"Details," Zhao Min said with a smile, "There's nothing too detailed, just keep advancing eastward."
"Keep putting pressure on the Japanese. We are outnumbered, so we had no choice but to give the Japanese a few days to breathe after that battle. But now, after that battle, Inoue Takeshi has led his defeated troops to flee to a place called Dongchuan County."
After Zhao Min said this, she looked at Long Ze on the side. After getting Zhao Min's gaze, Long Ze hurriedly said: "Dongchuan County, in fact, this name is not very accurate. That place may still be the size of a county a few decades ago, but now, it may be called Dongchuan County. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the only way for our Ming Dynasty to advance eastward. Therefore, if we want to reach Tokyo, we must take that place."
"The city wall there is very high. If Inoue Takeshi is willing to risk his life to defend it, it will be a very troublesome thing."
…
Long Ze briefly introduced the things related to Dongchuan County. Then, Zhao Min said to Zhang Wuji with a smile: "Your Majesty, Dongchuan County must be a key position. What do you think?"
Zhang Wuji thought for a while and said, "It's not really an explanation, but I just feel that even if a bone is hard to chew, you always have to chew it a few times. If you really can't chew it, just go around it. The worst that can happen is that you have to walk a few hundred miles more and block the road. It's better than letting the soldiers risk their lives to take over that Dongchuan County."
Zhao Min laughed and said, "It's easy for you to say it, my dear. If we take a detour of hundreds of miles, I don't know how many casualties will occur just by traveling these hundreds of miles."
Zhou Zhiruo on the side said: "This is not a big deal. When we attacked your capital, didn't we just take a detour through the grassland?"
Zhao Min was stunned for a moment: "Yes, if you hadn't told me, you vixen, I would have forgotten that you attacked me in the same way back then. It's really rude of you, a grown man, to compete with a little woman like me, not only not in a fair and open manner, but also to launch a sneak attack. It's embarrassing to think about it."
"It's not a fair victory at all."
Zhang Wuji was naturally a little embarrassed after hearing this, but Zhou Zhiruo was not the same: "You Mongolian fox, stop talking nonsense. We were enemies back then. No matter how Zhang Wuji beat you, it was deserved."
"But you, you shameless man, you always seem to be so high and mighty, after all, you have been an emperor. But when you saw that you were at the end of the road, you were so despicable that you used your body to exchange for another life. You are really shameless."
…
Looking back at the past, Zhao Min has never forgotten any of the scenes that happened.
If possible, Zhao Min would sincerely think that she was able to survive by seducing Zhang Wuji.
But the actual result was really not like that. It was obvious that she failed to die, and Zhang Wuji became lustful and insisted on doing that to her.
That night, she suffered a terrible punishment. The pleasure of struggling on the brink of death has long been engraved in Zhao Min's heart, and she will probably never forget it for the rest of her life.
"Sister Min'er, what kind of despicable thing must you have thought of to make yourself like this? Look at your red face, it's as if you just did that."
Yu Fei's laughter echoed in Zhao Min. After Zhao Min came to her senses, she laughed and said, "Sister Yu is really not a good person. You can guess what I'm thinking. You are so shameless."
Yu Fei said with a smile: "So, Sister Min'er agrees with what Sister Zhou said just now. Back then, did you really survive by seducing our husband?"
Zhao Min smiled and said, "I'm too lazy to tell you about what happened back then. If you think it is, then so be it. Anyway, you only believe what you think. As for how things originally looked, you don't care."
After Zhao Min said this, Zhao Linger was the first to laugh: "Haha, Sister Min'er is right. We don't care what the original situation was. We just believe that you relied on your beauty to exchange a life with the young master."
The girls all burst into laughter. Although Zhao Min felt somewhat helpless, she wasn't angry. They were all family, so what was there to be angry about? They were just laughing at each other, weren't they? Didn't she often laugh at the other sisters?
Zhao Min has obviously come to some realization. Life is probably like this. Sometimes you laugh at others, and sometimes you are laughed at by others. If life can go on like this, it would be a very happy thing.
…
After breakfast, the women, Zhang Wuji, and tens of thousands of soldiers beside them marched towards Dongchuan.
A distance of sixty or seventy miles takes one day for cavalry and two days for heavy infantry.
That night, as the sun set, Zhao Min, dressed in red, appeared at the foot of Dongchuan City.
It was not until they arrived at the foot of the city that Zhao Min realized that what Long Ze had said before was absolutely correct. This city was indeed quite tall. Looking at the mountains and rivers on both sides, even from ten miles away, one could tell that it was not an easy task to bypass it.
"Who is under the city?".
The Japanese soldiers on the city wall shouted.
Since Zhao Min insisted on coming to Dongchuan City alone to show off, Zhang Wuji and the others didn't follow too closely, so the Japanese soldiers only saw Zhao Min.
Looking at Zhao Min again, she didn't answer at first. She took out an iron bow from the saddle behind her, and then she drew the bow like a full moon and shot an arrow like thunder, killing one person before the Japanese soldiers on the city wall could react.
The Japanese soldiers on the top of the city were terrified. They shouted loudly that the enemy was attacking and poured down arrows like rain.
Zhao Min smiled slightly, threw the iron bow aside, and then drew out the sword. The sound of dragon roars resounded throughout the area. She just swung it lightly, and the few arrows that might have hit her were knocked to the ground by the majestic sword energy.
"Hahaha, tell that damn Inoue Xiong that I used to be the empress of the Yuan Dynasty, and now I am the marshal of the Ming expeditionary force. I came to Japan this time to destroy the country. I intend to raze Tokyo City to the ground, so how could I let this little Dongchuan block my way?"
"Tell Inoue Yu that I will only give him one day. If he surrenders within one day, I will spare his life. If I don't see Inoue Yu open the city and surrender before sunset tomorrow, then I will raze this little Dongchuan to the ground."
