Zhou Zhiruo said angrily: "Who wants to live with you? Who wants to live with you? Don't think you are so important. No one of the sisters here takes you seriously."
When Zhao Min heard this, her expression changed immediately, and Zhang Wuji quickly gave Zhou Zhiruo a look that told her to shut up.
After receiving this look, Zhou Zhiruo retorted to Zhang Wuji without giving in: "Hmph, you have changed. You only know how to side with Zhao Min. You were not like this before."
"What's so good about this Mongolian vixen? She tried to kill you many times, especially when you first met. The long sword mark on your back was her work. If she hadn't protected you and carried you so far, you would have died long ago."
"How many days has this Mongolian fox been married to you? Since you have even forgotten me, your wife through thick and thin, your actions really break my heart."
Zhang Wuji was speechless after being blamed: "Zhiruo, you, I, I didn't say anything, I just wanted everyone to unite."
Zhou Zhiruo still snorted coldly: "Hmph, who wants to unite? I don't want to unite with this Mongolian vixen. I will fight her to the death."
Zhang Wuji felt helpless: "Zhiruo, you are here again. You and Min'er have experienced life and death together on the battlefield. If you two continue to fight to the death, then I will not be able to live anymore. Stop it."
Zhao Linger also tried to persuade her, "Sister Zhiruo, don't be so tough. If you always act like this, it will be very difficult for the young master."
"If you really have something against Min'er, why don't you find a place where no one is around after dinner and have a one-on-one fight with her? That way, you both can vent your anger and it's the best of both worlds."
After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo glared at Zhao Linger and said, "You, you are taking sides. As the queen, you can't do this."
Zhao Linger pretended to be innocent and said, "Sister Zhiruo, look at what you said. How did I take sides? The method I said is so fair. If I were in your place, I would go back and fight Sister Miner one-on-one, to the death."
Zhou Zhiruo was so angry that she was speechless: "Hmph, Zhao Min is annoying enough, and now you, the queen, are trying to take sides. Zhang Wuji is not on my side either. It seems that there is no place for me here anymore. I'm going back to Beijing and I don't want to play with you anymore."
Zhou Zhiruo really stood up and was about to leave, but at this moment, Yu Fei grabbed her and said, "Sister Zhou, who said no one is on your side? You still have me, I am on your side."
Afterwards, Yang Buhui, Wei Xiangjun, and Su Tanmei hurried over to persuade Zhou Zhiruo.
When there is a quarrel, there must be someone to mediate. Otherwise, the weaker party will lose face.
This is the situation of Zhou Zhiruo at the moment. If no one comes to persuade her, she will be embarrassed and the matter will get worse and worse.
After much persuasion, several people forced Zhou Zhiruo to sit on the stool.
At this time, Zhao Linger also tactfully gave Zhao Min a wink.
Zhao Min was such a smart person that she naturally knew that Zhao Linger meant for her not to continue to add insult to injury.
After all, Zhao Min's overall view is better than Zhou Zhiruo's. Noisy things are necessary, but they are not all of her life. Her next target is Zhu Yuanzhang. As for Zhou Zhiruo in front of her, she is just a pastime in her spare time and at most an appetizer.
…
After breakfast, Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min continued to summon the generals in the central military tent.
A huge map was placed in front of Zhao Min, and Zhao Min smiled and picked up a bamboo pole.
She first pointed to the position of her army with a bamboo pole, and then roughly pointed to another direction: "Generals, you have seen it, right?"
"This is where we are now, and that is probably where Zhu Yuanzhang is now."
"Because of the Japanese, most of our troops and Zhu Yuanzhang's troops are still trapped in the southeastern coastal area."
"This is very beneficial to us, because Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic mistakes have led to a power vacuum in the entire Jiangnan region."
"Most cities in Jiangnan can be easily captured with only 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses."
"I suggest that we wait for an opportunity to have a decisive battle with Zhu Yuanzhang. Even if we cannot win completely, it doesn't matter if we both suffer losses, because Zhu Yuanzhang's strategic mistakes have left him with little room for maneuver."
"But we still have plenty of strategic space to utilize."
"Also, send a message to Dadu immediately, no, it should be called Beijing now, and ask Beijing to send out a troop no matter what. The number of troops does not need to be too large, 50,000 is best. If 50,000 cannot be mobilized, 30,000 will also be fine."
"Then let the troops go south as quickly as possible, sweep through those towns with poor defenses, and plant the banner of Ming in the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River as soon as possible."
…
None of the generals present objected to Zhao Min's deployment. Most of them were defeated by Zhao Min. In terms of troops, martial arts, or the overall situation of the world, they were no match for the former empress of the Yuan Dynasty. What's more, Zhang Wuji had already obeyed her every word, so naturally, they could not express any opinions, and they could not express any good opinions.
In the following time, Zhao Min sent scouts to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's army, while leading his own troops to follow closely behind. From beginning to end, he kept a distance of about two hundred miles from Zhu Yuanzhang's army, neither far nor close. If there was a good opportunity for battle, the cavalry could arrive in one day, and if the infantry marched quickly, they could arrive within two days.
…
Half a month later.
In the city of Beijing, at this moment, it is most likely that Gong Yu is in charge of the city. Although her talent is not as good as Zhao Min, and her cultivation is far behind, she has followed Chen Youliang for many years after all, and Dumu Ran also has some experience in governing the country.
At this moment, Zhu'er and Han Zhao were surrounding Gong Yu.
"Sister Gong, Brother Wuji has been fighting in the south of the Yangtze River for half a year. Not long ago, he wiped out Xu Da. The world should be settled soon. Let's send troops to help Brother Wuji."
Gong Yu also said happily: "Send troops, of course we have to send troops, but this is not a simple matter."
"When Your Majesty went on the expedition to the south of the Yangtze River, he almost mobilized all the troops in the north. Even in the base camp in Hexi, there were only a small number of troops guarding it."
"As for our Beijing city, when His Majesty left, he only left behind a few thousand soldiers."
Zhu'er said: "Indeed, when my brother Wuji left, he was determined to burn his boats and cross the river. Even if there were some troops in the north, he arranged them in the base camp in Hexi. The troops in Beijing were indeed pitifully few."
"But, we haven't been idle during the six months that Brother Wuji has been away."
"Aren't we also recruiting soldiers? We can still mobilize 30,000 troops."
