Chapter 752 Jade Unicorn General Ye Lin
Chapter 752 Jade Unicorn General Ye Lin
Long Junzuo pondered for a long time in his tent before finally making up his mind.
He slowly walked to the desk, picked up the pen, wrote a few lines, then carefully folded the letter and put it into the envelope.
After doing all this, he took a deep breath, as if to expel all the frustration in his heart.
"Go and invite Ye Lin here. Tell him I have something important to discuss with him."
He stood up, strode out of the tent, and gave instructions to the guards outside.
The guards obeyed the order and soon brought Ye Lin to Long Junzuo's presence.
The trusted confidant obeyed and left. Before long, Ye Lin was brought before Long Junzuo.
During this period, although Ye Lin was under house arrest, Long Junzuo did not mistreat him. On the contrary, he treated him with a strange respect, which made Ye Lin feel quite emotional.
"Brother Ye, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
Long Junzuo stood up and greeted Ye Lin with a smile.
Ye Lin was stunned. He didn't expect Long Junzuo to see him at this time, and he didn't expect Long Junzuo to show him such a smile.
"General Long, what brings you here?"
He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said calmly.
"Brother Ye, although we serve different masters, there's no need to be so formal, is there? Come, have some tea first, and let's chat."
Long Junzuo invited Ye Lin to sit down, then personally poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him.
Ye Lin took the teacup, but did not rush to drink it. Instead, he looked at Long Junzuo with a questioning look, as if waiting for the other party to continue. He secretly wondered what Long Junzuo was up to.
"Brother Ye, although we serve different masters, I, Long Junzuo, am still willing to acknowledge you as my friend on the battlefield."
"I've invited you here today because there's something important I need to discuss with you."
Seeing this, Long Junzuo gave a wry smile, gestured for Ye Lin to sit down, and then sat opposite him, his eyes revealing a hint of sincerity.
"Could it be related to the war in Wenzhou or Quezhou outside?"
Ye Lin's heart stirred, and he vaguely guessed what was going on.
Although he has been under house arrest in Wenzhou City by Long Junzuo, he is aware that Long Junzuo is besieged by the Jiuxiao Army and knows that he is one of Long Junzuo's bargaining chips.
"The King of Sparrows has committed suicide by self-immolation, and Sparrow State has been lost. Although I, Long Junzuo, am determined to avenge the King of Sparrows, it is a matter of time and fate, and the tide has turned against us."
"Now our army is fighting alone and the situation is very precarious. Han Xin's Jiuxiao Army is besieging Wenzhou City but not attacking. Their intention is self-evident. They are waiting for me to collapse or for Xiang Yu to lead his army north to join forces with them to attack me from both sides."
"The Dragon Sparrow Army under my command is an elite force renowned throughout the Great Yong Dynasty and even the world. I cannot allow them to follow me to destruction."
Long Junzuo nodded, his expression becoming serious.
Whether he dies or not is not important, but he cannot let the Dragon Sparrow Army of Dayong, a force that has symbolized the elite of Dayong since the founding of the Dayong Dynasty, be buried here with him.
Now that the King of Mahjong has passed away, the fall of Mahjong Prefecture is a foregone conclusion.
As the commander of the contemporary Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army, he has the responsibility and obligation to find a good place for the Dayong Dragon Sparrow Army.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin remained silent. He understood Long Junzuo's situation and comprehended his choice.
In chaotic times, loyalty is important, but survival and the lives of one's soldiers are even more important.
"So, I've decided..."
"I've decided to negotiate with Han Xin's Nine Heavens Army... to find a way out for the Great Yong Dragon Sparrow Army!"
Long Junzuo took a deep breath, as if to unload the heavy burden in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly understood.
He knew Long Junzuo and knew it was a wise and responsible decision.
"So, you called me here because..."
Ye Lin asked tentatively.
"Brother Ye, although I, Long Junzuo, am loyal to the Dayong Dynasty, I am not a blindly loyal person."
"The situation is now clear: Xiang Yu's momentum is unstoppable. If I continue to resist, I am afraid I will only face certain death."
"Not only myself, but also my Great Yong Dragon Sparrow Army will perish here, so I am already considering whether I should follow the trend and submit to the Nine Heavens Army."
Long Junzuo looked into Ye Lin's eyes and said earnestly.
"I have now written a letter and intend to send it to Han Xin by messenger, but before that, I would like to ask you, Brother Ye, for a favor."
Then Long Junzuo took a deep breath and said with a firm expression.
"What kind of help?"
Ye Lin frowned and asked in confusion.
"General Ye, this is why I invited you here. I want you to act as an envoy, go out of the city to meet Han Xin, convey my intention to surrender, and find out his opinion."
"The general is a veteran of the Nine Heavens Army, and your son is now acquainted with Han Xin. He will surely listen to you."
Long Junzuo looked at Ye Lin, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes.
That's why he's been serving Ye Lin good food and drink; it's all for this situation.
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion. He never expected that his former nemesis would now ask him to do such a thing.
"Alright, I agree, but General Long, you must also be prepared. Your surrender will not be a simple matter; there may be many twists and turns along the way."
"If General Han has other plans, I cannot disrupt his plans because of this."
He looked at Long Junzuo, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly nodded.
Despite his feelings, Ye Lin still had a clear understanding of right and wrong.
Although I feel somewhat saddened by the fate of my former nemesis, Long Junzuo.
However, he would not use his seniority to his advantage and disrupt General Han's plans against the Nine Heavens Army.
Upon hearing this, Long Junzuo felt relieved. He knew that as long as Ye Lin agreed to step in, the matter would be more than half successful.
"General Ye, I entrust this matter to you. No matter what the outcome of your trip, Junzuo will always remember your great kindness."
He bowed to Ye Lin with his hands clasped and said sincerely.
Ye Lin waved his hand, indicating that Long Junzuo didn't need to be so polite, then turned and walked out of the tent, feeling a little wistful in his heart.
Back then, he and Long Junzuo served different masters and fought each other on the battlefield. This battle lasted for half their lives, and he was even captured alive by Long Junzuo in the final battle.
Now, however, they have come together for the sake of common survival. This truly shows how unpredictable and treacherous life can be.
However, having already promised Long Junzuo, Ye Lin would naturally do his best as long as he didn't cross any lines.
He straightened his clothes and, with Long Junzuo seeing him off, strode out of Wenzhou City toward Han Xin's camp.
After leaving the city, Ye Lin sped along and soon arrived at the camp of the Nine Heavens Army.
He revealed his identity and was successfully led by the guards to Han Xin's camp.
He then took a deep breath, strode into the tent, and met Han Xin and Pei Xingjian.
