Seeing that Zhang Wuji didn't even eat breakfast, Zhao Linger and others naturally knew that something big must have happened.
Zhou Zhiruo quickly grabbed four buns with her own hands and followed.
Seeing this, Yang Buhui, who was standing by, actually felt an urge to follow.
But at this moment, Zhao Linger said: "Sister Buhui, let's not join in the fun. It is your sister Zhou's job to always be by the king's side. If we follow her, I'm afraid your sister Zhou will be angry."
After hearing this, Yang Buhui really gave up the intention of following.
But at this moment, Wei Xiangjun said: "Even if Sister Zhou is angry, it is only on the surface. Through getting along with each other for this period of time, from Dadu to the current Longcheng, I feel that none of you sisters are narrow-minded. You are all good people."
After hearing this, Zhao Linger couldn't help but burst into laughter. After a moment, she said, "You girl are quite smart. Among all the women of the young master, there is no stingy one."
"Otherwise, the rest of us sisters would have joined forces to kill that stingy person."
…
As soon as Zhang Wuji walked out of the mansion, he saw Wei Yixiao standing there, waiting for him respectfully.
At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo also chased out.
She handed the bun in her hand to Zhang Wuji and said, "My dear, eat while talking. It won't delay your important matter."
Zhang Wuji was slightly touched by this action.
However, in front of outsiders, Zhang Wuji naturally couldn't say anything to Zhou Zhiruo.
He just took the bun casually, ate it, and said to Wei Yixiao, "Have you seen the report?"
Wei Yixiao said: "I have seen it. I know the situation is urgent, so I came to disturb Your Majesty so early. I hope Your Majesty can forgive me."
Zhang Wuji said: "General Wei, you are joking. The situation is urgent. You should gather all the military leaders together immediately and let's discuss it first."
…
"Four quarters of an hour later, all the military leaders in Longcheng gathered in the inner hall of a government office."
When Zhang Wuji saw that most people had arrived, he said, "Generals, to make a long story short, Zhao Min's army has begun to move towards Longcheng."
"For us, war is an inevitable choice, but besides this choice, we can also choose how to fight."
Among the many generals, many were warriors who only knew how to charge into battle, but there were also some who were smart.
After many generals looked at each other for a long time, Wei Yixiao finally spoke and said, "Your Majesty, this battle is crucial. You should tell me your opinion first."
After looking at Wei Yixiao, Zhang Wuji said, "General Wei, does General Yang know that Zhao Min has sent troops to Longcheng?"
Wei Yixiao quickly said: "He must have known it."
"I have placed many spies inside and outside Jinyang City, and some of them are responsible for delivering information to General Yang."
Zhang Wuji nodded and said, "That's good. General Yang is a smart man. If Zhao Min moves, then the troops under his command will definitely move as well."
King Yin Ye on the side also said: "General Yang's troops are almost all infantry. It is about four hundred miles from Jinyang to here, and it is more than a thousand miles from Daxing Prefecture where General Yang is located."
"Now I'm afraid that General Yang's troops will not be able to come to our rescue in time."
Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "No, General Yang suffered such a great defeat at the hands of Zhao Min. Now he must be sleeping on straw and eating bitter food, gritting his teeth and wanting to take revenge."
"During the critical period of our battle with Zhao Min, he will definitely lead his troops to support us."
The military leaders present were naturally relieved to see that Zhang Wuji still trusted Yang Xiao so much.
Then, Zhang Wuji continued: "Generals, we have waited for this battle for too long."
"Although we do not have an advantage in terms of military strength, we must still do our best."
"If we win, we will continue to sweep the world; if we lose, we will lose the chance to dominate the world."
"Just now General Wei asked me what I was thinking. Now, I will tell you what I think about this battle."
"First of all, before Yang Xiao's reinforcements arrived, Zhao Min's military strength was more than twice ours."
"Therefore, a battle to defend the city is absolutely not advisable."
"If our tens of thousands of troops are trapped in the city by Zhao Min, we will inevitably end up in a siege and attack on the reinforcements. By then, Yang Xiao's troops will probably be wiped out by Zhao Min again."
"So I suggest that we should go out of the city to fight, and leave a small number of soldiers and horses in the city. Even if we lose the first battle, we can retreat to the city again."
As soon as Zhang Wuji finished speaking, Yin Yewang quickly said, "Your Majesty is wise. The tens of thousands of soldiers under our command are all cavalry. As cavalry, they should gallop freely on the battlefield."
"Otherwise, our few advantages will certainly be lost."
Afterwards, Wei Yixiao also said: "This is what I meant."
"This cavalry under our command was formed by plundering horses from almost the entire Hexi region."
"If we are trapped in this isolated city, it would be too unfair."
After seeing the two main generals express their opinions, many generals present also quickly seconded the motion.
Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "Do you all really think so?"
Many generals seconded the motion again.
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Okay, that's it. Brothers, please be more vigilant recently. Don't show off in the end."
"After defeating Zhao Min, we will unify the world."
Then, Zhang Wuji turned his gaze to Wei Yixiao and Yin Yewang: "Two generals, the two of you quickly find a flat place along Zhao Min's marching route that is suitable for a cavalry decisive battle."
"After choosing the location, we will set off early tomorrow morning."
King Yin Ye and Wei Yixiao quickly took the order and left.
After the two of them left, all the generals present also dispersed.
After seeing everyone leave, Zhang Wuji took a deep breath.
It would be a lie to say that they weren't nervous in such a crucial battle. This time, neither Zhao Min nor Zhang Wuji could afford to lose.
At this moment, a pair of delicate hands began to rub Zhang Wuji's temples gently.
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Zhiruo, your massage skills have improved a lot recently."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Stop joking. I just want to make you feel comfortable. If you dare to make fun of me, be careful that I will not serve you."
Zhang Wuji smiled slightly, then suddenly asked Zhou Zhiruo, "Zhiruo, are you nervous?"
