Zhang Wuji stared at the sand table for a long time.
Then he said to the generals present: "My fellow generals, Zhao Min's invasion with an army of 500,000 is no joke."
"Zhao Min is not Chen Youliang. It is almost impossible for us to wipe out her 500,000-strong army in one battle."
"Since she has chosen to proceed step by step, then we should also choose to proceed step by step."
Then, Zhang Wuji turned his gaze to Yin Yewang and Wei Yixiao.
"General Yin, General Wei".
The two men answered in unison: "I will be here."
Zhang Wuji said: "We can't put all our eggs in one basket. Whether we can withstand Zhao Min's offensive this time, support is also very important."
"You two generals, lead 50,000 troops and retreat to Daxing, Shaanxi first, to serve as backup."
"The military supplies in our Jinyang city are only enough to last for half a year. If Zhao Min goes crazy and besieges me in the city for half a year, whether I can break out in the end will depend on the team in your hands."
Yin Yewang and Wei Yixiao looked terrified.
King Yin Ye said: "Your Majesty, please let me stay."
Wei Yixiao also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Zhao Min's army of 500,000 is invading now, and it is the time when you need people. How can we leave?"
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "I'm not asking you to leave, I just want you and me to take a step back."
"If you take this step back, you will also leave a way out for our Ming Dynasty."
"The land west of the Yellow River is vast. After you arrive in Daxing, you will need to continue recruiting and training soldiers. As for the movements in Jinyang, you two generals don't need to worry about it for now. When I need you to send troops, I will find a way to notify you."
Zhao Min will be here soon, life or death. At such a critical moment, no man of courage would want to leave.
But just when the two of them wanted to say something, Zhang Wuji said four more words.
"This is a military order."
In the military camp, the word "military order" may be more effective than an imperial edict.
When Zhang Wuji finished saying these four words, Yin Yewang and Wei Yixiao dared not say anything more.
After planning for a day in the military camp, Zhang Wuji called Yin Ye and Wang to his side that night.
He said to King Yin Ye with a smile: "Uncle, those who will retreat to Daxing with you include Zhu'er, Miss Han, and the Queen."
"A war is about to begin, and I can't tell how it will end, but only if the three of them evacuate here first will I be able to have no worries."
King Yin Ye quickly said: "I understand, and I am willing to use my head to guarantee the safety of the three of them."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Uncle, there is no need to be so nervous. After all, you and I are family. There are some things that can only be done by our family."
…
That night, Zhu'er and Han Zhao accompanied Zhang Wuji in going crazy all night long.
Only when the sky began to turn pale did Zhang Wuji let them go.
The sky was gradually getting brighter.
While helping Zhang Wuji change his clothes, Zhu'er asked, "Brother Wuji, you, you seem to be worried about something."
Zhang Wuji nodded and said, "I do have something on my mind, but if I tell you, I'm afraid you'll be sad."
Han Zhao on the side said: "Young Master, just say it boldly. We sisters are not as fragile as you think."
"The war is imminent, and we know what is important and what is not."
Zhang Wuji said: "I, I want you two, and your sister, to leave Jinyang temporarily, and go to Daxing to live for a while."
Zhu'er said aggrievedly: "I knew you would be like this. When we encounter a dangerous situation, you let us go first."
Tears were already welling up in Zhu'er's eyes.
Seeing this, Han Zhao hurriedly comforted Zhu'er, "Miss Zhu'er, I just told the young master that we sisters know what's important. What's more, the young master will be at ease only if we leave. Zhao Min led an army of 500,000. With your and my skills, staying here will not be of any use. It's better for us to leave as soon as possible."
"In this way, you can be relieved of your worries."
Zhu'er knew that Han Zhao was right, and she also knew that Zhang Wuji did this for her own good.
But even so, Zhu'er was still a little sad.
After all, no one knows when this damn war will end.
…
On the other hand, just last night, Yu Fei had already told Zhao Linger the news.
Zhao Linger is a woman who knows the big picture.
She knew that what Zhang Wuji did was right.
After all, she already had a child in her belly, Zhang Wuji's child. No matter what, there couldn't be any accidents.
Early in the morning, when the first ray of sunlight rose, King Yin Ye had already arrived at Zhang Wuji's residence with a team of guards.
Zhang Wuji had almost said all his farewell words to Zhao Linger.
Zhao Linger just smiled slightly: "Don't worry, sir. In the future, I won't think about anything else. I will just be at ease and give birth to our child."
Then, Zhao Linger looked at Zhou Zhiruo and Yu Fei again: "My two sisters, I won't say anything extra. The young master is the king of a country, and his safety cannot tolerate any mistakes."
"During the next period of time, you must protect the young master at all times. Even when you sleep, the three of you must sleep in the same bed."
Yu Fei was feeling a little sad this morning, but Zhao Linger's words made her laugh.
Yu Fei smiled at Zhao Linger and said, "Senior Sister, I don't mind three of us sleeping in one bed, and you don't mind either. I'm just afraid that someone may not be willing."
