But unexpectedly, he was captured in such an easy situation, in the first battle of the southern expedition...
this...
Wei Yunyi didn't know what to say.
He didn't understand why such a man would personally lead an army to attack Zhennan Pass? Who gave him the courage? How foolish!
In this case, doesn't this mean that the southern expedition is over? How long have I been in Zhennan Pass?
Including the journey, the war was over in less than a month.
Or in this way...
In the eyes of successive dynasties in the Central Plains, the Baiyue, who were unconquerable and extremely difficult to deal with, were defeated in this way.
"What's going on?" Wei Yunyi was tired, but still wanted to know the cause and effect.
Because it was so incredible, it was like a dream.
I don't know how the war ended, but I'm still okay with it.
But the problem is, he doesn't even know how the war started...
"All of this is naturally thanks to your Majesty's strategic planning. We are simply executing your plan." Lu An continued with respect on his face, "If your Majesty had not deliberately sought pleasure and showed weakness to the enemy, so that the Barbarian Lord thought they had an opportunity, they would certainly not have chosen to launch a surprise attack. In this case, it would have been extremely difficult for us soldiers at Zhennan Pass to fight them in Baiyue."
"But Your Majesty was farsighted and had already calculated all of this. That's why the Barbarian Lord led his men in a surprise attack, allowing us to seize this opportunity."
After saying this, he did not hide the admiration in his eyes at all.
Although in Lu An's opinion, this series of plans is very simple and even full of loopholes.
But the final result was exactly as planned, so there was no need to worry about anything else.
As long as the minister can achieve his strategic goal, nothing else matters.
What, my plan?
What are my plans?
Wei Yunyi was stunned, completely unable to understand the other party's meaning. He just asked with a hint of confusion: "What do you mean? What do I plan?"
This statement left everyone present confused, not understanding what it meant. They wondered if this wasn't something Eunuch Wang had revealed. Why did His Majesty seem to know nothing?
But soon, Lu An was the first to react. He suddenly realized that this was most likely a test from His Majesty.
What was the test? Naturally, he wanted to ask himself if these people could figure out his plan.
Otherwise, why ask such a clear question?
So, he bowed again and said, "As I just said, Your Majesty is deliberately seeking pleasure and showing weakness to the enemy. He knows that the enemy of Baiyue is difficult to deal with. If we take the initiative to attack, we will be put in a passive position. The only way is to deliberately expose a flaw."
"Although this plan isn't particularly brilliant, it's because Your Majesty used himself as bait. The Barbarian Lord is indeed a capable figure, but he knows full well that defeating the Wei Empire head-on is simply impossible. He can only achieve victory by surprise."
"But he didn't realize that this was something Your Majesty had deliberately made him think, and that's how we won this battle."
"No matter what, this is Your Majesty's wisdom!"
"Yes, your majesty is wise!"
Others also spoke up.
I had the same thought as Lu An: this was a deliberate test from His Majesty.
But these words made Wei Yunyi confused again. He sat there, not knowing how to start.
What do you mean by I deliberately sought pleasure, deliberately lured the Baiyue to launch a surprise attack, and deliberately created a loophole?
I have never considered these things.
It's not a plan.
My original intention was to make my subordinates feel that I had no intention of fighting, so as to shake their morale.
In this way, the southern expedition will become difficult and not smooth, which will consume the national finances and curb the fortune.
But in the end, how did it turn out like this?
Wei Yunyi was a little confused.
Because even after hearing these people's explanations, he still couldn't understand what was going on.
"Forget it." Finally, he could only sigh and say, "Forget it, let it be."
Really, Wei Yunyi really doesn’t want to say anything now.
Every time I want to do something.
But the results are always contrary to what he wants, leaving him at a loss. What can he say?
"Then, Your Majesty, what should be done with the Barbarian Lord and the Baiyue people?" Song Gongwen hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Barbarian Lord has been captured alive. Would Your Majesty like to see him?"
The status of the Barbarian Lord in the Baiyue is equivalent to that of the Khan of the various tribes on the grassland.
If they killed it directly, it might cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, but they didn't know what to do.
We can only let His Majesty handle it. If you handle it well, there will be almost no major wars in the southern border from now on, and the people in the southern border will also have a stable environment.
"Well... let's meet." Wei Yunyi thought about it and agreed.
He also wanted to see what kind of person this Lord of Baiyue was, who would be so impulsive as to attack Zhennan Pass.
Even if according to Lu An, it was the things he did that made the other party feel that they had an opportunity to take advantage of him, any discerning person could see that this might be a trap, right?
Not to mention those battle-hardened generals, even Wei Yunyi himself would not be fooled.
"Yes, I will bring him here right away."
Below, Lu An bowed and left.
After a while, five or six soldiers came in, escorting a tall, majestic man who was shackled.
