The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 877: Suppressing Two Countries [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

Gongsun Nu did far more than what Meng Tian and the others saw.

When Hong went to the border of Wei, Gongsun Nu entertained the governors of all the counties of Qin stationed in the old Zhao territory, as well as the officers and generals of the border of Yan State, as well as Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi.

"The Bingzhou army is marching east. Please give me some face and be quiet. This is the world of the young. We old bones should not get involved!"

Gongsun laughed angrily and raised the cup.

"There's Yanmen Pass and Dai County between us. Even if Great Qin wants to get through, the old general won't let us!"

The governors and lieutenants of all the counties in Qin State also raised their glasses and joked with a smile.

They wanted to get a piece of the pie, but they knew very well that they could not get involved in this war.

"However, my Qin State is very interested in the cattle, sheep, and horses of the Donghu. I'm afraid Bingzhou can't eat so many. If you don't mind, my Qin State can help share some of the burden!"

The county governors of Qin continued speaking.

The war between Bingzhou and Donghu will inevitably produce a large amount of spoils. With Bingzhou's current population and size, it is definitely not enough to consume it all. Therefore, as the governors of the northeastern counties of Qin State closest to the Donghu battlefield, they naturally want to buy it at the lowest price.

"Okay, okay!" Gongsun responded with an angry smile, but did not make any promises.

The Prime Minister's Office will discuss these matters, and he is not a professional.

The county lieutenants of Qin also knew that Gongsun Nu would not make any promises to them, and they would eventually have to talk to the Foreign Prime Minister's Office of Bingzhou. However, with Gongsun Nu's words, the Foreign Prime Minister's Office would not hold them back too much.

On the contrary, the State of Yan felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, Qin State did not border Donghu, as they were separated by Yanmen Pass and the Bingzhou army, but the northern part of Yan State bordered Donghu along the entire line.

Of course, they had heard about Bingzhou's large-scale deployment, and had even unanimously agreed at the court meeting to take advantage of the opportunity to get a piece of the pie.

As a result, Gongsun Nu invited them to a banquet and did not allow them to send troops to get a share of the pie. This made them very uncomfortable, and how could they explain to the King of Yan?

The county governors and county lieutenants of Qin also looked at the generals of Yan with meaningful smiles.

It must be so uncomfortable not being able to eat the fat meat right before your mouth.

They even hoped that Yan and Bingzhou would fight. As long as Yan and Bingzhou fought, they would directly become the front line between Qin, Yan and Bing, which would be countless military merits.

Yan Chunjun and Fan Yuqi looked at the smiling Gongsun Nu and frowned.

They did want to take advantage of the opportunity to intervene, but from the intelligence they received, the army at Yanmen Pass was frequently mobilized, and several cavalry units were dispatched to cross the border between Yan State and Donghu and stationed under the city of Yan State.

At the same time, Hongshangsai also announced a blockade, and then the main force of Yanmen Pass also gathered in Dai County, with extremely obvious intentions.

As long as the State of Yan dared to send troops, it would inevitably have to fight with the Yanmen Pass cavalry lying on the border between the State of Yan and the Donghu. Once the fighting started, the main force of the army assembled in Dai County would inevitably use this as an excuse to directly attack the State of Yan.

If it were anyone else, they were sure that the commander of Yanmen Pass would never dare to go to war with the State of Yan before obtaining the consent of the Beiye Royal City, but this was Gongsun Nu.

The earliest veteran who followed Yan Yan was even older than Li Ren and Luo Bing.

Who made Gongsun Nu already the Wei Wei Weiwei before following Yan Yan!
Therefore, if Gongsun Nu said to fight, the entire Bingzhou would give Gongsun Nu face, and no one would oppose or hold him accountable.

"The old general really gives young people a chance. People who don't know would think Meng Tian is your biological son and son-in-law!" Yan Chunjun smiled and raised the wine glass and joked.

"I did have this idea, but unfortunately I only had four or five children, and they were all sons!" Gongsun Nu said proudly.

“……”Everyone present was silent.

It must be said that Gongsun Nu’s most shocking achievement was that he gave birth to five children in a row, and they were all boys.

This makes everyone envious.

Not to mention the people present, even Yan Yan was envious.

"If Bingzhou needs it, my Yan State is willing to help!" Fan Yuqi also spoke up. From the moment Yan Chunjun spoke up, he knew that Yan State did not dare to create friction with Bingzhou on the border.

What's more, Gongsun Nu gathered the army from Yanmen Pass in Dai County, which was a threat to them.

As long as they dare to move, Gongsun Nu will never sit idly by.

Gongsun Nu was not afraid of accountability from the Beiye Royal City, but they were worried about accountability from Ji City.

This is also why Gongsun Nu is the commander of Yanmen Pass and not anyone else.

The earliest generals in Bingzhou had absolute power.

Li Ren was stationed in Qi State and had absolute control over the army stationed in Qi State.

Luo Bing was stationed in Juyan Lake, controlling the entire army in the eastern part of Bingzhou, intimidating the Dayuezhi and the entire Western Regions.

Dian Qing was stationed in the central government and controlled the most elite Yulin Guards in Bingzhou.

The least visible Gongsun Nu was stationed at Yanmen Pass, confronting Qin and Yan.

But everyone knows that the one who is under the greatest pressure is actually Gongsun Nu.

The junction of three kingdoms requires the most stable veteran to take charge.

Ever since Gongsun Nu took charge of Yanmen Pass, although there have been frictions at the borders of the three kingdoms, they have all been coordinated very well by Gongsun Nu. This shows Gongsun Nu's ability.

The county governors and lieutenants of Qin also knew that even if Wang Jian came in person, he would not have the freedom to declare war like Gongsun Nu did.

However, Qin State was on good terms with Bingzhou, and they had no intention of creating friction or starting a war with Bingzhou. They were also happy to see Yan State suffer a defeat.

Of course, if they could add fuel to the fire and cause Bingzhou and Yan State to fight, they would be happy to add fuel to the fire.

Unfortunately, Yan Chunjun has already made it clear that Yan State will not participate in the war, and it would be too obvious if they added fuel to the fire.

"Thank you for your kindness, General Fan. If General Meng Tian can't even take down the declining Donghu, I will also petition Your Majesty to send him back to where he came from!"

Gongsun said with an angry smile.

Fan Yuqi said nothing more.

Although Yan State also had a lot of spies on Donghu, Bingzhou's control over Donghu intelligence was just as good as Yan State's.

Even several years ago, Bingzhou had already planted countless spies in Donghu, penetrating into every level of Donghu.

Especially looking at the screen behind the hall where Gongsun Nu hosted them, it recorded the entire Donghu mountain and river topography in detail. This was a more detailed map than the one controlled by the Yan State.

This is a show-off, but also a threat.

Bingzhou has such detailed maps of Donghu, so what about Yan State?

Therefore, if the State of Yan dared to rashly join the war, Gongsun Nu would certainly suffer the consequences.

"Once upon a time, Bingzhou had become so powerful that a single general's mansion was enough to force the Yan State to not dare to intervene!"

After leaving the banquet, Yan Chunjun sighed.

It is difficult to define the standard for measuring a country's national strength.

But now Bingzhou has shown their courage.

The general's mansion of a town alone is enough to suppress the two major princes and prevent them from sending troops easily.

Although the Qin State had made many considerations and was not actually afraid of the General's Mansion at Yanmen Pass, it did not dare to take the opportunity to provoke, right?
