Otherwise, when the southern expedition ends one day and we have to return to the capital, it would be a wasted trip.
At this moment, everyone looked at each other in surprise after hearing this.
His Majesty wanted to leave the palace and go outside the city to personally accept the surrender. Naturally, they did not dare to stop him, and in the end they had no choice but to accept it.
However, Song Gongwen had a request, which was that the Imperial Camp and General Lin should accompany him and should not be more than five steps away to prevent any accidents.
Wei Yunyi also agreed. In fact, he didn't care much about it.
Because his own cultivation has reached the fourth level.
This level of martial arts skills is definitely considered powerful in today's world. Even though the barbarian leader looks tall, he is definitely not his opponent if they really fight.
However, he knew in his heart that these people were doing this for his own good, so he didn't say much.
Soon, under everyone's arrangement, Wei Yunyi rode on the dragon chariot and left the palace with the emperor's support.
Since the surrender was accepted and the emperor went there in person, this must demonstrate the true majesty of the Wei Dynasty.
...
"Barbarian Lord, do you think the Emperor of Wei will accept our request for peace?"
At this time, outside Zhennan Pass, at the forefront of the Baiyue army, a senior official looked at Meng Jue and said hesitantly.
The others, including Wang Lin, also turned around, obviously having the same question in their minds.
"I don't know, but if we ask for peace, it means surrender to them. Ending the war sooner is definitely what the Wei Emperor wants. Maintaining food and drink for an army of 200,000 people every day is a burden even for the Wei."
"If the war can be ended as soon as possible, I'm sure the Emperor of Wei will not refuse."
Meng Jue thought for a moment and said so.
He led his army to surrender, which can be said to have given the Emperor of Wei enough face.
This move can also make some previous rumors urgent. With various factors added together, the other party will definitely agree.
"What if the Emperor of Wei doesn't accept it and deliberately wants to humiliate us?" At this time, another senior official spoke up and put forward this possibility.
Their coming here had already put aside the face of the Baiyue people, so many soldiers did not quite understand. If the other party did not accept it and left them outside the city, it would be like stepping on their faces.
In this case, even if they want to endure it, they will probably get angry, and many of their subordinates will probably be even more angry.
So he wanted to know what decision the Barbarian Lord would make at that time.
"If the Emperor of Wei wants to trample on our dignity, then I will no longer ask for peace. At worst, we can fight Wei to the death. For the sake of survival, we Baiyue can temporarily give up our dignity, but that doesn't mean we can allow others to trample on us."
"Since the first step and the second step are both impossible, it would be better to die with dignity!"
Meng Jue spoke, his tone firm.
As he said, dignity can be temporarily abandoned, but it cannot be trampled upon arbitrarily.
So what if the Wei Dynasty is powerful? The Baiyue people cannot be bullied at will. Meng Jue cannot lead these 60,000 men. He cannot let the Wei Dynasty suffer!
After hearing this, the others immediately felt relieved and their eyes became determined.
That’s right, this time they asked for peace for the sake of their soldiers and civilians.
If it's just me, it doesn't matter if I die and lose everything.
But now, no one wanted innocent people to die, so they all agreed with Meng Jue's decision to ask for peace.
But if they are pushed into a corner, the result will be different. In order to protect the dignity of Baiyue, they must fight to the bitter end.
Wang Lin’s thoughts were similar to everyone else’s.
now.
They said nothing more and looked forward.
Not long after, the gate of Zhennan Pass opened, which shocked Meng Jue and others. They had been attacking for a long time but to no avail, but now they finally succeeded.
At the same time, everyone was still wondering who the Wei Dynasty would send out to accept their peace request.
The next moment, when everyone saw the person walking out of the city gate, they were all shocked.
It was a dragon chariot pulled by six horses.
Sitting above was a man wearing a dragon robe.
He is the Emperor of Wei.
They didn't expect that it was the Emperor of Wei who came out in person.
"The Emperor of Wei has arrived." At this moment, Wang Jin, who was standing beside the dragon chariot, spoke loudly.
Behind him, teams of imperial guards also walked out from the side. Each of them looked straight ahead with murderous intent. Led by Lin Chong, they looked towards the Baiyue army.
Lin Chong had previously informed everyone that Your Majesty might encounter a crisis at any time while accepting the surrender.
Therefore everyone must be vigilant in case of any accidents.
The imperial guards were all elite soldiers, and they naturally knew that the matter was of great importance. Therefore, they all stood with great vigor beside the dragon chariot.
At the same time, Lu An, Song Gongwen and others also accompanied him. His Majesty had already left the city gate in person, so of course they couldn't stay in the city. They thought that this way, they could better protect His Majesty.
Soon, the dragon chariot came to a stop about a hundred steps in front of the Baiyue army, and Wei Yunyi also slowly walked out from it.
But he did not move forward. There was no way he could do that because his men would not allow him to do so.
Worried that something might happen to me.
Therefore, Wei Yunyi stood on the dragon chariot, wearing a dragon robe, and then said: "Meng Jue, you led the Baiyue army to ask for peace with my great Wei. You can be said to have turned back. I am deeply pleased. Please come forward."
There is certainly nothing wrong with asking for surrender within one's own ranks, but in this situation, saying so is equivalent to giving the other party face.
