If he had not conveyed the message himself, this incident would not have happened. Wang Lin regretted it very much.
But he didn't understand in his heart, wasn't it agreed to purge the court?
In the end, why did nothing happen?
"Barbarian Lord."
At this time, Lu An, dressed in armor, walked over, paused, and said, "This general respects you as a hero and is unwilling to take your life. If... you are willing to give up resistance, this general will never take the life of any of your men."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and saw that in the back, almost all the Baiyue people who followed the barbarian leader into Zhennan Pass were captured.
Of the 30,000 people, excluding the dead and the injured, there are only more than 10,000 left, and they have no ability to resist at all.
But these are more than 10,000 lives.
The Barbarian Lord watched all this, his eyes moving slightly.
He wasn't afraid of death, but these people under him had followed him in unifying the Baiyue people and had experienced life and death. If they all died because of him...
Involuntarily, the Barbarian Lord straightened up and said, "I know General Lu's character. I believe you can protect the lives of my men. But you should know that the current Zhennan Pass is not under the control of General Lu."
The implication is very simple, that is, there is another emperor of Wei within Zhennan Pass.
Lu An can temporarily guarantee the safety of the Baiyue people, but what about next?
What if the Emperor of Wei showed his wrath?
Who can stop it?
Not to mention Lu An alone, even if there were a hundred of them, they couldn't disobey the Emperor of Wei, right?
So, this is what the Barbarian Lord cares about.
However, when Lu An heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then he said, "I know what you are worried about, but there is one thing I can say. His Majesty the Emperor of Wei is a generous and benevolent monarch. He will not embarrass these people under your command."
"Besides, you don't have any other choice, do you?"
Although he had always been away from the capital, he had heard about Li Fang's annexation of land and the Jiangnan gentry's joint efforts to go to the capital.
His Majesty did not order the killing, but dealt with it with leniency.
It can be seen from this aspect.
Your Majesty, you are a benevolent and wise ruler.
That's why Lu An said that he would guarantee the safety of the Baiyue people.
Upon hearing this, the Barbarian Lord did not say anything. He did not know the Emperor of Wei.
He only knew that this man was a wise ruler, the master of the Central Plains who wanted to do great things. So when he got the news that the other party had entered Zhennan Pass and started to have fun, he thought that these were just superficial phenomena, perhaps to lure the snake out of its hole so that he could take the initiative to attack.
That is why, some time ago, the Barbarian Lord did almost nothing and kept his army in hiding.
Because he knew very well that it was impossible for Baiyue to defeat Wei head-on.
You can only look for the opportunity.
at last.
After the Barbarian Lord took over Zhennan Pass and some people wanted to purge the court, he thought this was an opportunity.
Because he was also familiar with various historical books, he knew that the Central Plains dynasties loved to fight for power and profit, and he could take advantage of this aspect, but who knew that now...
However, there is no point in thinking about these things now.
And what the other party said is correct.
I no longer have a choice.
After a pause, the Barbarian Lord said, "I hope it's as you say."
After saying this, he put down the knife in his hand and ordered the people around him to give up resistance.
There's no way around it. This decision concerns the life and death of many people. If it were just me, it would be fine, but now, I have to consider others.
The Barbarian Lord might not know the Emperor of Wei, but he still believed in Lu An's character. Since the other party had also given a guarantee, there shouldn't be any problems.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is no choice.
"Barbarian Lord!"
But when the people present heard this, they were all horrified and expressed their willingness to die in battle.
Even the captured Baiyue people began to speak in panic. Although they had failed and accepted death, they could not surrender.
But Wang Lin remained silent at this moment, because he knew very well that the Barbarian Lord’s current thought was that he did not want his men to die in vain.
Thinking of this, he felt very sad and felt that all this was caused by him.
If I hadn't misjudged the situation, I wouldn't have come to this.
At the same time, under the strong command of the Barbarian Lord, all the Baiyue people put down their weapons and chose to surrender.
"Very good." Seeing this, Lu An nodded and kept his promise, not to embarrass the captured Baiyue people. In fact, he also knew that his actions were somewhat unfair.
But war is war. If you don't do this, your own men will also suffer casualties.
But this is not what Lu An wants to see.
soon.
Under his orders, all the people, including the Barbarian Lord, were arrested.
However, when he saw Wang Lin, his most trusted military advisor in the past, Lu An couldn't help but feel disappointed and lost in his eyes, but other than that, there was nothing else.
"General Lu, is everything over?" At this time, Lin Chong rode over, followed by Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong.
"My Lords, Commander Lin." Lu An bowed slightly and said immediately, "Yes, everything is over."
"Everyone, we have achieved unprecedented results in this battle. Not only have we defeated the attacking Baiyue army in one fell swoop, but we have also captured the barbarian leader of Baiyue!"
Captured all the barbarian leaders?
When the three heard this, they were all shocked.
