More than half a month has passed since the war broke out at Yueyangguan.
When Wu Bishan and others discovered that this time the Liao army was not joking, but really planned to attack with a total of 600,000 troops, they immediately sent an urgent military message back to the capital.
To this end, Wu Banshan used the highest-level transmission channels and spread the news to the capital within one day.
But both he and Wu Qingcang believed that even if the court received the news in the shortest time, it would take at least half a month from discussing countermeasures to mobilizing troops. Then the supporting troops would rush to Crescent Pass. Depending on the distance, the speed would be
It will take three to five days, and then several months to be able to provide effective support to Crescent Gate.
On the third or fifth day, King Ning's army will arrive.
On the 10th, troops from Gansu and Shaanxi arrived.
But now that the news has been sent back for more than half a month and a few days, it turned out to be the Liaodong Army.
No matter who comes, as long as someone comes with support, it will be rain from heaven for Crescent Pass.
Almost running wildly to the city lord's mansion, Wu Bishan walked in and saw a young general Lang talking to his brother Wu Qingcang.
"Our commander at Yueyang Pass has arrived."
Wu Qingcang saw Wu Banshan running over, pointed at him and smiled at Su Pingbei.
Su Pingbei's eyes lit up, he raised his hand and saluted Wu Banshan and said: "The last general, Su Pingbei, was ordered to lead the Liaodong Army to support the Crescent Pass. I met Commander Wu here."
Wu Banshan was in a very cheerful and relaxed mood at this time. He laughed loudly and said: "I knew the imperial court would not give up on us. General Su, please excuse me. It is wartime now, so there is no need to commensurate with military rank, just say military rank.
"
Commander is a position, general is a military rank.
Although generals are divided into grades, as long as they reach the rank of general, they are the senior commanders in the army. In essence, there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority.
This can be regarded as Wu Banshan's courtesy to Su Pingbei.
Immediately afterwards, he asked excitedly: "General Su came here this time, how many people did he bring, and how much supplies did he bring?"
Su Pingbei smiled slightly and said: "General, don't be anxious, wait for the last general to finish the business first."
Wu Bishan was stunned for a while.
Business?
What could be better than support and supplies?
Before Wu Banshan could say anything, Su Pingbei coughed, stood on the top of the steps, respectfully took out a bright yellow imperial edict from his arms, and said loudly to everyone: "The imperial edict has arrived!"
"Wu Qingcang, Wu Banshan, and all the soldiers at Crescent Pass, accept the order!"
When the imperial edict came, in the land of Qin, except for the emperor himself and the officials who read out the edict, everyone from the princes, generals and ministers to the traffickers and soldiers knelt down.
Brothers Wu Qingcang and Wu Banshan looked grim, led a room of generals to kneel down, and said respectfully: "I'm waiting, accept the order."
Su Pingbei glanced around and saw that everyone looked respectful. Although there were many people on the scene, there was silence. He thought that the troops at Yueyangguan were really well-disciplined and uniform. Such military discipline could not be matched by many in the country.
Come.
Suppressing his thoughts, Su Pingbei's eyes fell on the imperial edict, Qi Lun Dantian, and read out in a deep voice: "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says: General Wu Qing Cang is in vain to seek truth and rely on his subordinates to serve as ministers. If you pay homage, you must rely on it."
