After Zhang Dingbian took a quick look at the contents of the letter, he rode back to the city at full speed.
But when he reached the outside of the imperial city, he hurriedly tightened the reins in his hands.
Although Zhang Dingbian is a general, he is also a man who knows etiquette. Zhang Wuji is grateful to him for his help, so he has to be more cautious in certain things.
Although Zhang Wuji told him before leaving that he could discuss anything with Gong Yu.
But even though there was a clear order in advance, he was still cautious and careful when meeting Gong Yu, and made sure to be polite.
So as not to give the villain an excuse.
…
At this moment, Dadu still looks a little depressed because it had just experienced war a few months ago.
But this imperial city already looks like the capital of a country.
Outside the gate of the imperial city, Zhang Dingbian respectfully bowed and said to a gatekeeper holding a knife, "Zhang Dingbian wants to see Madam Gong for something."
The man holding a knife and guarding the gate was originally a subordinate of Zhang Dingbian. He was only temporarily sent here to await Gong Yu's orders.
The man holding the knife also hurriedly bowed to Zhang Dingbian and said, "General, please wait here for a moment. I will go and report."
…
About a quarter of an hour later, the man holding the knife came back again: "General Zhang, Madam Gong wants to see you."
Only after hearing the words of the man with the knife did Zhang Dingbian boldly walk into the imperial city.
A moment later, he saw a pregnant woman smiling at him, and next to the pregnant woman, there was another woman supporting her.
The woman with a big belly was Gong Yu. Judging from the time, she would give birth in two months.
The person who supported Gong Yu was Yu Fei.
Zhang Dingbian hurriedly stepped forward and then knelt down respectfully: "I am Zhang Dingbian, the humble general. I pay my respects to Madam Gong and Madam Yu."
Gong Yu waved her hand gently: "General Zhang, please get up quickly. I have a stomachache and it's inconvenient for me to help you."
After Zhang Dingbian stood up, Yu Fei asked him with a smile: "General Zhang, do you have any good news to tell us two women?"
Zhang Dingbian said in panic: "I heard from Madam Yu that His Majesty has already sent the news."
"After nearly three months of silence and rest, Your Majesty is finally going to have a decisive battle with Zhao Min."
After hearing this, Gong Yu and Yu Fei were both delighted.
Gong Yu pointed to a pavilion not far away and said, "General Zhang, don't be in a hurry. If you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk."
Zhang Dingbian said in panic: "I dare not do that. Madam is your Majesty's beloved. If I sit with you, wouldn't it be very rude?"
Gong Yu smiled and said, "I am not a stingy person, and Your Majesty is even less so."
"You and I are old acquaintances. Back then, among hundreds of thousands of people in Poyang Lake, we were the only two who escaped."
"I feel a bit familiar with you, so there's nothing strange about it."
Yu Fei on the side also said: "General Zhang, you don't have to worry about those complicated etiquettes. Come and sit down. If there is anything, we can talk slowly. Otherwise, Sister Gong will have to stand with you with a big belly."
Seeing that both of them said the same thing, Zhang Dingbian had no choice but to follow them to the pavilion about ten steps away.
After the three of them were seated firmly, Gong Yu asked again, "General, what exactly does His Majesty order say?"
"When is the moment of the decisive battle set?"
Zhang Dingbian said: "Your Majesty did not say it clearly. The situation is changing rapidly, and such things cannot be said clearly. However, Your Majesty has asked me to contain the Yuan soldiers in Zhigu Village."
Gong Yu took a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, the outcome will be decided within a month at most. I have the right time, place, and people. Zhao Min's luck is over."
After Gong Yu finished speaking, he and Yu Fei beside him burst into laughter.
The laughter was very wild. If Zhang Dingbian had not known Gong Yu for many years, he would not even believe that the laughter came from Gong Yu's mouth.
After laughing wildly for a while, Gong Yu restrained the expression on his face.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, General. The world will be unified in a few years. After Your Majesty eliminates Zhao Min, Zhu Yuanzhang in Jiangnan will no longer be a concern."
Yu Fei continued, "That's true. Since ancient times, the northern forces have always suppressed the southern forces. Even today, there will be no exception."
"As long as Zhao Min can be eliminated, the world will surely belong to the Ming Dynasty."
Gong Yu took another breath and said, "When does General Zhang plan to leave?"
Zhang Dingbian said quickly: "The army still needs to regroup, and the food supply needs to be redeployed, but the army should be able to set out within two days. However, His Majesty only asked me to contain the Yuan soldiers in Zhigu Village. For other matters, I will deal with them according to the circumstances."
"Does Madam Gong have any advice on this?"
Gong Yu said: "Your Majesty is not in the position to meddle in other people's affairs. Your Majesty is right to do so."
"You can handle the matters on the battlefield yourself."
Zhang Dingbian said: "Madam Gong, don't worry. No matter what method I use, I will not let the Yuan soldiers from Zhigu Village disturb the decisive battle between Your Majesty and Zhao Min."
Gong Yu thought for a moment and said, "It's not enough. This decisive battle is of great importance. Even though I have already determined that Your Majesty will win, I still have to make some preparations."
Zhang Dingbian was puzzled for a moment: "Madam Gong's words make sense, but I don't know what Madam Gong is going to do specifically?"
Gong Yu thought for a moment and said, "General Zhang, can you please allocate a cavalry unit from the army?"
