"Okay, stop talking and follow the orders."
It is said that military orders are as heavy as mountains and must be strictly followed by subordinates, but sometimes sufficient reasons must be given.
Especially this time, Lu An knew that his soldiers were eager to make achievements, so if he didn't say more.
What if someone disobeys orders and acts on their own?
This is an order from His Majesty, an imperial decree. If anything goes wrong, everyone who can escape will be tried by military law.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the generals didn't say much and went down to carry out the order.
"It seems that leading troops is not as easy as imagined."
At this time, Song Gongwen, who had been silent all the time, spoke up and sighed.
It is not an easy task to make the soldiers resolutely carry out orders. Although the generals under Lu An did not understand the order, they did not say anything and carried it out directly.
"It is very important to govern the army and enforce discipline." Lin Yuansong spoke, obviously agreeing with what Song Gongwen said.
"Since His Majesty has given the order, as a subject, I must obey without question."
Lu An smiled and said, "However, the Barbarian Lord Meng Jue, with his 60,000 men, has been making such a grand move towards our Zhennan Pass. This is the first time. If Your Majesty agrees that I can lead the army to fight..."
He stopped talking immediately, obviously thinking this was a good opportunity.
Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong didn't say much, because they didn't know why His Majesty chose to keep his troops in place.
Even though they are much stronger than the enemy, they still do this...
However, doubts remain.
Everyone will still resolutely carry out this order.
During the following period of time, everyone kept a close eye on the news from the Baiyue side.
However, Wei Yunyi's order was to defend the city, so they didn't have to make too many preparations. They just had to guard various positions and couldn't send troops to attack, so what they could do was very limited.
The Baiyue army, led by Meng Jue, finally chose to stop at the foot of Zhennan Pass.
They didn't really want to attack, but wanted to lure out the Wei army.
So in the end, Meng Jue followed Wang Lin's advice.
Let his men challenge him.
According to the Central Plains method, it is as difficult as it sounds.
Because he knew that the defenders of Zhennan Pass could only obey the orders of the Emperor of Wei, so the person he targeted was Wei Yunyi.
The generals guarding Zhennan Pass could not stand this any more, so they went to Lu An to ask for battle, wanting to send troops to wipe out the Baiyue army outside. After all, the one who was scolding was the emperor of their Great Wei, so who could sit idly by?
Although Lu An was very angry about this, he had no choice because the emperor had given the order not to go to war.
It's impossible for me to not even listen to His Majesty's words, right? So I told my subordinates to ignore it.
As long as the enemy does not launch an attack, do not open the city gates to fight.
He also restrained his subordinates and did not allow them to even shoot arrows from behind.
At this moment, at the gate of Zhennan Pass.
Meng Jue looked at his men who had challenged him, who had come in waves, and then looked at the sky.
It had been more than two hours since he arrived at the city of Zhennan Pass, but the other party still had no reaction, and no one even stood up to speak.
This made him wonder if the Emperor of Wei knew that the Baiyue army was approaching the city. Otherwise, how could he do this? But would the ministers and generals of Wei really dare to deceive their superiors and hide the truth from their subordinates?
Meng Jue was very skeptical about this, knowing that the Emperor of Wei had extremely high prestige in Wei and held all the power.
It's impossible that anyone would dare to hide this matter at this time.
But if that's not the case.
The Baiyue army had clearly arrived, but why didn't the Wei emperor even dare to fight?
Could it be that the Emperor of Wei already knew all his plans?
Thinking of this, Meng Jue couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
But it still feels impossible.
If the Emperor of Wei was really able to plan everything, he would have destroyed Baiyue long ago. So all this is just a coincidence.
Afterwards, he summoned Wang Lin again to discuss the details of Shanglin’s battle and what to do next.
Judging from the current situation, it is definitely not possible to rely on challenging Wei to send troops.
Therefore, we must come up with a better way.
Make the enemy feel that they have an opportunity to take advantage of and annihilate the Baiyue army in one blow.
Simply put, they wanted to try every possible means to force Wei to send out troops to fight, and then they could retreat into the mountains, leaving Wei too exhausted to deal with the situation.
So, in the end, Meng Jue and Wang Lin made a decision to set up camp less than five miles outside Zhennan Pass, pretending to be ready for a long battle, and no one sent anyone to challenge them.
This matter must not only spread throughout Zhennan Pass, but also let the countries in the Eastern Continent know about it, to see where the Emperor of Wei puts his face!
Soon, under his command, all the Baiyue soldiers began to move and set up camp here.
In the past, such a thing would never have happened, and the defenders of Zhennan Pass would definitely not agree to it.
After all, the enemy is right in front of them, and their only option is to send troops to fight directly.
But because of Lu An's order, no one acted rashly.
He could only watch the enemy in front of him.
When Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong heard the news, they were completely shocked and found it hard to believe.
