Please surrender?
Meng Jue surrenders?
When Wei Yunyi heard Lu An's words.
He quickly stood up, an expression of disbelief on his face.
Why are you asking for surrender for no reason?
Although he knew that Meng Jue and his Baiyue army had been attacking the city gate in recent times, he also ordered the three armies not to act rashly and only needed to guard the city gate.
After several major battles, the losses on both sides were not too great, which was nothing in a war.
According to Wei Yunyi's estimation, the Baiyue side was in the same situation, and they didn't even suffer any serious injuries.
I thought that as long as this situation continued, it would consume national strength.
But how long has it been since then, and Meng Jue is actually asking for surrender?
What's going on?
Wei Yunyi couldn't help but look at Lu An and said, "Are you sure Meng Jue really wants to surrender? Is there a trick?"
"Your Majesty, it shouldn't be fake. The Baiyue have even raised their white flags." Lu An continued with a smile, "Also, I know Meng Jue well. He is arrogant and proud. Even if he were to use a trick, there would be no need to resort to false surrender, as it would be too humiliating."
"Moreover, most of the Baiyue people are quite proud. Even if Meng Jue pretended to surrender, many people would not be able to lose face. I saw not only Meng Jue, but also those high-ranking officials, all of them came out."
"Besides, all the troops under my command are following behind us. There is no one ambushing us. Therefore, this surrender must be genuine!"
Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong also showed excitement on their faces.
Although they knew before that Baiyue could not hold on.
But he thought that a battle was necessary to determine the winner between the two sides. However, he did not expect that Meng Jue was indeed a man of character. He knew that if this continued, the only ones who would suffer would be Baiyue, and surrender was the best solution.
As long as we don't continue the war, there will be no problems in the rear, and we won't have to collect food and fodder from those tribes.
It has to be said that Meng Jue, the lord of Baiyue, was quite good to the civilians under his command.
Of course, the two thought that his decision was very wise!
Even if the other party only uses the word "please".
But looking at the current situation, I don’t know whether it means surrender or not?
But at this time, Wei Yunyi was very unhappy.
Everything was going according to plan, but Meng Jue didn't know what went wrong in his head...
Please surrender?
The fight hasn't even started yet, and the opponent's strength hasn't been damaged, so why ask for surrender?
Immediately, Wei Yunyi instinctively wanted to refuse and was ready to order Lu An and others to ignore it.
Are you kidding? If we accept the surrender, wouldn't all our efforts over the past few days be completely wasted? The crisis in the north had already been temporarily resolved, and now this battle is equivalent to pacifying the south.
This means that the future Wei Dynasty will not be threatened by external enemies for at least ten years. In this case, to what extent will its fortune soar?
Wei Yunyi didn't dare to think about it, nor did he want to think about it, so refusing to surrender was the wisest thing to do now.
But just before he was about to give the order, he suddenly hesitated.
Because Wei Yunyi thought of it.
If we refuse to surrender, what if Meng Jue directly escapes into the mountains?
Then this southern expedition has ended, and it was still a great victory. The most fundamental result is still no change, and the luck will still increase.
Therefore, I must not make any decision casually. I must remember that the purpose of my southern expedition is to deplete national strength.
It has only been less than two months since the war ended, and its impact on the country's destiny can be said to be quite limited.
Therefore, we must be extremely cautious.
The current situation is that Meng Jue wants to surrender, although no one knows why.
But one thing is certain, the other party must have some difficulties and felt that they could not defeat the Wei Dynasty, so they chose to surrender. Otherwise, would there be any other reasons?
It would be better if you could first understand the specific reasons yourself, and if there are any difficulties, think about solving them?
Wei Yunyi thought about it and felt that this method was feasible, because what he needed to do was to continuously extend the duration of this southern expedition, so as to continuously consume national strength.
Just like the last settlement, the reason why the luck increased by 10,000 was definitely because he led the troops to fight and consumed a lot of financial resources.
After all, when it comes to war, on the surface, he only brought an army of 200,000.
But in fact, including the laborers who transported food and supplies, as well as various other miscellaneous tasks, the number of people mobilized was definitely more than 300,000.
As long as the war continues, the cost of these people will become higher and higher, and even a country like Wei will definitely not be able to bear it.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and said, "Okay, in that case, I'll go see what Meng Jue is up to. Lu An, lead the way. I want to leave the city."
Everyone present was shocked when these words came out. Lu An couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, you are going to go to the battle and accept Meng Jue's surrender? This is too dangerous. Meng Jue is a defeated general. He should be allowed to meet Your Majesty."
"Yes, Your Majesty, please sit in the palace. General Lu will send someone to escort Meng Jue to the palace."
Song Gongwen and others spoke up, feeling that this was somewhat dangerous.
Even if Meng Jue asks for surrender, His Majesty cannot be allowed to leave the city directly and put himself in danger.
"What are you afraid of? I have Lin Chong and the Imperial Camp, so there's nothing to worry about." Wei Yunyi spoke immediately and made up his mind.
He wanted to know the specific reason why Meng Jue surrendered, whether he was in the palace or not. Moreover, he had been staying in the palace since arriving at Zhennan Pass, so he could take this opportunity to go out and take a look.
