Zhao Min muttered: "I have also considered this situation, but the daily food and salary required by an army of 10,000 people is not a small amount, not to mention that there are hundreds of thousands under my father's command. Even if they were to go on a different route, they would not notice it at all. ”

At this time, Zhao Min frowned slightly, and she said: "The most important thing is that the current winter is upright, which is the time when people are short of food and horses are short of forage. However, the land in Khorezm is desolate, and it is difficult to be self-sufficient, and it cannot be prepared on time for winter like the Central Plains and grasslands. ”

"And along the way, I have inquired, and my father has not purchased these supplies. In this case, there are only two explanations, that is, they had set up a grain road post before, and they could get the grain and grass of the place every time they traveled. ”

Zhang Wuji also understood at this time, and he said: "Either they don't have that many people at all." If it is the second possibility, then where did all the soldiers and horses under the command of the prince go? Even if people can starve, then the war horses can't stand it. And if an army was reduced to the point of slaughtering horses to feed their hunger, it was impossible for them not to buy or plunder food in nearby towns. ”

Zhao Min also lay beside Zhang Wuji, and then said, "This is what I'm worried about." If it's the first case, then I'm overthinking. But it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on everything. If it is really unfortunate and the second is true, then we can hurry back and recover the loss as much as possible. ”

"We went from the Central Plains to Persia, although it was a light car and a quick horse, but now it has been more than a year. If time is calculated, the side of the Taishi of Tokhtar should have recovered from the past defeats, or the princes of the Central Plains have begun to move. ”

Zhang Wuji also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Because the short-term peace in the Central Plains is now maintained under Zhang Wuji's "Mingzun halo". It's just that the two sides have just experienced a big war, and they can't afford to fight anymore, so they just take a break to recuperate.

Now that they have been out for more than a year, counting the time to go back, this time it took them nearly two years.

Two years is enough for the grain in Jiangnan to be ripe for four years. After returning to Middle-earth, both the Yuan court and the Central Plains feudal domains have definitely recovered their vitality.

If King Ruyang took advantage of his absence in the Central Plains to spread the news, or even spread the news that he was dead, and the Bianliang throne was just a puppet, then Mingzun's deterrent power would be directly dismantled.

Not to mention that the rebel armies of all walks of life in the Central Plains will lose their fighting spirit and confidence, and the Mongol army can even be overwhelming.

If it was just the gains and losses of one city and one place, Zhang Wuji didn't care very much.

The important thing is his status as the "co-master of the world", if the news of his absence in the Central Plains is disseminated, then it will definitely be used by people with ulterior motives.

said that he was dead, and the previous covenant made by the princes of Butterfly Valley was directly nullified. At that time, the various princes will lose control, and even fight for the position of the leader of the alliance or other land resources. Some people will even directly accept the appeasement of the Yuan court, so as to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

At present, the main force of the Yuan court has not been destroyed, and if the princes of the Central Plains annex each other at this time, then all the previous efforts will be in vain.

Then there are only two endings waiting for Zhang Wuji, either retreat to the Western Regions and be his emperor in the Western Regions, just like the Western Liao back then.

Either accept the appeasement of the Yuan court and become the lord of Jiangnan like Zhao Gou. Be a child emperor.

Although Zhang Wuji still did not lose the throne in the end no matter what the situation, if he wanted to fight for the world again in the future, I am afraid that it would have to wait until twenty or thirty years later.

Although Zhang Wuji had enough time to wait for the second great change in the world, he did not have that patience.

Zhang Wuji said at this time: "Minmin, your concerns are justified. ”

Zhang Wuji shouted loudly to the yellow-shirted woman and others on the other side of the screen at this time: "Sister Caiwei, Dragon King!" After everyone is done, we will rest for the night, and we will leave immediately tomorrow morning. ”

When all the women heard Zhang Wuji's words, they were all stunned.

According to what everyone has discussed before, after coming to Alicheng, everyone will relax and play here for three days.

But hearing Zhang Wuji say this, Dai Qisi asked, "Sect Master, is something wrong?" ”

Zhang Wuji replied: "I'm not sure yet. In short, Min Min felt that something was not right, and in order to be prepared, we should rush back to the Central Plains as soon as possible. After returning to the Central Plains, if there is nothing to do, it will be the best. But if something happens, then we can do our best to make up for the loss. ”

Yin Li lost his temper at this time, and then squatted directly in the pool, splashed a splash, and said, "Brother Wuji is so untrustworthy. What else do you say, there is no joke? ”

Dai Qisi just wanted to reprimand, but Zhang Wuji comforted: "Okay, Ah Li, the plan can't catch up with the change." This is also a helpless move, after returning to the Central Plains, I will take you to Lin'an City to visit the West Lake. ”

After Yin Li complained, her mood was much better, and when she heard Zhang Wuji's promise, she said to Zhang Wuji on the other side of the screen: "Okay! That's what you said, don't lie to me again. ”

Zhang Wuji smiled: "Naturally, I won't lie to you." ”

After pacifying everyone, Zhang Wuji continued to bathe under Xiao Zhao's service, enjoying the last bit of free time here.

After bathing, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. And Dai Qisi also went to inform Huo Jia and the others that their plans had changed, and they would hurry up tomorrow.

Although Huo Jia also complained a little that Zhang Wuji was "not creditable", but it was so urgent, she also expected that something might happen. So he briefly explained to Pasha's father, and immediately seized the time to rest.

Early the next morning, everyone replaced the camel with a fast horse, and Zhang Wuji told him to continue to supervise the country. He led everyone to the east in a hurry.

This time, although Zhang Wuji and the others were not considered to be starry nights, they also took out an expedited speed of eight hundred miles.

Halfway to the road, the road was rugged and difficult, Zhang Wuji and the others abandoned their horses and performed light skills to shuttle and fly in the mountains and forests.

Fortunately, Zhang Wuji and the others have made great progress in their strength. Performing light skills to rush on the road did avoid a lot of detours. Going straight saves a lot of time.

As for Pasha and Yucui, who were slightly weaker in martial arts, Zhang Wuji also carried one in one hand and led everyone to rush in the direction of Guangming Peak.

Originally, the trip of nearly ten days, under Zhang Wuji's "Shenxing Taibao" method, everyone arrived at the foot of Guangming in less than ten days.

Seeing the long-awaited Guangming Peak, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of Zhang Wuji's "bad idea", although the speed was much faster, the people who followed him were also very embarrassed. It's either that the hair is full of dead branches and leaves, or it's just dusty.

Yin Li, Yang Buregret's clothes were even torn by branches and stones, they are now in tattered clothes, and they look like Mingzun Sect Leader. More like a beggar gang.

Huo Jia looked at the bright top of Kunlun Mountain, and then said, "Is this your main altar?" Such a towering place is really a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, no wonder your Middle-earth Ming Sect, even if you rebel for hundreds of years, have not been completely wiped out. With this treasure, you can indeed make a comeback at any time. ”
