Please, let me be a fool

Because of the battle of the Southern Expedition, it was not fought much.

The casualties of the soldiers were also very small, and the supplies and equipment were not used at all.

So there was no trouble at all in the process of cleaning up, and with the command of the two ministers Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong, it only took less than three days.

It should be noted that the movement of a 20-strong army is no small matter at any time, and personnel arrangements and other aspects are very complicated.

But now it can be completed in three days, this speed is undoubtedly very amazing.

At the same time, it also reflects the strict discipline of Wei's army.

It's definitely not possible to do it in other places.

During this period.

It happened that the savage Lord Meng Jue, more precisely the King of Baiyue, was discussing with Song Gongwen and other ministers about the trade between the two sides in the next few years.

And he happened to see this scene, and Dang even was shocked, because the efficiency was really too fast.

I can be regarded as a representative for many years, and the soldiers under him are also loyal.

Otherwise, he would not have agreed to the obedience he had made some time ago.

But when it comes to the speed of action, Meng Jue is very clear that the army under his command is completely inferior to Wei's, as well as the luggage transported, and the Wei's army's strict implementation of orders, there is no panic at all.

He understood that this was not the most elite army in the north, and the soldiers under the champion of the Wei Dynasty.

If there is a real fight between himself and Da Wei, Da Wei will mobilize troops from all sides.

Baiyue really couldn't bear it.

Fortunately, the final result is acceptable to both parties, and there will be no problem.

In fact, the reason why the troops returning to the imperial court were prepared so quickly was that Lu An wanted to take this opportunity to show himself in front of His Majesty, apart from the prohibition.

After all, he and his soldiers didn't do anything at all during the Southern Expedition, and they won in the end.

I feel that Your Majesty will think that the garrisons in the southern border are not very useful, so it is natural to show a good side in front of Your Majesty.

Of course, what's more, Lu An knew that Meng Jue would come to the city to discuss trade matters, so he wanted to make a final deterrent.

As expected, Meng Jue saw it, and the effect was achieved.

The time of the last day.

Wei Yunyi still didn't show up, waiting in the palace for everything to be ready.

Of course he knew that Meng Jue had entered the city, but he didn't seem to be meeting this person now. Regarding the various matters between the two parties, he could just leave it to the father-in-law. It's not a big deal anyway.

It's a good deal, and it won't reduce the containment luck or anything.

So I don't need to worry about that.

Meng Jue, on the other hand, was extremely nervous about this, because he felt that it would be best to discuss some matters with the Emperor of Wei.

But he didn't expect that the other party didn't see him at all, so he thought in his heart that the other party didn't trust Baiyue enough. Although it was a submission, it was the first time after all, and many things could not be determined immediately.

Of course, he also thought of one thing, that is, it would be good to talk to the courtiers of the Great Wei. In case there is any unpleasantness between the two parties, the emperor can come forward to resolve it.

However, what Meng Jue cared most about was that the trust of the Great Wei Emperor in Baiyue must not be a problem.

After all, if Baiyue wants to develop in the future, it must rely on the Central Plains.

all in all.

Although the time of three days is very short, a lot of things have been accomplished.Song Gongwen also knew that because the class teacher was going to return to the court, many things were kept simple, so don't get entangled in some details.

He knew that this was His Majesty's strategy. To subdue and conquer Baiyue, his side must show generosity.

There are also Luan's arrangements for the various armies. The Zhennan Pass originally had [-] to [-] defenders.

Most of the troops for the southern expedition were mobilized from other places in the southern border.

As the main general of this war, you must start with all aspects.

that's it.

Three days later, the army returning to the court finally set off.

Wei Yunyi also finally left the palace, boarded the dragon chariot, and embarked on the road back to Beijing.

In fact, he was not very happy. It was originally planned that the Southern Expedition would take at least three months, not counting the time on the road, but unexpectedly, it took less than two months for everything to fall into dust deal.

As expected, there was no conflict between Baiyue and Dawei, only an all-round victory.

Just kidding, Baiyue, which has never been conquered in the past dynasties, finally chose to surrender.

Even if Wei Yunyi didn't include it in the territory.

But actually it's pretty much the same.

God knows why the final result became like this.

Especially before leaving, Meng Jue actually wanted to see him off in person, if he hadn't flatly refused, he might have to see the other party again, so upset!

