Along the way, Li Shuyi pondered for a while, then said,
"Mi Zhu said that Liu Bei isn't willing to attack Le 'an Ferry with great fanfare. Is it because he's afraid that once he sends out his main forces, his forces in Xuzhou City will be too weak and Tao Qian will take advantage of the situation?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "What you said makes sense, but that's not the main reason. The Three Kingdoms Plane advocates trust. Before Liu Bei shows any intention of taking over Xuzhou, Tao Qian won't attack without reason. After all, Liu Bei has rendered meritorious service in saving Xuzhou. "
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said, "Attacking Le 'an and cutting off the Yellow Turban Army's path of retreat would give Liu Bei another reason to stay in Xuzhou. He'd definitely be happy to see this happen, but this will also allow the Yellow Turban Bandits to roam Xuzhou and harm the people. If Liu Bei sends out Guan Zhang and other generals to attack Le 'an with great fanfare, wouldn't it be too obvious that he's raising bandits for his own sake? It wouldn't be beneficial for him to take over Xuzhou in the future. "
Li Shuyi understood. After thinking it over, he smiled. "When the Yellow Turban Bandits start to harm the people of Xuzhou, Tao Qian's army probably won't be able to deal with them. In the end, Liu Bei's army will have to come out and suppress the bandits to win the hearts of the people."
"That's completely correct." Bai Xiaowen nodded. He thought to himself that Li Shuyi had grown quite a bit during his many adventures. Not only had his strength increased, but his vision and thinking had also improved.
When he saw Liu Bei again, all of the generals were present.
Bai Xiaowen explained his plan to attack Le 'an Harbor.
Of course, out of consideration for Liu Bei's face, Bai Xiaowen didn't give the reason of raising bandits for his own sake. Instead, he gave the reason of "cutting off the bandits' path of retreat and preventing them from attacking other provinces and counties." As for whether or not this would harm Xuzhou, Liu Bei's subordinates tacitly agreed not to mention it.
Just as Mi Zhu had guessed, Liu Bei said that he needed to rest and reorganize after the battle, so he wasn't willing to send out generals to attack Le 'an. This was to be expected. If Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, or Zhao Yun had gone with him, the difficulty of the mission would have been lowered to B rank. How could there still be an S rank evaluation?
In the end, Liu Bei sent Deputy General Zhang Chun to lead 300 elite troops to assist Bai Xiaowen in the surprise attack. Liu Bei held Bai Xiaowen's hand and earnestly warned him, "You must be very careful when you go there. You must not leak any information to avoid arousing the Yellow Turban Thieves' vigilance."
Bai Xiaowen understood and said, "Don't worry, my lord. General Zhang Chun and I will order the soldiers under our command to disguise themselves. We won't raise our banners and will march in the name of Xuzhou's heroes. As for Xuzhou City, please also issue an order to keep it a secret, lest the news be leaked. "
Li Shuyi could also tell that the two were speaking in riddles. He despised Big Ear Liu's act of pretending to be a prostitute and pretending to be chaste.
After the meeting, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi ran into Zhao Yun when they were rushing to the military camp.
Zhao Yun's figure was still straight and handsome. He slightly cupped his hands in greeting.
"General Zhao …" Bai Xiaowen also cupped his hands in greeting.
Zhao Yun smiled warmly. "Your surprise attack on Henan is like pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth. It's very dangerous. Without my lord's orders, I can't accompany you. You must be very careful. "
Li Shuyi saluted and said softly, "Thank you for your concern, General Zhao."
Zhao Yun shook his head and said to Li Shuyi, "Give me your hand."
Li Shuyi extended his right hand, somewhat puzzled. Zhao Yun also extended his hand, which was covered by a silver gauntlet, and grasped Li Shuyi's hand tightly.
"If Ah Wei was still here, she would probably be about your age …"
Zhao Yun softly muttered, a trace of disappointment flashing across his face. Then, he smiled warmly and said, "Take care."
Bai Xiaowen and Zhang Chun stared blankly at Zhao Yun's departing figure for a while. Bai Xiaowen said, "Did you hear what Zhao Yun muttered just now?"
Li Shuyi came back to his senses and nodded. "I heard it. Who's Ah Wei? "
Bai Xiaowen recalled the information and shook his head. "There's no such person in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and there's no such person in the official history. I do remember that in a game of the Three Kingdoms, there was a fictional female general named 'Zhao Wei'. She was set as Zhao Yun's younger sister … "
"It seems that there's also a Zhao Wei in the Three Kingdoms. I just don't know if she's lost or dead. Speaking of which, to a certain extent, Zhao Yun treats you as his younger sister. "Bai Xiaowen said with a smile." He especially shook your hand just now. There should be some deeper meaning behind it, right? "
Li Shuyi raised his right hand and said, "When Zhao Yun shook my hand just now, he left a mark on me."
[Zhao Yun's Mark: This is the unique mark of Lord-class general Zhao Yun. Once activated, you can temporarily use part of Zhao Yun's strength and combat skills (limited by your attributes). Lasts for 30 seconds and disappears after use.]
"This is a one-time buff. It's similar to being possessed by a god," Bai Xiaowen said. "Zhao Yun is very generous. He's afraid that we'll die when we attack Lenan, so he gave you this trump card to save your life."
Li Shuyi sighed. "Zhao Yun is a perfect brother. It would be great if I had a brother like him in the real world. Unfortunately, we're not from the same world. "
It was obvious that Li Shuyi respected and admired Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun's Hidden Charm attribute was probably maxed out.
"It might be hard to have a brother like Zhao Yun." Bai Xiaowen smiled. "Don't think too much. Find Zhang Chun and get the army ready to depart as soon as possible. We have to take a shortcut and travel day and night. We have to destroy Lenan before the main forces of the Yellow Turban Army head north. "
…
Lenan Ferry.
Behind the mountain ridge, a small group of people was lying in wait.
"General Bai, I just investigated. There are probably more than a thousand Yellow Scarf Bandits at Le 'an Ferry, and each of them has the support of the bandit doctor's demonic arts. With just our three hundred soldiers, it will be very difficult to deal with them," Zhang Chun said in a low voice.
Zhang Chun suffered a great loss when they attacked the Southeast Vice Camp. He was still afraid of the Yellow Turban Army's Fanatic Water and Fire Demon's Prayer buffs.
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "We're going to use the Decapitation Strategy anyway. We're going to pick the elite soldiers. We'll form the Arrow Formation and attack the Yellow Turban Army's altar. As long as we kill the Great Doctor, the bandits will collapse. "
To be honest, Bai Xiaowen's heart skipped a beat when he saw the Yellow Turban Army's buffs. He quickly realized that the biggest problem of this S-rank mission was the enemy's Great Doctor.
A Level 3 leader was only a Deputy Medic. What about the Great Doctor? He would have to be at least a Level 5 leader.
If there was only a Level 5 leader, there would be nothing to be afraid of. However, the Great Doctor of the Yellow Turban Army had a prominent position. He would definitely have a group of elite guards and one or two Level 3 leaders as his adjutants. It wouldn't be that easy to launch a surprise attack.
If the Decapitation Strategy failed, the thousand or so Yellow Turban Army soldiers would easily drown Bai Xiaowen's group.
