Please, let me be a fool

Meng Jue was very desperate, because there was really no other way.

At the beginning, he was almost invincible in the whole process of unifying Baiyue.

There is almost nothing that can stump him. Every time he wins a battle, he finally becomes the master of Baiyue.

Even in the back, when facing Wei and Lu An, the general of Zhennanguan, he can do it with ease, allowing the opponent to follow his own rhythm most of the time.

It was precisely because of this that Meng Jue had the mentality that the famous generals of the Great Wei were nothing more than this mentality.

That's why when Wang Lin sent out the news, he would not hesitate to lead his men to make a surprise attack.

Because in his heart, Wei is not an invincible opponent, and he will be able to succeed in no time.

But the final result was so unsatisfactory, until now, he has been in the shadows.

After all, such a failure was Meng Jue's first experience in his life.

And since Emperor Wei came to Zhennan Pass.

This kind of failure has always followed.

Until now, he felt powerless to deal with it.

The Great Wei Emperor was so powerful, he seemed to be able to predict everything.

That's right, in Meng Jue's eyes, all of this was brought about by the Great Wei Emperor, and even the purpose of trying to lure the snake out of the hole this time has been known by the other party.

Otherwise, why didn't the defenders of Zhennan Pass respond to their continuous attacks for several days?
It must be because of the order of the Great Wei Emperor, he knew that Baiyue would not be able to hold on any longer.

Deliberately spend it like this until the greatest victory is achieved at the least cost.

Otherwise, everything cannot be explained.

"Emperor Wei, really powerful."

At this moment, Meng Jue couldn't help sighing, but he knew the plan and purpose of the other party, but he couldn't deal with it.

This sense of powerlessness was something he had never experienced before, and he really didn't know what to do.

But I also understand that if we continue to consume like this, there will be big problems.

"You can't go forward, you can't go back."

"Perhaps, I can take the third way, and that is to surrender."

Suddenly, Meng Jue had such an idea in his mind, because this was the only way.There are already problems in the rear, and it is difficult to collect food from various ministries. Even if it is possible to collect food, but with such a complicated terrain in Baiyue, how can we ensure the integrity of the route?

If something goes wrong on the way, not only the army that will go out, but even the tribes in the mountains will be implicated.

But without supplies, there is only one result waiting for them, and that is death.

And if they surrender, there will be a glimmer of life instead.

What Meng Jue thought was that the big deal would be to admit defeat this time, and then, like the grassland tribes, sign a covenant with the other party, promising not to invade the territory of the Great Wei for a few years, or even pay tribute for a few more years.

In this way, not only can the safety of the army be guaranteed, but also the major tribes will no longer have to worry about food.

However, he is still a little entangled in this, because in this case, he will encounter many obstacles in the future when he wants to establish Baiyue into a country.

At least the test of the Great Wei will not be passed. How can a unified Central Plains dynasty allow a country around it?

Even if he could have it, it must be someone with similar strength to his own, such as Tiandu.

Or just choose to surrender directly and serve the Great Wei as the master, such as Gao Yang who was not destroyed at the beginning.

The existence form that Wei can allow Baiyue is a force composed of hundreds of chaotic tribes, because it can't make a climate.

At the beginning, the reason why Meng Jue challenged Wei was to tell the generations of Baiyue people that Wei was not invincible, and then with this power, he formally united hundreds of tribes into one, and moved towards A country develops.

Now it seems that I am still too naive. If it is placed at other times, this plan may still be completed.

But meeting such a great emperor of Wei was not only difficult, but also dangerous.

It can be said that Meng Jue has no other choice.

But, he still can't make up his mind.

Because it's not really a last resort, so I finally decided to take another look.

However, compared to Baiyue's gloomy situation, in Zhennan Pass, Lu An, Song Gongwen and others reunited again, which can be said to be very happy.

Because from Meng Jue's initiative to attack the city, they can see that Baiyue's side is forced to rush, otherwise they would not choose to jump over the wall, especially in recent days, Baiyue's side's attacks have become more frequent and urgent .

Lu An was even more able to conclude that there must be something wrong with the enemy army, and the news from Dongchang finally proved this point.

