The general at Laifengkou Border Pass is called Jin Wu. He is a very rough man. He seems to have a carefree temperament, but in recent days, he has been thinking very hard.
Lin Ye came back from Xiantang City to Fengkou and had a detailed talk with him.
Lin Ye asked him if he dared to go to Loufan, and he said yes.
Then Lin Ye said to him that if he had enough merit, he would bring him back to Xiantang in the future.
He also told him that the monarch now lacks close confidants. If he goes back, Lin Ye will protect him as the general of the forbidden army in Dongbo.
At that time, Jin Wu's mood was ups and downs. He knew that not only his own life and destiny had changed, but also the thousands of soldiers under his command who had been living at the border for a long time would also see a turn for the better.
However, later General Lin Ye went to Loufan by himself and did not take him with him.
Later, the general came back and captured the war-god-level general Yelv Ling of Lou Fan, as well as Yelv Minglou, the chief general of the southern Xinjiang camp.
At that time, everyone was very excited and excited, but Jin Wu felt a little disappointed.
Because, he is not used at all.
The general went to Loufan alone and did such a great thing, but he made no contribution.
Later, another Jade Kingdom general, Ning Haitang, gained higher and higher status here.
He, the frontier general who came to the forefront, has become a transparent person. Whether it is military affairs or other messy trivial matters, few people come to him for advice.
As a result, the gap in Jin Wu's heart became even greater, and he felt a little depressed every day.
The general clearly promised him that as long as he dared to go to Loufan, he would give him a future.
But the general didn't take him with him. Now this promise is worse than just a piece of paper. At the very least, it's a piece of paper that still has paper.
Doing nothing at the border gate every day made him even more depressed, and his mood never got better.
But he still has to force a smile in front of others, making people think that he doesn't have any unhappiness in his heart.
In fact, he was not dissatisfied with Lin Ye in his heart. He just felt that he was no longer needed here. If he could not make great contributions, he would not be able to go to Immortal Tang and become a general of the Forbidden Army.
All of this has become a wind that blew away a few months ago, and no trace can be found anywhere.
It was late at night when they returned from the patrol. Jin Wu felt really uncomfortable, so he found a jar of wine and drank it by himself in the room.
His personal commander Bai Jinchang could certainly see the general's depression. After all, he and Jin Wu got along day and night.
He closed the door and asked his soldiers to guard the surrounding area so that no one could see the general drinking.
This matter is a big deal or a small matter. Drinking in the army before the battle. If General Lin Ye doesn't pursue it, nothing will happen. If he pursues it, this trivial matter can take away Jin Wu's right to lead the army.
"General, if you have something on your mind, you can talk to your subordinates."
Bai Jinchang sat down next to Jin Wu, reached for the wine bottle, filled another cup for Jin Wu, and poured a cup for himself.
"I'll accompany the general."
He raised his glass.
Jin Wu picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him, then tilted his neck and poured all the wine into his mouth.
"I have been following the General for eleven years."
Bai Jinchang said: "General, you can trust me. If there is something that cannot be done by ordinary people, general just tell me to do it. My life was given by the general. There is nothing I can't do for the general."
Jin Wu felt warm in his heart and raised his hand to pat Bai Jinchang on the shoulder: "I know what you are thinking, but I don't have anything for you to do. I'm just depressed."
Bai Jinchang asked: "What is upsetting the general?"
Jin Wu didn't want to say it, but it was really uncomfortable to hold it in his heart. Besides, Bai Jinchang was not an outsider, he was just like his brother, so he didn't want to hold it in.
He carefully told Bai Jinchang what Lin Ye had told him. After hearing this, Bai Jinchang was first happy, then frowned.
Perhaps because of the clarity of bystanders, Bai Jinchang quickly thought of the key point of this matter.
"General, the General told you that the last time the General went to Loufan, he would definitely take you there, or did he tell you that he would let you go at a specific time?"
After he asked, he looked at Jin Wu. Jin Wu recalled it carefully, shook his head and said, "General, he didn't say when he wanted me to go to Loufan. If he did, would I still be upset?"
"The general mentioned this to me last time and said that I didn't need to go, he would go by himself..."
Speaking of this, Jin Wu sighed.
"I know the general won't lie to me. How could he possibly make fun of me with someone like him?"
Bai Jinchang hummed: "Although the general is a beautiful woman, he is different from other beauties. Since the general has agreed to this matter, he must have been prepared."
He asked: "Since the general has not said when he will ask the general to go to Loufan, he only asked the general if you dare..."
He looked at Jin Wu: "Could it be that the general is asking you to decide?"
Jin Wu poured another glass of wine: "I can decide for myself? I can't say anything about the current situation at the border, and I can't see clearly. What can I think about?"
Bai Jinchang said: "General, don't you think these recent things are a little strange?"
Jin Wu asked: "What's strange?"
Bai Jinchang said: "General, you are much smarter than me. I am actually a dull person. It's just that the general is obsessed with authority."
He continued: "The general deliberately let Yeluminglou go. This matter was probably to sow discord between the Loufan people."
Jin Wudao: "Of course I know this."
Bai Jinchang: "What are the consequences of provocation?"
Jin Wu frowned and muttered to himself: "What are the consequences of provocation?"
He subconsciously put down his wine glass, got up and walked back and forth in the room.
The more I thought about it, the more important Bai Jinchang's reminder became. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that he was just focusing on blaming others, and didn't get involved at all, nor did he think more.
