At this moment, Meng Jue, the Lord of Baiyue, was looking at the Emperor of Wei in front of him.
I was extremely fearful in my heart.
Before this, he also got to know the other party and knew that the emperor of Wei was a man of great talent and strategy, strong in external affairs and reforming internally.
Even though he was on the throne for only three years, he made many achievements and was a well-deserved wise ruler.
But I didn't expect that this person was so powerful and skilled in military affairs.
Meng Jue also studied the military tactics of the Central Plains and even had unique insights.
That is why he was able to unify the Baiyue tribes in a short period of time and become the first ruler of the Baiyue.
But in his eyes, the plan used by the Emperor of Wei was completely different from that of ordinary military generals. He actually used the excuse of clearing the court of corrupt officials to make himself think that he had an opportunity.
It can be said that the other side did not stick to ordinary military strategies, but combined political means into one.
This was the first time Meng Jue had seen such a method, so he felt that his loss was not unfair.
Of course, not being unfair is one thing, but other things are another.
However, Wei Yunyi, who had no idea what Meng Jue was thinking, was confused again.
He couldn't understand why a plan that was just for fun and that anyone could see through was described as unexpected by the other party.
To be honest, at this moment Wei Yunyi couldn't help but wonder what was going on in the mind of the Lord of Baiyue in front of him.
He thought for a moment and continued, "You said your loss wasn't unfair. In other words, you think Baiyue failed and is no match for the Great Wei?"
Wei Yunyi had no idea how the battle was won, and he asked this question just to test the waters.
If the other side loses the will to fight against Wei because of this battle.
Then everything I did before was completely useless.
after all.
He really hopes to have an opponent like Baiyue, which will not pose a threat to Wei, but it must exist.
After all, the more enemies a country has, the more effectively its fortune can be curbed. If the other party does not dare to face the Wei Dynasty, then the country's fortune will probably rise again.
No matter what, I can't bear it.
"I am no match for the Wei Dynasty, but that doesn't mean Baiyue is no match!"
At this time, Meng Jue spoke again, narrowing his eyes. "In the eyes of your Great Wei, Baiyue is indeed a barbaric land, but the people living on this land of Baiyue are not much worse than the people of your Great Wei. We can learn and understand your so-called Confucian culture. In other aspects, we are even better than you."
"The Baiyue people are mountainous and have complex terrain. You might think that many places are unsuitable for arable land, but we Baiyue can grow rice in the high mountains. With strong perseverance, we can also be self-sufficient. If we hadn't been restricted by the Central Plains Dynasty, our culture might not be inferior to that of the Central Plains Dynasty!"
In his eyes, he was no match for the Great Wei and its emperor.
But the Baiyue people are also good at creativity and can do well in harsh environments.
Even the crops they grew were self-sufficient despite being blocked by the Central Plains dynasty.
Compared to the grassland people who only knew how to plunder, the Baiyue people were much stronger and unified the various tribes themselves. If given enough time, they could also build a powerful country like the Wei Dynasty.
Therefore, in his eyes, Baiyue is no worse than Wei.
Even if I have lost completely now!
And Meng Jue’s words.
This also prevented Song Gongwen and others present from speaking out in rebuttal.
Indeed, if we must say it, the Baiyue were not barbarians, they were just restricted for a long time.
Throughout the dynasties in the Central Plains, apart from territorial disputes with the Baiyue, the Baiyue did not plunder the Central Plains like they did in the grasslands.
Even because they have been influenced by the Central Plains culture for hundreds of years, there has been no massacre of Central Plains people even after the victory.
And this leader of Baiyue is indeed a man of character. The fact that he was able to unify Baiyue speaks volumes.
It’s a pity that the two sides are enemies and rivals.
Therefore, it is not easy to express admiration directly.
certainly.
Unlike everyone else's thoughts, Wei Yunyi heard another meaning in Meng Jue's mind.
That means the other party is not convinced.
That's right.
I just don’t accept it!
Doesn't that mean that if Meng Jue is given another chance, he will not make a comeback?
Huh? A comeback?
Suddenly, Wei Yunyi had an idea.
What if I let him go? What if I give him a chance? Would that mean I could continue this southern expedition?
Of course, in his mind, if he released the Lord of Baiyue, the war would continue, but he could choose not to take the initiative to send troops. In this way, he could not only give Wei an additional opponent, but also have an excuse to stay in Zhennan Pass.
After all, at the beginning, Wei Yunyi just wanted to stay in this place for a few months and spend the money in the national treasury.
But now, it’s not even been a month and the war is over, which is totally out of plan.
So now, I have to find a way to keep this war going.
And the only way.
They started with the barbarian leader Meng Jue.
After all, if this person is captured, the southern expedition will basically be impossible to fight.
Therefore, there is only one way, which is to let the other party go and maintain the status quo!
Yes, that's it.
The more Wei Yunyi thought about it, the better it seemed. So he looked at Meng Jue in front of him, was silent for a moment, and said, "What if I give you another chance, a chance to start over, and send you back to Baiyue? Do you think you can defeat my Great Wei?"