That's because Baiyue's rear is not good enough. Whether it has opened up a food and grass route, it is almost impossible to persist.

As long as the defenders of Zhennan Pass continue to wear down, the opponent will definitely retreat.

At that time, Lu An will be able to choose to lead the army to go out, and the result will definitely be great, and it is even possible to capture Meng Jue alive again, so he is naturally very happy.

"If you look at it this way, I'm afraid Meng Jue will be on the verge of death in a few days, and he won't be able to retreat."

At this time, Lin Yuansong drank a cup of tea and immediately said: "At that time, we will report back to His Majesty, and His Majesty will definitely let General Lu lead the army to go out, and then win the battle and once again show our great Wei Guowei."

"It's still His Majesty's foresight. This plan is obviously much better than a direct battle between the two sides."

Song Gongwen also sighed, with a smile on his face.

At this moment, in their eyes, all of this is under His Majesty's planning.

As long as Meng Jue shows the slightest sign of retreating, he can take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack.

"That's right." Lu An nodded, and said: "Actually, when it comes to military affairs, His Majesty is also extremely wise. It can be said that he is both civil and military. I think it is precisely because of this that everyone was not optimistic about the champion. When the time comes, make a decision to let the champion Hou go to Gaoyang."

"Because His Majesty knows very well that the Champion Hou, like himself, has a peerless talent as a military adviser, and he cherishes each other."

In Lu An's view, His Majesty is not only outstanding in internal affairs, but also in military affairs.

Even the champion Hou Song Hongzhi can compare with it.

just.

When Song Gongwen heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "How can Hong Zhi compare with His Majesty? General Lu, that is wrong."

In the eyes of outsiders, Song Hongzhi is an unborn genius, the No. 1 general of the future Wei Dynasty, and he can leave his name in the history.

But as a father, he knew that without His Majesty being such a hero, he would have no chance to show himself.

Maxima is powerful, but it also needs Bole.

"All right."

"Next, it depends on what Meng Jue does."

Song Gongwen opened his mouth and did not continue with the previous topic. The most important thing now is how to defeat Baiyue at the least cost.

"Well, but if this is the case, do you want to report it to His Majesty, so that His Majesty can know the current situation of Baiyue." At this time, Lu An thought for a while, and thought that the current situation should be reported to His Majesty.

However, after Lin Yuansong heard the words, he shook his head directly, and said: "The situation is not yet determined. When Meng Jue retreats, it will not be too late to report back to His Majesty. Anyway, it will not waste much time."

Lu An nodded and agreed with this, because in his opinion, His Majesty must have anticipated the current situation.

As for whether to reply or not, it doesn't matter, as long as Meng Jue is dealt a fatal blow at the critical moment.

So I gave up this idea, thinking that I just need to pay full attention to the situation.

Anyway, you can report back to His Majesty later.

Immediately, the three of them didn't say anything more, but talked about other things.After this incident, Song Gongwen was also thinking about the food and grass issue on his own side. The household department did run out of money, but it was not a big deal.

As long as you think of a way, it can still be solved. After all, you can't let the defenders of Zhennan Pass fall into the situation like Baiyue, right?

Lin Yuansong also pays attention to all kinds of luggage problems all the time, and understands that this aspect cannot be sloppy.

Before I was in the capital, I couldn't control so much.

Be there now.

Naturally, there will be no problems in the investigation, and it can be found in time.

The three of them represented the Great Wei's Southern Expedition Army. All of them were from different directions. Together, they could naturally handle all kinds of incidents without going through numerous reviews.

And they all know that this battle is very important to Wei, after all, it is His Majesty's personal conquest.

Therefore, failure is not allowed in any case.

And with the efforts of the three.

Zhennanguan's defensive strength will only become more stable, and Baiyue's side will have no chance.

In this way, Meng Jue did not give up and wanted to make changes after going through several battles during the period.

In the end, he was still disappointed, and the situation became more and more passive.

Because the enemies we need to face now are different from the past
this day.

Meng Jue once again summoned the high-level figures of the Baiyue side, and then directly made a decision, that is, to ask for peace with Wei.

It is said to make peace, but in fact it is almost the same as surrender, because they have no advantage or advantage, so how can there be any conditions for peace?