When the general wants to sow discord among the Loufan people, the Yelu family will naturally bear the brunt.
Just during the day, the general personally went to provoke outside the Loufan camp...
Just two hours ago, when the general convened the generals to discuss military affairs, he also said that if nothing unexpected happened, a certain Prince Loufan from the Loufan army had arrived, probably to check on the Yelu family.
Putting all these things together, think back to a few months ago when General Lin Ye asked him... Do you dare to go to Loufan?
There was a buzzing sound in Jin Wu's head, like a muffled thunder exploding.
He realized it all at once.
"It's me who is stupid!"
He looked at Bai Jinchang, strode over, put his hands on Bai Jinchang's shoulders and said excitedly: "If you hadn't reminded me, I would still be obsessed with it."
He said in an excited tone: "The general has long asked me if I dare to go, but if I only have courage and no strategy for this kind of thing, then the general will certainly not trust me to go."
"I can't see the situation myself, and I'm stupidly waiting for the general to give the order. Of course I'm stupid. If I'm so stupid, the general will be even more worried."
"Let's go to Loufan. If things are done well, we can win without a fight. Maybe we can get Loufan's 100,000 southern frontier troops in exchange!"
Jin Wu became more and more excited, and the hand holding Bai Jinchang's shoulder was trembling.
"I am stupid, I am really stupid. The general has already paved the way for me. As long as I have the courage, as long as I have the strategy, I can lead thousands of our brothers to Xiantang...
..."
He took back his hand and slapped himself hard on the forehead a few more times.
"How could I be so stupid? I still have the nerve to drink alcohol and get sulky here?"
He looked at Bai Jinchang: "I'm going to see the general now. I'm going to Loufan and try to find a way to see Yelu Mingjing and Yelu Minglou. If the Yelu family is being suppressed, then maybe these two people can really be persuaded by me.
"
Bai Jinchang said: "But general, this matter is indeed very dangerous. The chances of success are only 20-30%, but the chances of being killed by Yelu Mingjing are 70-80%."
"I know."
Jin Wudao: "If it weren't for that, why would the general ask me if I dared? If it wasn't extremely dangerous, why would the general be afraid that I wouldn't dare?"
He couldn't hold it any longer, straightened his clothes, and was about to go see Lin Ye.
Bai Jinchang grabbed him: "General, I know you are regretful and anxious, but no matter how anxious you are, you are not anxious for this moment. You... just drank."
Jin Wu was stunned: "Yes, yes, I actually forgot. Going to see the general in such a drunken state may make the general not believe that we can handle the matter."
He sat down and said, "I'll take my time. I'll take my time before I go. I have to let the smell of alcohol dissipate."
But then he sat down and immediately stood up: "No, I can't wait any longer."
He looked at Bai Jinchang and said: "The longer we wait for this kind of thing, the more disappointed the general will be in me. Wealth and honor must be found in danger. The future of thousands of our brothers depends on me. I have to go now."
.”
After saying that, he opened the door and ran out. Bai Jinchang wanted to hold him, but he couldn't.
At this moment, in Lin Ye's big tent.
Ning Haitang walked slowly in the tent and asked as he walked: "When do you plan to send someone to see Yelu Mingjing?"
Lin Ye said: "I have been waiting for a few days, but I haven't found the right person. I will find someone else tomorrow."
What is Ning Haitang's thoughts and wisdom? From Lin Ye's words about "the right person," you can immediately guess who is the right person.
First of all, Lin Ye couldn't go by himself. Lin Ye had already been there once, and all the self-esteem and pride of Loufan people were crushed in one visit.
If Lin Ye went there in person this time, Yelu Mingjing would have to keep Lin Ye behind even if he risked his life.
Even if he doesn't kill him right away, he can still exchange Lin Ye for his father Yelvling.
Lin Ye couldn't go, Ning Haitang couldn't go, and even any beauty couldn't go.
Moreover, the status of the person who goes there cannot be particularly high. If it is high, he will be taken down by Yelu Mingjing and used in exchange for Yelu Ling.
The death of a beauty whose status is not that high will not mean much. Instead, it will make Yelu Mingjing disgusted and even contradict her.
He would feel that the beauty sent someone with a low status to deliberately look down on him and not be sincere enough.
Besides, now that he sees a beautiful woman, regardless of her status, his teeth will itch.
This suitable person must be from Dongbo, and his status must not be enough to exchange for Yelvling.
"If you can't think of a candidate for the moment, I'll go and have a look."
Ning Haitang looked at Lin Ye: "Are you waiting for the right person to realize himself?"
Lin Ye nodded: "If he is not smart enough, he will go in vain and die in vain. If he is brave but not resourceful, it will not work. If he is resourceful but not courageous, he will not work."
Ning Haitang said: "Then there is no need to wait. It seems that he is not smart enough. There are generals in our army who were born in Dongbo. Their courage and strategies are quite good. I will call them here. Can you take a look at them?"
This is the next best option. Even if the candidates in Ning Haitang's army are more courageous and smarter than Jin Wu, it is still the next best option.
Jin Wu is the most suitable person as the border general at the center of the storm.
"That's fine."
Lin Ye nodded: "You pick someone."
Ning Haitang hummed and turned to leave. As soon as he opened the curtain of the big tent, he saw a dark figure rushing over.
Ning Haitang dodged and Jin Wu knelt on the ground with a plop.
