Four hundred and twentieth chapters wash away sins(1/2)
Lin Ye would not stay in Longzhangtai for too long. After all, his official duties were to send the team to Ning Haitang.
In the past two days, he spent more than half of his time on the city wall observing the Loufan camp in the distance.
The temporary calm is just an appearance.
Perhaps it was because of the previous battle with Yun Guhong that the Loufan people did not dare to easily attack Long Zhangtai for the time being.
Therefore, the Loufan people's camp looks particularly peaceful. Apart from the normal patrols, there are no large-scale mobilizations of troops and horses.
The location of the Loufan people's camp is also very reasonable. It is not too close to Longzhangtai. If Longzhangtai's troops have the courage to leave the city for a sneak attack, the Loufan people's cavalry will have enough time to react.
Just when Lin Ye was thinking about where the Beiye Army would go, Ning Haitang walked up to Lin Ye.
When she stood next to Lin Ye, she looked even more petite.
But who would have thought that such a petite woman would have such a strong life?
"Are you thinking about what Tuoba Lie is thinking about?"
Ning Haitang asked.
Lin Ye nodded.
Ning Haitang looked outside the city and said, "I'm not. I'm just wondering what Zong Zheng Shiquan is thinking."
Lin Ye turned his head and looked at her.
Ning Haitang said: "Zong Zheng Shiquan is known as the strongest monarch since the founding of Lou Fan. This is definitely not a false reputation."
Lin Ye hummed.
Ning Haitang said: "So such a powerful emperor should not be led by others."
Lin Ye hummed again.
Ning Haitang asked: "You have always said so little? Is there any convincing reason?"
Lin Ye: "I'm weak."
Ning Haitang: "..."
She looked outside the city again and said: "It is impossible for Zong Zheng Shiquan to be overshadowed by someone like Yun Guhong. After all, even Tuoba Lie may not be able to defeat him."
Lin Ye: "So Tuoba Lie asked Zong Zheng Shiquan to deal with Yun Guhong."
Ning Haitang still felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden increase in words.
She said: "Will Tuoba Lie secretly communicate with Zong Zheng Shiquan?"
Lin Ye replied: "No need."
Ning Haitang hummed.
Yes, it's not necessary.
Those are two people who have already stood at the highest level in the world. Their thinking and vision determine that they can understand what the other person is thinking without communicating at all.
What Tuoba Lie needs is to rely on the Loufan people to destroy Yun Guhong's 500,000 jade army. Even if Yun Guhong, who cannot fight, is wiped out, he still has to make Yun Guhong no longer able to compete.
However, Zong Zheng Shiquan's plan to use Lone Bamboo to destroy Dongbo and then invade Dayu had actually failed long ago.
Before he could return to China, he needed a big victory to restore his reputation.
Although he failed to capture Dayu as he wished, if he could destroy Dayu's 500,000-strong army, Zong Zhengshiquan would still be welcomed as a peerless hero after returning home.
Although Lou Fan is strong, he has never taken advantage of him since he fought against Dayu.
After the Loufan people returned from that battle more than ten years ago, they always preached a great victory.
However, in fact, they only relied on methods like burning mountains with fire to annihilate the Cowardly Army.
Before that, the Cowardly Army, which had only over 10,000 troops, killed nearly 100,000 Loufan people one after another. Moreover, when they were finally besieged, the Cowardly Army had no support and had been without food for many days.
Even so, after returning home, the Loufan people would celebrate such achievements and agitate for publicity at home.
Even with ten times the loss, it was not only a frontal defeat of the Cowardly Army, but also a great victory for the Loufan people.
If Zong Zhengshiquan goes back this time and brings the record of defeating the army of 500,000 Dayu, he will be even more worshiped as a god.
Who would say that his southern expedition failed?
Moreover, Dongbo was also beaten to pieces by him. After returning to the army, it would not be a problem if he only captured the northern territory of Dongbo.
