Zhang Wuji laughed and said to Zhou Zhiruo, "Zhiruo, I have a very good conscience."
"My heart is all about you. If you don't believe me, just feel it and try it."
Zhou Zhiruo rolled her eyes at him and said, "My dear enemy, it's only just now and you want to take advantage of me again. Do you still have any shame?"
Zhang Wuji pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Zhiruo, you were wrong. It was clearly me who asked you to touch me."
"It was me who wanted you to take advantage of me, but you said I was shameless."
"This is not fair."
"Unfair?" Zhou Zhiruo smiled and said, "So what if it's unfair? As long as you and I are together, I will always be the one who suffers. What's fair or unfair about it?"
"Besides, even if it's really unfair to you, what can you do?"
"You are a grown man, you should be more humble to me and stop bullying me for no reason."
Zhang Wuji was speechless. Faced with Zhou Zhiruo's aggressiveness, Zhang Wuji always chose to swallow his anger.
Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Linger, and Yu Fei almost never win when they quarrel.
But he almost never lost an argument with Zhang Wuji.
As long as Zhou Zhiruo shows that unreasonable spirit, the one who will be defeated in the end will definitely be Zhang Wuji.
…
Zhang Wuji had just reached the gate of the mansion when Zhao Linger and the others came to meet him.
"Sir, dinner is ready and we are waiting for you."
Zhang Wuji smiled and said, "Sister, the dinner you prepare is always just right. As long as I walk to the door, you can serve hot meals."
Zhao Linger smiled and said, "Of course, this is a woman's duty."
At the dinner table, Zhou Zhiruo brought up a topic and said to the sisters present: "Zhang Wuji is facing some troublesome problems now."
"The sisters are not outsiders."
"Can you tell me how Zhang Wuji should respond to Liu Bowen the day after tomorrow?"
Zhou Zhiruo has always been a rather special existence.
There were some things that, unless she started it first, it would be hard for others to speak up. Even Zhao Linger was the same.
However, since Zhou Zhiruo had already started, the other women began to speak freely.
Zhu'er was the first to speak: "I don't think it's a big deal, although I don't know much about military and political matters."
"But I know that it would be very difficult to eliminate Zhao Min with our current strength."
"So I think it's okay for Zhao Min to unite with Zhu Yuanzhang and destroy the Mongols in one fell swoop."
"As for what happens in the future, we'll talk about it later."
"Even if we really fight with Zhu Yuanzhang in the end, I absolutely believe that my brother Wuji can defeat Zhu Yuanzhang."
Han Zhao also said: "I think that no matter what decision you make, it will be correct."
"Because you are a man who listens to advice, every decision you make carries the hearts and minds of the vast majority of people."
"So, no matter what you do, it is right."
After Zhu'er and Han Zhao expressed their opinions, Yu Fei said, "I also think that it's okay even if we unite with Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Today, Zhao Min still has hundreds of thousands of troops at her disposal."
"I have already experienced her abilities."
"I should say something that I shouldn't say. With Zhao Min's ability and the troops under her command, if we use our current strength, we will definitely not be able to pacify it in the short term."
"But if we unite with Zhu Yuanzhang, we may be able to destroy Zhao Min within two years."
"As for what happens in the future, it will be nothing more than a fight to the death with Zhu Yuanzhang."
"I absolutely do not believe that you will be defeated by Zhu Yuanzhang."
After the three women expressed their opinions.
Zhang Wuji then turned his gaze to Gong Yu, the most honest person.
He said to Gong Yu, "Miss Gong, you are a talented woman. Please tell me what you think."
Gong Yu smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, let me tell you my humble opinion."
"I think Zhu Yuanzhang is a far greater threat than Zhao Min."
"The Mongols have long been unpopular, and their demise is only a matter of time. When it comes to dealing with the Mongols and Zhao Min, we have the right time, place, and people. We have it all."
"Even if you don't join forces with Zhu Yuanzhang, I believe that with your majesty's ability, you will be able to overthrow the Mongols within five years."
"Of course, if we join forces with Zhu Yuanzhang to fight against the Mongols, even if Zhao Min had three heads and six arms, she could only last two years, which would be her limit."
"But two years later, when we face Zhu Yuanzhang, it will be hard to say."
"In the future, there can only be one emperor."
"And that emperor, if not Your Majesty, must be Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Zhu Yuanzhang has now firmly established his position in the south of the Yangtze River. His population and finances are about five times ours."
"If Your Majesty and Zhu Yuanzhang jointly attack Zhao Min, our strength will be greatly depleted during the two years of fighting against Zhao Min."
"Given the population and finances of Hexi, it is difficult to replenish the manpower and material resources consumed previously in the short term."
"Looking back at Jiangnan, it's a different story. Jiangnan is so rich that Zhu Yuanzhang's reserve supply capacity in three to five years should be more than twice his consumption capacity."
"That is to say, in the war with Zhao Min, if Zhu Yuanzhang lost a soldier, he could quickly replenish two."
"Therefore, if Your Majesty wants to unify the world, the best way is to let Zhao Min fight Zhu Yuanzhang first."
"Wait until the two of them have finished fighting, then you can take action."
Zhang Wuji sighed and said, "Miss Gong, you are right, but what if I don't send troops together with Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Is it possible that he would take the initiative to provoke Zhao Min, allowing me to take advantage of him?"
Gong Yu glanced at Zhang Wuji and said firmly: "There is such a possibility."
"Zhu Yuanzhang now occupies all the land of abundance. Among his generals, there are no less than six or seven of the same caliber as Zhang Dingbian."
"Even if you don't join forces with him, he may not be able to bear it."
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Linger: "Sister, tell me what you think."
Zhao Linger said softly: "Young Master, for the current situation, Zhao Min's Mongolian Yuan Dynasty is still there, which may be the most beneficial to us."
"As long as the Mongols are still around, there will be no geographical conflict between us and Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Among all the rebel kings in Jiangnan, most died at the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang in the near future."
"That is to say, there is Xuzhou and Longcheng between us and Zhu Yuanzhang. Otherwise, given Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament, he might not attack Zhao Min first, but you."
