In the early morning, a messenger rushed into Chang’an, which was shrouded in a thin mist. As the sound of galloping hooves echoed on the cobblestone roads, the news of the Qingzhou Army’s victory at Shanhai Pass quickly spread.
“Great victory at Shanhai Pass! The Qingzhou Army has recaptured the mighty Shanhai Pass!”
“Shanhai Pass has been retaken!”
“…”
The messenger continued spreading the news, heading straight to the imperial palace. He had set off from Qingzhou five days ago and had finally arrived in Chang’an.
The morning court session was about to start, and officials were walking in groups along the Zhuque Avenue in Chang’an.
As the messenger passed by the officials, the news naturally reached their ears. Immediately, a ripple of surprise spread across the previously calm avenue.
“Lord Zhang, did I hear correctly? The Qingzhou Army has retaken Shanhai Pass?” one official in a red robe asked in disbelief.
Lord Zhang, also uncertain, turned to ask a nearby colleague, “Lord Liu, did this messenger say they’ve recaptured Shanhai Pass?”
“Yes, the Qingzhou Army has retaken Shanhai Pass, but how is that possible?” Lord Liu said with a look of disbelief. “Even though the barbarians were defeated in Jizhou, their forces were still strong. Shanhai Pass is an impenetrable fortress. Even an army of 500,000 couldn’t breach it. How could 30,000 soldiers from Prince Qi manage it?”
