Yunzhou.
Lin Ye sat on the battlements and looked at the camp being built outside the city, which seemed to be an endless stretch of hills on the flat ground.
Inside the hills and ravines there are green bamboos pointing to the sky, which are like forests of soldiers.
The Loufan people moved south on such a large scale this time and passed through Dongbo very smoothly, so their military morale was strong and their morale was like a rainbow.
Zong Zhengxian suppressed the murder of Zong Zheng Chonghuo, and changed Zong Zheng Chonghuo's front army to the rear army. The more than 20,000 people were thrown into Caoshu City to guard the back road, so at this time, the people outside Yunzhou City This million-strong army did not know that one of the princes had been killed by Dayu's cowardly general.
As for the matter of General Zong Zheng Lianhai of the Pioneer Army, Zong Zheng suppressed it just like Zong Zhengxian. He only said that Zong Zheng Lianhai was overworked and caught the wind and cold, so he needed to rest, and there was no need to invite him to discuss major military matters.
At this time, Lou Fan's army looked like it was burned into a sea of fire outside Yunzhou City.
"A letter has been sent from the court. Master Ning sent someone to deliver it."
Ning Haitang stood next to Lin Ye, holding his hand on the battlement and said calmly: "Now, more than half of the civil and military people in the dynasty are scolding you."
Lin Ye said: "Only half?"
Ning Haitang raised his eyebrows...this guy.
Abandoning the winter berth battlefield and directly bringing the war to Yunzhou City, once this matter spread in Geling City, not only the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not understand it, but also the common people did not understand it.
A small number of people in the court did not scold Lin Ye, and it was not because they thought Lin Ye was right to do so.
Part of it was due to their long-standing admiration for him. For example, the younger generation of generals and the disciples of the martial arts academy worshiped Lin Ye almost fanatically.
They couldn't figure out why Lin Ye did this, but they felt that the cowardly general must be right to do this. They couldn't figure it out, just because they were far inferior to the general.
"Most people say you are a kind woman."
Ning Haitang said: "They all feel that you gave up dealing with the Loufan people in Dongbo territory for the sake of the Dongbo people."
Lin Ye: "What they think...is not unreasonable. Let's just declare it to the outside world. At least the people of Dongbo know that I am good to you."
As a battlefield, Dongbo is the most perfect choice in the eyes of most people.
It was not the people of Dayu who died, it was not the city of Dayu that was burned down, and the destruction of the country and the family had nothing to do with Dayu.
But Lin Ye brought the war to Yunzhou, so wouldn't it be the beauty who might be implicated?
After thinking calmly, some people felt that it was actually more reasonable for Lin Ye to do this.
Because Dayu's military strength cannot be compared with that of Lou Fan. Lou Fan went south, with more than one million regular troops and six to seven hundred thousand civilian slaves. The scale was so large that in a battle on the plains, the Jade army gathered now was only three hundred thousand people. Right and left, how to fight?
Lin Ye turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man standing not far away, with a look of vicissitudes of life on his face.
"Your Majesty, do you think your Lou Fan army is majestic?"
Lin Ye asked.
Zong Zhengshiquan's face, who was standing there looking at the company camp outside the city, didn't seem to have changed much, but there was still a flash of sadness in his eyes. No matter how fast the sadness flashed, it was as deep as a knife carving it. .
Lin Ye sighed: "Your Majesty, look how fast your millions of troops are coming."
Zong Zheng Shiquan took a deep breath.
That's the sad part.
He fell into the hands of the beautiful woman, and millions of troops arrived so quickly, but no one in Loufan thought of redeeming him through diplomacy.
Zong Zheng Shiquan once imagined that if Lou Fan sent people, he would angrily rebuke his ministers and ask them to go back, not to lose Lou Fan's majesty and glory.
However, no one really came.
Even if there is a person of sufficient importance who hopes that Zong Zhengshiquan will come back alive, he will form a mission and rush to Dayu to negotiate.
Let's see what conditions Dayu proposes. As long as they are not too excessive, even if they cede a small piece of territory and pay a large sum of money, as long as they can take the emperor back.
