Chapter 876 The Mainstay [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

"We have fought the hardest battle. Now it is the young people's world!"

In Yanmen Pass, Gongsun Nu looked at the document from Danlin requesting troop deployment and smiled slightly.

Although Meng Tian and Han Xin were not very sensitive to politics, they were not arrogant either.

Even though Meng Tian was the main general in this war of annihilation, and he had obtained the power to mobilize troops granted by Yan Yan and the National Guard Office, he did not dare to give orders directly to Yanmen Pass, but instead requested cooperation.

After all, Gongsun Nu was also one of the Nine Ministers of Bingzhou, one of the decision-makers of the National Guard Office, and one of the top generals in Bingzhou.

If you want to transfer troops from Gongsun Nu, it is better to request negotiation instead of directly taking advantage of the power of others and directly asking Gongsun Nu to send troops for support by using Bingzhou's transfer order.

Otherwise, Gongsun Nu, as the Langzhongling of Bingzhou, had plenty of ways to delay the dispatch of troops and miss the opportunity to fight.

Even if Gongsun Nu would not do so, the generals under his command would still hinder the Central Army Headquarters on various matters.

After the war, Meng Tian would completely offend Gongsun Nu.

Therefore, Meng Tian requested in a private capacity to send troops to help defend Yanmen Pass to prevent the Donghu from escaping from the south.

“Just know how to respect the elderly!”

Gongsun Nu's deputy generals and retainers also smiled and nodded.

If Meng Tian really gave the order directly as the commander of the Eastern Army, Yanmen Pass would cooperate, but Meng Tian would also have a grudge against Gongsun Nu.

Sometimes, many young people are just arrogant and do not know the importance of doing things, and they don’t even know when they offend others.

Perhaps Gongsun Nu is not as meritorious as generals such as Li Ren and Luo Bing, nor is he as close to Yan Yan as Dian Qing, so he is somewhat invisible among the generals of Bingzhou.

But in Bingzhou, even Li Ren, Luo Bing and Dian Qing did not dare to shout in front of Gongsun Nu.

Li Ren, Luo Bing, Dian Qing and Yan Yan were able to fight wars in the grasslands without caring about their families or the rear, all because someone made a sacrifice in the process, and that sacrifice was Gongsun Nu.

There were bloody battles all over Bingzhou, and Gongsun Nu stayed behind to take charge.

When Bingzhou was developing steadily, Gongsun Nu was guarding Yanmen Pass and facing the Qin army.

Gongsun Nu is like a pillar of Bingzhou. He appears wherever he is needed, without any regrets.

If Meng Tian issued the transfer order without prior notice, he would not only offend Gongsun Nu's group, but would also leave the entire Bingzhou with a reputation of disrespecting the elders.

"Meng Tian is quite interesting. He actually left us a large Donghu army!"

The deputy general smiled and pointed at the strategic tactics plan sent by the National Guard Office. Combined with the tactics and troop movements sent by Meng Tian, ​​it was easy to analyze the battlefield situation.

Meng Tian did not take all the credit for destroying the Donghu. Instead, he deliberately forced a main force of the Donghu toward the direction of Yanmen Pass, which was equivalent to deliberately sending a share of the military credit to Yanmen Pass.

"Your Majesty snatched him from Qin State, so he must have some outstanding qualities. At least when it comes to employing people, Your Majesty has not made any big mistakes!"

Gongsun said with an angry smile.

"However, we have already fought the most difficult battles. Do we still care about this little bit of military merit?"

"Send a message to Danlin, tell Meng Tian that I will send troops to cooperate, but forget about giving up the credit. We are here to support him and pave the way for him!"

The officers and soldiers at Yanmen Pass also smiled. They had been through many battles and had many military achievements. What they wanted to see was Bingzhou becoming stronger and stronger, and they were willing to pave the way for young people who knew how to respect them.

"However, Meng Tian and Han Xin are still young!"

Gongsun Nu looked at the map and pointed to the Tu He area with a smile.

"Tell this general to send out 20,000 troops and station them under the city of Tuhe. Forbid the State of Yan to join the war!" Gongsun Nu gave the order.

Bingzhou is going to war with such great fanfare, will Yan State miss this opportunity to gain an advantage?
Therefore, Gongsun Nu withdrew part of his army and stationed it directly between Yan State and Donghu, not allowing Yan State to take advantage of the opportunity, and also giving the credit for destroying Donghu to Meng Tian and Han Xin.

As for whether it will cause diplomatic conflicts between Bingzhou and Yan State.

If Meng Tian went to Yan State, it was really possible that he would not give this face, but as Gongsun Nu was a veteran of Bingzhou, Yan State would not dare to ignore him.

What's more, Gongsun Nu was the general of Yanmen Pass. If Yan State really dared to create friction and conflicts with Bingzhou on the border, Gongsun Nu really dared to mobilize the entire garrison within Yanmen Pass to attack the border of Yan State.

Gongsun Nu had this right, but although Meng Tian was the commander of the Eastern Army, he did not have this right.

Therefore, only Gongsun Nu can do this, and Meng Tian cannot do it.

In Danlin City, Meng Tian and Han Xin also received the news sent back from Yanmen Pass.

"General Gongsun is so kind and righteous!" Han Xin sighed.

If it were any other princes or officers, they would probably all come to take credit.

As a result, Gongsun Nu not only did not take credit for it, but also helped them solve their worries and gave them all the credit for destroying the Donghu.

"Your Majesty said that General Gongsun is the pillar of Bingzhou. I didn't believe it at first and didn't meet him much, but this time, I admire him!"

Meng Tian also sighed.

Gongsun Nu was rarely in the royal city, or most of the time he was away from them.

When they were fighting in the east and the west, Gongsun Nu was in charge of the royal city; when they returned to the royal city, Gongsun Nu was transferred to guard the most dangerous border where friction was most likely to occur.

As a result, many rising generals in Bingzhou had never seen or known Gongsun Nu.

In addition, Gongsun Nu was more of a local official, preventing unrest in the rear and on the border, so he did not have many outstanding military achievements. This led more up-and-coming people to believe that Gongsun Nu was only able to occupy the position of Nine Ministers because he was one of the earliest loyal ministers and had seniority, and they still looked down on Gongsun Nu to some extent.

It was not until they saw Gongsun Nu take action this time that Meng Tian and others truly understood what a backbone meant!

"Show more respect to the old general from now on!"

Meng Tian looked at the officers under his command.

Before this expedition, everyone believed that Meng Tian would be able to officially step into the position of Nine Ministers after a great victory, and the most likely position to succeed Gongsun Nu was the Langzhongling.

Meng Tian also had such thoughts in his subconscious mind, but now, Meng Tian would not think so.

The position of any of the nine ministers in Bingzhou may change, but Gongsun Nu's status will never change.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded.

He even expected that the generals of other garrisons would be so ignorant of their own limitations as to challenge Gongsun Nu's position and end up with bloody heads.

After all, there are only so many garrisons and only a few commanders. If something happens to a few of them, the positions will be vacant, and they will have the opportunity to fill them.

Sometimes, if you just work hard, someone will take the initiative to send you something.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Army are now expecting the young men from the Western Army and Wangji to provoke Gongsun Nu and ruin their own future.

As for the reminder, who would be willing to give up their future?
Where there are people, there is the world and there is competition.
