Zhang Wuji thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense."
"But now, after all, we are on this endless grassland."
"Such a large-scale cavalry will probably attract the attention of the nobles on the grassland in no time."
"Even if the Mongols are useless now, they will never allow us to run rampant on their territory."
"If they unite and encircle us, it will be very troublesome."
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Young Master, you overestimate the people on the grassland."
"Before helping Zhao Min to attack Longcheng, Ashilan organized a crappy alliance of six kings."
"In that meeting, the six most powerful noble princes gathered on the grassland."
"At the same time, they also took away 250,000 soldiers and horses."
"The number of Mongols is not large to begin with. Excluding the 250,000 soldiers and horses taken away by Asilan, according to my guess, it is already difficult to gather the imagined fighting force on the grassland now."
"So, even if we move a little slower, there won't be any problem."
"Even if we encounter the enemy, our current combat power is enough to deal with it."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Wuji said, "Okay, let's do as the two ladies said. Let's slow down and give Zhu Yuanzhang some more time."
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Young Master, you really are able to listen to other people's advice."
"Logically speaking, we women shouldn't interfere in matters of marching and fighting. I couldn't help but say what I said just now."
"I hope you don't think too much about it."
After Zhao Linger said this, Zhou Zhiruo looked at her with contempt: "Old woman, just say whatever you think."
"It's not that Zhang Wuji doesn't think about what you said, but he is simply too lazy to think about it."
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "People in the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics. There have been many bad examples throughout history. I am just thinking about your country and the people."
"Besides, don't think that everyone is the same as you. I am me and you are you. I, Zhao Linger, and you, Zhou Zhiruo, are different."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "At first glance, what you said seems to be nothing wrong, but when I think about it carefully, I still feel that you are mocking me."
…
In Yuan Dadu, Chang Yuchun's troops' offensive became more and more fierce.
The shouts and cries of killing that resounded through heaven and earth were getting louder and louder.
Zhao Min stood on the top of the city wall, quietly watching everything in front of her.
At this moment, Chang Yuchun lined up dozens of cannons in front of the formation, and the rumbling sound of cannons came one after another.
Zhao Min really wanted to rush out of the city and fight to the death with Chang Yuchun, but her reason reminded her not to do so.
Although Chang Yuchun's troops came from afar, they were still full of fighting spirit at this moment. In addition, Xu Da was supporting him not far away. If they went out of the city to fight at this time, they would most likely suffer losses.
Zhao Min has been fighting for many years, but it was not until today that he discovered that there are so many tough opponents in the world.
What puzzled her even more was when Zhu Yuanzhang had so many capable and brave generals under his command.
Han Yulou saw Zhao Min's frown and felt anxious in his heart.
He said to Zhao Min, "Your Majesty, if this continues, the number of enemy troops gathering near Dadu will only increase."
"The military book says, if there are five of them, attack them; if there are ten of them, surround them."
"At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Wuji have not appeared near Dadu. If we go out of the city and fight a big battle now, and annihilate his hundreds of thousands of troops, it will be very beneficial to the future development of our war."
Zhao Min smiled and shook her head: "Master, just before you said this, I had thought about this question in my mind."
"All the skills I have were taught by you. Whether it is cultivation or military strategy, you are better than me."
"From the moment we decided to defend the city, we lost the best opportunity for a decisive battle."
"If we choose to fight outside the city now, the chances of winning are too slim."
"Look at the formation of Chang Yuchun's camp. Although he is attacking, he is actually in a defensive formation."
"I guess he might still be waiting for me to go out of the city and fight."
"Besides, Xu Da's 200,000-strong army was still responding to him from fifty miles away."
"If we go out of the city to fight, and fail to win the battle quickly, once Xu Da's troops arrive, it will be difficult for our soldiers to retreat back to the city."
"If there is no foolproof plan, it is better for us not to move."
Han Yulou sighed helplessly. He knew that Zhao Min was right. At this moment, the best time had passed. Moreover, they had already tried the most suitable moment for a decisive battle.
Even at the most suitable moment for a decisive battle, they never gained an advantage.
Chang Yuchun and Xu Da were marching step by step in coordination with each other. If one wanted to fight outside the city now, one would not only need to have the strength to defeat Chang Yuchun, but also the ability to defeat Xu Da at the same time.
If you calculate it this way, the chances of winning a battle outside the city are indeed slim.
After sighing, Zhao Min continued: "Master, for us now, it is better to be still than to move."
"I have a hunch now that the biggest variable will definitely not be Zhu Yuanzhang. As long as I stay here and don't go out, Chang Yuchun and Xu Da will not be able to do anything to me."
"If General Duan adopts the same approach, he will definitely be able to withstand Zhu Yuanzhang's offensive."
