Chapter 685 It’s time for the next step



Faced with Zhao Linger's shameless behavior, Zhou Zhiruo had no other expression on her face except contempt.

But Yang Buhui just blushed, not knowing what to say. The key point was that she couldn't say anything. After all, although she was a newcomer, she had experienced what was going to happen between Zhao Linger and Zhang Wuji countless times.

Let’s talk about Wei Xiangjun at the moment. Although she has not experienced that kind of thing yet, in the recent period of time, she has perfectly understood the mystery from Yang Buhui’s description.

Therefore, a blush appeared on Wei Xiangjun's cheeks.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Zhou Zhiruo inexplicably felt a sense of displeasure.

During the day today, Zhang Wuji had just apologized to Zhou Zhiruo for his fickleness and lust, but just a few hours later, Zhang Wuji could no longer hold back.

Coupled with the expressions on the two girls' faces, Zhou Zhiruo felt even more unhappy.

Zhou Zhiruo took a deep breath and looked at them both coldly: "You two little girls, why are you blushing?"

"Do you want to do that kind of thing too?"

Yang Buhui quickly said: "Sister Zhou, I, I don't want to do what you said."

"Besides, it would be so embarrassing if three of us were together."

Zhou Zhiruo was speechless after hearing this.

Wei Xiangjun also quickly said: "Sister Zhou, when we were in Jinyang, you were the only one who didn't bully me. Therefore, I have always treated you as my real sister. I will not do that kind of thing unless you agree."

A moment later, the lingering sound from Zhao Linger's mouth reached the ears of Zhou Zhiruo and others.

This time, even the usually cold Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but blush.

Zhou Zhiruo was so angry that she threw the chopsticks in her hand aside: "This is too outrageous, she doesn't behave like a queen at all."

"Why do you have to scream so loudly?"

Zhou Zhiruo left angrily, and after seeing her leave, Yang Buhui and Wei Xiangjun suddenly felt a sense of relief.

After the two of them smiled at each other, Yang Buhui said jokingly: "Sister Zhou is hard on the outside but soft on the inside. In fact, if it were her, she would probably scream just as loudly."

Wei Xiangjun smiled and said, "Sister Yang, having said that, we still have to be careful when discussing this kind of topic. Sister Zhou is thin-skinned and can't stand us talking about these things."

"If she knew that we had eavesdropped on her, we would definitely be severely punished."

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, another month had passed.

During this month, Zhang Wuji's life was relatively comfortable, but Zhao Min's life became increasingly difficult.

With an army of over one hundred thousand soldiers isolated outside, it is impossible to feed over one hundred thousand mouths with the strength of just one city.

She originally wanted to defend instead of attack, let Zhang Wuji attack, and then use her own military advantage to annihilate him.

Unfortunately, Zhang Wuji's inaction made her feel at a loss.

Another day, Wang Baobao came to Zhao Min with a little nervousness.

"Your Majesty, there is not much food left in the city. If we only have two meals a day, it can only last for a month at most."

Zhao Min nodded without surprise: "I am surprised that Jinyang's food supplies can last until today."

"If Yang Xiao had not fled in such a hurry that he forgot to burn the food supplies in the city, our army of more than one hundred thousand would have starved to death long ago."

Wang Baobao sighed and said, "That's true. I wonder what your Majesty's plans are for the next step."

Zhao Min sighed and said, "I thought I had found Zhang Wuji's weak spot."

"With this victory in Jinyang, I can force Zhang Wuji to come to me for a decisive battle, and then I can wait for him to tire himself out. Now it seems that this approach is no longer feasible."

Wang Baobao didn't say much, and Zhao Min also fell silent.

It was unknown how long it had been before Zhao Min spoke again: "Dadu, Zhigu Village, is there any news from these two places?"

Wang Baobao said: "Yes, in Dadu, Zhang Dingbian has already begun to recruit soldiers on a large scale, and supplies from Jiangnan have been transported to Dadu by countless caravans."

"As for Zhigu Village, it is the same as before, but Mr. Han, we are still waiting for your instructions."

Zhao Min thought for a moment and said, "Let my master come over. If we don't withdraw some troops, Zhigu Village will be surrounded by Zhang Dingbian sooner or later. If something unexpected happens on my side, they will be unable to advance or retreat, and they will be trapped like a turtle in a jar."

Wang Baobao nodded in agreement at first, but then continued, "Longcheng has now been taken by Zhang Wuji. If Mr. Han leads his troops to support, I'm afraid he can only take a detour through the grassland."

Zhao Min laughed and said, "Just take a detour? Zhang Wuji is rushing around on the grassland, so why can't we?"

"Go and pass on the message. Ask my master to withdraw 50,000 troops from Zhigu Village to support me. If Zhang Wuji still doesn't come to challenge me for a decisive battle after my master arrives, let my master lead the troops to guard Jinyang, while you and I continue to lead the troops westward."

"As for Zhigu Village, let General Duan defend it to the death, but try to leave a way out for yourself. In case the situation gets bad, you can leave yourself a way to retreat."

Without further ado, Wang Baobao immediately sent a messenger to Zhigu Village.

At almost the same time, Zhang Wuji also sent someone to deliver a letter to Dadu.

The content of the letter basically told Zhang Dingbian that the time for his decisive battle with Zhao Min was almost here.

In order to reduce his worries, he asked him to contain the Yuan soldiers in Zhigu Village at all costs, so that he would not be stabbed in the butt again during the decisive battle with Zhao Min.

The content of Zhang Wuji's letter was extremely concise. As for other matters, Zhang Dingbian was left to handle them.

This is also Zhang Wuji's most outstanding feature. When he gave orders to his generals, he simply stated a general strategic direction.

As for other matters, the general can handle them as he sees fit.

Six or seven days later, Zhang Dingbian, who was reviewing the new army outside the capital, suddenly received a letter from Zhang Wuji.

To be honest, Zhang Dingbian had been waiting for the next instructions for a long time.

Ever since Zhang Wuji asked him to wait for news last time, he has been waiting for dozens of days. Seeing that the ice and snow are about to melt away and the whole winter is almost over, the current war situation is likely to have further progress.
