Zhou Zhiruo widened her eyes: "Zhang Wuji, what are you talking about? When did I use my beauty trap on you? My two sisters are still here, how can you talk nonsense."
Yang Buhui on the side smiled and said, "Sister Zhou, forget it. Don't you know what kind of person Brother Wuji is? He just talks a lot."
Zhou Zhiruo said angrily: "It's no use talking too much. In the beginning, he was the one who coaxed and deceived me, but today, he refuses to admit it. Is my face so unimportant?"
Wei Xiangjun on the side also comforted her: "Sister Zhou, forget it. Look behind you. Tens of thousands of soldiers are looking at us. At this time, if someone must save face, it can only be Brother Wuji. Do you want to expose his shortcomings in front of all the soldiers?"
…
Zhou Zhiruo turned her head and took a look, then sighed helplessly: "You evil enemy, I have suffered with you for so many years. If you talk nonsense again, I will really run away from home."
Zhang Wuji smiled awkwardly, and suddenly felt that he had somewhat humiliated her just now.
"Zhiruo, don't be angry. We have been through so many ups and downs for so many years. As your husband, can't I speak freely in front of you?"
Zhou Zhiruo said angrily: "Hmph, I'm not bad either. From now on, you are not allowed to say that I seduced you. It's obviously not true. It's obviously you who coaxed and deceived me. You are a grown man and you should take more responsibility for this kind of thing. If it happens again, I will run away from home and no one can stop me."
…
The difference between Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Linger, or her other sisters, is that she never indulges Zhang Wuji in trivial matters. If she is dissatisfied, they will quarrel. If she can't win the argument, she will run away from home if he still doesn't apologize.
Among all the women Zhang Wuji has, only Zhou Zhiruo plays this trick, but Zhang Wuji is the one who falls for her the most. After all, in his heart, only Zhou Zhiruo best meets the standards of a wife. It's quite interesting to quarrel with her, act coquettishly, and then be coaxed by him when he has nothing to do.
…
There was only one reason why Zhang Wuji led the vanguard army, and that was that he had to be the first to win the first battle with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Therefore, none of his generals came.
If I have to choose one, it would only be Zhou Zhiruo.
At this moment, it was almost noon. Zhang Wuji ordered the soldiers to dismount and rest outside the city of Lin'an. Groups of more than a dozen people lit piles of bonfires. Fighting was important, but eating was equally important.
A moment later, Zhang Wuji's army formation was filled with smoke and fog, like a fairyland.
Fu Zhong on the top of the city wall was very surprised, "This is too arrogant, it is obvious that he does not take me, the general guarding the city, seriously."
A young general beside him said: "General, this cult leader is too arrogant. How about I lead 5,000 soldiers to catch him off guard?"
After thinking for a while, Fu Zhong said, "Forget it. I called Zhang Wuji the leader of a cult just to mock him."
"This fellow only had a few thousand men under his command in the beginning, but now he has unified all the territories north of the Yellow River. Such a man should not be underestimated. I don't believe that anyone can lead 5,000 men to disrupt his camp. With Zhang Wuji's attainments in martial arts, I'm afraid that you would be captured or killed by him as soon as you left the city."
"Now, the only way out is to defend this city to the death. It will take at most half a month. After half a month, our Majesty's troops will gather here. By then, the crisis in Lin'an can be resolved."
…
The young general's idea of launching a sneak attack was correct.
Although it is impossible for five thousand people to achieve a great victory, they can at least disrupt Zhang Wuji's marching deployment. Once successful, they can gain the most precious time.
Unfortunately, Fu Zhong didn't dare.
He was certain that Zhang Wuji outside the city was only pretending to be like this to lure him into attacking him.
But there was nothing he could do. Zhang Wuji really just wanted the soldiers to have a good meal and didn't take any special precautions.
A quarter of an hour later, after the 30,000 soldiers had lunch, they regrouped and prepared for battle again.
The soldiers were well-organized and their coordination was unparalleled. Even Fu Zhong on the top of the city wall couldn't help but admire them.
However, at this moment, Yang Buhui and Wei Xiangjun suddenly walked in front of Zhang Wuji.
Wei Xiangjun said: "Brother Wuji, this time, it is the first battle of our Ming Dynasty's march south. Let us sisters follow you and share the glory. We don't ask for anything else, just let us show our faces in front of our father. At least we are people who have practiced martial arts. It is really unreasonable to always be treated as a vase."
Yang Buhui said: "That's right, Brother Wuji, when we attack the city later, the two of us will lead the charge. What Sister Zhou can do, we can do too."
Zhou Zhiruo on the side snorted coldly: "Hmph, you two girls, do you want to steal my limelight?"
Only then did Yang Buhui realize that she must have said the wrong thing.
She quickly explained: "Sister Zhou, that's not what we meant. Even the Queen can't steal your popularity in the army, let alone the two of us."
"We two are not as pretty as you. Compared to you, we are not even qualified to be a vase. But since Xiangjun and I have followed you, we have to do something. Otherwise, we will be laughed at by the soldiers in the army."
"If we don't show up in front of the battle, the soldiers will probably think that the only thing we can do is sleep with Brother Wuji."
"As a woman, you should understand us best. It would be terrible if the soldiers thought that Guang would do that kind of thing to His Majesty."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Okay, at least you two have grown up. It's not easy for us women. It's okay to be taken advantage of by others at night, but when marching and fighting, we still have to fight for ourselves to have a say."
"Well, you two should have a good rest first. Later, when the city is broken, we women will be the first to rush into Lin'an City in front of all the men. Then, we will see who dares to say that we are just vases who can only sleep with men."
After hearing this, Yang Buhui was extremely excited: "Sister Zhou, the word 'vase' is enough to describe me and Sister Xiangjun. If I use these two words to describe you, it would be an injustice to your abilities."
"Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, your position in the army is higher than that of the Queen. We sisters have never thought about surpassing you. We just want to avoid embarrassing ourselves in front of you."
"In the days to come, Sister Zhou must give us more advice."
