Wang Baobao saw that Han Yulou took all the responsibility on himself.
He was also feeling very ashamed, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Han. It is all due to my incompetence."
"When you went after those two little bitches, you handed over the command of all the troops to me."
"I should bear the responsibility for missing the opportunity to fight."
"Your Majesty, please punish me."
Zhao Min said helplessly: "Okay, you two should stop taking responsibility."
"I've already said that the responsibility for this matter lies entirely with me and has nothing to do with you."
"Besides, the solution I want now is not to investigate whether you are responsible or not. You all know the current situation. What we lack most now is food and cities."
"We still have 170,000 to 180,000 soldiers and horses in our hands. General Duan of Zhigu Village has been surrounded. Although he can defend Zhigu Village in the short term, it is hard to say in the long run. Even if his cultivation is high, I am afraid he can only escape by himself."
"Now, looking at the entire Yuan Dynasty, the only ones I can count on are you two."
After a moment of silence, Wang Baobaoshuan spoke first: "Your Majesty, it is impossible to turn the tables now by any strategy. In my humble opinion, we still have to continue to have a decisive battle with Zhang Wuji."
Zhao Min frowned: "It's not as easy as you said."
"The scouts just reported that a few days ago, Yang Xiao's troops took back Jinyang when they passed through it."
"Most of the 10,000 soldiers we left there were killed or wounded."
"And at this moment, Zhang Wuji is most likely already in Jinyang City. If I lead my troops to attack again, I'm afraid there will be no possibility of taking it over in the short term."
Han Yulou also sighed and said, "That's true. In the short term, if Zhang Wuji stays in the city and doesn't come out, it will be really bad when our food and supplies run out."
"Since the Han Dynasty, the Hexi region has been unable to support too many soldiers and horses because the land is too barren. If you fight in such a place and lose your support, it is almost equivalent to death."
Wang Baobao continued: "Maybe, maybe there is no need for a decisive battle."
"Nowadays, the number of soldiers and horses under our command is still twice that of Zhang Wuji."
"We can now split our forces into two groups. If we march towards Jinyang immediately, once we reach the city, His Majesty will take charge personally. Mr. Han, you will stay by his side and pretend to have a decisive battle with Zhang Wuji, while I will lead the troops to quickly sweep across Hexi."
Han Yulou frowned, then looked at Zhao Min: "Your Majesty, I think it is feasible."
After thinking for a while, Zhao Min said, "Maybe it's feasible, but it might be better if we make a slight change."
"Master, we can't delay any longer. I have spent too much time recuperating from my injuries these past two days."
"I will lead 50,000 troops and station them outside the city of Jinyang, pretending to have a decisive battle with Zhang Wuji. You two will lead the rest of the troops to bypass Jinyang and then head west. After you capture Daxing first, you will rush back to report to me."
Han Yulou said: "No, there are many masters around Zhang Wuji. If I am not by your side, you may be in danger."
Zhao Min took a deep breath and said, "We may encounter danger, but so what? I am enough to hold Zhang Wuji back. What we lack now is time, food, and a city where we can survive."
"If you two are together, things might go more smoothly."
After thinking about it, Wang Baobao shook his head and said, "No."
"Now Zhang Wuji already knows that Mr. Han has returned to your side. If he doesn't see Mr. Han when you arrive at the city of Jinyang, it will probably arouse suspicion."
"Zhang Wuji is in Hexi. All his generals and elite troops have basically gathered in Jinyang. The defenses in other places must be very weak."
"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be no problem for me to conquer those places alone."
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Min said, "Well, let's do it this way. The rise and fall of the Yuan Empire will depend on this battle again. But now that things have come to this, I don't want to say those passionate words to you."
"Just do your best in everything. The mess of the Yuan Empire is not so easy to clean up. Let's set off towards Jinyang today."
…
Zhao Min didn't dare to waste any more time. In fact, during this period, she had been hiding something from Han Yulou and Wang Baobao. That was that a few days ago, she suffered internal injuries in the fight with Zhao Linger when she was exhausted.
Although it was not fatal, it was not light either. However, in such a critical moment, she did not care about her injuries. If the Yuan Empire was destroyed, there would be no point in her living.
…
Han Yulou and Wang Baobao have already gone to reorganize the troops and prepare to set off again.
But at this moment, Li Yao walked to her side holding Xiao Yuxiao.
Li Yao once again handed back the necklace that Zhao Min had given her.
"Your Majesty, this thing is too valuable. You should take it back. Now that you have won the battle, the situation is not so bad anymore. I will follow you and you just need to provide me with food and drink. I feel uneasy holding such a valuable thing."
Zhao Min looked at Li Yao and smiled: "Girl, there is no reason for me to take back what I gave away."
As she spoke, Zhao Min once again put the precious necklace around Li Yao's neck.
"Girl, you are quite conscientious. The battlefield was very chaotic that day, and I didn't leave anyone to watch you, but you didn't run away. Instead, you came back to me."
"I remember your kindness. The current situation is still not good for me. Although Zhang Wuji suffered a defeat at my hands, the overall situation has not changed much."
"But don't worry, no matter what my fate is, I will find a way to keep you safe."
…
Jinyang, today is Zhang Wuji's first day back here. At this moment, he is still dealing with some trivial matters in the city with Zhou Zhiruo.
But the other two people were secretly scheming against each other because of other things.
Those two people are Zhu'er and Yu Fei.
Just now, Zhu'er said that she hadn't seen Zhang Wuji for a long time, so she was determined to be with Zhang Wuji tonight.
Yu Fei used this as an excuse. She had not been with Zhang Wuji since she was injured in Dadu last time. Therefore, she insisted on being with Zhang Wuji tonight.
They are all sisters. They may be able to give in to each other in other matters, but in this matter, no one is willing to give in to the other.
