But his father-in-law and two other men suddenly asked for a meeting and told him the news of the Baiyue army's attack, which immediately surprised him.
Wei Yunyi wondered what was wrong with Meng Jue's brain. Wasn't the last lesson enough?
With only 60,000 people, they dare to charge towards Zhennan Pass where 200,000 troops are stationed?
At this moment, he was very skeptical.
No one knows how this person unified the Baiyue and what he was thinking.
Normally, to take the initiative to attack, one must rely on one's own strength to fight the opponent head-on when both sides are evenly matched. Then, in the process of the battle, one must find flaws and advantages for one's side to increase the chances of winning.
Now the defenders of Zhennan Pass, under their own constraints, did not leave the city or do anything else.
Could it be that the other party wants to rely on his 60,000 men to capture Zhennan Pass?
Wei Yunyi didn't know what to say at this moment.
"Your Majesty, we are facing a sudden attack. Please allow me to lead the army to meet the enemy. I guarantee that with only 30,000 men, we can stop the Baiyue enemies from entering our country. Your Majesty, please grant me your permission."
At this time, General Lu An of Zhennan spoke up, thinking that since His Majesty personally led the army to fight, he had no chance to show his abilities except for the last time.
After all, that battle was entirely planned by His Majesty, and I was just deploying troops. But now, I see the Baiyue attacking.
He knew that he had to stand up at this critical moment.
"Yes, Your Majesty, let General Lu go!"
At this time, Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong also spoke up. This was something they had agreed on beforehand.
Lu An is a steady person, and there will definitely be no problems if he leads the troops there.
Keep the land of Baiyue out of the country?
Above.
After hearing this, Wei Yunyi's face turned a little ugly.
Although I don’t know why Meng Jue chose to launch the attack at this time.
But one thing is that his goal is to make the Southern Expedition last as long as possible. The Baiyue people only have so much wealth, and they were severely damaged last time. If they come again, won't this war be over soon?
"No, I don't agree." Wei Yunyi immediately said, "The Baiyue are just a group of small tribes united together."
"There's absolutely no need for our Great Wei to take them seriously. Even if they lead their men to attack Zhennan Pass, what's the problem? Perhaps they did it on purpose?"
"So what we have to do is to keep our troops in place and allow the enemy to use all their tactics. We just need to hold Zhennan Pass."
"Then no matter what happens, it will not affect the overall situation."
Wei Yunyi’s meaning was very simple.
No need to send troops.
Just defend Zhennan Pass directly without paying attention to the other party's actions.
In this case, it would be difficult to fight the war, unless Baiyue chose to attack head-on, but that would undoubtedly be a bad strategy.
He just couldn't believe that Meng Jue would be so stupid as to want to fight at that critical moment.
"Don't fight?"
After hearing the decision made by Wei Yunyi, the three of them were all confused and didn't understand.
There are more than 200,000 troops defending Zhennan Pass, and taking out 30,000 of them is nothing.
Besides, the other party is about to attack you, so there is no reason not to fight back.
Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong were especially strange.
His Majesty is kind and benevolent at home, but very strong externally. Otherwise, he wouldn't have declared war on Gaoyang directly in the first place, and would have chosen to send troops to fight back. But his current reaction was completely beyond their expectations. What happened?
"Your Majesty, this time the enemy is sending troops, and it is the barbarian leader Meng Jue who is leading the troops himself. There must be a purpose." Lu An was also a little anxious and continued.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, we'd better respond. I don't need 30,000 men, only 10,000."
"Our goal isn't to crush the enemy, but at least we know what their goal is. Your Majesty, please grant us permission."
After saying this, he immediately knelt down with a sincere tone.
More than 200,000 soldiers have not done anything else since they ambushed in the city and captured Meng Jue alive. Apart from training every day, they are very idle.
As the saying goes, maintain an army for a thousand days and use it for a moment. Now we have maintained enough soldiers, but we don’t use them.
Lu An didn't understand.
"Didn't I already say that I won't send troops?"
Wei Yunyi still insisted, saying, "It's only 60,000 people. Even if Meng Jue is the reincarnation of a star general, can he really conquer Zhennan Pass in one fell swoop with just his men? It's impossible. Therefore, we must remain constant in the face of change."
"Alright, I have made up my mind. I will tell all my generals to focus on defense. All of you can go down."
After saying this, he ignored everyone's reactions and simply stopped. His meaning was already quite clear.
Lu An wanted to say something, but Song Gongwen shook his head, indicating that he should not say more.
Because he knew very well that it was the decision made by His Majesty.
That won't change.
"Yes, Your Majesty, we will take our leave."
Song Gongwen and others bowed slightly and then left the palace.
Wei Yunyi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was the emperor and his word was final.
Otherwise, facing this situation, I really don't know what to do. But he still doesn't understand why the barbarian leader Meng Jue chose to send troops? Wouldn't it be better to stay in the mountains of Baiyue?
I won't send troops to encircle and suppress...
shook his head.
Wei Yunyi didn't think about it anymore. As long as he ordered his men to guard Zhennan Pass and not go out, there would be no problem.
Now he only hopes that after the Barbarian Lord fails in his attack, he will realize the truth and choose to retreat. In this way, he can continue with the plan.
