After Lin Ye listened to Gu Xiujin carefully introduce the woman named Ning Haitang, he was sure of one thing...
There is no need for him to go to Longzhangtai.
If what Gu Xiujin said was not an exaggeration, then Lin Ye had to admit that Ning Haitang was stronger than him in a sense.
Although there were definitely some things that Gu Xiujin didn't say, Lin Ye could also think of something from the occasional words that flashed across his mind.
The emperor had long known how powerful Ning Haitang was, and if Ning Haitang could be so dashing, maybe the emperor was behind her.
The emperor allowed her to be free and unrestrained, allowed her to be wanton, and even allowed her to act recklessly sometimes.
If she were a man, Lin Ye's position might be hers now.
So in some cases, there is still no way to achieve enough fairness between men and women.
But when the emperor chooses people, the most important thing is...correctness.
From the emperor's words, Lin Ye guessed something.
A long time ago, at least two years ago, Ning Haitang left Dayu and entered Guzhu.
Therefore, the Loufan people infiltrated into Guzhu, and then attacked from Guzhu into Dongbo, all happened under Ning Haitang's nose.
This makes it even more certain that the war in Dongbo is what the emperor wants to see.
When the Loufan people infiltrated into Guzhu on a large scale, Ning Haitang also entered Guzhu at this time to make preparations.
A group of women are more likely to be ignored.
They entered Dongbo in batches and then gathered at Longzhang Terrace.
If this happened within two years, then in the past two years, with Ning Haitang's ability, Long Zhangtai's side would have probably been well prepared in terms of troops and weapons and equipment.
Loufan people can bribe Guzhu officials and even obtain weapons and equipment from Guzhu, but Yuren can't?
The Emperor had already anticipated what Tuoba Lie would do.
The emperor never mentioned Ning Haitang to Lin Ye before, because the emperor had no need to tell Lin Ye everything.
If Lin Ye hadn't asked for orders to go to Longzhangtai twice, maybe the emperor still wouldn't tell Lin Ye. Of course, it might not be timely.
The emperor said to Lin Ye: "You can go to Longzhangtai, but you are not going to be a general."
He said: "Most of the rebels in Kuizi Camp and Quezi Camp have surrendered. They are Dayu's skilled soldiers. I have said that bygones are bygones, but they also need to prove themselves."
Lin Ye understood. The emperor asked him to send the surrendered troops from Kuizi Camp and Quezi Camp to Ning Haitang.
As long as Longzhangtai is secure, neither the rebels nor the Loufan people can enter Guzhu.
The rebels on Guzhu's side have no chance of defeating the Emperor. If a teenage boy can lead the rebels to attack Yangzi and kill the Emperor, that would be a fantasy.
What the emperor wanted was to confirm Tuoba Lie's charge of treason.
Lin Ye asked: "When will I set off?"
The emperor said: "You really want to go?"
Lin Ye was startled.
Only then did Lin Ye realize that he had been negligent. He was the commander-in-chief of the armies in Yangzicheng, and the emperor had entrusted him with the command of the battle with the rebels.
People probably all have curiosity and competitiveness. After Gu Xiujin said so much, how could it not arouse Lin Ye's curiosity and competitiveness?
And this may be the emperor's original intention.
Seeing that Lin Ye was a little dazed, the emperor laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if you go and have a look, I have to make you understand that you are not the only genius, and it is not a bad thing for you to encounter some setbacks."
Lin Ye understood, this was the emperor's original intention.
First let Gu Xiujin explain Ning Haitang in detail to arouse Lin Ye's interest, and then the emperor would strike while the iron is hot. How could Lin Ye not want to go to Longzhangtai to see General Ning.
There must be a reason why the emperor asked him to go.
The emperor said: "After arriving at Longzhangtai, don't lose too much face in front of a woman."
Lin Ye said: "I will do my best."
After climbing the mountain with the emperor and returning to the Wulingwei camp, Lin Ye thought about it all the way and finally understood the emperor's intention.
Gu Xiujin said that Ning Haitang was unparalleled in the world, and he was probably not exaggerating at all.
With Ning Haitang's character, she would never think that women are inferior to men.
If she had bowed to this view, she would not have taken off Xin Yanque's pants in Shangyang Palace.
If she had bowed her head, she would not have led a group of female disciples in the martial arts academy to challenge the elites of the martial arts academy.
The emperor really liked Ning Haitang's talents, so he planned to reuse her.
But there will be a contradiction. The emperor wants to reuse her, but he has no intention of letting her become someone like Lin Ye.
With Ning Haitang's character, she would definitely ask...why?
The emperor said to Lin Ye, don't lose too much face when you arrive at Longzhang Terrace. To put it bluntly... don't lose my face.
The emperor asked Lin Ye to understand that if you lose, Ning Haitang will be even more unconvinced by you becoming a general.
The deeper meaning of Tianzi's words is that if you cannot convince a woman like Ning Haitang, then I may really hand over your position to her.
The emperor has always used talents in an eclectic way. He can use unknown Lin Ye or Ning Haitang.
The emperor just didn't want his talents to activate the plan and cause conflicts.
Ning Haitang will not rebel against Dayu because of this, but she will definitely give up her job because of this.