After hearing this decision, everyone in Baiyue instinctively disagreed, thinking that it was too aggrieved. Over the years, Baiyue has had a disadvantage in the war between the Central Plains dynasties, but it has never been like it is now. .

It should be noted that now hundreds of tribes are united, but the final result is like this.

Meng Jue naturally expected everyone's reaction, he had no choice but to reveal the reality.

The current situation is that the Baiyue side is in a dilemma, with insufficient food and grass, and several consecutive active attacks have all ended in failure, and it is difficult to raise morale.

Even if Wei's side took up the challenge and sent troops to attack, the chances of them winning could be said to be very small.

In addition, there is still another winter to go through, and if this continues, there will be no bargain.

Perhaps Baiyue will also suffer a major blow because of this, and will be devastated.

So this is the best way Meng Jue can think of.

As for the others, after hearing this, they didn't speak one by one.Why don't they know the current situation?Fighting and being unable to win, and being unable to survive, this feeling is very uncomfortable, and it doesn't feel like fighting again at all.

In addition, the current army under him has also begun to lack clothing and food, and if it continues, it will only cause people to lose their minds.

But it is really unwilling to let them choose to surrender like this.

"Ugh."

In the end, Wang Lin also spoke: "The barbarian's opinion is indeed the best result for us. If we can avoid this war, we can survive this winter. The current situation is that Emperor Wei He just wanted to stay with us, and must have known the predicament we were facing."

"Everyone, the barbarians did this for Baiyue. We can survive, but what about our companions and family members?"

"A momentary investment does not mean that I, Baiyue, have completely succumbed."

What he meant was simple.

The most important thing now is to survive the current situation, at least to ensure the lives of hundreds of tribal civilians behind him, maybe there will be opportunities in the future.

And the high-level officials of Baiyue who were present, after consideration, finally agreed.

Of course, some of them thought that they didn't know how Wei's side would humiliate Baiyue in this surrender.

The two sides are not considered feuds, but there are often frictions. Now the situation is not as good as others, and it is normal to surrender and be bullied and insulted.

But just like what Wang Lin said, as long as the hundreds of tribes behind him can survive this winter safely, all of this seems to be fine.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, tomorrow I will lead the army and make peace with Wei." At this moment, Meng Jue stood up, very depressed and disappointed, thinking that this was the biggest failure he had ever experienced.

Emperor Wei is indeed too powerful.

He can't beat it.

Below, Wang Lin and Baiyue's high-level officials also nodded, without saying anything.

Everyone knows that tomorrow is going to be tough, but no matter how hard it is, you have to get through it.

Soon, the next morning.

Lu An inspected the defenses on the city wall as usual.

But soon it was discovered that under the city, Meng Jue, the lord of Baiyue, approached Zhennan Pass step by step with his army.

Just as he was about to mobilize his men to defend, he discovered that a white flag was suddenly raised among the hundreds of troops below.

At the same time, Meng Jue stood in front of everyone, and said loudly: "Meng Jue of Baiyue, join hands with the entire army, and make peace with His Majesty the Emperor of Wei. I implore the Emperor of Wei to accept it!"

Make peace?

Isn't that surrender?

This time, Lu An was completely shocked.

Before he had time to think about it, he rushed to the palace and reported the matter to His Majesty.

Of course, I did not forget to inform Song Gongwen Lin Yuansong, and all the high-level guards at Zhennanguan.

at the same time.

Wei Yunyi just woke up and finished his breakfast.

I heard Wang Jin say that Zhennan General Lu An, Lao Zhangren, Minister of the Ministry of War and others have something to see.

He had been leisurely for two days, but he didn't enjoy enough, but someone came again. He wanted to refuse, but at the end of his mind, he decided to meet and see. Maybe the urgent matter they talked about was related to the Southern Expedition?

What makes the three of them anxious together is probably not bad news, right?
So I met these three people in the front hall.

only.

Before Wei Yunyi could speak.

Lu An just knelt down, his face was excited, and at the same time he said very solemnly: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, this Southern Expedition has won a complete victory, and the savage Lord Meng Jue has brought the whole army to our Nanguan Pass, and wants to challenge His Majesty Please come down!"
