Meng Jue gave an order, asking all his troops to stop advancing.
He looked serious at the moment, turned his horse back, and then looked towards Zhennan Pass not far away.
"Barbarian Lord, what's wrong with you?" Wang Lin walked over with a look of confusion on his face.
The other high-ranking officials of the Baiyue tribe were also confused as to what had happened. They had all received food and supplies, and their worries had been resolved. Now was the perfect time to leave, but why didn't the Barbarian Lord leave again?
"What kind of person is the Emperor of Wei?" Meng Jue did not answer them directly, but turned around and asked.
After these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent and no one spoke.
If placed before.
These Baiyue high-ranking officials would say that the Emperor of Wei was strong and majestic, and was a formidable opponent.
After all, they had never encountered anyone who could force the barbarian lord Meng Jue to this extent.
Otherwise, people would not be convinced by him.
Therefore, the Emperor of Wei would be even more terrifying.
What's more, the other party controls such a huge dynasty, and its power is so terrifying that it is almost unimaginable.
Even before the war started, all the top leaders agreed that they might be able to make Wei suffer, but it was impossible to truly defeat the Wei in the present day.
How could the Baiyue people resist a powerful, unified and prosperous dynasty? They were able to survive in a corner because of the terrain.
If it weren't for those terrains, the Baiyue people would have been destroyed countless times by the Central Plains dynasties.
Everyone is very clear about their own weight.
But now.
After a series of recent events, the people present had a much different impression of the Emperor of Wei.
The other party can obviously use the most powerful means to deal with me, with an army of 200,000. Even if they have the advantage of terrain, how good can it be?
Moreover, this is not the true strength of the Wei Dynasty. If the whole country attacks it, they cannot predict what will become of Baiyue.
But the Emperor of Wei had no intention of doing so from the beginning to the end, and did not even take the initiative to send troops to attack.
Even facing their provocation, he seemed to be unconcerned.
From this perspective, there is absolutely no problem in calling it magnanimity.
Everyone knew that they had already had problems in their rear, with insufficient food and fodder, and because the tribes had stopped trading with Wei, it was difficult for them to survive the winter.
The Emperor of Wei must know this better than anyone else, so the other party can take advantage of this and trap the Baiyue people to death.
After all, this little bit of trade is nothing to the Wei Dynasty, and it won't kill them in a winter.
But what if there were two? Three? Could they handle it?
However, the Emperor of Wei not only did not do so, but instead provided food and fodder for their army and directly ordered the continuation of trade between the two sides. This series of events can be said to be worthy of the words benevolence and righteousness.
A magnanimous, benevolent and righteous monarch will be admired by everyone, even his enemies.
Therefore, after thinking for a while, they chose to speak, and their words were full of praise and admiration.
So what if they were enemies? For the high-ranking officials of Baiyue, what was was what was, and there was nothing wrong with acknowledging it.
The Emperor of Wei is indeed admired by everyone, and it is only right to say good things about him.
"You think the same as I do."
Hearing everyone's words, Meng Jue also spoke up, saying, "In my eyes, the Great Wei Emperor is a formidable opponent. He doesn't resort to conspiracies or tricks, and most of his schemes are overt. During our first battle, he could have imprisoned me, or even killed me outright, ending everything once and for all and plunging Baiyue into chaos again. But he didn't. Instead, he released me and my men."
"Also, during the second war, the Great Wei Emperor knew he could easily defeat the Baiyue, but he didn't. He restrained his men and didn't engage us head-on. This not only reduced unnecessary losses for both sides, but also gave us the opportunity to sue for peace."
"Finally, we will ask for peace. The Emperor of Wei will come out in person to provide us with food and continue to open up trade between the two sides."
"Everything he did exceeded my expectations and made me admire him."
"Such an emperor is a great ruler of the time, a benevolent and righteous ruler of all ages!"
When he said this, a hint of admiration emerged in his expression.
The others nodded without objection.
But at this moment, Wang Lin showed a strange look, as if he had a premonition of what would happen next.
Sure enough, the next moment, Meng Jue looked at everyone and spoke again: "Everyone, what if such an emperor could become the true master of Baiyue?"
When these words were spoken, everyone's eyes widened, first in shock, and then began to think.
Those who can reach the top level today are not simple people.
Therefore, when I first heard that sentence, many thoughts came to my mind.
Meng Jue continued, "Wang Lin once told me that the Emperor of Wei was a wise ruler, carrying out internal reforms and acting with a firm hand abroad. The Wei Dynasty was already strong, a peak of prosperity among all previous dynasties, a golden age. But this Emperor of Wei was able to go even further, eliminating abuses, suppressing the aristocracy, and working for the benefit of the people, bringing true peace and prosperity to the country. Such an emperor is truly rare."
"Under his rule, the Great Wei will surely advance further and become a truly powerful dynasty. If the Baiyue remain isolated, the gap between the two sides will only widen. One day, even the Baiyue, with its geographical advantage, will be wiped out."
