Chapter 148: A Kick to the TopChapter 1419: Order Wu Shuai to Take Action
Wu Qingcang is not being polite, this is common knowledge.
Su Pingbei's father is Su Zhen, the current undisputed number one military figure in the country of Da Qin.
His older sister, Su Jinpa, is the crown princess, the future empress of the empire.
The Su family had already reached the very core circle at the peak of the Qin Empire.
Not to mention that Su Pingbei was brave and skilled in battle, and even won the Battle of Xianchao.
Even if he simply lay on his laurels and relied on his family's influence, he could easily secure the position of a high-ranking general.
Even many people thought that Su Pingbei shouldn't have come to Yueya Pass this month.
But Su Pingbei was not an ordinary person after all.
He not only came to Yuéyaguān, but also wanted to return alive.
Faced with Wu Qingcang's words, Su Pingbei grinned and said, "Wu Shuai, please order."
A single word can sometimes speak volumes.
Wu Qingcang picked up a command arrow and said in a deep voice, "Su Pingbei, obey!"
Su Pingbei immediately knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together and raised his head to await orders.
Wu Qingcang took a deep breath and said, "Su Pingbei, this general will give you one more chance. You should know that military orders are like mountains. Once this general issues this order, there will be no possibility of regret."
Su Pingbei shouted loudly, "Please order Wu Shuai!"
Inside the tent, many other generals stared intently at Su Pingbei.
The passion of soldiers is universal.
At this moment, no one does not admire Su Pingbei.
As a commander, obedience to military orders is an inescapable duty.
But Su Pingbei had other options, yet he remained resolute. This alone would ensure that no one in the capital would underestimate this young warrior from the city.
Wu Qingscang hesitated no longer, he took the military order and said in a deep voice: “Su Pingbei, this general orders you to lead a thousand light cavalry out of the pass, bypass the battlefield, and seize the opportunity to cut off the Liao army's supply line!”
"This task, you are not limited by your departure time, nor your return time, nor the time to complete the task, but Su Pingbei!"
Wu Qingscang walked in front of Su Pingbei and solemnly handed him the military order, saying with utmost solemnity: "General, and all the soldiers of Yueya Pass, are waiting here for your triumphant return. When you come back, all the soldiers will go out of the city to welcome you. I will personally set up a victory banquet for you. You must let your brothers have a drink."
Su Pingbei raised both hands, took the order, stood up, and said: "Please rest assured, General Wu, I will surely return victorious. This drink, I can't escape."
Although everyone knew the risks of this mission were so great that it was almost impossible to return safely, everyone was full of confidence at this moment.
Wu Qingcang nodded and said, "Supplies in the city are not plentiful, but you should prioritize your selection to meet your replenishment needs."
All commanders need supplies. Even a few tattered pieces of armor would cause a scramble during normal times. It was commonplace for several generals to quarrel over a small batch of supplies. However, now, no one would dare to compete with Su Pingbei for resources. Instead, it was considered natural.
As long as Su Pingbei's mission is successful, the pressure on Yueyaguan will be greatly reduced, and they will have more time to wait for the next batch of imperial reinforcements.
Patting Su Pingbei on the shoulder, Wu Qingcang turned to the crowd and said: "This time I called you all here, there is another good news, that is, the Yan Yun Sixteen Riders will arrive at Yueya Pass within two days."
This caused a huge commotion in the camp, which had been eerily silent just moments before.e cost, and I can't stop him."So don't stop me.Li Chen sneered, “I was frightened just now, and my mood is not good. So I want to kill a batch of members from the White Lotus Sect to calm down. Jian X...
