What these Ming Cult generals are hoping for now is for the war to start as soon as possible.
They did not believe that they would lose any war. This confidence came not only from themselves, but more importantly from Zhang Wuji.
Before Zhang Wuji became the leader of the Ming Cult, these generals were just military men.
But now, they have transformed themselves into generals commanding countless troops.
The gap between the two is not a little bit. A warrior, no matter how successful he is, is just a lackey in front of the king, princes, generals and ministers.
But now, these Mingjiao soldiers saw the possibility of being granted titles of nobility and becoming prime ministers.
Although the matter of being conferred the title of marquis and appointed as prime minister only happened one day several years later.
However, as long as that day comes, I can bring honor to my family.
Even a hundred years later, his descendants will burn incense and pray for him every day.
They can only get such an honor from Zhang Wuji.
…
Next, Zhang Wuji turned his gaze to Wei Yixiao.
Wei Yixiao quickly stood up and said: "Master, what are your instructions? No matter if I have to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of fire, I will not refuse my death."
Zhang Wuji nodded and said, "Uncle Wei is an old man of the Ming Cult. This time, Uncle Yang and I will lead the troops to fight, and the defense of Longcheng will be left to you."
"But I will not leave you too many soldiers and horses. I will only leave you 15,000 people, and the rest of the troops will be on the expedition."
"During the time when we are away from Longcheng, you must strengthen the defense of Longcheng again."
"Strengthen and raise the city walls, and make more arrows, rolling logs, thunder stones and other city defense equipment."
"Zhao Min is an expert. If she sends people to attack the city while I'm away, you must not take the initiative to attack. You are not allowed to move forward or backward a single step. You must also immediately pile up soil around the city gates to prevent any accidents."
"Do you understand?"
Wei Yixiao quickly said: "Don't worry, Master. Longcheng is my coffin. Even if I am cut into pieces, I will never leave this city."
Afterwards, Zhang Wuji sent someone to deliver the order to defend the city to Xuzhou at full speed.
Xuzhou, where Yin Yewang stayed, was equally crucial. Neither of these two cities could afford to make the slightest mistake.
…
Zhang Wuji's meeting ended after an hour.
He ordered his generals to go back and make preparations quickly. When the sun rises tomorrow, Zhang Wuji's army will set out.
…
After seeing that many generals had left, Zhao Linger and Yu Fei walked up to Zhang Wuji.
Zhao Linger said: "Master Zhang has a really big appetite. With just the few soldiers and horses you have, you actually want to directly take over the three provinces of Hexi."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "I know my appetite is a little big, so I called you sisters here."
"In this expedition, Shanxi, one of the three provinces, will definitely be in my pocket, but for the remaining two provinces, the outcome will be half God's will and half human effort."
"Gansu and Shaanxi are mostly plains with few cities, so they are suitable for cavalry combat. Moreover, most of the troops in these two provinces were mobilized to the south to quell the rebellion many years ago. If I can achieve the effect of divine troops descending from the sky, I will have some chance of winning."
"But the chances of winning depend on whether the two girls are willing to help me."
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, I wanted to give you some help a few days ago. I didn't expect that you would speak to me first so soon."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "A few days ago, I was just planning to conquer Shanxi first. If I were only conquering Shanxi, I could handle the military supplies myself."
"But things are different now. Yang Xiao and I will split up our forces and I will be traveling a long way. I may need food supplies and intelligence on the garrisons in Gansu and Shaanxi."
"If Miss Zhao is willing to help, you can propose any conditions you want."
"However, these conditions can only be fulfilled after I successfully take over these places."
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, in my opinion, the chance of success of your plan to attack Gansu and Shaanxi is only 30% at most."
"If you fail, I'm afraid we sisters will suffer with you."
Before Zhang Wuji could answer Zhao Linger's words, Zhou Zhiruo slowly walked over.
"My man is invincible. No matter what he wants to do, he can do it as long as he wants to."
Zhao Linger looked back and saw the fairy-like Zhou Zhiruo looking at her with a smile on her face.
Zhao Linger was stunned for a moment, then said: "I guess you are the wife of Mr. Zhang. I am Zhao Linger, nice to meet the leader's wife."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "You're too polite. You seem to be a few years older than me. If I don't mind, you can call me sister in the future."
Before Zhao Linger could say anything, Yu Fei said to her, "Senior Sister, she is the Zhou Zhiruo I mentioned to you."
"Don't be fooled by her beautiful appearance, she is actually a narrow-minded woman."
"She always bullies me. Once, she even bullied me until I cried."
"Senior sister, please teach her a lesson for me and let her know that we sisters are not easy to bully. You don't have to be too cruel when you hit her, as long as you can make her cry."
Zhao Linger quickly said to Fei: "You little girl, you are too presumptuous."
Zhou Zhiruo on the side could only smile awkwardly: "Sister Yu, you are too vindictive. Am I as bad as you say?"
