After hearing this, Han Yulou couldn't help but said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, the last time we fought with Zhang Wuji, I told you that being alive is a very beautiful thing. The past is over, so don't think about it. As for the fact that you are still thinking about Zhang Wuji, it is not something to be ashamed of."
"The Yuan Empire is a thing of the past. Now that it's over, there's no need to think about it anymore. As for you, Your Majesty, you have been an empress after all, and you have commanded thousands of troops. I believe you have tasted the power. Since you have enjoyed it, you have no regrets."
"But after all, you are just a girl, and girls have to get married eventually."
"Zhang Wuji is a handsome man. It is not an easy thing for him to rise from being a cult leader to becoming the emperor at such a young age. From what I have seen of Zhang Wuji, apart from being a little lustful, he doesn't seem to have any other problems."
"However, this lust may be a big problem for other women, but it may not be a bad thing for you, Your Majesty. Zhang Wuji is lustful, and Your Majesty was the most beautiful woman in the Yuan Dynasty. Isn't this exactly what Zhang Wuji wants?"
"Moreover, you still have tens of thousands of troops at your disposal, and the generals under your command are all famous generals of the time. If you use them properly, even if Zhang Wuji surrenders, it won't matter. We can still make a name for ourselves in his Ming Dynasty."
"If I give birth to more children, I will make them all princes. It's not certain who will own the world in a few decades."
After hearing this, Zhao Min lowered her head in shame: "Give birth to more children!, Selling your own body!, Master, why are you like this now? You are clearly asking me to sell my dignity. You don't know how lustful Zhang Wuji is. When he does that kind of thing, it is simply outrageous."
"Spending a night with him is more tiring than a whole day of fighting on the battlefield."
"Oh..." Zhao Min's already blushing cheeks suddenly became even redder.
If Zhang Wuji saw Zhao Min's look at this moment, he would probably lose control of himself again: "Master, it's all your fault. You deserve to die. Why am I telling you all this? Zhang Wuji deserves to die, and so do I. I feel so cheap. Not only did I give birth to a child for my enemy, but in the end I even fell in love with him. I feel so cheap just thinking about it."
Han Yulou wanted to continue to comfort his good disciple, but Zhao Min hurriedly said: "Master, you, you must stay away from me immediately. From now on, until this time tomorrow, I don't want to see you again. It's all your fault. I was in a good mood today, but after talking to you for a few words, I became so embarrassed."
…
Han Yulou was driven away by Zhao Min, but after calming down, Zhao Min's mood became even more confused.
She knew that her desire to work without putting in any effort was unrealistic. Putting aside whether she would truly let Zhang Wuji face Zhu Yuanzhang's hundreds of thousands of troops alone, she knew that with her current southward march, they would inevitably come into conflict with Zhu Yuanzhang's forces. Her own battle would inevitably come. What would she do? When the fighting truly began, how would she mobilize her own soldiers?
This question had been plaguing Zhao Min since the day she led her troops to war, and even now, she couldn't bring herself to explain to the soldiers the central idea behind this march south.
It's really embarrassing.
Zhao Min, so angry that she could only lie on the carriage and cover her head tightly with a quilt.
She didn't want to see this world anymore. Looking around, all she could see seemed to be embarrassing things.
…
Three days later, the 20,000 personal troops led by Zhang Wuji had rushed all the way like a hurricane, and actually broke into Zhu Yuanzhang's Jiangnan area.
The 20,000 men, all cavalry, moved extremely quickly, and urgent reports from many places in the south of the Yangtze River flew to Zhu Yuanzhang like snowflakes.
Zhu Yuanzhang's 500,000-strong army had very poor mobility when it was on the move. After a day's march, the large army might only travel 50 to 60 miles at most. Therefore, even now, Zhu Yuanzhang's army has not reached the Longping Prefecture battlefield.
Looking at the several urgent reports in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little headache. He quickly called Liu Bowen to his side: "Sir, please take a look."
After reading the contents of those urgent reports, Liu Bowen also had a headache: "Your Majesty, this may be that Zhang Wuji sent a small force. According to this urgent report, the scale is at most 20,000 people. Now is the time for us to have a decisive battle with Zhang Wuji's main force. At this moment, we must not do stupid things like dividing our troops because of one or two disgusting flies."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded involuntarily: "What you said makes sense, sir. I also know that we must not divide our troops now, but at this moment, almost all the troops in Jiangnan are in my hands, and the rear is empty. If I leave this army alone, the consequences will be unimaginable."
After thinking for a while, Liu Bowen said, "Your Majesty, our rear is actually not empty. In the entire Jiangnan region, if the situation is critical, we can still gather hundreds of thousands of troops. But now, these hundreds of thousands of troops are scattered in various prefectures, counties and cities."
"Your Majesty should immediately issue an order for all county and prefecture governments in Jiangnan to be on high alert. Anyone with suspicious behavior must be strictly interrogated. No matter how many garrisons there are, they must be alert and on high alert for twelve hours every day. Although doing so may not necessarily have any significant effect, it can at least temporarily solve the urgent problem."
"Although Zhang Wuji has gained some advantage in his southward march this time, the number of soldiers and horses under his command cannot be compared with ours after all. As long as, as long as Your Majesty wins a battle, Zhang Wuji's army will inevitably suffer a complete rout. At that time, it will still be in time for us to send troops to deal with the fly that has sneaked into our hinterland."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed helplessly and said, "Sir, what you said makes sense. Let's do as you say. I will issue an order immediately to have all the county and government offices in Jiangnan to guard against the enemy strictly."
Liu Bowen looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's gloomy expression and suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't have to make yourself so nervous now. You must stay calm."
"Although Zhang Wuji, the evil cult leader, is a little difficult to deal with, we are still in the same situation several years ago."
"Your Majesty, think about the scene when we fought the decisive battle with Chen Youliang. Compared with that moment, our situation is already a world apart."
"What Your Majesty needs to do now is to seize an opportunity. As long as we can annihilate about 50,000 enemies in one battle, we will definitely force Zhang Wuji's army to retreat."
"Your Majesty is not Chen Youliang of the past. You have hundreds of thousands of troops at your command, enough to wipe out any enemy."
