After sending Yang Xiao away, Zhang Wuji fell into deep thought.
There are many things that are different from what he thought, and the biggest variable among these things is Zhao Min.
Zhang Wuji never underestimates himself, but he also never acts arrogantly.
Judging from the current situation, he himself is insignificant.
Although the Yuan Empire had declined, it still had nearly one million soldiers and horses.
When these soldiers and horses are gathered together, they can move mountains and fill the sea.
The remaining rebel kings each had an army of over 100,000 or 200,000 soldiers, or even more.
As for his own side, he had just recruited 10,000 new soldiers. Even if the original disciples of the Ming Cult were included, there were only about 15,000 people.
This number of people is really too few.
Just when Zhang Wuji was feeling distressed, Zhou Zhiruo walked in quietly.
She sat down gently beside Zhang Wuji.
"What are you thinking about? You look so worried."
Zhang Wuji gently lifted her snow-white hand.
Zhou Zhiruo quickly looked around, and when she saw that there was no one around, she let him go.
Zhang Wuji said as he played with Zhou Zhiruo's hand.
"I'm thinking about the current situation. Our power is still too small. If we don't grow stronger quickly, we will be destroyed sooner or later."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled slightly and said, "I heard that Zhang Shicheng's men came to find you. So what are you worried about now, whether Zhang Shicheng will attack first, or the Yuan court's troops will attack first?"
After thinking for a while, Zhang Wuji said, "I feel that they won't start with me."
"There are too many rebel kings in the Yuan Dynasty. The court should take the lead in dealing with those difficult ones."
"If not, after Zhao Min burned down Buliang Mountain not long ago, she should have directly led her troops to attack Guangmingding."
"But she didn't do that. She asked Wang Baobao to lead the troops and chase Zhu Yuanzhang at all costs."
"Therefore, in the eyes of Zhao Min, or in the eyes of the Yuan court, the threat we pose at the moment is not that great."
"As for Zhang Shicheng, it goes without saying that even though he failed to win me over, he will not turn his sword against me right away."
"What I'm worried about now is what we should do next. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight is absolutely not an option."
"When the other rebel kings become more powerful, or when the Yuan court comes to its senses, we will suffer sooner or later."
"I want to grab some territory now, but I don't know where to start."
Zhou Zhiruo smiled slightly and said, "Brother Wuji, it has been less than two months since we met again, and you have taken control of the Ming Cult and recruited more than 10,000 new troops. Among the many rebel kings, you are growing the fastest."
"As for what you said about too few soldiers and too small territory, just continue to recruit soldiers and go out to rob."
Zhang Wuji smiled slightly and said, "Zhiruo, you are really open-minded. Fighting for territory can lead to death."
Zhou Zhiruo rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's not that I'm too optimistic, but the world is just like this."
"When I was in Emei, I was bullied for ten years. Although I am a woman, I have seen through many things."
"If you are weak, you will be beaten. If you don't want to be beaten, you must fight back first. The world has become so chaotic. There are no innocent people, not even civilians."
After saying these words, Zhou Zhiruo used the index finger of her other hand to poke Zhang Wuji's chest hard.
"Brother Wuji, what you are aiming for is too big, so you must be ruthless. As long as you can become the emperor, all the killings in the past can be made up for in other ways."
"But if you lose, everything you see will vanish into thin air. Your Ming Cult, the new army you just recruited, even me and that little vixen Zhu'er, will all be destroyed without a burial place. Do you understand?"
Zhou Zhiruo never asked about anything related to the Ming Cult. In fact, deep down, she just wanted to be Zhang Wuji's woman.
But today's Zhou Zhiruo is an exception.
She taught Zhang Wuji a lesson with just a few short sentences.
Just as she said, the world has become so chaotic that there are no innocent people anymore.
Zhang Wuji said to her seriously: "Zhiruo, don't worry, I will remember what you said."
Zhou Zhiruo pulled her hand out of Zhang Wuji's palm, and in a short while, her snow-white jade hand was rubbed into rouge red by Zhang Wuji.
Zhou Zhiruo stood up and said to him, "You spent last night with that little vixen Zhu'er. If you dare not come back tonight, I will break your legs tomorrow."
Zhang Wuji smiled obscenely: "Zhiruo, this is why you came to me, right? Then you must be prepared tonight. Don't be like last time, when you started begging for mercy before I was done."
…
Zhou Zhiruo cursed him as shameless and walked away.
After Zhou Zhiruo left, Zhang Wuji came to a map.
The main reason why Zhang Wuji didn't ask much about the recruitment of new troops these days was that he put all his energy on this map.
During these days, Zhang Wuji has been thinking about moving the Ming Cult's headquarters down from Guangmingding.
If you want to conquer the world, you can't just stay on one mountain.
Zhou Zhiruo's words today gave Zhang Wuji great encouragement. It was this encouragement that enabled him to lock onto a place on the map that he had not dared to think about in the past few days.
Xuzhou.
Xuzhou is more than 400 miles away from Guangmingding. Wang Baobao, a first-rank general of the Yuan Dynasty, used Xuzhou as his support when he confronted Zhu Yuanzhang.
