Chapter 1433: Pay Respects

Chapter 333: The East Palace's SchemeChapter 1433: Greetings

Relieved, Li Chen looked up and saw a group of people running towards him.

It was precisely Cheng Fuzhao, the governor-general of Gansu and Shaanxi provinces, who had come to support Yuemen Pass.

Cheng Fuzhao, upon seeing Li Chen, immediately came over and wanted to bow deeply without saying a word.

"You're welcome."

Li Chen said solemnly, "Can the support from Gansu and Shaanxi provinces arrive in full"

Everything is in place.

Cheng Fuzhao replied, "Supplies and grain have arrived at Yueya Pass with the first batch of 40,000 elite soldiers. General Wu BanShan is currently receiving them. As long as the procedures are completed, they can be immediately deployed for combat."

This is good news.

But Li Chen's mood didn't improve much because of this.

He was very clear that the soldiers sent from Gansu and Shaanxi provinces couldn't withstand such high-intensity and fierce combat.

While the battlefield is a superb training ground for a soldier to mature quickly, if they exceed its threshold of tolerance, then ordinary soldiers charging in can only be cannon fodder.

Although Li Chen had already experienced the brutality of this war through various intelligence reports, seeing it with his own eyes today made him realize that he had previously underestimated the difficulty and ferocity of the battle.

Support for Yueya Pass must absolutely not be reduced at this time.

Otherwise, I'm afraid we won't be able to carry out our plan before the Moon Gate is breached.

The Liao army of six hundred thousand cavalry charged the city relentlessly, and this assault had already lasted for a month. No one knew if Yelü Shenxuan would be forced to unleash even more powerful tactics next.

Thinking of this, Li Chen immediately ordered Xu Wei.

"Imperial decree, expedite Ning Wang's reinforcements, arriving before dawn tomorrow, if not, then there is no need."

Xu Wei immediately obeyed the order.

But Cheng Fu Zhao, upon hearing this, widened his eyes in astonishment.

Who doesn't know that King Ning is defiant towards the court When the war at Yueya Pass just began, several imperial edicts were issued by the court. King Ning pretended to be foolish and complained all sorts of things on the surface, but privately he didn't even dispatch a single soldier.

Now that the Crown Prince has arrived, it seems that King Ning agrees to send troops.

...and still urged the King of Ning to hasten his march in a tone bordering on reprimand. ...

Cheng Fuzhao realized that after the Crown Prince left Gansu and Shaanxi, he must have done something very important in Jincheng, but he didn't know what it was.

"Let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion first."

Li Chen said: "Matters on the front lines, leave to the commanders there. This palace now needs to know the entire strategic plan for Yueya Pass."

At the order, the army marched in a mighty procession towards the City Lord's Mansion.

But at this very moment, a thousand miles away from the battlefields of Yueya Pass, the capital city was enjoying peace and tranquility.

"Today is the first day of the month, and I have come to pay my respects to the Empress."

Su Jinpa stood with Zhao Rui outside Fengxi Palace, and said calmly.

The maidservant in charge of the Fengxi Palace dared not neglect her duties. She curtsied to Su Jinpa and then said, “Your Majesty has just woken up and is still getting dressed. Please wait a moment, Your Highness, I will go report it now.”

Su Jin's voice was soft, "Thank you."

"I dare not."

The maidservant curtsied again and hurried away.

Once the maidservants had left, Su Jinpang turned to Zhao Rui behind him and said, "Later, don't be afraid."

Zhao Rui pursed her lips and said, "This concubine will obey my elder sister in everything."rit his teeth and walk over since they had run into each other."My son pays his respects to the Empress Dowager.""My younger brother has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."Bowing respectfully, L...
