Chapter 169 If you win this battle, I will go south in person and ask for the credit for you!
General!
Meng Tian was in his prime, and he had the passion and madness of a military general. He knew in his heart that military exploits did not come all the time. Only at critical moments, when the opportunity came and was seized, could he become famous in one fell swoop.
However, when the opportunity comes, few people can seize it. In history, as long as the generals who seize the opportunity, they all transform into dragons.
From military general to famous general!
It often takes a strange and legendary battle, such as Wu'an Jun Bai Qi's Battle of Changping, to become a god in one fell swoop and gain the respect of the world.
So, so does he!
Having read a lot about military science and being born into a family of generals, Meng Tian knew in his heart that he could only become the unparalleled number one general in the Qin Dynasty by establishing illustrious military exploits that were unmatched by others.
Moreover, no military exploits can be compared with border exploits, and no border exploits can be compared with the achievements of opening up borders and expanding territory.
And the opportunity Ying Gao gave him today was a great achievement in opening up new territories and expanding his territory. If he couldn't seize it, he would be ashamed of his family's decades of teaching.
"General, in this land, Touman Chanyu, King Xian of the left, King Xian of the right, and the remaining kings are vying for the throne. It is not very peaceful at all."
"But it has always been balanced. If our army destroys Hetao and merges with Daqin, this balance may be broken again in an instant."
Meng Tian's eyes were like daggers. He was telling Ying Gao about the dangers of this battle. Even though his military exploits were brilliant, Tou Man and King Zuo Xian might end up in ruins. In the end, the situation would be irreversible.
"Once Touman and others are dismissed, with Jiuyuan's current military strength, they will not be able to hold on for long, and the Six Kingdoms of Kanto will inevitably rise up and revolt."
"Has the General ever considered this?"
Hearing this, Ying Gao chuckled, looked at the map of Chang'an for a long time, and said: "Of course I have considered it, so I will only take half."
"The remaining half is for the future——!"
Now Ying Gao and Meng Tian only have the 30,000 capital troops in Meng Tian's hands, the real elite of the Qin Dynasty, and the 50,000 troops in Ying Gao's hands.
However, only 10,000 of the 50,000 troops were elite, and the rest were just a bunch of rabble.
This means that among the 80,000 troops in Jiuyuan, only 40,000 are elite and capable of fighting in a battle.
Within its means, Da Qin is only qualified to take half!
At this thought, Ying Gao turned to look at Meng Tian and chuckled: "The general is the arm that my father relies on, and he was born in a military family. What does the general think of this battle?"
Regarding Meng Tian, Ying Gao did not dare to underestimate him. He knew in his heart that anyone who leaves his name in history is an outstanding person in the world.
What's more, the book is full of praise for Meng Tian!
Such a great talent can help a country and support it.
It is clearly recorded in the book that the assistants left by the First Emperor to the eldest son Fusu could be manipulated by the heavens. A generation of outstanding people did not die on the battlefield, but died at home.
Perhaps this is the sadness of soldiers.
Hearing this, Meng Tian's eyes were deep, and he walked to the front of the long case and said word by word: "This battle may seem easy but it is also difficult. The only army that can be used is the general."
"If the number of young men in the army of King Youxian is not less than 100,000, the general only has 50,000 troops in his hands!"
With eyes as bright as a torch, Ying Gao stared at the long case in silence for a long time. Naturally, he heard what Meng Tian meant. In this battle, Meng Tian would not move lightly.
Before the Jing Diversion Project is completed, Da Qin cannot have anyone to go north. In this case, Mengtian's troops need to use Jiuyuan Fort and cooperate with 30,000 capital troops to hold back Touman Shanyu's army.
At this thought, Ying Gao hesitated.
With an army of 50,000 and a hundred thousand Xiongnu young and strong, Ying Gao couldn't do it. This was frontal hard steel, and his age limited his ability to charge into battle.
In such a charge, a person's emotions are extremely important. Every move of a peerless general can boost the morale of the army in a way that ordinary people cannot compare to.
Frontal battles in which a small number defeats a large number are usually fought by strong generals. After all, the impact of a peerless general on the morale of the army is terrifying.
As soon as he thought of this, a flash of light flashed across Ying Gao's eyes, and he said to Meng Tian: "This battle will be handed over to General Meng. I wonder how sure General Meng is?"
After thinking about it, Ying Gao finally made a decision. Meng Tian was called the best warrior in China in the book. He was naturally brave and diligent. Moreover, Meng Tian once commanded an army of 300,000 and was stationed in the north. This shows that Meng Tian's ability to command troops is clear.
.
Therefore, in order to win and hide his edge, Ying Gao planned to give this opportunity to others.
"Let me go?"
At this moment, after repeated confirmation, Meng Tian was still extremely surprised.
As someone who was born into a military family, he naturally has a good vision. He naturally knows that this battle has great maneuverability and the possibility of success is not low.
The success of opening up and expanding territory!
Even if they only conquered half of the Hetao area, it would still be an achievement of becoming a prince and becoming a prime minister, which would be enough to make a person glorious for a lifetime and astound the entire Qin Dynasty.
Meng Tian knew that his relationship with Ying Gao was not good, and even because of the eldest son Fusu, there was a deadly feud between them that would never end.
After all, it is about the position of the crown prince, and there is no room for mercy!
Thoughts flickered in his mind, and Meng Tian didn't believe it. He couldn't help but said to Ying Gao: "General, the success of opening up and expanding the territory is right in front of you. Are you sure you want to give it to others?"
Hearing this, Ying Gao glanced at Meng Tian, paused, and said: "I am only 50% sure that I will go in person, but I am at least 70% sure that the general will go!"
"I am the Lord of the Northern Territory and the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Even if the general wins, his military achievements will still be a part of his victory. It cannot be said that he has surrendered to others!"
…
Ying Gao's eyes were sharp, and he knew in his heart that there was no free lunch in this world. If he wanted to become the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, he had to stand on the side of the general trend.
Moreover, he knew how powerful and deep-rooted these military families were.
Ying Gao wanted to build a prosperous Great Qin, but he never thought of building a Great Qin that belonged to him alone. This was unrealistic.
No matter how lofty your ideals are, as long as you are an enemy of the entire world, you will definitely be crushed by the mighty current of this world.
After resurrecting his life, Ying Gao was originally a simple person. He did not seek to be as magnificent as the clouds, nor did he seek to be unparalleled in the world.
In this life, Ying Gao is only willing to watch Great Qin become better and better, so as not to perish in the second generation.
If possible, I hope that Da Qin will become better as he remembers it, so that he can live a life full of burdens.
With thoughts flashing in his mind, Ying Gao took a deep look at Meng Tian and said seriously.
"General Meng, I don't care about your military exploits. As long as you can win this battle, I will go south to Xianyang and personally ask my father for your merits!"
