This made Meng Jue feel something was wrong.
The current situation is completely different from what was expected.
I thought that after receiving the news, the Wei Dynasty would at least give some response.
But now he doesn't take it to heart at all. He has launched such a high-profile attack, shouldn't the other party choose to fight back?
"Wang Lin." Helplessly, he once again asked Wang Lin to come over, and then said: "You heard what I just said. The Great Wei is completely unconcerned about our surprise attack. What do you think we should do now?"
Wang Lin also fell silent, because he did not expect that Da Wei would react like this.
This shouldn't happen. The enemy is already at our doorstep, so we have to do something, right?
Or did the Emperor of Wei see through his plan?
But when he thought about it, he felt it was impossible.
Because on the surface, the gap in strength between the two sides is too big, the Wei Dynasty’s garrison at Zhennan Pass can just send a part of it to deal with it.
Even if they knew it was a plot, they certainly wouldn't care. After all, their side had already delivered it to their doorstep.
Could it be that the Emperor of Wei is still waiting for the Baiyue army to hide directly in the mountains?
That would be even more troublesome, and we would definitely take action when it was time to do so.
Therefore, after a moment's thought, Wang Lin said, "The Great Wei's reaction was indeed unexpected, but Barbarian Lord, I don't think there's anything to worry about. Aren't they choosing not to send troops to fight? Very good, then we can force them to send troops out of the city. We can also learn from the Central Plains' challenge."
"Even if they choose not to pay attention at first, as time goes on, once the news of Zhennan Pass spreads, the various countries, even within the Great Wei, will surely start to say that the so-called southern expeditionary army dares not respond to the attack."
"You must know that this time, the Emperor of Wei is personally leading the expedition. No matter what happens, it is closely related to the Emperor of Wei. If this matter gets out, it will definitely make him lose face. At that time, he will have no choice but to fight."
The Baiyue people now have no choice but to move in one direction.
Let Wei send troops out of the city, and then rely on the terrain of Baiyue to consume the enemy's strength.
Only in this way can we seize a chance of survival.
Therefore, after hearing this, Meng Jue immediately nodded, thinking that this was the only way.
So he didn't say much, but just gave orders to his troops again, asking them to move forward at full speed.
However, precisely because of this, Meng Jue became even more certain of one thing: the Emperor of Wei was no simple figure and was extremely difficult to deal with. Although he was young, he had amazing methods. He could not let his guard down even slightly when facing this man.
This also made him start to sigh that the Wei Dynasty was really blessed by God, and it even produced five generations of wise rulers.
The current young emperor has surpassed all the previous emperors of the Wei Dynasty. With such an emperor, it is impossible for the Wei Dynasty not to become powerful.
Even Meng Jue himself sometimes thought that it would be nice to work under such a person.
It’s a pity that the two are enemies and cannot get along with each other.
At that moment, he didn't think too much.
He led his soldiers and rushed towards Zhennan Pass at full speed.
at the same time.
In the commander-in-chief's tent at Zhennan Pass, Lu An, the chief general, continued to receive news from the Baiyue army.
Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong were also present, but they were civil servants, so they did not participate in military affairs. They just watched from the side and offered suggestions from time to time.
As for how to deal with it in the end, it all depends on Lu An's decision.
The two of them knew it very well.
In matters like this, you must not overstep your authority, otherwise you may easily get into trouble.
Even if Your Majesty is kind and merciful, what can we do about it? We can't possibly embarrass Your Majesty at that time, right?
"Report, General!" At this moment, a scout rushed in, knelt on one knee, and immediately said: "General, the Baiyue army is less than five miles away from our Zhennan Pass and is still advancing. Leading them is none other than Meng Jue, the Lord of Baiyue!"
"Got it, go down." Lu An nodded, then waved his hand to signal the scout to go down, and rubbed his eyebrows.
At this time, the commanders of various divisions in the camp became restless after hearing the news.
"General, let me lead the troops to meet the enemy. I guarantee victory!"
"Yes, General, now is the best time to send troops."
"That's right, just give the order, General!"
All the generals and soldiers spoke up and asked to go into battle.
Each of them was very excited. After all, such opportunities to make meritorious service were rare, and they would never have believed it before.
Meng Jue, the always difficult lord of Baiyue, actually chose to take the initiative to lead his army and rush towards Zhennan Pass. Although they didn't know the reason, they knew that whether they could achieve merit depended on today.
However, Lu An, the commander-in-chief, showed a helpless look when he heard his generals ask him to stand.
He looked at the people present, paused, and said directly, "This time, the Baiyue army is attacking. Our Zhennan Pass will not take any action to fight back. This general's orders are to strictly guard every gate of Zhennan Pass to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack. Everyone, if you have no objection, go down and make arrangements."
When these words were spoken, the generals at Zhennan Pass present were stunned and confused.
Faced with the massive attack of the Baiyue army, the general did not fight back. Instead, he ordered his soldiers to retreat into the city and only engage in passive defense. What's the logic behind this?
At once, everyone stood up, ready to say something.
But at this time, Lu An stopped and said directly.
"I understand your thoughts perfectly, but some things aren't as simple as you think. Meng Jue is a cautious and steady person, as you all know. What if we rush into battle and end up falling into a trap?"
