Duan Zihao and Wang Baobao ate Zhao Min's roasted lamb leg for free.
From beginning to end, the two of them couldn't come up with any good solution.
…
Unlike Zhao Min's melancholy, Zhu Yuanzhang in Jiangnan has been in high spirits in recent days.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang was about to ascend the throne and become emperor.
He set up his capital in Yingtian Prefecture.
Yingtian accepted the mandate and named the country Da Wei.
…
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was in high spirits at the moment, he was not a person who sought pleasure.
Or in other words, among the only three heroes left in the world today, none of them is greedy for pleasure.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Wuji, and Zhao Min, these three people are the kind of people who can endure any hardship and suffer any sin.
Before the world was unified, none of the three of them would seek pleasure.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was not concerned about the imminent enthronement, but he was extremely concerned about the war between Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min.
Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang would receive intelligence reports about the direction of Jinyang.
It may be because they are all Han Chinese.
Zhu Yuanzhang also prayed for Zhang Wuji in his heart.
He prayed that Zhang Wuji could defeat Zhao Min, but at the same time, it would be best if Zhang Wuji could wipe out his entire army.
Only this result is the best for Zhu Yuanzhang.
…
Two days later, Jinyang.
After two days of research, Zhao Min came up with another good idea. Although she seemed to have done nothing on the surface during these two days.
But in fact, she did not let the hundreds of thousands of soldiers under her command sit idle.
The city wall of Jinyang is about four zhang high.
Therefore, Zhao Min planned to build a batch of siege weapons that were taller than the city walls.
It was a troop storage tower with four wheels.
It is divided into multiple floors and can accommodate hundreds of soldiers. There are stairs between each floor for soldiers to climb.
The surroundings were sealed with wooden boards. As long as the soldier tower was pushed to the edge of the city wall and the top porthole was lowered, the soldiers in the tower could easily jump onto the city wall.
Although this thing has not been tested yet, Zhao Min absolutely believes that its efficiency is absolutely correct.
To this end, Zhao Min cut down all the trees within a radius of dozens of miles.
The military craftsmen and countless soldiers were extremely busy.
Zhao Min had been frowning for many days, but today, she rarely smiled.
Wang Baobao and Duan Zihao, who were standing by, also hurriedly smiled apologetically.
Wang Baobao praised Zhao Min: "Your Majesty, you are so wise that you can think of such things. Looking around the world, your wisdom is unmatched."
Duan Zihao also quickly said: "Your Majesty is a woman, but in terms of ambition and courage, you are still the best in the past five hundred years."
After hearing this, Zhao Min laughed out loud: "You two, say this kind of thing more often in the future."
…
Zhao Min brought Wang Baobao and Duan Zihao to the troop storage towers that were under construction.
Zhao Min said to them: "Generals, don't be fooled by the fact that this thing is big and heavy, but it can be divided into three or four layers."
"Each floor can accommodate thirty or forty people."
"Wait a few days, when I have made these things, we will use the catapult to throw a large amount of kerosene and explosives onto the top of the city."
"Then there will be another wave of attack, and I will lead the charge myself."
"Finally, the soldiers will push these troop towers to the foot of Jinyang City."
"Even if you use kerosene to burn this thing, it won't burn down in a short time."
"The tower is covered with wooden boards all around, so tightly that arrows cannot penetrate and oil cannot spill in."
"Once we reach the foot of the city, we will lower the portcullis on the top of the tower. The soldiers inside the tower can then leap lightly to the top of the city."
"Since ancient times, in all sieges, the attackers have always been at the foot of the city, suffering the heaviest casualties. The attackers have had to face arrows flying like locusts in the sky, as well as countless flying stones and kerosene."
"But with this troop storage tower, the casualties will be much smaller."
"With this thing, we can quickly send tens of thousands of soldiers to the city wall."
"As long as we can gain a foothold on the city wall first, the 500,000 troops behind us will be able to surge into Jinyang like a tide."
"When hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting, as long as one side shows the slightest sign of defeat, it can easily develop into an uncontrollable rout."
After saying this, Zhao Min, Wang Baobao and Duan Zihao looked at each other.
Then the three of them burst into laughter.
…
Inside the city.
Zhang Wuji's mansion.
Yu Fei's injuries were not serious to begin with. After two days of treatment, she had recovered almost as well as before.
In recent days, Zhang Wuji has been using his internal energy every day to help Yu Fei regulate her body. In addition, he has been feeding her a lot of nourishing foods such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, which have almost caused her nose to bleed.
One day, Zhang Wuji saw that Zhao Min did not take any action, so he and Zhou Zhiruo returned to their mansion early.
Yu Fei was injured in the past two days, so Zhang Wuji didn't let her stay with him.
However, this well-intentioned gesture made Yu Fei very angry.
She didn't want to stay alone in this empty house without anyone to talk to.
But today, just when Yu Fei had just put on her clothes, Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo came to her.
Yu Fei said in surprise: "Sir, you came back so early. Could it be that Zhao Min is still quiet today?"
Zhang Wuji nodded: "Yes, Zhao Min has been unusually quiet these past two days. The more so, the more I feel that she has some conspiracy."
Zhou Zhiruo also said: "Yes, I also feel that she seems to have some conspiracy, but this time, she is too lazy to even attack the city. I really can't guess what else she can do?"
After thinking for a while, Yu Fei said: "Young Master, Sister Zhou, if you two can't see through it, then General Yang Xiao and General Zhang Dingbian probably can't see through it either, right?"
Zhang Wuji said: "The two of them are just puzzled, but they can't see through the specific things for the time being."
After thinking for a moment, Yu Fei said to Zhang Wuji: "Sir, sometimes, bystanders can see things more clearly. How about we go have another bowl of noodles?"
Zhang Wuji's eyes lit up: "What a good idea. I haven't thanked Miss Gong properly for what happened last time. If I don't go over and say a few polite words for such a great favor, I'm afraid it would be a bit ungrateful."
…
About half an hour later, Zhang Wuji and the other two arrived at Gong Wu's noodle shop.
This pair of sisters never let Zhang Wuji down, they are still playing here.
It was as if the two of them had always been like this, as if they had never changed.
Zhang Wuji and the other two walked up to Gong Yu.
He said to Gong Yu: "Miss Gong, I will never forget your advice. I would like to thank you in advance."