But no one came, not one.
As soon as the news that he had been captured alive spread back, everyone was thinking about how to win the throne.
Could it be that Zong Zheng Shiquan didn't understand that Lou Fan had already announced that he had given up on being the emperor without resorting to diplomatic channels to resolve the matter, and that he had given up in a clean and tidy manner.
Sometimes Zong Zhengshiquan couldn't help but think, if Xie Fuwei, the emperor of Dayu, was captured alive in Loufan, what would be the reaction of the beautiful woman? Will he try his best to save the emperor?
Don't think about this kind of thing randomly. The more you think about it, the more you feel that this world is not worth it.
The empire he had spent half his life on now had nothing to do with him.
The million-strong army outside, and those who can make the decision, all hope that he will die soon. If he does not die, and in Yunzhou, there is still some fear of Lou Fan's army attacking the city. Only if he dies, those who can make the decision will Will preach hatred and cry for revenge for him, the emperor...
How ridiculous.
Zong Zheng Shiquan felt that he was also ridiculous.
He has always felt that the people in the Central Plains are the most ununited. When he was in Loufan, he often made this matter a joke.
At this time, he looked at Lin Ye and said, "Your Majesty, look at the strength of your million-strong army." Zong Zheng Shiquan's face was sore from the beating.
Lin Ye would not refrain from humiliating someone just because such humiliation seemed immodest. In fact, he never felt that he was that advanced.
A character that can't bear to retaliate when there is a grudge has never been recognized by those high-ranking people.
Of course, this so-called superiority is just because they are pretentious. Anyway, the Supreme Saint Xie Fuwei likes Lin Ye very much.
No matter how senior you are, can you still be more senior than Xie Fu?
After a long time, Zong Zheng Shiquan said slowly: "The general set the war in Yunzhou because he wanted me to watch from the city wall every day how my millions of troops were attacking me with swords, guns, swords and halberds. of?"
Lin Ye said: "How can I have such low taste?"
Zong Zheng Shiquan looked at Lin Ye: "I don't believe it."
Lin Ye said: "I'm even less interested. If they really attack the city regardless of the cost, I will have people hang you up and push you back and forth on the city wall. I will push you wherever there are dense arrows. I will also take you." Threaten your loyal ministers and tell them that if they dare to attack the city, I will stab you in the leg with a knife..."
Speaking of this, Lin Ye looked at Zong Zheng Shiquan: "It's more practical than Guang to expect them to kill you."
Zong Zhengshiquan was silent for a moment and nodded and said: "He is indeed an eclectic person, and he is indeed a general who only comes out once every two hundred years in Dayu."
Lin Ye said: "I just never cover up my kindness, and I never cover up my malice."
Zong Zhengshiquan said: "Xie Fuwei has really good vision."
Lin Ye said: "I thank you for your compliment on behalf of the Supreme Saint, but he probably won't take it seriously."
Ning Haitang stood aside and listened to their conversation, thinking that this was Lin Ye. Even though he was already the number one person in the dynasty, he still refused to pretend to be high-class.
When he can ridicule, he will ridicule, and when he can hit, he will hit people. He will not endure it just because the person he wants to scold is far from being on the same level as him. Things like image, for Lin For Ye Lai, it was something he didn't really care about.
Lin Ye sat on the city wall and looked at the densely packed Lou Fan army outside the city, as if a normal person was overlooking the dense ant colony at a normal height.
"Congratulations in advance, General."
Zong Zhengshiquan said: "This battle has been won, and the general's name will go down in history. In the future, the history books of the Central Plains will not even write a few words about what the current emperor of the Jade Kingdom did, but they will definitely mention the word Lin Ye." Great book."
Lin Ye: "Childish."
Zong Zhengshi was completely expressionless.
Lin Ye raised his finger and pointed to the opposite side: "I don't care too much about what the history books of the Central Plains people write about me. If I don't destroy Lou Fan in this life and let Lou Fan still have a chance to survive, what will be written about me in the history books of Lou Fan in the future? I don’t think it’s a big deal to write about it.”
