The Minister of War, Yu Jie, received news of the battle situation at Nankou Pass later than Jingtai Emperor due to the distance.
A 'Fire-Eye Crow' flew through the air and landed at Xuanfu City's General's Mansion, almost simultaneously arriving with a purple-gold arrow talisman.
This arrow talisman was also sent by Zuo Daoxing, informing Yu Jie about the destruction of the five Yunzhong warships.
The arrow talisman was sent much earlier than the 'fire eye golden crow', but due to the talisman's slower speed, it arrived later.
These swift feathered creatures were used by Zuo Daoxing to convey crucial messages.
For instance, the fall of Nankou City - this could allow Yu Jie and the Emperor to know as soon as possible and prepare swiftly.
At this time, all the Youji Generals and above in Xuanfu were gathered in the General's Mansion, discussing whether they should assist the Capital City or how to rescue it.
