"You just said that the one guarding the city is Le Sheng!" Murong Bing held his forehead: "If I remember correctly, this Le Sheng seems to be only seventeen or eighteen years old this year, two years younger than me. Let a child be responsible for the safety of Jicheng
, how can it be defended?"
Shangguan Mu was also shocked by the report, but he quickly calmed down.
"Your Majesty, it seems that General Bai will not be able to stay in the court for a long time after his troops return to the court. He should be allowed to lead the troops from the nine towns of the imperial city to the eastern border immediately to strengthen the border defense!"
Murong Bing adjusted her breathing and tried to calm down her emotions.
Dashang and Beiyan were originally from the same royal family, so there was no decent border defense on the border between the two countries.
Thousands of soldiers were sent to garrison there as a token number, sometimes even less than a few hundred.
Now Beiyan is in danger and is very likely to threaten Dashang, so he can only send a large army there.
Shangguan Mu's proposal is considered the best plan. If the old minister wants to rebel, he can only transfer soldiers from the nine towns.
Now by transferring these people to the border, he can mobilize the soldiers and horses of Longtian Camp to the imperial city in an open and honest manner.
"Ready!" Murong Bing agreed immediately: "In addition, the northern border troubles have been resolved, so there is no need to station troops. Just order them to keep three thousand guards, and the rest will go to the eastern border."
Shangguan Mu immediately understood that Murong Bing was going to transfer all the troops who might be mobilized by the veterans to the east and let Bai Hua take command.
"As ordered, I will do it now."
"Wait a minute!" Murong Bing suddenly stopped Shangguan Mu: "You personally tell Bai Hua that all the troops transferred to the eastern border will be under his full control. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed on the spot regardless of their identity.
.”
Shangguan Mu was slightly startled, it seemed that Murong Bing wanted to take this opportunity to cleanse himself.
He was in a daze. The Great Shang Emperor in front of him looked more and more like an emperor.
"I obey the decree!"
During this period of time, spies from all over the world have been wandering around Beiyan, spying on the military situation.
Although the Great Shang achieved unimaginable results in a very short period of time, in the eyes of these vassal states, the areas that the Great Shang pacified were barren lands.
Beiyan is a serious vassal state!
If Beiyan is really destroyed this time, it will become the first prince to be destroyed among the nineteen kingdoms in the world.
That would have a huge impact on the world situation.
Ten days passed quickly, and many strong temporary camps appeared on the eastern border of Dashang.
Soldiers and horses from all walks of life arrived here one after another, and soon a total of 400,000 troops gathered here.
This is half of the troops in the Great Shang Kingdom today.
Bai Hua was extremely cautious in commanding such a large army for the first time.
From the moment they arrived here, they ordered the construction of camps, stocked up on food and grass, and sent out dozens of scouts every day.
Bai Hua looked at the map in front of him, and his eyes suddenly felt a little inexplicable admiration.
"What is the origin of this Lesheng? Jicheng should have only 70,000 to 80,000 old and weak soldiers, but he was able to hold on for more than 20 days under the siege of a million troops."
All the generals in the camp also praised Le Sheng.
He is just a baby of seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was able to achieve such an extent when he was ordered to do so in a critical situation.
Many of the generals present felt ashamed. If it were them, they would not be able to hold on to such a desperate situation for two days before the city would be broken.