"Your Majesty." Not long after leaving Zhennan Pass, Wang Jincong walked into the dragon chariot, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, General Zhao, the Commander-in-Chief of Haizhou, sent a brochure saying that the navy's warship has been built. Well, there are not many, but there are dozens of ships, and the draft is also sufficient, and at the same time, the training of the navy is also going on."

"However, recently the remnants of the third prince of the former dynasty, Yuan Nie, seem to have united with the Great Wo, and seized many islands, forming horns with each other, which seems to threaten the safety of Haizhou, so I would like to ask His Majesty to make a decision. This is a joke."

Not in the capital, there is no imperial study room, Song Gongwen and Lin Yuansong are busy with many things every day.

Therefore, Wei Yunyi also allocated a part to Wang Jin for the submission of the notebook.

This is part of the duties of the supervisor of ceremonies, and it's nothing at all.

It's just that when he heard that Dawo and the third prince of Yuan had united to threaten Haizhou, he frowned.

The naval forces along the coast are considered to be a weak link among the various armies of the Great Wei Dynasty. He wanted his brother-in-law to ignore it, but he knew that this would definitely not work, and there would be problems.

There are a lot of people along the coast, and Haizhou is close to the core of the Jiangnan area, so if something happens, it will be a big deal.

Even if you want to curb the fate of the country, you can't start from this aspect.

Therefore, after a short thought, he directly said: "There is no need to report this matter to me, let Zhao Jiguang handle it by himself, he is now in command of the navy, and the safety of the people in the coastal areas is all tied to him, he knows what to do .”

According to my brother-in-law, he is also a famous general. He has been in the Navy for the past few months and must have accumulated some experience.

Besides, even if you can't fight at sea, you can always fight on the shore, right?
So I don't think there will be any problems in the coastal areas for the time being.

"It's Your Majesty."

Wang Jin next to him bowed immediately after hearing the words, then turned and left the dragon chariot.

Obviously, Wei Yunyi's order was passed on and Song Gongwen, a cabinet scholar, was allowed to handle it.

The army marching south, the squadron returned to Beijing, was heading north.In the process, the generals of the various ministries also brought their soldiers back to the station on the way.

This means that as time goes by, the number of the army will become smaller and smaller, and the speed of returning to the capital will become faster and faster.

At this moment, in the southwest of Great Wei, outside the Usi area.

In a snow mountain valley, there is a team of thousands of people moving forward in the snow.

Some rode on horses, some walked on foot, surrounded by carriages.

Without exception, these people were all wearing armor and fur.And on those carriages, not only the workmanship is fine, but even the embellished patterns are all gold-plated, which looks extremely luxurious.

Judging from their clothes, they are obviously Tiandu people, and now they are marching towards the border of the Great Wei Dynasty.

At this moment, on one of the luxurious carriages, the new monarch of Tiandu Kingdom, King Aqin III.

He was holding a large piece of meat and eating just this milk wine, looking extremely leisurely.

But he wasn't the only one in this carriage.

There is also a young man, but this young man does not look like a Tiandu person in terms of appearance or attire.And he was Chen Xuance, the Shaoqing affiliated to the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Wei Dynasty, who was sent as an envoy to Tiandu, and he was also the first number one scholar since the Tianqi Dynasty.

At this moment, Chen Xuance was holding a note in his hand, and his eyes became brighter as he continued to read it.

This scene stunned King Aqin III next to him, and he was very curious.

In his impression, this envoy from Tiandu is an extremely smart and calm person, who can face many things calmly and will not have too much emotional ups and downs.

When I fought the former King Ah Li back then, even when the situation was the most unfavorable, the other party was full of smiles.

It is precisely because of this that King Aqin III was more confident in defeating him.

Now, he showed such a look.

Involuntarily, he couldn't help but said: "Brother Xuan Ce, what makes you so happy?"

"Hui Tian Du Your Majesty is the latest news about my Great Wei's Southern Expedition. Great progress has been made. After seeing it, I am naturally happy for the court." Chen Xuance said immediately with a smile on his face.

"Oh? What's the progress? Can you tell me about it?" Tiandu is different from Wei. Although his subordinates also address him as His Majesty, the monarch's self-proclaimed name is not Zhen, but Wu.

At this moment, Ah Qin III was interested. He had already heard that the emperor of Wei Dynasty wanted to conquer the land of Baiyue himself.

