"Elder Xiao, even if the pond water is strong, it will be difficult to stop the Qin State, which is estimated to be at least 200,000 horses. ”

Mao Jie frowned, looked at the rain curtain outside the tent, worried.

"You can block it for as long as you can. ”

Xiao Chulong's indifferent appearance made Mao Jie, who had very good military talent, a little unhappy, and he thought that Xiao Chulong was going to give up the two cities of Jixi and Wuling.

Maybe Xiao Chulong doesn't care about this place, but Mao Jie cares, this is his hometown, the Mao family is a big family in Wuling, originally this place was occupied by Balingguo, and at that time, Balingguo was also trying its best to win over the Mao family, so the Mao family had private soldiers, and later Balingguo also hired the Mao family into the army, and the Mao family produced several outstanding generals, including Mao Jie.

Later, Baling Kingdom returned Beiwuling and Jixi to Zongye State, because it was impossible for the Mao family to follow Baling State, so he was hired by the king of Zongye State as the county guard and city lord of Wuling and Jixi, in fact, the Mao family in the two cities of Jiangbei had more than half of the autonomy.

More than half of the military and political affairs of the two cities were supported by the Mao family.

This is also something that cannot be helped, who let the Zongye country lack management and military talents.

In recent years, the Mao family has been good, managing and guarding this territory for the Xiao family.

Now let him abandon the city and flee, Mao Jie will never agree, the Qin army is not Balingguo, the Mao family will definitely not be able to protect the family from being eradicated, he will insist, and at the worst of all, he will insist until the family transfers people and property to avoid military disasters.

Xiao Chulong glanced at Mao Jie.

Mao Jie couldn't help palpitating, this was a bad feeling.

"Yesterday, more than a dozen big ships left from the North City Wharf, I don't know where to go?"

Hearing this, Mao Jie chuckled in his heart, and a cold sweat appeared on his back.

"Elder Xiao, the last general has been on the northern front, and it is not clear. ”

Mao Jie didn't lie, he really didn't know, but he guessed that the only one who could have more than ten big ships in Wuling City was the Mao family, could it be that the family really withdrew?

This is not a good sign, that is to say, it is really not a good time for the family to choose to leave at this point in time, and they have not said hello to him.

"Yes, I see. ”

Xiao Chulong didn't ask Mao Jie again, but looked at the rain outside with his hands behind his back.

There was silence in the tent for a while, but the sound of raindrops hitting the roof of the shed was really irritating.

Mao Jie's heart was a little cold, just like this rainy day.

"Mao Jie, you said that in such weather, can the Qin army cross the river?"

Putting away his irritable heart, Mao Jie still replied from a professional point of view.

"Although the Beihe River is not very wide, and the current is not urgent, but during this period of a few rains, the river water has skyrocketed, if it is the warship ferry of the Xia State Water Army, it can carry 200,000 horses a day, and it also needs hundreds of medium-sized warships, but the Qin Army does not have a water army, even if it is forced, tens of thousands of people are very good. ”

"What I'm asking you is, will they be able to cross the river today in such weather?"

Mao Jie suddenly felt that the answer just now was a bit off-topic, so he quickly replied:

"It has little impact on the Xia army, but for the people of Qin, they will not choose such weather to cross the river. ”

Mao Jie still compared the Xia army with things, and couldn't help but make Xiao Chulong's eyebrows pick.

"Oh, then let the soldiers rest. ”

Mao Jie was a little disgusted with Xiao Chulong's participation in his command operation, but Xiao Chulong said this at this time, and he had no reason to refute it, speaking of which, it was indeed very hard for the army to withdraw from the North River in the rain to Chishui Pass, so it was time to rest well and recharge to welcome the arrival of the Qin army.

"Mao Jie, do you think it is possible for us to use 50,000 people to destroy the Qin army?"

"Huh?!"
