"Your Majesty personally led the campaign, bringing with him two hundred thousand men. In less than two months, with only a few hundred casualties combined, he managed to bring the Baiyue people to their knees. This is truly an unprecedented feat."
At this time, Lu An praised Wei Yunyi's strength in this battle. The more he thought about it, the more he admired him.
Because if it were me, I simply couldn't do it, and I'm afraid no one in the entire Wei Dynasty could do it.
Only Your Majesty.
"That's natural."
Song Gongwen smiled, then said: "Everyone in the court says that my son Hongzhi is a rare general, but compared to Your Majesty, he is still far behind. Hongzhi plans to capture a city or a place, and as long as he can win, he does not care about the consequences. In other words, it is the way of war.
But Your Majesty is different. You see the bigger picture, seeing things that none of us can see. In short, the Way of Kings and the Way of the Military go hand in hand, and the two are incomparable."
At this point, he also began to sigh, yes, fighting a war cannot just focus on one city or one place, this is the same as how to govern a country.
Because of this experience, Song Gongwen seemed to have a deeper understanding of the methods and ideas of governing the country.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of it in his heart.
Perhaps the reason why His Majesty personally led the army to fight and brought me along was to teach me this truth?
If that's the case, then your Majesty's thoughts and ideas are simply unmatched...
"We all understand what Lord Song said, and we know what to do next." Lu An thought for a moment, then said, "However, the southern expedition is over. I wonder when His Majesty will return to the court?"
"Although the conditions in Zhennan Pass are not as good as those in the capital, it is also quite good in other aspects. The scenery in the city and the local customs and practices will surely be interesting to Your Majesty..."
After saying so much, Lu An's intention was to let His Majesty stay in Zhennan Pass for a while longer.
Although I know it's a bit unrealistic, I think it's good to stay for another day or two.
As a court official, who doesn't want to show off in front of the emperor?
This statement also made Song Gongwen and others smile knowingly, and they immediately said, "I understand what General Lu means, but the specifics still depend on His Majesty's decision. Okay, if you all have nothing else to do, please go back first."
"The Southern Expedition is now completely over. There are still many things that need to be handled by you all."
Although he is the person with the highest status and identity now, Song Gongwen does not put on airs.
On the contrary, he always behaves very approachable at all times.
That's why.
One of the reasons why fewer and fewer people reported him after he became the Second Assistant Minister.
He is loyal to the emperor and the country, and has done some practical work for the court. He is deeply trusted by His Majesty, so there is really nothing to report.
At this time, all the ministers present stood up and left one by one.
Lin Yuansong naturally would not leave. He and Song Gongwen still had things to deal with next.
The war is indeed over, but that doesn't mean they can rest.
Soon, several days passed by in a flash.
During these days.
The army that marched south was stabilized from top to bottom.
On the Baiyue side, under the auspices of Song Gongwen, normal trade and relations were established with the Wei Dynasty.
The news of this great victory was also transmitted to the capital through military reports. In short, everything was developing in a good direction.
There is no more crisis in the southern border.
As for Wei Yunyi.
He stayed in the palace, as before, but instead of asking Wang Jin to look for the singing and dancing girls, he focused on his training. The war was over, and there was no point in acting like a tyrant.
It would be better to do something practical. Martial arts training is the most urgent thing right now.
However, after reaching his level, it is very difficult to improve.
So after practicing for several days, there was not much change.
This day.
He practiced as usual.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report." Wang Jin's respectful voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this, Wei Yunyi opened his eyes and said without any nonsense, "Come in."
Wang Jin pushed the door open and entered, then knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I have received news from the Imperial Master that the old Heavenly Master has replied and will be heading to the capital in a few days. In the letter, the old Heavenly Master expressed his hope to see Your Majesty."
Is the old Taoist priest going to the capital?
When Wei Yunyi heard the news, his eyes immediately lit up.
After searching for so long, I finally got some results. Master, I have been looking forward to this for a long time.
Since the old Taoist priest has appeared.
Now, it's time to consider returning to the capital.
After a brief moment of thought, he stood up and looked at Wang Jin, saying, "Pass my order down. In three days, the army will return to the capital and all troops will return to their bases. At the same time, tell the emperor's father-in-law and Lin Yuansong to draw up a plan to reward the soldiers who went on this southern expedition."
Although the battle was not fought much, this kind of thing still needs to be done. We must not let the soldiers down.
The Wei Dynasty had its own reward and punishment system for its soldiers going on expeditions.
So just let the people below do it.
There was no need for him to worry about it.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Jin turned around immediately after hearing the order, obviously to give the order.
Wei Yunyi did not continue to practice, but leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. In fact, he had many doubts in his heart, but unfortunately, there were not many people who could answer them for him.
Finding the old Taoist priest and refining pills was secondary. What he really wanted was for the other party to answer his doubts.
