Zhang Wuji was very surprised by Zhao Min’s words.
He said in disbelief: "With your intelligence, you shouldn't end up with your head and body separated, right?"
Zhao Min laughed and said, "Even Zhuge Liang made mistakes, so who am I?"
"I have killed so many Mongolian nobles. If I retreat outside the Great Wall, they will not forgive me."
"I don't want to die at the hands of my own people, so no matter what, I will not retreat outside the Great Wall."
Zhang Wuji picked up the wine jug in front of him and said, "Miss Zhao, I never thought that you would have such a bad thing."
"I thought that now that you are the empress, you should be able to command all the Mongols. I didn't expect that you are still powerless to do anything about the things outside the Great Wall."
Zhao Min smiled, picked up the wine jug and clinked it with Zhang Wuji's: "Mr. Zhang, there are many things you can't imagine. If the Mongols were really united, the situation would not have developed into what it is today."
"Let's not talk about others, just take Ashilan who came south from the grassland a few months ago. He actually had no good intentions. If I fell into his hands, I might end up in a worse situation than death."
"But fortunately, I have killed him. The method I used to kill him is the same as the one I used to kill Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty."
"After killing him, I also incorporated his army of more than 100,000."
Zhang Wuji laughed and said, "Miss Zhao, your cruelty has never changed."
…
Before they knew it, Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min had been drinking for over an hour.
Under the bright moonlight, Duan Zihao in the Yuan army camp was watching everything here intently. He was afraid that Zhang Wuji would kill him.
Similarly, Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei were also watching Zhao Min's every move.
If there is something slightly wrong, they will rush over immediately.
The drinks were all gone and the food was almost finished.
Finally, Zhao Min said to Zhang Wuji with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, it is still fun to drink with you. When I am with you, I dare to say anything."
"Unfortunately, you and I are on different camps."
"After returning to the city, you should be prepared. Within two days, I will be able to capture your Jinyang."
"When that time comes, I will chop off your head with my own hands."
While laughing and joking, Zhao Min returned to the Yuan army camp.
Duan Zihao hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Zhao Min said: "It's just a drink with Zhang Wuji, what could happen?"
"I have already told Zhang Wuji that I will take Jinyang within two days."
"After he returns to the city, he will definitely order a strict defense."
"After midnight, our army of hundreds of thousands will be transformed from the rear team to the front team and retreat to Longcheng first."
Duan Zihao quickly said: "Your Majesty is wise. Before leaving, he even played a trick on Zhang Wuji."
Zhao Min said: "How can I be wise? If I were really wise, I would not be playing tricks on Zhang Wuji, but would be chopping off his head."
…
On the other side, after Zhang Wuji flew onto the city wall, Yu Fei anxiously asked him: "Young Master, why did you drink with Zhao Min for such a long time? It made me so anxious."
Zhou Zhiruo on the side said sarcastically: "You two, you don't sympathize with each other, do you? If things continue like this, after you capture Zhao Min alive, will you still be willing to let me beat her?"
Zhang Wuji said: "Zhiruo, I keep my word. If one day I can capture Zhao Min alive, her life or death will be entirely up to you."
At this moment, Yang Xiao also came over: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Zhang Wuji said: "It's okay, I'm just having a drink with Zhao Min, what could happen?"
"However, I feel that Zhao Min today seems to be hiding something from me, but I can't tell what it is exactly."
"I vaguely felt a hint of helplessness from her, but at the same time, I also felt that she seemed very confident."
Zhang Wuji glanced at Yang Xiao and said, "General Yang, we need to be more vigilant in the next two days."
"The sentries in the city must also patrol every suspicious corner around the clock."
…
On the way back home, Zhou Zhiruo teased Zhang Wuji: "You and Zhao Min chatted for more than an hour today. I am really puzzled. You two are mortal enemies."
"Have you never thought of killing each other when facing each other?"
Zhang Wuji said: "How come you have never killed anyone, Zhiruo? Have you forgotten that once, Zhao Min got drunk and acted crazy, and she almost killed me when I wasn't paying attention."
"Talking here, more than an hour is not too long, right?"
"When we are together, I always chat with you for two hours."
When Zhou Zhiruo heard this, she almost fell to the ground.
She said shyly: "Zhang Wuji, you are becoming more and more shameless. You didn't just chat with me for two hours, you clearly bullied me for two hours."
Zhang Wuji grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's hand and said shamelessly: "I don't care, as long as we can communicate with each other through language, it can be considered a chat."
"Including what you said to me, those words of begging for mercy, are all considered chatting."
Zhou Zhiruo argued cunningly: "You are talking nonsense. I will never beg for mercy from you, never."
…
That night, just after midnight, Zhao Min's army of hundreds of thousands began to retreat in an orderly manner.
Zhao Min was actually very unwilling to accept this. After all, a month ago, she vowed to flatten Zhang Wuji's Jinyang.
But a month later, they suddenly decided to withdraw their troops.
She glanced at her hundreds of thousands of soldiers, then turned back to look at Jinyang, which was so close.
Zhao Min whispered: "I hope that in this life, I can still return to this place alive."
Duan Zihao on the side said: "Your Majesty, things have come to this point, you must not think too much."
"It is the right choice for you to withdraw your troops now."
"Zhang Wuji has defended Jinyang impenetrably, and he refuses to leave the city to fight you. If we attack by force, we will suffer heavy casualties."
"If this happens, it will only benefit Zhu Yuanzhang in Jiangnan in the end."
Zhao Min sighed helplessly: "Alas..., General Duan, do you still remember the scene when you and I attacked Longping Prefecture and Caizhou?"
Duan Zihao quickly said: "Of course I remember. Thanks to your majesty's bravery, we captured Longping Prefecture and Caizhou in just one day."
"Moreover, when you captured Caizhou, you personally chopped off Guo Zixing's head."
Zhao Min said: "That's right, it only took us one day to attack Longping Prefecture and Caizhou."
"I killed Guo Zixing with my own hands, but now, why has it become like this?"
"I sent my troops on a long expedition, suffered tens of thousands of casualties, but in the end, I didn't achieve anything."
"Have I become incompetent, or is Zhang Wuji too powerful?"
