A heavy rain in early summer came quickly and walked quickly, and the dry land did not penetrate into the land because of the rain, so the rain flowed to the low-lying places wrapped in sediment, flowed into the river, and finally collected into the Chen River, making the river swell and muddy.

The yellowish plants were knocked down by the torrential rain, and they looked miserable and pitiful.

This is a heavy rain on both sides of the Chen River since the beginning of spring, but it has not brought real moisture to the land, but has taken away a lot of fertile soil.

The farmer looked at the dying seedlings and wanted to cry without tears.

The clouds of the great war hung over both sides of the Chen River, and this time it suffered a sudden natural disaster, and most of the people were able to leave, and they began to prepare to evacuate.

The victims of war are the vulnerable population.

Qin's actions really caused public resentment.

War without justification is not advisable.

Because of the appearance of the Xia State Water Army and the Black Flag Army, the pace of the Qin State army's southern invasion was delayed.

The Qin army, which was lonely and difficult to support in the territory of Suli, had to retreat to Kunshan and the Gadfly Mountains, but it involved too much experience and military strength in Suli.

Su Jie drove Bao Feng and the others back to the mountain, but he didn't dare to be careless, thinking about going into the mountain to exterminate the Qin army in one go, but he was powerless.

The Qin army in Bao Feng and the Gadfly Mountains has been operating for so many years, and the protective measures are as solid as a rock, and under the premise that large siege equipment cannot be moved into the mountains, these two Qin army strongholds are really like two turtle shells, and they can't be gnawed at all.

In order to prevent them from coming out, Su Jie reluctantly deployed most of the troops under his control in these two places, and the Chen Jiang defense line was not assisted by the Xia army, so he really couldn't transfer men and horses to defend.

This situation made Su Jie annoyed and helpless.

Su Kan also wanted to eradicate these two tumors and prepared to transfer the border guards in the east, but Li Guo's ambiguous behavior made him hesitate.

Li and Suli are feuds, not to mention whether they are following in the footsteps of Qin, but with just one hatred, you can't ignore Li Guo.

That's the disadvantage of the location.

In the end, there was no way, so I had to ask Xia Guo for help.

Xia Guo has a reason to send troops.

When Li Zongxun received the holy decree of the Qin Emperor, he happened to catch up with a heavy rain, although it was not long, but it was too urgent, and the Chen River rose.

This shows that the upper reaches of the Chen River, that is, the Bashu Kingdom, the source of the Li family, must have had heavier and longer rains.

This brought great difficulties to Li Zongxun's dispatch of troops.

Emperor Qin's holy decree did not change, and he immediately sent troops to attack the Xia Kingdom.

To fight the Xia Kingdom, you must first take the Wuwei Kingdom or the western part of the Suli Kingdom, only here can you reach the Xia Kingdom, of course, there are other paths, such as taking the Cangyue Kingdom to the Li Kingdom and crossing the Li River.

But the same problem is there, that is, to destroy the Cangyue Kingdom first, but this is much more difficult than destroying the Wuwei Kingdom.

It is also possible to pass through the Suri country, but for the time being, it is even more difficult to destroy the Suri country or let the Suri country surrender.

At the very least, Li Zongxun is not confident that he will take the Suri Kingdom in a short period of time.

There is another way, that is, to organize a huge fleet to go down the river in the Bashu Kingdom, land from the east of the Zongye Kingdom, cross the entire territory of the Wuwei Kingdom, and go straight to the Luoyan Gorge from the junction of the Southwest Southern Barbarian State and the Shitang County of the former South Suli State, and go north to seize the entire territory of the former South Suli State occupied by the Xia State, and advance eastward to the Luoyan Gorge Fortress, block the exit of the Suli State, and slowly wear down the national strength of the Xia State.

However, in comparison, it is the most convenient and smoothest to go to Shangcheng to take Wuwei Kingdom, but the problem is that a few years ago, several famous Hou Ye of Qin State folded their halberds here.

And they have much more troops than Li Zongxun.

Li Zongxun can command less than 500,000 people now, he doesn't understand what the saint thinks, but if he receives the holy decree, he has to carry it out unconditionally.

"The biggest difficulty now is how to transport the army across the Chen River and the Li River. ”

Li Zongxun said sadly to the Marquis of Jinyang and the supervisor Shi Qin Song.

"That's really a problem. ”

Marquis of Jinyang nodded in response.

Qin Song glared at the Marquis of Jinyang dissatisfied.

The Marquis of Jin Yang is now the deputy commander, but he may have failed a few years ago and was captured and left a shadow, or he was treacherous in learning, and he didn't open his mouth if he couldn't open his mouth, he really had to speak, so he just said things that didn't make sense, and to put it bluntly, it was nonsense, and if he complied.

"Isn't there three or four hundred boats in Li Chaoyang, he is your subordinate general, and the transfer will solve the ferry problem. ”

They are all royals, and Qin Song is not taboo when he speaks.

"Oh, brother, you also know that General Li is not my subordinate general now, and he is also a marquis, on an equal footing with me, besides, the matter of transferring troops and horses must be approved by the Holy Lord before it can be dispatched. ”

Li Chaoyang is now the new Yingchuan Marquis, surnamed Hou, to say that he is on an equal footing with the Marquis of Jinyang, it is an exaggeration, because Li Chaoyang is only the new Yingchuan County of the Qin State, that is, more than half of the territory of the Baling State he occupied, which was set up as Yingchuan County by the Qin Empire, he is the Marquis of the county, and the Marquis of Jinyang is too different, but there is one thing that is stronger than the Marquis of Jinyang, that is, Li Chaoyang has 400,000 soldiers and horses, of which 20,000 are newly built soon.

To say that what the Marquis of Jin Yang said is also a half-truth.

If you want to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Marquis of Yingchuan, you really need to review and report to the Qin Emperor for approval.

It's a hassle.

No way, institutional problems.

Li Chaoyang is now a celebrity in the army, after all, he is a hero who opened up the territory of the Qin State.

Li Zongxun couldn't move.

The Marquis of Jinyang also couldn't move.

The main problem now is that Li Zongxun does not have so much power, that is, the Qin Emperor did not give him that much power.

"I don't know what the Holy One thinks?"

Li Zongxun didn't dare to talk about the emperor openly, but there were many puzzles in his heart.

"Figure it out for yourself. ”

The next day, the sky was overcast, and since he had received a holy decree urging him to send troops, he had no choice but to obey his orders
