Chapter 1255 Everyone in the world owes you a thank you
But Wu Qingcang made this decision out of frustration.
No matter how big the price is, it can't be bigger than the crescent pass being broken.
At that time, it was really too late to do anything.
Military orders are like mountains. Once spoken, there can be no doubt.
The city lord's palace immediately became busy.
To demolish the buildings outside, a lot of manpower is needed to carry out the demolition and persuasion. The disadvantage is that in Yueyangguan where all the people are soldiers. If you were in other places, you would not even think about such an order, because the people would fight you to the death.
"General Su, please follow me inside to talk."
Wu Qingcang greeted Su Pingbei and took Wu Bishan inside, arriving at a small room full of military maps and beacons of all sizes.
Looking at the group of twelve elite guards standing at the door, you can tell that this room is definitely the core of Crescent Pass.
After entering the house, Wu Qingcang personally poured a glass of water for Su Pingbei and said: "Yueya Pass is a bitter cold place, and now is a special period, so the conditions are simple. With only this white water supply, General Su doesn't want it.
joke."
Su Pingbei took the water cup with both hands and looked at the slightly yellowish white water in the cup. He suddenly remembered a rumor and asked: "I heard that the water needed at Crescent Pass requires soldiers to go thirty miles away to transport it?"
"
Wu Banshan next to him was most familiar with the situation of Yueyang Pass, so he replied: "It is true. Yueyang Pass is located in a dry land. Our ancestors once drilled 120 wells around the city, the deepest of which was more than four meters deep."
It was ten feet away, but there was still no drop of water, so we had to send troops thirty miles away every day and use pack horses to transport it."
"And as time goes by, the water there is almost drying up. Even if it is there, it still has an indelible muddy smell. General Su may not be used to it when he first arrived, but we are all used to it."
Hearing this, Su Pingbei was greatly shocked.
Although he had a strict upbringing, he was born as a general and was still the most prominent general in the Qin Empire.
No matter how strict Su Zhenting controls him, Su Pingbei has never experienced such a hard life.
He raised his head and drank the yellowish water in the cup. As expected, there was a smell of earth in his mouth. He raised his head and solemnly said to Wu Banshan and Wu Qingcang: "Your Highness is right. The people of the world owe Yue Yaguan a thank you."
Upon hearing these words, Wu Banshan's body was shaken.
This rough man, who had been on duty at Crescent Gate for more than ten years and had never frowned even in the face of many dangers and serious injuries, now felt a soreness in his nose.
He said in a deep voice: "With His Highness's words, all our soldiers at Yueyangguan can still smile even if they die in battle."
Su Pingbei sighed softly.
Looking at Wu Banshan, Wu Qingcang, and the soldiers outside who had sacrificed everything for this battle to defend the city in front of him, he really couldn't say the next words.
After hesitating, Su Pingbei suppressed the words for the time being.
He opened his mouth and said: "Shuai Wu, General Wu, I believe you should know that the support that the imperial court can send now except for my Liaodong Army and the troops from Gansu and Shaanxi, there is no other support."
"Prince Ning... don't have high hopes."
Although he had been mentally prepared, when he heard what Su Pingbei said personally, Wu Qingcang still said in a deep voice: "Isn't Prince Ning willing to send troops?"
Su Pingbei sneered: "As soon as he received the battle report, His Highness immediately sent an official letter as quickly as possible asking King Ning to send troops, but King Ning said... that the soldiers under his command were infected with the epidemic and were not suitable to send troops to fight.
