Chapter five hundred and ninety-ninth why should I come if I don't help you
"Time is tight and the task is heavy."
Lin Ye tapped his hand lightly on the table to remind everyone that they should really be anxious about this matter.
Ning Haitang was sitting with her legs crossed. When Lin Ye said this, she raised her head and glanced at Lin Ye.
This glance means a lot.
But it can be summed up simply, and the general meaning is...you caused the trouble yourself, you brought the trouble to yourself, and now you let us all wipe your butt?
Or wipe it quickly.
Lin Ye said: "This matter is indeed my problem. I made a big mistake in the memorial to His Majesty."
Ning Haitang: "Humph..."
Lin Ye glanced at her and she turned her head.
Lin Ye mentioned the names of more than a dozen small countries in his memorial to the emperor, but when he wrote this memorial, he only captured Maolin and Dalie.
Think about it, it would take several months, maybe even half a year, for the memorial to be sent from here to the Dayu Geling Mausoleum, even if it was delivered at the fastest speed.
So Lin Ye was blowing the cowhide that would only ring after a year and a half six months ago, and he was still blowing it very loudly.
"Thank you all."
Lin Ye looked humble and polite.
"But fortunately, it's not really that much."
Hearing this sentence, Ning Haitang snorted again.
There are only about twenty vassal states, large and small, in Loufan's southern border area. Lin Ye picked up a dozen of the stronger ones and wrote down their names.
At this moment, he actually had the nerve to say that it wasn't really much.
"It's true that the Loufan people have withdrawn their troops, and it's true that they don't dare to fight a large-scale war rashly anymore."
General Ning Shehai said with a serious face: "But they dare to attack our dispersed team."
He looked at Lin Ye: "If we follow the wishes of the Protector, our team will be divided into more than a dozen groups to attack separately, or to persuade those small countries."
"With such a large-scale mobilization of troops and being divided into so many teams, it is impossible for the Loufan people not to see it."
"Their strength was originally slightly smaller than ours, but once we divided our forces, the Loufan people were able to concentrate their forces and defeat our troops one by one."
"Besides, this place is closer to Lou Fan, and behind us is Dongbo, a winter lake riddled with holes."
He was a little worried.
"If we really divide our forces to attack, I'm afraid we might be ambushed by the Loufan people."
Lin Ye nodded: "I know, so I didn't plan to divide the troops to attack. Just now you said to divide the troops according to my wishes and defeat them one by one. That was your intention. I never said that I would divide the troops into dozens of groups."
He walked to the map, picked up the wooden stick and pointed to the place he marked on it.
"When I say that time is tight and the tasks are heavy, I don't mean that you should do these things, but that I will do it myself."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Ning Haitang couldn't help but frown. She just thought that Lin Ye's humble look just wanted everyone to divide their forces to attack the small countries on the list.
At this time, Lin Ye said that he would go by himself, which made Ning Haitang's heart tighten a little.
The eldest princess Xie Yunxi, who was sitting a little further away, also frowned slightly.
She is the eldest princess, and with her status, she shouldn't have come here. Being able to go to the northern border of Dongbo means that she takes her seriously enough.
She came just because Lin Ye was here.
Lin Ye said: "I want to bring a cavalry."
The wooden stick in his hand slowly moved across the map.
"Start from here and fight all the way. I have calculated that if everything goes well, it won't be a problem within half a year."
General Hong Wuding couldn't help but ask: "The Protector is saying that you will lead your army to conquer these dozen countries within half a year?"
Lin Ye shook his head: "It's not about conquering these dozen small countries within half a year, but it's about fighting back and forth within half a year."
After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly. Even Hong Wuding, who was relatively mature and steady, had a kind of doubt in his eyes. He wasn't doubting anything else. He was wondering if he had heard something explosive just now.
Cowhide that appears to be very fragile.
Lin Ye said: "I will personally handle the main attack matters, and you will be responsible for supporting me."
"In the past six months, you must protect the Loufan people for me. I heard that the person commanding the troops in Loufan's southern border this time is named Qihe Manruo. He is a good friend of Loufan Emperor Zong Zhengshiquan who grew up together.
"
Speaking of this, Lin Ye smiled and said: "During the time when I am leading the army, if you can take the Qihemanruo, it will be regarded as a complete meritorious deed."
Everyone stared at him.
It’s not that I think it’s impossible to fight if Qihe is full, or it’s not easy to fight.
But as the commander-in-chief and the generalissimo leading the troops, Lin Ye's attitude of leaving the Loufan people to his subordinates was really scumbag.
"In this expedition, I will lead the troops of the Cowardly Army headquarters and select fifteen thousand cavalry from them."
Lin Ye looked at Ning Haitang and said: "The Cowardly Army now has a total strength of 96,000. I will take away 15,000 of them and leave the rest to Ning Haitang for the time being."
Ning Haitang really didn't expect this.
Except for Lin Ye, these people here are all generals of the third rank.
Except for Ning Haitang, several others came with their own troops.
Ning Haitang originally sent food from Guzhu, bringing only a team of more than 10,000 people.
Lin Ye continued: "After I leave, the two generals Ning and Hong will discuss the important military affairs here."
Hong Wuding said: "Three people will inevitably have disagreements when discussing matters. If there is a war, without unified command, there will be chaos."
He cupped his fists and said, "Please also ask the Protector to designate a person who will temporarily take command of the entire army."
Lin Ye looked at Ning Haitang, who turned away from him. Lin Ye looked at Ning Shehai, who looked calm.
Lin Ye said: "The abilities of the three generals are indistinguishable. Therefore, if one is designated to temporarily take over as the general, the other two must not be dissatisfied, let alone shirk and neglect."
