Zhao Min not only wanted to delay time, she also really wanted to persuade Tang He to surrender.
But Tang He had once begged for food with Zhu Yuanzhang, so how could he be persuaded to rebel with just a few words from Zhao Min?
Tang He still shook his head: "Surrender, surrender is impossible. If anyone should surrender, it should be you. You have experience in this kind of thing. Anyway, this is not the first time you have surrendered."
Zhao Min smiled helplessly: "What the general said makes sense, but after all, I have also been an emperor. If someone like me surrenders twice, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?"
Their eyes met.
Tang He felt somewhat helpless. After all, the person before him was Zhao Min, who was and still is invincible.
"General Tang, I still have some patience with you. You have to think carefully about what I say. If you wait until the army behind me recovers its strength, I'm afraid you will end up like Xu Da and others."
You saw it on the top of Changsha City. I locked the four of them in a cage. It was so uncomfortable.
…
In Xinwu City, Zhu Yuanzhang was already standing on the top of the city wall. Looking around, he saw that Zhao Min had indeed led the troops to retreat.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully: "Tang He was the one who asked me for food in the past."
"He is still loyal, but after he led his troops on a march of hundreds of miles, how much combat effectiveness can be left among his soldiers?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's mind was spinning rapidly: "Pass the order down, the soldiers at the city gate, continue to fight with Zhang Wuji for the time being, and the rest of the soldiers will follow me out of the city from the south gate. Now that Zhao Min is gone, we have the advantage in military strength. After leaving the city, we will first get behind Zhang Wuji and eliminate him, and then we will attack Zhao Min from both sides with Tang He. As long as we can eliminate the two of them, the world will be ours."
…
Zhu Yuanzhang's decision was right. He was able to go from being a beggar to where he is today, which naturally shows that he has his own abilities. The difficulty of his rise to power is so great that he can be said to be the first person in history.
Under the city, at Yu Fei's place, even if she wanted to do something now, she could do nothing. After all, Zhao Min only left her two thousand people. As for Zhang Wuji, he had to rely on absolute military force to block the Wei army that wanted to leave the city for a decisive battle.
She was a little panicked. She wished she could switch places with Zhou Zhiruo. If she could, then she would only need to stay by Zhang Wuji's side and kill people. There would be no need for her to be so at a loss.
However, at this moment, the scout left by Zhao Min ran towards her. The scout did not see Zhao Min, but recognized Yu Fei. After all, a normal man would never forget a beautiful woman like them after just one look.
The scout didn't know how to address Yu Fei, so he could only call her "Your Majesty": "Your Majesty, Zhu Yuanzhang led a large army out of Xinwu City from the south gate and was about to take a detour here. We don't know how many people there are, but judging from the momentum, it seems like they are coming out in full force."
Yu Fei frowned and said, "If Zhu Yuanzhang really wants to do this, I only have two thousand soldiers available. How can I possibly resist Zhu Yuanzhang's full force?"
Zhao Min took out two gold coins from her arms: "Thank you for your hard work, brother. Sister Min'er's army is probably a few miles behind me, no more than ten miles away. Tell her about the situation here. These two gold coins are a reward from the queen."
Yu Fei was very satisfied with the title of "Empress". Just these two words were worth these two gold coins.
Afterwards, Yu Fei came to Zhang Wuji.
"Young Master, Zhu Yuanzhang has already led most of his troops out of the city from the south gate and will be here soon."
Zhang Wuji frowned, but Zhou Zhiruo beside him said, "Why didn't you stop him?"
Yu Fei quickly said, "Sister Zhou, please don't be angry with me."
"Before Sister Min'er left, she only left me two thousand soldiers. There are three gates on the four sides of Xinwu except yours. I only have two thousand soldiers. How can I stop them?"
Zhang Wuji said: "It is indeed impossible for two thousand people to guard the three city gates. It is right for Miss Yu to leave her two thousand soldiers here."
Zhou Zhiruo said: "What should we do now?"
Zhang Wuji said: "I don't know if Min'er has started a fight yet. We should fight and retreat at the same time. As long as we don't let Zhu Yuanzhang surround us and kill us, we can hold on for a while. I believe Min'er will be able to deal with Tang He's reinforcements soon. At that time, as long as Min'er comes back to help, Zhu Yuanzhang will not be able to make much waves."
…
As for Zhao Min, she has returned to her own soldiers.
Zhao Linger said: "Sister, how is it?"
Zhao Min smiled and said, "Just as I expected, even though I sincerely persuaded Tang He to surrender, he did not intend to surrender."
"What should we do then?" Zhao Linger continued to ask.
Zhao Minyan said: "It doesn't matter. If it really doesn't work, we can just fight."
"We have more soldiers than anyone else, and one charge can defeat Tang He's more than 20,000 men."
…
After an unknown amount of time, the scout sent by Yu Fei finally arrived beside Zhao Min.
"General, Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops out of the city from the Xinwu South Gate. I believe they are now entangled with your Majesty's troops."
Zhao Min frowned: "Damn it, what I fear will come true, I have no choice but to fight."
Zhao Linger said a little nervously: "Sister Min'er, what should we do?"
Zhao Min said: "Why are you panicking? You are the queen, stay calm."
Then Zhao Min said to the scout, "Go back to Zhang Wuji and tell him that if Zhu Yuanzhang is too powerful, he should retreat, but if he can hold out for a while, buy some time for me."
Zhao Linger came from a merchant family and was habitually willing to reward others.
She casually threw two gold coins to the unknown scout: "Go and pass the message quickly."
It was the first time in the scout's life that he had seen gold, and he got four gold coins in one day. With so much money, it was enough to buy land, build a house, and marry a wife. How could he not work hard?
As soon as the scout turned around and left, Zhao Min drew the Yitian sword in her hand and said, "Soldiers, I know you are tired, but the Wei army has just rushed for more than a hundred miles, and they are just a spent force. Tang He is ungrateful. I just gave him a chance to surrender, but he didn't know how to cherish it."
"The land under heaven will eventually belong to the Ming Dynasty. Show your swords and guns and let these bastards see our courage."
"kill".