Baiyue does not border Tiandu, and there is a distance between them, but he knows very well that Baiyue is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with many mountains and rivers, it is not a plain area, not to mention iron cavalry, even if a crossbowman enters , but also subject to great restrictions.

The strongest of the Great Wei are the cavalry and crossbowmen. Of course, the pawns are also quite powerful.

It's not that Tian Du didn't experience it back then.But Aqin III knew that Baiyue was a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh to the Central Plains. The previous Central Plains dynasties had not conquered it, and even suffered a lot.

The reason why he is interested is also very simple. From this aspect, we can clearly see how strong Wei's true strength is.

Moreover, it was the Great Wei Emperor who was driving the expedition personally, and he could also know the other party's talents and whether it was worth cooperating with.

You know, after I took office, the domestic situation seemed to be stable, but that was only on the surface.

There are also many forces secretly not obeying him.

However, at this time, it is impossible to send troops to suppress it. After all, it has just finished a big battle. If you come again, you are afraid that you will be overthrown next time. Therefore, it is very necessary to cooperate with Wei.

In this way, it is even more necessary to understand the strength of the opponent.

Of course Ah Qin III also knew that if the other party didn't answer, he wouldn't ask.

But it is obvious that Chen Xuance will not hide this, he smiled, and then said: "Naturally, His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor personally marched on the expedition, and when the success came, the Baiyue barbarian led his army to surrender, and wanted to enter our Great Wei , become a part of our Great Wei, and His Majesty the Great Wei Emperor readily agreed to canonize Meng Jue as King of Baiyue."

Having said that, the smile on his face became even bigger.Chen Xuance didn't know that the reason why Aqin III asked this question was to understand the strength of Wei.

Even if the opponent already knew that the battle on the grassland was also a victory for Wei, and understood the strength of Wei, it was only one time.

Now, His Majesty personally conquered Baiyue, surrendered the Lord of Baiyue, and conquered this place that no previous dynasties had conquered.

The shock to Aqin III is obviously more substantial.

really.

When Aqin III heard the words, he immediately spilled some of the milk wine in his hand.

He knew that Great Wei was very powerful, and it was certain that he would defeat Baiyue, but he never thought that Baiyue would be conquered.Isn't it said that it cannot be conquered in the legend?But now the Great Wei Emperor has actually done it.
All of a sudden, Ah Qin III felt that the Great Wei Emperor was an extremely terrifying opponent.

So at this moment, he was silent, didn't speak, just sat where he was.

Facing such an opponent, anyone would be afraid.

If it is ambitious, I am afraid that I will try my best to deal with it.

But it is obvious that Ah Qin III is not such a person. Under the oppression of the former King Ah Li, he was in panic all day long, just wanting to save his life. That is why he stayed away from the center of the Tiandu regime because he was afraid of death. Not too ambitious.

Now, facing the even more powerful Great Wei, there is also the extremely dreaded Great Wei Emperor.

He was even more worried and afraid in his heart. Thinking about this trip, he must try his best to submit a friendship covenant with Dawei.

At the same time, he thought in his heart that his ancestor had a very good relationship with Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Great Wei, so the Emperor of the Great Wei must have given him some face.

And Chen Xuance next to him had been watching Ah Qin III's expression. He knew him very well, knew that this person had no ambitions, was timid and fearful, especially when the enemy was stronger than him, he would lose the will to resist.

At the beginning, if he hadn't promised himself, Da Wei would have supported him to overthrow King Ah Li, and King Ah Qin III would not have resisted.

It was precisely because Chen Xuance saw this clearly that he wanted to help this person to the top.

Let me ask, what is more comfortable and reassuring than a hostile country with a weak and bully monarch?

In fact, he had some admiration for King Ah Li, who was indeed a bit cruel and ambitious, but to Tian Du, he was indeed a good monarch, but it was a pity that he had a different standpoint, and there was no way around it.

Without continuing to think about it, Chen Xuance looked at Ah Qin III next to him, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty Tiandu, you don't need to worry. My Majesty the Great Wei Emperor left the generous and benevolent, and the reason why he personally conquered Baiyue was only because of Baiyue's It was just a provocation, but now that Meng Jue chose to surrender, my Great Wei Emperor didn't bother with him, and even made him the king of Baiyue, opening up the trade between the two sides."

"As for you, you are a friend of my Great Wei. I believe His Majesty will be very happy to see you and have a lot to talk about."
