That is indeed too dangerous.
However, Meng Xinian's refusal was not due to the danger, but because this matter shouldn't have fallen to them to take the lead.
If something really went wrong, it wouldn't be just their responsibility; it would also involve the country.
So he resolutely refused, and the others, Wei Yixi and the others, were united in their opinions and stood by his side, joining his camp.
No one deployed.
This is what provoked the other party's anger.
Additionally, with some instigation in the middle, the opposing general spoke rashly in a fit of anger.
Later, he also apologized to our side, admitting that he had not thought things through and was wrong.
Thus, the issue was resolved satisfactorily.
Two days later, I heard Commander Cui say that Meng Xinian led a team to help them destroy a secret rebel camp, saving a small unit of Ke Ku Li from being surrounded, effectively rescuing that unit.
