Baili Huang's expression immediately turned to disappointment, "Only five thousand? Yuanxiu, the Beiyang army has five hundred thousand this time! What can five thousand troops do?"
Baili Xun also said, "Indeed, Uncle Mu, the five hundred thousand troops have surrounded the four cities in the Northern Land; five thousand are not enough to resist."
Mu Yuanxiu said, "The five thousand troops are for transporting grain, not to fight Beiyang. I received war reports and learned that the Northern Land is besieged, anticipating that there's not much grain left. With the New Year approaching and heavy snow, with nothing to eat or drink, the soldiers' morale would be unstable. So, I brought some grain to support the army."
Baili Huang breathed a sigh of relief, his face brightened with joy again, "So, the main army is coming later?"
"There is no main army."
Baili Huang, "..."
