind of constant consumption of resources is really not a long-term solution."
After Zhao Min sighed, she used her delicate hands to gently rub her temples a few times.
After a moment, Zhao Min said: "Sweeping Hexi is indeed an urgent matter, but I am a little afraid that if Zhang Wuji returns to rescue, we will be in a situation of being attacked from both sides again."
"This place is no longer like Dadu. When we were in Dadu, we were attacked from both sides by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Wuji. I could still give up Dadu."
"But this is Hexi. We are surrounded by Zhang Wuji's men on both sides. I'm afraid any conspiracy or trick will not work."
Although all the people present were loyal and brave men who dared to fight and kill, they found it difficult to come up with a good solution for such macro-strategic issues.
After another long silence, Wang Baobao spoke to Zhao Min again, "Your Majesty, how about we have a decisive battle with Zhang Wuji."
"In last night's battle, our soldiers suffered about 40,000 casualties. Now, there are still about 140,000 combat-ready soldiers in the entire army. Even if Zhang Wuji returns to rescue, he will definitely leave a large number of troops in Dadu."
"According to my humble calculations, if Zhang Wuji returns to rescue, he will only lead tens of thousands of cavalrymen at most, and he will definitely cross the grassland again. By the time he reaches Jinyang, his men and horses will be exhausted."
"Our morale is high now, and we still have plenty of troops. This may be the only time we have an absolute advantage. We must not miss this opportunity. It is the best time for a decisive battle."