Without waiting for the three people to speak, Lin Ye said: "I will choose the fairest way to decide who will temporarily take over as the general."
He asked Pang Panghai to bring over some papers, wrote his names on three pieces of paper, and then asked Pang Panghai to shuffle the papers.
"Whoever I draw will be the winner."
Ning Haitang: "Well...it's really fair."
Lin Ye said: "It can be more fair."
He looked at Xie Yunxi, who had been sitting quietly next to him: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, can you spare one person for me?"
Xie Yunxi narrowed his eyes, as if he could see through Lin Ye's thoughts at a glance.
At this moment, Lin Ye was so bold that he actually wanted her to be the scapegoat.
But of course she would not refuse. Ruoyou glanced at Lin Ye thoughtfully and nodded in agreement.
Pang Panghai placed three paper balls in front of Xie Yunxi. Xie Yunxi seemed to think seriously for a while, and then picked up the one in the middle.
But she didn't look at it, and handed the paper ball to Pang Panghai. Pang Panghai stupidly opened it directly. Logically speaking, he should hand it to Lin Ye.
"It's General Ning."
Pang Panghai shouted.
Hong Wuding looked at Ning Haitang, who was also slightly surprised.
However, the name is Ning Shehai.
Lin Ye said: "Since it is God's will, then please ask General Ning to temporarily take over the position of general until I return from the expedition."
Ning Shehai did not shirk, he stood up and clasped his fists: "I have the order."
Xie Yunxi picked up the other two paper balls, doing so casually. Those others were looking at Ning Shehai, and no one noticed her.
After all these things were arranged, everyone left. Xie Yunxi sat there but did not get up, and raised his fingers towards Lin Ye.
Lin Ye immediately walked over obediently, and at the same time waved his hands back, signaling Pang Panghai and the others to get out quickly.
Pang Panghai was quite unhappy, he still wanted to see...
"It's hard to learn well, but it's really fast to learn bad."
Xie Yunxi put the two paper balls in her hand back on the table. She didn't open them at all.
She picked it up just now, but she didn't want others to see it, because she concluded that Ning Shehai was also written in these two paper balls.
"If you choose, you are afraid that they will think that you are partial and deliberately choose someone. After all, with your ability, it shouldn't be difficult to just make a mark casually."
Xie Yunxi spoke softly, but it scared Lin Ye so much that he didn't dare to raise his head.
"For me, because of my status as the eldest princess, even the cunning and cunning Hong Wuding dare not question me."
She looked at Lin Ye's face: "You have concluded that if you don't choose Hong Wuding, no matter which brother and sister you choose, Ning Shehai or Ning Haitang, Hong Wuding will ask to see the paper."
Lin Ye said: "Auntie... I also have to be careful. Although Hongwu Ding is no different until now, I don't dare to fully trust this person."
Xie Yunxi: "You are not familiar with Ning Shehai, why did Ning choose him? I thought you would choose Ning Haitang, after all..."
Lin Ye quickly said: "There is no final answer."
He patiently explained: "If Ning Haitang is chosen, Ning Shehai is her brother and will definitely interfere with her a lot. Even if she doesn't interfere, just with a look, Ning Haitang may wonder if she has made a mistake. Even if
None, even if Ning Haitang orders him, he will seem a little constrained."
"If Hong Wuding is chosen, I don't trust this person, and neither do the Ning family brothers and sisters. If the three of them are distracted and deviate from their virtue, this battle will be lost."
"The captured Lou Fan scout said that he was extremely capable in commanding Lou Fan's troops and horses. Whether it was talent, martial arts, or courage and strategy, he had few opponents in Lou Fan."
He said seriously: "This battle is about Dayu Tuobei, we cannot lose."
Xie Yunxi nodded: "What you said makes sense. I've thought of this just now, but that's not what I'm asking you."
Lin Ye smiled coquettishly, a little timid.
Xie Yunxi said: "I'm asking you, when did you become so bad that you dare to take advantage of me?"
Lin Ye shook his head quickly: "I don't dare, I don't dare, how dare I use my aunt... Even if I dare, it's because I am my aunt..."
Xie Yunxi raised his hand and hooked his fingers, and Lin Ye immediately moved closer.
Xie Yunxi turned his hand over and pointed downwards with his finger.
Lin Ye quickly leaned over and lowered his head, assuming the most comfortable posture for Xie Yunxi to grab his ears.
He was ready. Even if his aunt twisted his ear off, he would not be able to cry out in pain.
He bent down, Xie Yunxi stretched out his hand, and then helped him straighten his somewhat curled collar.
She said in a gentle tone: "I know it's not easy for you, because this battle is not only about Dayu Tuobei, but also about the future new king."
"The reason why the emperor wants to send troops to the north is because he wants to take advantage of his reign to create twenty years of peace for the new emperor."
She helped Lin Ye tidy up his collar, and gently tapped Lin Ye's heart to indicate that he could stand up straight.
She said: "Although it has not been announced to the world, it can be seen that many people already know that the Lord is the future new king... Mr. Xin treats you well and treats you sincerely. You want to help him fight this battle well.
I want him to sit on the dragon throne smoothly and steadily."
Speaking of this, Xie Yunxi also stood up and patted Lin Ye on the shoulder.
"My aunt said that no matter what you do, now that I have the status of the eldest princess, I can use it for you."
After saying this, she shouted towards the back: "Zinai."
Xiao Zinai ran over immediately: "Auntie, what's the matter?"
Xie Yunxi pointed at Lin Ye and said, "Do you dare to kick your brother's ass?"
Zinai quickly shook his head: "I don't dare, he is my brother, how can I go down... Hehe!"
Then he took off with a flying kick.
Lin Ye: "..."
Zinai ran away after kicking her: "Next time something like this happens, please call me auntie."
