Chapter 349: Retreat



Put me in an unjust position!

Zhao Min said this, but in her heart, she was already beaming with joy.

Looking at the current appearance of Wang Baobao and Duan Zihao, she couldn't help but recall the scene when she mourned for Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty.

Wang Baobao and Duan Zihao are generals under Zhao Min. Naturally, they have countless people supporting them.

These simple-minded generals did not know the meaning of this.

They were just simply joining in the discussion.

Hundreds of generals and commanders surrounding them once again knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

Many generals have begun to grab the swords that King Duan and the other man have placed on their necks.

Seeing this, Zhao Min couldn't help but burst into tears.

"You, you are forcing me."

Zhao Min was the most beautiful woman in the Yuan Dynasty. No one could resist her tears.

At this moment, there were actually people who thought that they were threatening the beautiful Empress.

Seeing this, some people even wanted to change their words.

But Zhao Min would never give them a chance to change their words.

Zhao Min sobbed and said, "You are a bunch of heartless people. There are hundreds of men, but you only bully a little woman like me."

"If I withdraw my troops now, how can I face my ancestors?"

"Well, never mind. Since it is what everyone wants, then as a little girl, I can only go along with you."

"Send a message to the three armies, set out tomorrow morning and retreat back to Longcheng first."

"Other matters will be discussed after we retreat to Longcheng."

Zhao Min turned and left with an unwilling look on her face.

The rest of the people looked at each other in confusion.

After Duan Wang and the other man looked at each other, a smile appeared on their lips.

A moment later, many generals dispersed.

Zhao Min then summoned Generals Duan and Wang to her central military tent.

As soon as they entered, they heard Zhao Min's laughter.

"Hahaha, two generals, I thought you didn't understand what I meant at all a few days ago."

Duan Zihao said: "As a general, you must not only be able to charge into battle, but it is also my duty to understand your majesty's thoughts."

Wang Baobao said: "Your Majesty, this expedition against Zhang Wuji is indeed somewhat inappropriate."

"It is all due to the incompetence of us generals that caused His Majesty to suffer a setback on the battlefield. We are willing to accept the punishment."

Zhao Min laughed and said, "Generals, I will not punish you."

"During this expedition against Zhang Wuji, tens of thousands of people were killed or injured. The responsibility lies entirely with me."

"At the beginning, I thought things were simple."

"I originally thought that I could use an army of 500,000 to flatten the entire Hexi Corridor by force, but who could have imagined that Zhang Wuji would only defend the city to the death and would never leave the city to fight."

"If this kind of battle continues, it will become a war of attrition. Even if my 500,000-strong army can recapture Hexi, it will suffer heavy casualties."

"It's not worthwhile to continue fighting like this."

Duan Zihao said: "Your Majesty, looking across the world, no one can match your wisdom and courage. If it comes to a decisive battle, no one in this world can be your opponent."

"Unfortunately, Zhang Wuji is too cunning. To deal with such an opponent, one really needs to put in some extra effort."

Zhao Min said: "Okay, two generals, today's events are all thanks to you two. We are all family, so I won't say thank you anymore."

"You go back to your camp first and prepare for the withdrawal in secret. After midnight tonight, we will set out from Longcheng one after another."

"But there is one thing you must remember, that is, from Longcheng to Jinyang, the troops we have reserved in those dangerous places should not be moved for the time being."

"In the future, Zhang Wuji will definitely attack me. The more obstacles we set up along the way, the longer we can slow him down."

At this moment, Zhang Wuji and others were standing on the top of Jinyang City.

He asked Yang Xiao beside him, "General Yang, it seems like Zhao Min hasn't made any moves for many days?"

Yang Xiao said: "Indeed, she has been very quiet since the last battle."

Zhang Wuji said: "Zhao Min is a talented person. Her wisdom and martial arts are not inferior to mine."

"Send a message to all the generals, don't be careless. When facing such an opponent, be careful about everything."

Yang Xiao quickly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the soldiers are very careful."

"Zhao Min should not make any moves today. Your Majesty is the supreme ruler and does not need to take the lead in everything. You'd better go back home with the two ladies first. I will report to you at any time if there is any movement."

Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "General Yang is chasing me away again. Well, then I'll leave this place to you."

Zhang Wuji turned and left, while Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei continued to follow closely behind her.

The three of them were walking in the streets and alleys of Jinyang. Yu Fei said with a smile: "Young Master, have you noticed that after Zhao Min has been quiet for a few days, the city of Jinyang has become a little more lively."

Zhang Wuji said: "Yes, if Zhao Min is willing to withdraw her troops, it will be more lively here."

Yu Fei said with a smile: "That's right, if Zhao Min can withdraw her troops, we can also bring my senior sister back. According to the date, she will probably give birth in another month."

"By then, you will have a son."

Zhao Linger's figure suddenly appeared in Zhang Wuji's mind.

He whispered, "Yes, I am going to have a son. After I defeat Zhao Min, I will bring my sister back."

"His Majesty……".

Just as Zhang Wuji and his two companions were strolling around, a voice called him.

Zhang Wuji looked back and said, "Miss Gong, long time no see."

Gong Yu quickly said: "Your Majesty, you are too stingy. Just because my silly sister said a few careless words, you actually ignored me."

"The most infuriating thing is that you actually sent me a pile of gold and silver, and wanted to drive me and my sister away. You are the emperor now, you can't be so stingy."

Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Miss Gong, it's not that I'm stingy, but I really think your sister is right. While you and I can still tell the difference, you'd better stay away from me. If one day we can't tell the difference anymore, it will be difficult to deal with."

Gong Yu smiled and said, "For some things, the more confused they are, the better they are."

"Being able to distinguish them clearly only means that the relationship is not yet solid."

Zhou Zhiruo said: "Miss Gong, whether you can tell the difference or not is not up to you to decide."

Gong Yu quickly said: "Madam Zhou, you are right. I am just a little woman. I can't even be my own master, so how dare I say anything about other things."

"But I came here this time just to apologize to Your Majesty."

"My sister's words that day were indeed hurtful, but I have already taught her a lesson. I hope Your Majesty and the two ladies will not harbor any rifts with me. I, Gong Yu, am devoted only to the Ming Dynasty, and I hope Your Majesty will understand."
