Five days later.
Tens of thousands of soldiers under Zhao Min have already rested in Caizhou.
The empress dowager of the Yuan Empire was staring at the sand table in front of her. Just when she was about to lead the army to attack Hezhou where Zhu Yuanzhang was stationed, an unexpected news came to her ears.
