Zhao Min's army is already in sight.
In Jinyang, at this moment Yang Xiao was standing on the city wall and looking at Zhao Min.
But it was obvious that although Yang Xiao stood higher, he had already lost in terms of momentum.
Although Yang Xiao is a capable and battle-hardened general, he does not have the domineering aura that only local lords possess.
Although Yang Xiao appeared calm on the surface at this moment, he was actually feeling uneasy in his heart.
He asked one of his generals, "Have you told His Majesty the news that Zhao Min is attacking Jinyang?"
The lieutenant replied: "It has been spread. To prevent any accidents, I have specially sent out two groups of troops."
Yang Xiao said: "Good, very good, this means that Your Majesty will get the news of Zhao Min's attack on Jinyang no matter what."
"Then we should just defend Jinyang now, and Your Majesty will take care of the rest."
…
Ever since Yang Xiao learned that Zhao Min was going to attack Jinyang, he made Jinyang's defenses watertight. He reinforced the city walls and more than doubled the number of soldiers patrolling the city.
The food and grass in the city can last for several months.
Yang Xiao firmly believed that as long as he could defend Jinyang to the death, he would surely wait for the day when the situation would change.
…
At the foot of the city, Zhao Min was still dressed in red. Her graceful figure seemed a little thin in the breeze. Her beautiful face was so beautiful that people would never forget it after just one glance. Her long black hair was still tied into a long and thick braid.
Zhao Min possesses a wild beauty that no one else can imitate.
The same outfit and style, but when worn by Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Linger, they can never show the unique charm of Zhao Min.
This kind of wild beauty is something that Zhou Zhiruo and the others can never imitate.
It may be because Zhou Zhiruo and the others are already married. Even if they pretend to be cold-blooded, the inner aura of motherhood still dominates their position.
…
Wang Baobao just glanced at Zhao Min's back and lowered his head in fear.
In Wang Baobao's eyes, Zhao Min's appearance at this moment was not beautiful, but majestic. This kind of majesty was something that only the supreme empress of the Yuan Dynasty could possess.
Just as Wang Baobao lowered his head, Zhao Min said to him: "General Wang, Jinyang City is right in front of us. Yang Xiao has been arrogant in Longcheng for a long time, and you have been bullied by him. Now, it's time for revenge."
Wang Baobao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, three days, if I cannot take Jinyang City within three days, I am willing to die as an atonement."
Zhao Min laughed and said, "General, you are joking. We are all family. Don't always talk about life and death. Jinyang City is the birthplace of Zhang Wuji. Although the city defense here is not as good as Dadu, I think it must be very difficult to defeat."
"You lead the troops to attack the city first, and use more weapons to create momentum. In the next few days, you must focus on wearing out the troops. When you have exhausted the Ming troops in Jinyang City and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, I will personally lead the troops to capture Jinyang City."
"Don't act too hastily, but don't be passive in waiting for the battle, do you understand?"
Wang Baobao was one of the famous generals of the time. He certainly understood the meaning of Zhao Min's words.
Wang Baobao said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will do this perfectly."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Then I'll leave the matters here to you. I'll go around and survey the terrain first."
Zhao Min rode away on a white horse without any followers because she firmly believed that no one in Hexi had the ability to hurt her at that moment.
…
Three days later, in the imperial city of Yuan Dadu, inside the Daming Hall, this was where Zhao Min used to go to court to handle government affairs. But at this moment, the Daming Hall was still the same Daming Hall, but its owner had changed.
Zhou Zhiruo walked slowly to Zhang Wuji, holding a cup of fragrant tea. "My dear, I just discovered a problem. This place used to be where Emperor Shun of Yuan and Zhao Min handled military and national affairs, but it is called Daming Palace?"
"This Daming Palace sounds as if it was specially prepared for you."
Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "This may be God's will. The one who destroyed the Yuan Dynasty was the Ming Dynasty."
"There are many things in history that seem to be coincidences, but in fact, they are all God's will."
"This land belongs to our Ming Dynasty."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled slightly, and the endless charm between her eyebrows was seen by Zhang Wuji.
She gracefully handed the cup of tea to Zhang Wuji and said, "Here, this is specially prepared for you by your sister, the Queen. It is the best pre-rain Longjing tea, very fragrant. It was transported here from Jiangnan with untold hardships."
"It is not easy to drink such good tea in these chaotic times."
Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "No matter how fragrant the tea is, it can't compare to the smell of you."
When Zhou Zhiruo heard this, her delicate body trembled and her cheeks turned red involuntarily.
It seemed as if he was recalling some memorable scenes from last night.
She said to Zhang Wuji shyly, "You, can you be serious for a moment? It's broad daylight and don't always think about those messy things."
Zhang Wuji said: "Zhiruo, why do you always imagine me to be so terrible? I am a serious person. I didn't think of anything just now."
Zhou Zhiruo said with disdain: "If you were a serious man, there would be no indecent men in the world."
"Drink this cup of tea quickly. After you drink it, I'll get you something to eat."
Zhang Wuji did not take the cup of tea, but moved his body to the side.
"Zhiruo, come sit here and feed me."
Zhou Zhiruo frowned: "I feed you? You are not a child, why should I feed you? I think you are getting lazier and lazier."
"Hmph, I'm not going to pay any attention to you."
Zhou Zhiruo placed the tea on the table in front of Zhang Wuji and turned to leave.
But how could Zhang Wuji give her the chance to leave him?
He grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's wrist, which was as white as jade, and pulled her to sit next to him.
Just as Zhou Zhiruo was about to struggle, Zhang Wuji continued, "Zhiruo, the place under your butt was once sat by the Empress Zhao Min. Just sit with me for a while and get a taste of the Empress. Isn't that nice?"
After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo really stopped struggling. However, after feeling it carefully, she said, "It's uncomfortable. This chair is too big. It's not comfortable at all to sit on."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you feel uncomfortable, but you have already tasted the Empress after all. In return, it's not too much to feed me a cup of tea, right?"
