Zhang Wuji looked at Zhu'er. Facing this girl's question, he still had to answer it.
Moreover, even if Zhao Linger and the others didn't ask, they couldn't help but be curious. The reason they didn't speak was simply because they could hold their temper.
Zhang Wuji said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. Zhao Min is cunning by nature and I couldn't capture her."
Zhu'er laughed and said, "It's okay, Brother Wuji, there's nothing to regret. If we fail to capture her this time, there will always be next time. Besides, I heard from my damn father that the more than 100,000 troops outside the city will not last for a few days."
"With the food and grass cut off, and with the heavy rain yesterday, there are probably thousands of Yuan soldiers who have fallen ill."
"Come on, let's eat."
…
Zhang Wuji has successfully returned to the arms of the beauties.
On the other side, Zhao Min also returned to her own military camp.
Without saying much, she returned to her carriage and changed into her own clothes.
During this period, Li Yao only glanced at Zhao Min, then lowered her head with a red face.
Zhao Min asked: "What do you mean? Are you disappointed to see that I'm still alive?"
Li Yao quickly said: "Your Majesty has wronged me, but you, it seems that your virginity has been broken."
Zhao Min was extremely surprised: "You can see this?"
Li Yao said with a look of panic: "Your Majesty, I deserve to die. I spoke too much."
Zhao Min said: "If you can see it, then you can see it. It would be really strange if you can't see it. My body is covered with bruises, and it makes me angry just looking at it."
"But you should also watch your mouth a little more, girl. You should know that trouble comes from the mouth."
Li Yao quickly said: "I know, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Zhao Min pinched Li Yao's chin and said, "You girl, I never thought that one day I would end up like you."
"I lost my virginity because I was forced to do so. Don't think too much of me. At that time, I wanted to die but couldn't."
"I regret having survived by a narrow margin."
"But the fate between you and me is almost coming to an end."
"In a few days, you will go and make a living on your own."
…
A moment later, Zhao Min summoned all the generals under her command to her central military tent.
Zhao Min first gave Han Yulou a reassuring look, and then said to Wang Baobao: "General, how much food and grass are left in the army?"
Wang Baobao said in fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, it is a great blessing for us that you can return safely. But I'm afraid the food and grass in the army will not last for a few more days. If we eat less, maybe we can still hold out for three days. If that doesn't work, we can also kill horses to satisfy our hunger."
Zhao Min said: "Killing horses to satisfy hunger? What a joke. War horses helped us conquer the country. How can we eat their meat?"
..., silence, everyone fell silent.
After a long time, Zhao Min continued: "Generals, the situation has developed to this point today. The responsibility lies entirely with me and has nothing to do with you generals."
"But now, all our territory has been lost. We are left with only a few empty cities. People are about to starve to death, and it will take time to defeat Zhang Wuji. What do you think we should do?"
Wang Baobao took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, now that things have come to this, anyone with a discerning eye can see the current situation of the Yuan Dynasty."
"For now, let's retreat to the grassland and rest for a while."
"After we leave, it won't be long before Zhang Wuji goes to war with Zhu Yuanzhang. Then we will still have a chance."
Zhao Min smiled and said, "General, what you said makes sense, but there are two points you may have overlooked."
"The first is that from the day I came to power, I swore a solemn oath that I would never return to the grassland in my life."
"The northern grasslands do not belong to me. Since I came to power, I have killed countless princes and nobles. I'm sure the people on the grasslands hate me to death."
"So, no matter what, I won't go back."
"Secondly, there is the question of whether Zhang Wuji is willing to let us go back. Our food supplies are cut off, and who knows if he will come after us when we retreat."
"Right now, morale is low. Even if we have more people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight Zhang Wuji head-on."
Wang Baobao sighed and said, "Your Majesty is right, but what else can we do now? We have no food or fodder, and it rained heavily all day yesterday. The soldiers' tents are full of water, and they can't even sleep. In just one day, a large number of them have fallen ill, and medicine is in dire straits."
"Apart from temporarily retreating to the grassland, I can't think of any other solution."
…
silence.
All the situations were within Zhao Min's expectations.
After a long time, Zhao Min finally said, "Yes, yes..."
Zhao Min found it difficult to speak. After thinking for a long time, she finally said, "Let's negotiate with Zhang Wuji, lower your head, and we will plan the future later."
Wang Baobao was horrified, and dozens of other generals were also shocked by these words.
But to Zhao Min's surprise, no one spoke out in opposition.
Zhao Min sneered: "Generals, since you are silent, do you all agree?"
It was not until then that Wang Baobao spoke: "Your Majesty, we, we do not agree, but you said it too suddenly. Has our Yuan Dynasty really reached this point?"
Zhao Min said: "Two days ago, I personally led the soldiers to dig a tunnel and launch a surprise attack on Daxing Prefecture. This was my last effort."