What Lin Ye wanted to do was to prove to Ning Haitang that he was worthy of his reputation as a general.
Prove that the emperor is right.
The reason why the emperor felt that Ning Haitang could not be in Lin Ye's position was not because he felt that Ning Haitang was not as powerful as Lin Ye.
It's because the Emperor knows that when the new king needs to kill everyone in the future, Ning Haitang will definitely not be the one to kill Lin Yezhong.
Women will not lose to men when it comes to wanting to be strong, but there may be some differences when it comes to why they kill people.
After understanding the emperor's intention, Lin Ye couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Why did Gu Xiujin make it so clear what kind of person Ning Haitang was?
He was telling Lin Ye on behalf of the emperor, what kind of person your opponent is and how powerful he is. If you underestimate the enemy even a little bit, you will lose completely.
He walked to the window and looked at the starry sky outside. To be honest... he was actually looking forward to it.
Longzhangtai is several hundred miles away from Yangzi City. If you march in a hurry, you can reach it in just seven days.
At this moment, on the city wall of Longzhangtai, Ning Haitang was squatting on the wall stacks, looking at the plain in the distance with clairvoyance.
Coming from Dongbo, the terrain is really unfriendly to Longzhangtai.
If it is too open, the enemy's troops can be fully deployed, and the terrain is flat, and the enemy can also use large siege equipment such as trebuchets.
There may even be construction trucks, battering rams and other troublesome things.
Standing next to Ning Haitang were a dozen female generals wearing iron armor. They were all brought out by Ning Haitang himself.
After a long time, Ning Haitang threw the clairvoyant back, and a soldier reached out to catch the clairvoyant.
Ning Haitang turned around, from squatting on the wall to sitting on the wall facing his men, with his back to the outside of the city.
Her sitting posture looks carefree, but it never makes people feel too rough.
She doesn't have a very strong-looking figure, and she even looks a little skinny compared to the female generals under her.
"If nothing happens, the rebels will arrive in a few days."
Ning Haitang looked at his female generals and said: "You allocate your teams. I don't need to worry about this kind of thing. Besides..."
Ning Haitang looked at one of the female generals: "Mingduo, I asked you to recruit volunteers. How many people have you recruited?"
Ming Duo stood solemnly and replied: "General, we are recruiting, but my subordinates think that we can hold Longzhangtai without those men."
Ning Haitang frowned slightly.
She looked into Ming Duo's eyes and asked: "Do you know why I chose you and trained you to become independent people?"
Min Duo just replied: "I know!"
Ning Haitang interrupted her directly: "You don't know!"
Ning Haitang said with a chilling tone: "You were more or less unfortunate before. I made you stronger so that you don't look down on yourself, not to look down on men!"
She jumped down from the wall, walked up to Mingduo, and asked Mingduo face to face: "If you hadn't become powerful because you practiced with me, with your natural strength, would you be a man's opponent?"
Ming Duo's eyes gleamed for a moment, then he straightened his chest and raised his head and answered, "I know I was wrong."
Ning Haitang said loudly: "I thought you all understood this truth, but I didn't expect that I gave you confidence, but you became arrogant because of it."
"What I hate most is when men look down on women, and I also hate when women look down on men!"
When she was angry, none of the female generals were so frightened that they did not dare to raise their heads. They all straightened their backs and stood upright to listen to the lesson.
Ning Haitang said as he walked around: "In this world, people are divided into men and women for the sake of continuing the family line and for the sake of mutual happiness. It is not for the sake of being hostile to each other, belittling each other, or even killing each other."
"If you still don't know what I want you to understand, then you can get out now with the skills I taught you."
She asked loudly: "Did you hear that clearly?!"
All the female generals stood neatly and respectfully.
"Listen clearly!"
Ning Haitang looked at Ming Duo: "If you do not recruit enough reserve troops within three days, you will leave Longzhangtai."
Min Duo loudly agreed: "Yes!"
Ning Haitang said: "If a woman who wants to stand on her own has no sense and is only filled with opposition, she will be even more stupid than the man who bullied you in the first place."
When she said this, she softened her tone.
"Besides, good man, what a good thing that is."
She walked up to Minduo and patted Minduo's breastplate: "I won't drool over you, but you can still let me whistle, pretty man."
The female generals all laughed.
"Everyone cheers up and gets ready to work."
Ning Haitang waved his hand: "If nothing happens, your Majesty's favorite guy will come recently. Who is he?"
All the female generals responded in unison: "Lin Ye!"
Ning Haitang said: "What did he come for?!"
They answered in unison again: "Pretend!"
Ning Haitang smiled: "You're right, he came here to show off under orders, because His Majesty wanted me to see that Lin Ye is better than me, but I don't care if he did it under orders, I only care about his general.
Is he worthy of his name? He can be a general, and so can I. If he disappoints me after he comes, I will go to Yangzicheng and ask His Majesty in person why."
"The general is mighty!"
The female generals shouted loudly.
Ning Haitang said: "Go to work, don't let those who come here to pretend, think that you are nothing but beautiful."
"mighty!"
They neatly performed military salutes, then turned around and strode away.
