Take the initiative?
After Wang Lin finished speaking.
Everyone's face showed a look of shock.
Even the barbarian leader Meng Jue acted like this, as if the other party was joking.
That was the Great Wei Dynasty, the most powerful country in the Eastern Continent today, and its national strength was at its peak.
Whether in domestic affairs or in military affairs, it is extremely stable. In the eyes of other countries, it is an existence that cannot be provoked at will. It also has a million-strong army that can be dispatched at any time and obey orders.
Not to mention the current Baiyue, even if they became ten times stronger, they would not be able to pose a threat to the Wei Dynasty.
They must be extremely cautious when facing such opponents, because if they face them, they will most likely be wiped out and completely crushed.
Now, Wang Lin actually wants to take the initiative to attack the Wei Dynasty. Even though there are only more than 200,000 troops of the Wei Dynasty in Zhennan Pass today, it is still an existence that the Baiyue cannot resist.
Taking the initiative? That would be courting death!
"Wang Lin, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Not to mention our crushing defeat in the last battle, even if we didn't suffer any losses, it would be impossible to defeat Wei head-on."
"If I didn't know that you, Wang Lin, were the insider sent by Baiyue to Wei, I would have suspected that you did this on purpose."
"Yeah, we failed once, do you want to do it again?"
"You are so cruel!"
After the others realized what was happening, they all shook their heads and said with a hint of sarcasm, obviously still remembering yesterday's failure.
If the Emperor of Wei had not released them later, none of the people present would have been able to return to Baiyue alive.
So they completely scoffed at Wang Lin's words.
"Shut up first."
At this time, Meng Jue spoke up, thought for a moment, and said, "I want to hear why."
Even the surprise attack failed, even though that was when the Wei Dynasty was well prepared. However, he had already seen the gap between Baiyue and the Wei Dynasty. He knew very well that when facing such an opponent, he should avoid its edge. Facing it head-on would definitely not be beneficial.
Therefore, after leaving Zhennan Pass, Meng Jue was thinking about one issue in his mind, which was to take his men and escape into the mountains.
After all, Baiyue is their home ground. No matter how powerful Wei is, it is impossible for them to chase into the mountains, right?
If this is true, then the disadvantage can be turned into an advantage for them.
Wang Lin’s statement now made him a little confused.
"Master Barbarian, I understand your thoughts."
At this moment, Wang Lin spoke up and explained, "That's right. The Baiyue are definitely no match for the Wei in a direct confrontation. The best option is to retreat into the mountains and avoid a fight. This is also the most advantageous for us."
"But Barbarian Lord, have you ever thought about this? Can we, the Baiyue, really rest easy by doing this? Regardless of the Great Wei's strength, it can definitely sustain a draw with us. Even if they don't want to waste time and attack first, we will probably be caught in a passive position. The thousands of mountains of the Baiyue can hold us back for a while, but not forever. If the Great Wei is truly determined to make a lasting effort, we, the Baiyue, will be in danger."
This argument caused the senior officials of Baiyue present to sneer.
"Wang Lin, you underestimate Baiyue and overestimate Wei, don't you?"
"Yes, the vast mountains of Baiyue have always been a nightmare for the armies of the Central Plains dynasties. Throughout history, Baiyue has never lost a major battle on our home turf, and has even won many."
"That's right. If the Wei Dynasty really dares to send troops out of Zhennan Pass, I will kill as many as they come."
Everyone was very angry and felt that Wang Lin was exaggerating too much.
The people of the Central Plains of Baiyue were not familiar with it at all.
In their view, the bows and crossbows and infantry of the Wei Dynasty were indeed the best in the world, and even their cavalry was second only to the grasslands, and could be used in any major war.
But these advantages are nothing to the Baiyue. In the mountainous and watery areas, and even various thorns and swamps, the usefulness of cavalry and bows and crossbows will be greatly weakened. Although the impact on the infantry is limited, that's all.
However, this large army of ours has lived in this place since childhood and has completely adapted to the environment, so there is no impact at all.
But according to Wang Lin, it seemed that they had no chance of winning at all. How could they not be angry?
However, the Barbarian Lord was very calm. He said nothing and motioned the other party to continue.
Wang Lin took a deep breath and said, "Indeed, what you all said is correct. But you must know that the Emperor of Wei is personally leading an army of 200,000. After entering Baiyue, he will indeed have no advantage and may even be defeated by us. But what will happen next? Will the Emperor of Wei become angry and humiliated? The Eastern Continent countries are now in chaos. Gaoyang has been destroyed, the grasslands have suffered a huge blow, and Tiandu is also in chaos."
"What does this mean? It means that the Great Wei can concentrate all its energy on dealing with the Baiyue. Can we withstand the full force of a powerful dynasty? Even if we can, what if the Great Wei Emperor transfers the Champion Marquis of the Great Wei?"
At this point, his eyes began to change. He said, "Barbarian Lord, my lords, I've been in the Great Wei for such a long time and learned a lot. Putting aside the internal affairs, what caught my attention and shocked me the most was the emergence of a Champion Marquis in the Great Wei. He comes from a family of scholars and has received no military training since childhood, yet his military talent is simply astonishing. His two expeditions so far have both been astonishing. The first saw the destruction of Gaoyang in a single battle, and the second saw the capture of the Khan of the Nine Grassland Tribes alive."
"I was in Zhennan Pass and heard Lu An's evaluation of this man. He is young and full of vigor, a child of destiny, and a natural-born general. Lu An said that in all his years of fighting, he has never seen anyone like him. He never fights according to military tactics, yet he always achieves unimaginable results. Barbarian Lord, and all the lords, if the Emperor of Wei transfers this man to Zhennan Pass, what will we do?"
