Han Yulou quickly comforted him, "Your Majesty, I know you are very conflicted, but now, you really can't sink any further."
"Most of the soldiers are simple-minded and they just do whatever you say. Right now, we really need to boost morale. Otherwise, with our current state, we will never be able to capture the city even if we reach the gates of Chuzhou."
"No matter what, the Three Guards of Doyan are the foundation of your foothold by Zhang Wuji's side. But given your current condition, I'm afraid it won't be long before this team is destroyed in Jiangnan. By then, you will not only fail to gain face with Zhang Wuji, but you will also lose a strong backing."
"With this powerful army in hand, you will be an unknown but powerful queen, but without this army, you will be the same as the other women around Zhang Wuji."
The figures of Zhou Zhiruo, Yu Fei, Zhu'er and others suddenly appeared in Zhao Min's mind.
In Zhao Min's impression, those women were just some jealous bitches who only knew how to fight for favors. Zhao Min shook her head desperately.
She didn't want to become one of those women who would try to rush to sleep with Zhang Wuji at night. Even if she wanted to sleep with him, she wanted Zhang Wuji to find her actively. If she wanted Zhang Wuji to find her, then she would have to be different from other women. Obviously, that difference was her limited military power.
Zhao Min picked up the wine jug beside her and drank two gulps with all her might.
She had quit drinking for a long time, but in order to cover up her shame, she had to take a few sips again.
"Master, let the army assemble here, I want to give a speech."
Han Yulou's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, have you thought about what to say?"
Zhao Min sighed and said, "I have thought about it. I have thought about it a long time ago. I have thought about it since I became pregnant."
"It's just because of shame that I can't speak up."
As she spoke, Zhao Min took two more gulps of liquor.
…
After drinking the wine, Zhao Min's cheeks became rosy.
Her stomach felt hot, a long-lost feeling that made her miss it a little.
It is not easy to assemble an army of tens of thousands of people.
The head and tail of the team were at least several miles apart, and by the time the team regrouped in an open space, half an hour had passed.
Zhao Min put the red dragon robe back on herself. Looking at the robe, she actually felt a little grateful to Zhang Wuji.
She was grateful that after she surrendered, Zhang Wuji did not tear her clothes to pieces.
…
Zhao Min called Li Yao to her side again and asked her to tie her long black hair into a long and thick braid. Just like before, she swung the long braid to her chest, and paired it with the bright red dragon robe. The former Zhao Min was back at this moment.
She hadn't dressed like this for more than a year, and when she put on this look again, she was actually a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Min took two more gulps of liquor and said to herself, "Zhao Min, don't panic, you can do it, don't panic..."
A moment later, she arrived in front of the three armies and jumped onto a ten-foot-high boulder. At this moment, the unique dragon roar of the Sword of the Heavenly Sword resounded throughout the three armies again.
Neither Zhao Min herself nor the soldiers under her command had heard this familiar voice for a long time.
Zhao Min slowly said: "Soldiers, I have been a little depressed recently. There is no other reason, but I just feel a little ashamed."
"I surrendered Zhang Wuji and gave birth to a child for that enemy. Now when I think about it, I feel ashamed, but there is no other way. In order to survive on the land beneath my feet, I have to do this. Only by doing this can I protect you."
"As for the shame I mentioned, it's because I feel sorry for you."
"I really don't have the face to face you."
"But now, even if I feel ashamed, I have to say something to you."
"I gave birth to a child for Zhang Wuji. For the sake of this child, he and I are tied together for life. As long as I don't rebel, he won't betray me, but at the same time, I don't want to betray him either."
"If I let Zhang Wuji down, it will not benefit myself or you at all."
"I know how much harm the Mongols have brought to the Han people in the past hundred years, and you know it too. If it weren't for me, the Yuan Dynasty would have been destroyed ten years ago."
"But now, Zhang Wuji has accepted me and you."
"I am only in my twenties this year. To be honest, I am afraid I will live longer than all of you. As long as I am still here, you can continue to receive military pay, and then marry one or two Han girls on Han land. But to achieve this goal, there is a prerequisite."
"That is to help Zhang Wuji defeat Zhu Yuanzhang. The feud between Zhang Wuji and I has been resolved, but the hatred between Zhu Yuanzhang and me, or the hatred between you and him, can only be resolved if one of us dies."
"Therefore, I hope you can adjust your mentality. I am not forcing you to fight this battle. If Zhang Wuji is defeated, even if you can retreat to the grassland alive, I am afraid you will have to live a life worse than pigs and dogs, and you will have to face Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition Army from time to time."
"But if you stay with me and help Zhang Wuji defeat Zhu Yuanzhang, your ending will be much better. At least you will have a stable life in the second half of your life."
"So, you all need to change your negative attitude towards war."
"Do you understand?"
…
Zhao Min gave up her face and put aside her shame.
At this moment, her grace as the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty was once again displayed.
Zhao Min is still as beautiful as before. Even though she has given birth to a child, it has not affected her charm at all.
At this moment, Wang Baobao, who was not far in front of her, suddenly knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, you lost your virginity to Zhang Wuji for us. We have no way to repay this kindness. If we can't share your worries, then I would have been wearing this human skin in vain."
Duan Zihao also knelt on the ground: "Yes, Your Majesty, you gave birth to a child for Zhang Wuji against your conscience, all for the purpose of giving the soldiers a better career. We have no way to repay this kindness. Now, we can only do whatever you say. We are willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty and die for him."