Therefore, there is no need for Tuoba Lie to collude with him.
With Zong Zheng Shiquan's vision and his mind, he could see clearly what Tuoba Lie was going to do at a glance.
To be honest, when the Loufan people chased the Beiye Army cavalry into the Beiye Army camp, did the Loufan cavalry really have no chance to withdraw?
How is that possible? It's 100 percent because Zong Zheng Shiquan saw through Tuoba Lie's plan.
Of the three commanders, only Yun Guhong was fooled.
Ning Haitang asked: "Do you think there is a possibility that Zong Zheng Shiquan doesn't want to enter Guzhu at all?"
Lin Ye nodded: "Yes."
Ning Haitang asked: "Do you think there is a possibility that Zong Zhengshi was cooperating with Tuoba Lie to act for Yun Guhong."
Lin Ye: "Yes."
Ning Haitang asked: "Do you think there is a possibility that Tuoba Lie has left the battlefield and wants to take a detour to Guzhu."
Lin Ye: "Yes."
Every question Ning Haitang asked, Lin Ye's answers were quick and simple.
But Ning Haitang knew that this simple and direct answer showed that Lin Ye had carefully considered every question she asked, and should have considered it more than once.
Ning Haitang asked: "If this is the case, what will Zong Zheng Shiquan do next?"
Lin Ye: "Attack Longzhangtai."
Ning Haitang raised the corner of his mouth.
Obviously this was the most impossible thing, but Lin Ye was so sure when he said it.
Ning Haitang smiled, not in ridicule, but in affirmation, because she thought so too.
Next, if Zong Zheng Shiquan's main target is Yun Guhong's jade army, he will first pretend to attack Longzhangtai to confuse Yun Guhong.
But, it's just a show.
Ning Haitang said: "When you first came to Longzhangtai, you took half of my dividends."
Lin Ye: "I'll give you half of it too."
Ning Haitang turned his head and looked at Lin Ye: "Shouldn't you rush back to Yangzicheng to recover?"
Lin Ye: "Go back after dividing."
Ning Haitang said: "His Majesty asked you to come just to deliver troops to me, but you didn't hold back. Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's reproach?"
Lin Ye: "Then guess, why did His Majesty ask me to come?"
Ning Haitang didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but laugh. The way the corners of his mouth turned up was really pretty.
It's just sending troops. Does a general have to come in person?
He is also the military commander over at Yangzicheng, responsible for countering the rebellion.
This kind of thing can be handled by His Majesty just by casually assigning a general to come over. Letting Lin Ye come over is not just a boring competition between Lin Ye and Ning Haitang.
Lin Ye felt bored, wouldn't Ning Haitang feel bored?
She is just competitive, she is not reckless.
If she was really reckless and simple-minded, how could she be allowed to come to Longzhangtai that day?
Ning Haitang said: "Then let's make an agreement, give me half, and nothing less will do."
Lin Ye said: "I can give you the other half, I can exchange it with you for the same thing."
Ning Haitang asked: "What?"
Lin Ye said: "You told Zinai last night that she is not good at controlling power. Since you said it, it proves that you have a way to help him."
Ning Haitang: "I also told Zinai about the destruction of your Dantian. Why don't you ask me if there is any way to save your Dantian Qihai?"
Lin Ye said: "No need."
He turned around and said, "I'm going back to Queziying and Kuiziying first. If you can help Zinai, it's all yours."
Ning Haitang said: "Go."
Lin Ye left the city wall, and Ning Haitang looked back at him. There was a brilliance in his eyes that seemed to be flying out.
As expected, the Loufan people began to mobilize troops and horses on the second day.
The previous calm did not last long, and this calm was just an illusion.
But this mobilization of troops and horses is of course an illusion, even if the illusion is realistic enough.
The next day, the Loufan people began to build their trucks, and they could even see their battering rams knocking down the camp.
To be continued...
