After getting what he wanted, Sun Kejian left Zhenbei Pass and prepared to continue promoting mutual trade.
He thought that this matter was very important and he couldn't be careless at all.
After all, this concerns the court's tax revenue.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Time also passes by bit by bit.
The other side.
Ever since leaving the capital, Wei Yunyi has been heading towards Zhennan Pass.
At the same time, the armies mobilized by various prefectures in the southern border were also gathering together. In less than half a month, they had assembled nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses.
This is the strength of a unified dynasty. As long as the emperor gives an order, the people below must carry it out resolutely. In addition, Lin Yuansong from the Ministry of War is also very capable, so no accidents occurred.
However, it stands to reason that when an army goes to war, speed is of the essence, but Wei Yunyi doesn't think so.
His purpose was to consume as much of the national treasury's reserves and national strength as possible.
Therefore, this time he launched an expedition to the south to conquer the Baiyue.
Treat it as a rare opportunity, and stop whenever you come across some place with beautiful scenery.

Wouldn’t it be a wasted trip?
at last.
All the ministers and generals unanimously decided to advise His Majesty.
But most people don't dare to mention such things. If they are scolded, they will still talk about it, which might make His Majesty very angry.
Therefore, everyone recommended Song Gongwen. As Taifu Zhang Zhengming considered, Song Gongwen was the father-in-law of the emperor, the second-in-command of the government, and had successfully implemented the reform, making him an important official of the country.
It must be of great importance to His Majesty, so it would be best if he were the one to initiate it.
Song Gongwen felt obligated to do so and went there that night.
But what no one expected was.
The father-in-law of the emperor was also scolded, and His Majesty did not give him any face at all.
According to Song Gongwen's explanation, Your Majesty said that he has worked so hard for so long, can't he enjoy himself?
Anyway, the Baiyue are there and won’t run away.
What’s the difference between earlier and later?
The ministers and generals were helpless.
So they had no choice but to compromise, and the army that marched south slowly headed towards Zhennan Pass...
