Chapter 1420: Support
The recent reinforcements to Yueya Pass did not come from Gansu and Shaanxi, but from the fiefdom of the King of Ning.
It's common knowledge that the King of Ning is disloyal and estranged from the court. Faced with the urgent crisis at Yueya Pass, no one would be naive enough to expect aid from King Ning.
Now, the King Ning has truly come.
And as soon as he made his move, he deployed his most elite Yan Yun Sixteen Riders.
This elite cavalry of the Qin Empire, started by Emperor Tiangu and finally completed under Emperor Daxing, has always been the exclusive possession of King Ning. They were meticulously cared for, treated as precious treasures, fearing any harm might befall them. So why on earth would he send the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders to Yueya Pass?
In any case, it's good to have support now.
For the generals at Yuanyang Pass, they were already on the verge of death from thirst. They wouldn't care if the water before them was clean or not, even if it was poisonous. As long as it kept them alive, they would drink it first.
Therefore, the atmosphere within the tent was still more excited than suspicious.
Looking at the expressions of his many generals, Wu Qingcang finally spoke, "This matter is still top secret. Generals, you all understand what I mean. Once you leave this tent, do not mention it to anyone, or face military law."
"I obey!"
Inside the tent, all the generals spoke in unison.
Nodding, Wu Qingcang said again: "You all disperse and prepare for the arrival of a new batch of reinforcements."
Someone exclaimed in astonishment, "Wu Shuai, isn't King Ning's Yan Yun Sixteen Riders supposed to arrive in two days?"
A smile appeared on Wu Qingsang's face as he said, "The reinforcements from Gansu and Shaanxi have arrived. This time, Gansu and Shaanxi sent 50,000 elite soldiers, along with a large amount of military supplies. What is even more valuable is that they also brought enough food for 100,000 people for half a month, as well as 300 military doctors and medicinal herbs. All these things are what Yueya Pass urgently needs, it can be said to be a blessing from heaven."

The generals in the tent were overjoyed to hear this.
If one were to say that the Sixteen Riders of Yan Yun from King Ning drank a poison that was unknown whether it was life or death, then this batch of reinforcements from Gansu and Shaanxi is undoubtedly a sweet rain, and it is a sweet rain without any worries.
Whether it's manpower or military doctors accompanying the army, both are the most urgently needed support at Yuèyá Guān right now.
"All of you, leave. Su Pingbei, stay."
Wu Qingscang waved his hand, dismissing the group of impatient generals who had been eager to receive their supplies. He kept Su Pingbei behind.
Soon, only the two of them were left in the tent.
"Wu Shuai."
Su Pingbei bowed respectfully to Wu Qingcang.
"Here, there are no outsiders. You don't have to be so polite."
Wu Qingcang waved his hand and said in a kind tone: "In terms of age and seniority, I am about the same as your father, General Su. If you don't mind, you can call me uncle."
Su Pingbei didn't put on airs and immediately said, "Nephew has met Uncle."
With a chuckle, Wu Qingcang patted Su Pingbei's shoulder and pulled him to sit beside him on the steps. "Ever since you brought the Liaodong Army here, I've been observing you and your army's performance, to be honest. In fact, it's not just me, all the soldiers in Yueya Pass have been watching your performance."
Su Pingbei laughed and said, “Nephew, have you disappointed your uncle?”
Wu Qingcang said: "There's no disappointment, on the contrary, I'm very satisfied. Your performance exceeded my expectations and you haven't disgraced the name of the God of War."