He turned his head and looked at Zong Zheng Shiquan: "I prefer it if Lou Fan has no history."
Zong Zheng Shiquan finally no longer looked expressionless. He looked at Lin Ye and said two words after a moment of silence.
"Arrogance."
Lin Ye smiled.
Zong Zhengshiquan said: "Even if I accidentally fall into the hands of a beautiful lady, Lou Fan's inheritance will continue. You want me to see if the millions of troops outside the city are majestic. I'll tell you...even if today's millions of troops Defeated, Lou Fan will still have an army of one million people tomorrow! He will still be strong!"
Lin Ye said: "So unsure?"
Zong Zheng Shiquan: "What?"
Lin Ye said: "Today a million-strong army was defeated, and tomorrow there will be a million-strong army. Even you think that people outside the city can't win."
Zong Zhengshiquan's expression changed, and he said nothing more, because everything seemed to be an explanation, and a strong man never needed to explain deliberately.
He asked himself, did he really think from the very beginning that the millions of Lou Fan troops outside the city could not defeat the young general standing next to him?
In the past, he would never have had such an idea, but now, he seems to have acquiesced.
After a long time, Zong Zhengshiquan said: "Sooner or later, the emperor of the Jade Kingdom will be captured by the Loufan people, and will be detained on the city wall, so that he can see how embarrassed his ministers are outside the city."
Lin Ye said: "At this time, it is very boring for you to be cruel."
He looked into the distance and said as if talking to himself: "Your Majesty, he will never become a prisoner like you, even if he can make the same choice as you and go deep into the enemy's country with the dignity of an emperor."
"When he walks on the enemy's land, he will look at the enemy's subjects as if he were on his own territory."
Lin Ye said softly: "However, I still really hope that at this time on the Yunzhou City Wall, the person who wants you to accompany you to watch millions of powerful enemies outside the city chatting and laughing is not me, but it seems that he also No interest."
Zong Zheng Shiquan's face twitched involuntarily. This middle-aged man, who was originally handsome, didn't know that his face looked slightly ferocious at this time.
He said: "You will never be him. You humiliate me, but you will never reach my height."
Lin Ye said: "It's getting more and more boring."
When Zong Zheng Shiquan heard this, his expression became more ferocious.
Ning Haitang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said to Zong Zheng Shiquan, why did you choose to quarrel with him?
You can't imagine what he wants you to do after irritating you, right?
Lin Ye said: "I don't have the elegance to talk and laugh. I'm just a young man who can do anything."
After saying this, Lin Ye turned around and ordered: "Put a movable high platform on the city wall and invite His Majesty Emperor Lou Fan to the stage for a military parade!"
Soon a high platform on wheels was rolled over. It was obviously not a temporary one.
Zong Zheng Shiquan was pushed up to the high platform by several soldiers. At this time, his expression was extremely ugly.
The human emperor was tied to a wooden stake on a high platform. Dozens of soldiers pushed the high platform to move on the city wall. On the high platform, Pang Panghai shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Dayu Border Army, respectfully invite His Majesty Emperor Lou Fan to ascend the military parade!"
What a shame!
At this moment, when the Loufan people saw this scene, the hatred in everyone's heart was ignited, and the flames burned in their hearts. They wished they could rush to Yunzhou City and kill all the beauties right now.
But Lin Ye looked outside the city, but still felt that something was not enough.
"My soldiers!"
Zong Zheng Shiquan shouted loudly: "You all listen, don't worry about my life or death, I will give you the last decree now!"
"Use the scimitar in your hand to slaughter all the people in the Central Plains, destroy their country, and slaughter all their races. Let the flag passed by Lou Fan fly in the Central Plains!"
Lin Ye nodded when he heard this: "Well, impassioned, the atmosphere should be enough now."
Ning Haitang looked at Emperor Lou Fan high up, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart... She said in her heart, it turns out that you are really far behind him.
Outside the city, the Loufan people seemed to be fighting fiercely, and the soldiers roared angrily, shouting at the top of their lungs.
Zong Zheng Xianhe and others all had gloomy faces, and they were all terribly ugly.
