Chapter 224: Frozen River

"General Yao. Chu Xiaoxiao looked at Yao Ai, who was full of tiredness, and silently bowed her head.

The Northwest Army had already fought with the enemy army of Di Rong Kingdom, and looking at the look on Yao Ai's face, Chu Xiaoxiao knew that the situation was not optimistic.

Dijon and Izumo had not been at war for ten years since the war ten years ago, and the ten years were more like an opportunity for Dijon to recuperate than the Izumo army, which was more prone to laziness.

Now that Dijon is in transgression, I am afraid that it is different from the past.

Chu Xiaoxiao didn't have any expression on her face, and Yao Ai seemed to realize that now was not the time to joke, so she said, "I really didn't expect to see the county lord of Huaiyang again so soon." ”

"General Yao should call me by my name. Chu Xiaoxiao said: "There should be rules in the army. ”

Hearing this, Yao Ai nodded, noncommittal.

Chu Xiaoxiao looked at the bloodshot in Yao Ai's eyes, hesitated for a moment and said, "Why is General Yao here at this time? ”

"You can see it......" Yao Ai turned his head to look at Chu Xiaoxiao and slowly exhaled.

Chu Xiaoxiao nodded, but didn't say much.

Yao Ai said inexplicably: "Speaking of which, this time Di Rong ...... I'm afraid that the picture is not small. ”

Not only is the plan not small, in Chu Xiaoxiao's opinion, Di Rong Country is clearly coming for the rivers and mountains of Izumo Country!

Chu Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, and then said, "I don't know if the general has a plan?"

"Strategy?" Yao Ai smiled bitterly, and then said: "The 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Dirong Kingdom are on the border, pointing directly at the Beijing Division, where did I get the strategy? Even if I have, can I still wipe out the 300,000 barbarian troops in the north?"

Not everyone in this world is a feudal man, and he can single-handedly bury the 200,000 troops of Dirong Kingdom in the Valley of Sorrow.

Even if the talent of Tianzhong is like a seal, didn't he take a life back then to be able to turn the tide?

Hearing this, Chu Xiaoxiao's face became solemn again.

When the war came, she had expected her to be excited, and pounced on it like a beast that smelled blood. But when he really spied the corner of this large-scale war, looking at the numb eyes of those refugees, Chu Xiaoxiao didn't think so.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, and the people who are ruined for no reason are actually just a chess piece in the hands of the superior who can be discarded at will.

Those who want to live in peace are forever in exile, and those who are in comfort always want to break this peace.

"300,000 ......" Chu Xiaoxiao savored this number, and then raised her eyes to look at Yao Ai, "The barbarian army of Dirong Country is brave and good at fighting, extremely brave, if we want to hold off these 300,000 people, we need at least 400,000 men." ”

Although Yao Ai said so, whether it was Chu Xiaoxiao or Yao Ai, they knew it very well in their hearts.

Di Rong National Iron Cavalry alone in the world, these 400,000 people can barely hold the Yonglin Pass and the Snow Pass, if you want to win, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.

Thinking of this, the two were silent for a while.

"Chu Xiaoxiao, you come with me. ”

After a while, Yao Wei got up, patted the dust on his body, and then waved his hand at Chu Xiaoxiao.

Chu Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled about what Yao Ai was looking for her, after all, she was just a small captain, and she was not worthy of Yao Ai's special attention.

But doubts in her heart were doubts, and at this time, Chu Xiaoxiao didn't ask much.

Yao Ai took Chu Xiaoxiao to the stable, and then took out a horse to Chu Xiaoxiao.

Seeing this scene, Chu Xiaoxiao couldn't help it, and couldn't help but say, "General Yao, where are we going?"

Hearing this, Yao Wei paused, and then immediately said: "Point Cangjiang." ”

"Diancang River?" Chu Xiaoxiao was even more puzzled, but she still followed Yao Ai on the horse, and the two of them went to the Diancang River together.

Diancang River is outside Yongzhou City, Yonglin Pass and Treadxue Pass within a big river, although not as dangerous as the Yunlan River in the south, but once Yonglin Pass and Treading Snow Pass are broken, Diancang River is a very favorable barrier.

When she arrived at the Diancang River, Chu Xiaoxiao knew what Yao Ai called her over for.

At this time, the Diancang River is calm, because of the cold climate in the northwest, although it has not yet entered the winter, but a thin layer of ice has appeared on the river surface, it is conceivable that if you wait until the winter is cold, the ice on the river surface can carry people.

If this is the case, once the Dirong barbarian army breaks through the Yonglin Pass and the Taxue Pass, and the border is flat, there will be no more cities that can resist the Dijon barbarian army.

In an instant, Chu Xiaoxiao's mind had a lot of thoughts.

She has a lot of ways to melt ice, but for the current northwest, it is not applicable.

The northwest is bitterly cold, and many people freeze to death, and you don't have to think about using cinders to melt ice. Moreover, the northwest is not yet coastal, and it is not so easy to eat salt, so you can't use salt to melt ice......

"Yonglin Pass and Treading Snow Pass...... You can't break it no matter what!" Yao Ai bent down and grabbed a stone, and then slammed it on the surface of the river.

Yao Ai's martial arts skills are not low, such a stone infused with internal force instantly smashed the river surface, and the cold river water emerged from the hole smashed by Yao Ai in the north, with a trace of cold breath to the bone.

Hearing Yao Ai's words, Chu Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment before she spoke: "Chu Xiaoxiao is willing to listen to the general's dispatch and swear to defend the city to the death." ”

Yao Aibin Gemi thought that Chu Xiaoxiao would answer him so seriously, but he didn't react for a while, and only said after a long time: "Haha...... Men should know the grace of the country, dying on the battlefield is a good end, and the main temperament of Huaiyang County can make the men in the world embarrassed. ”

Chu Xiaoxiao didn't have a smile on her face this time, but was deeply worried.

She could see that Yao Ai might not be so easy at this time.

Izumo Province has not been at war for ten years, and it has been comfortable for ten years, but Dijon Country is warlike by nature, and all people know how to fight, if it is the same force, Izumo Province will definitely not be the opponent of Dijon Country.

If the Dijon barbarian army is really allowed to enter the customs, Izumo Province is afraid that it will really be over.

Chu Xiaoxiao glanced at Yao Ai, and then said lightly: "If General Yao doesn't want to laugh, don't laugh, it looks scary now." ”

Hearing Chu Xiaoxiao's words, Yao Aifei did not restrain her smile, but laughed louder.

Chu Xiaoxiao felt a little overwhelmed, so she turned her head and asked, "What is the trouble for General Yao?"

As soon as the words fell, Yao Ai's expression stiffened on his face on the spot, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "Sure enough, there is nothing to hide from you." ”

Chu Xiaoxiao said, "Is General Yao going to confide the truth to me?"
