Yang Xiao and others naturally thought that what Zhang Wuji said made sense.
The fortress is indeed used for defense, but with Zhao Min's personality, she would not choose to sit and wait for death. With hundreds of thousands of troops at her disposal, she is the only one who has to fight others. What is the purpose of her building a fortress?
All the generals looked at each other in bewilderment.
Zhang Wuji asked again: "Can you find out any other information?"
Yang Xiao quickly shook his head: "Your Majesty, at the moment, the spies we sent out can only get this much information."
After a moment of silence, Zhang Wuji said, "Forget it, I'll go and see it myself tomorrow."
Generals such as Yang Xiao were horrified: "Your Majesty, you have just ascended the throne. With your status, you cannot be touched lightly."
Zhang Wuji smiled and shook his head: "My fellow generals, you are all people who have followed me through life and death. You all know my abilities. I am not saying that I am invincible, but if I encounter danger, no one can trap me."
"It's settled. Tomorrow, I will go to the places where Zhao Min built the fortress to take a look."
Yang Xiao and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They knew they couldn't persuade Zhang Wuji.
But at the same time, they also knew that Zhang Wuji had great magical powers. Under his leadership, the Ming Cult had grown from a small sect into a political power, and those who followed him, without exception, became generals leading troops into battle.
After briefly chatting about some trivial matters, Zhang Wuji asked Yang Xiao, "General Yang, how many new troops have we recruited recently?"
Yang Xiao quickly replied: "Your Majesty, we have recruited more than 50,000 soldiers in recent times. Now, the total number of troops under your command has reached about 200,000. This is all thanks to the support of the Queen. If it weren't for the Queen's huge financial support, we would not have recovered so quickly."
"Two hundred thousand?" Zhang Wuji smiled helplessly: "The previous battle with Zhao Min really hurt me badly, and we were almost wiped out."
"I will never allow something like this to happen a second time."
"Right now, Zhao Min's troops are about three times as many as ours, so in the short term, I don't want to have a big war with her."
"We now have only two primary tasks. The first is to strengthen the defense of Jinyang. The second is to continue recruiting new troops and intensify the training of our soldiers."
…
After explaining some trivial matters, Zhang Wuji left the military camp.
As he just walked out of the military camp, he found Zhou Zhiruo walking slowly towards him.
"When you came out, why didn't you call me?"
From the expression on Zhou Zhiruo's face, Zhang Wuji knew that she was a little unhappy.
Zhang Wuji quickly said: "Zhiruo, I just want you to sleep a little longer."
Zhou Zhiruo rolled her eyes at Zhang Wuji and said, "What an excuse! Don't forget, you promised me that I would always follow you, yet you came to the military camp this morning without even telling me."
Zhang Wuji said: "Okay Zhiruo, why are you unhappy about these little things so early in the morning? Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."
Zhou Zhiruo said in a resentful tone: "You want to treat me to dinner again. This time, there won't be any additional conditions, right?"
Zhang Wuji smiled slightly, and Zhou Zhiruo saw his greedy expression clearly.
He said to Zhou Zhiruo, "There are additional conditions, the same as before. Are you willing to agree to them?"
Zhou Zhiruo's face turned red: "I knew you would be like this. Today, I will not let you succeed no matter what I say. If you want to enter my room, it will not be solved with just a meal."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Wuji said, "If that's the case, then forget it. I was originally thinking of taking you out to play for a while, but now it seems that it would be more appropriate for me to bring Zhu'er with me."
"Go out and play for a while?" Zhou Zhiruo's eyes lit up instantly.
"Zhang Wuji, are you telling the truth?"
Zhang Wuji said: "When have I ever lied to you? But I won't take you with me this time."
Zhou Zhiruo quickly said: "How dare you? That stinky girl Zhu'er is no better than me. If you dare not take me with you, I will be really angry."
Zhang Wuji said disdainfully: "Are you angry again? Zhiruo, can you change the way you threaten me? I plan to leave early tomorrow morning. If you are willing to act coquettishly to me and say a few soft words, I might be able to change my mind, but if you choose to be angry with me, I can only take someone else with me."
…
Zhou Zhiruo looked at Zhang Wuji with cold eyes and said, "If you don't want to take me with you, then forget it. I don't want you to take me with me. I'm going home to pack my bags now. I'm going to run away from home. I'm going to make sure you'll never find me."
Zhang Wuji continued, "Okay, go ahead. I originally planned to go out and play for a month. If all goes well, I might even go to Yuandadu to play for a few days. If you don't accompany me, I will really find someone else."
Zhou Zhiruo's body froze there.
She turned her head to look at Zhang Wuji, then, somewhat reluctantly, walked back to his side.
Zhou Zhiruo put her hand on Zhang Wuji's arm.
"Come on, you can treat me to a meal."
Zhang Wuji laughed: "Isn't that right? Then tonight..."
Zhou Zhiruo rolled her eyes at him and said, "How can I stop you? If you want to come find me, just come. I will fight you tonight."
…
Zhou Zhiruo was so happy that she couldn't express it in words. After all, she was just a girl in her twenties. She was almost suffocated by her time in Jinyang City.
