"Attacked from both sides?" Zhao Min sneered.
"Guo Zixing is no longer what he used to be. Among all the rebel kings in the world, Guo Zixing was the first to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty."
"But look at it now. Guo Zixing's territory was like this twenty years ago, and it is still like this now."
"Time has long worn away his courage and ambition, and the generals under him may not all wish him well."
"Especially since he had just surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang not long ago, if Guo Zixing didn't die in my hands, he would die in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands sooner or later."
"While Zhu Yuanzhang has not yet taken over my body, I want to try my best to consume the troops under Guo Zixing's command."
Zhao Min asked Wang Baobao again: "Where is Zhu Yuanzhang now?"
Wang Baobao quickly pointed at Hezhou on the sand table.
"Hezhou," Zhao Min smiled slightly.
"Well, this time I led the army, rushed thousands of miles from Dadu, first captured Zhang Shicheng's Longping Prefecture, and then turned here."
"Let the army rest for a day first. One day later, I will lead an army of 80,000 and take a detour to attack Caizhou directly."
"I just don't believe that when I was attacking Caizhou, there was anyone so blind as to stab me in the back."
…
The army led by Zhao Min rested in place for a day and a night.
After eating and drinking, she mounted her warhorse again.
The moment she put on the golden mask, she became the supreme god of war in the hearts of the Yuan soldiers.
Since Zhao Min took command of the army, she has never been defeated. To this day, as long as she is there, the Yuan soldiers believe that they are invincible.
…
The 80,000 troops led by Zhao Min bypassed Zhu Yuanzhang's residence.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw this clearly.
However, he said nothing and did nothing, pretending to know nothing.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang had to do this, because Zhao Min’s strength now far exceeds that of Zhu Yuanzhang.
If Zhu Yuanzhang dared to make Zhao Min angry, Zhao Min might kill him first.
Liu Bowen beside Zhu Yuanzhang bowed and said: "Congratulations, Marshal, now the great thing has been accomplished."
"As soon as Guo Zixing loses Caizhou, there will be no one in the Jianghuai area who is qualified to give you orders."
"Old man Guo Zixing has been working hard here for decades, and the grain and taxes have always been very stable."
"As long as you can take over this piece of land, you may be able to reach the top of the world within ten years."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I know what you said is reasonable, but what should I do if the Empress Dowager of the Yuan Dynasty, after destroying Guo Zixing, turns back to attack my Hezhou?"
"This is not Buliang Mountain. When the time comes, you will have nowhere to run."
Liu Bowen laughed and said: "You are worrying too much, Marshal. The Yuan Dynasty is now in a turbulent time. It won't be long before other rebel kings will appear and cause trouble again."
"At that time, the Empress Dowager of the Yuan Dynasty will naturally withdraw her troops."
"The leader of the Ming Cult seized Xuzhou some time ago. Xuzhou is much more valuable than Hezhou under our feet. More importantly, the leader of the Ming Cult is not a peaceful person."
"I believe that he will take the next step soon."
"The leader of the Ming Cult, Zhang Wuji." Recently, every time Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this name, he would feel a headache.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know why, but he always felt that Zhang Wuji would be a big worry for him in the future.
…
Before Zhao Min rushed to Caizhou, she divided Wang Baobao's army of more than 100,000 into three parts.
They confronted Guo Zixing's rebels in Hezhou, Yinchuan, and Dongling City respectively.
By doing this, Zhao Min basically ensured that there would not be any major changes behind the scenes when she attacked Caizhou.
…
Zhao Min was busy attacking Caizhou, and Zhang Wuji in Xuzhou had also begun to gather his troops.
Since he captured Xuzhou, he has expanded his army to nearly 50,000.
Under Zhang Wuji's arrangement, he led 30,000 people to attack Longcheng. Just as he said, as long as he could capture Longcheng, half of Hebei would become his territory.
Only with Longcheng as a backup can Xuzhou be stable.
…
The general who stayed behind in Xuzhou this time was Yin Yewang. Zhang Wuji left him 20,000 troops, but these 20,000 troops were all new troops.
Just like last time, Zhang Wuji took almost all the elite troops with him on this expedition.
Before leaving, Zhang Wuji left Han Zhao in Xuzhou.
In response, Han Zhao just smiled slightly. Zhang Wuji wanted to explain something, but Han Zhao quickly covered his mouth.
"Sir, I don't have the abilities of Miss Zhou and Miss Zhu'er. You were right to keep me in Xuzhou."
"If I go with you to war, I will only become a burden to you."
"But you must remember, when you capture Longcheng, you must take me over as soon as possible. I'm still waiting. You have two hours to make me beg for mercy."
Han Zhao's last sentence almost broke Zhang Wuji's defense.
For such a long time, Zhou Zhiruo and Zhu'er had begged him for mercy, but only Han Zhao, no matter how Zhang Wuji slept with her, she acted as if nothing had happened the next day.
This was a huge blow to Zhang Wuji's heart.
He touched Han Zhao's face and said: "Don't worry, the next time we are together, there will be no time limit, until one of us kneels down and begs for mercy."
Han Zhao smiled when he heard this: "Then I will wait for you, sir. Don't let it happen when I don't feel anything and you can't do it anymore."
Zhang Wuji was shocked. His dignity as a man had never been trampled upon like this before.
When he saw the provocative expression on Han Zhao's face, he had already secretly sworn in his heart, "Next time, next time I will never let this girl off easily."
…
An army of 30,000 set out on the expedition. This time, Zhang Wuji did not let Zhou Zhiruo and Zhu'er accompany him and suffer the hardship on horseback.
Zhang Wuji prepared a particularly luxurious carriage for the two of them.
Since the last attack on Xuzhou, who in the entire Ming Cult, or all the soldiers under Zhang Wuji's command, would dare to think that these two women were just pretty faces?
Hundreds of souls died under Zhou Zhiruo's sword, and Zhu'er also followed the group of men and charged forward.
The two of them, women who are as brave as men, have been engraved in the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies.
…
In the carriage, Zhu'er and Zhou Zhiruo stared at each other. At the beginning, they were very grateful to Zhang Wuji for being so thoughtful.
But after just two hours, they both couldn't stand it anymore.
Although the carriage was comfortable, it was also quite boring.
Finally, it was Zhu'er who said: "Sister, why don't we go out for a horseback ride? This carriage is nice, but it's too boring in there. There's nothing for us two to do here except bickering."
After thinking for a while, Zhou Zhiruo nodded: "I also feel that a carriage is not suitable for me. I am used to suffering in my life. I feel uncomfortable in such a luxurious carriage."
