Everything seemed normal, so Li Chen didn't spend too much time on this matter.
"Pay close attention to every move of the three of them, and any incident, no matter how big or small, must be reported on time every day."
After giving the order, Li Chen put down the news from Beijing and took out another report.
This report comes from the Crescent Pass front line.
There were two copies of the report, one was sent directly to Li Chen, and the other was submitted to the commander-in-chief's office for military assessment and discussion, and then Su Zhenting wrote down his opinions on how to deal with it, and then handed it over to Li Chen.
In terms of military professionalism, Li Chen is very self-aware. It is okay to let him fiddle with muskets and grenades, but in large-scale cluster operations in the era of cold weapons, his level is not even half-assed. It is better not to meddle in military command indiscriminately.
Just know what the generals below are doing and what they plan to do.
Open the memorial, the content inside is very simple.
I am just stating one thing, that is, the battle situation at Crescent Pass is very critical, and the current situation can last for ten days at most.
And as the Liao army's offensive became more intense, the casualties at Yueyang Pass began to increase sharply.
Almost all officers and soldiers went into battle, and three squads fell to the ground and kept letting go. But even so, they still could not stop the Liao army's increasingly fierce offensive.
Without him, the gap in strength between the two armies would be too great.
At the bottom of the report, behind the shocking casualty figures, Wu Qingcang made two simple and straightforward demands.
Increase military support, and what is bigger than the military gap is the gap in city defense supplies.
This gap has reached the point where almost all the buildings that can be demolished have been demolished in Crescent Gate, and almost all civilians, soldiers and civilians have been crowded into military camp tents.
Immediately following the report was Su Zhenting's annotation after gathering the opinions of all senior generals in Beijing, including the General Office, the General Staff Office, and the Logistics Office.
"There were originally more than 86,000 garrison troops at Crescent Pass. After receiving support from the Liaodong Army, the total number of troops reached 100,000. Although the imperial court did its best to provide support, it was still insufficient for the 600,000 cavalry of the Liao Army."
"Although the support from Gansu and Shaanxi has been in place one after another, it has been intermittent and there is a suspicion of shirk. Cheng Fuzhao, the governor of Gansu and Shaanxi, said bluntly that Gansu and Shaanxi are suffering from the cold and have tried their best to provide support. However, due to their own poverty and hardship, it is really unsustainable. He asked the court to reduce the amount of support.
If the support for Yueyangguan does not decrease, Gansu and Shaanxi will squeeze out the last drop of blood and bones to rush to Yueyangguan, but the time limit cannot be guaranteed..."
"I believe that the current crisis at Crescent Pass is no longer a local war, but should be elevated to a national war, a national war. I would like to invite Your Highness to send a letter to all the northwest provinces. At this moment, the overall situation and the military should be the most important."
Li Chen had no expression on his face. He closed the memorial and slapped it hard on the memorial.
There was a muffled bang, which frightened Jin Yiwei Qianhu to the point where he immediately knelt down.
"Governor-General of Gansu and Shaanxi, Cheng Fuzhao!"
Li Chen sneered and asked those thousands of households: "How many days is the journey from here to Haojing, the capital of Gansu and Shaanxi provinces?"
The thousand households did not dare to hesitate and immediately replied: "If it is one person and one horse, and the horses work hard day and night, it will take five days. If the caravan moves forward without stopping along the way, it will take seven days at the fastest."
"Seven days."
Li Chen narrowed his eyes and asked again: "How many days will it take from Haojing to Jincheng where Prince Ning is?"
