In Bai Feng's residence.
"Sir, are you really going to Western Liang?"
Deng Ai, who had just entered Bai Feng's residence, blinked and asked seriously.
Bai Feng nodded and said, "Western Liang is a potential threat.
"If Xiliang is not eliminated, there will be trouble in the future. Even if the Prime Minister treats Liu Bei and Sun Quan as the main crusade points, with Xiliang harassing Xuchang, they will not be peaceful."
"What's more, there are many families of soldiers in Xuchang. If they are lost, it will be a great loss to our army."
Hearing this, Deng Ai nodded, not fully understanding.
If it were someone else, Bai Feng would not have said so much, just like Diao Chan.
If he had not accidentally offended him, Bai Feng would not have told him his plan.
But Deng Ai was different.
If he was raised from a young age, it could be seen from his attitude toward Sima Yi that he was an extremely loyal and filial person.
From this point of view, if he cultivated Deng Ai into a talent, even if his loyalty to him was not as high as Li Yuanba and Qin Liangyu, it was at least 98%.
"Sir, can you take me with you in this battle?"
Deng Ai thought for a long time and finally mustered up the courage to ask.
Bai Feng shook her head noncommittally and rejected him.
Deng Ai was too young. Although participating in the battle would definitely increase his knowledge, it would also be a loss for him if there was an accident.
Although Bai Feng didn't say why, Deng Ai nodded tactfully and let out a long sigh.
"Sir, everyone knows that Western Liang is bitter and cold. Now that you are going to fight in Western Liang, you must protect yourself and return safely."
Looking at the mischievous Deng Ai, Bai Feng patted his little head and smiled.
"Don't worry, I have the confidence to win this battle."
"You, on the other hand, should take advantage of this time to read more books. Don't waste your talent."
Deng Ai cupped his hands and bowed.
"I will follow Mister's teachings. I will definitely study the art of war and serve Mister well in the future."
Looking at the mischievous Deng Ai, Bai Feng could not help but laugh.
…
Three days passed quickly.
"Elder Brother, the soldiers and generals of the three armies are already waiting outside the city. The Prime Minister is already at the gate, saying that he wants to send you off personally."
Looking at Bai Feng, who had just woken up and was quite tired because of the affairs in Jingzhou these days, Qin Liangyu said slowly.
"The prime minister is at the door?"
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and walked out of the mansion quickly with Qin Liangyu.
As expected, Cao Cao was waiting at his door with Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and the others.
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
Bai Feng cupped his hands and said.
As soon as Bai Feng walked out, he saw that Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and Qin Liangyu's expressions were somewhat unsightly.
His power was like the sun in the sky, and now that he was about to go to war, the Prime Minister had come personally to send him off.
No other general or strategist in the Cao Army had ever received such treatment.
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Mister, don't be so formal.
I originally wanted to take you out of the city and send you off to war.
"But Zhou Yu has already made his move, and the war in Jingzhou is about to break out. I still have some matters to attend to, so I brought my officials here to send you off."
Zhou Yu had sent his troops?
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes in surprise.
He had not heard anything from Zhou Yu for the past three days, and now he dared to send his troops?
"Prime Minister, in this one's view, this might be a good thing."
Bai Feng said with a smile.
"Oh? Why is it a good thing that the army is about to arrive? "
Cao Cao asked in confusion.
"It seems that Sun Quan must have sent people to put pressure on Zhou Yu. Otherwise, Zhou Yu would not have been so impatient.
"Since the relationship between the master and subject in Jiangdong is already so strained, why isn't this a good thing?
"Zhou Yu is in a hurry to attack, so he can't be meticulous. This way, Jingzhou can focus more on Liu Bei."
Upon hearing Bai Feng's words, Cao Cao immediately laughed.
"As expected of Mister. It is truly my fortune to have Mister!"
… …
After sending off Cao Cao, Bai Feng, Qin Liangyu, and Li Yuanba rode their horses out of the city.
The moment they left the city, Bai Feng saw an army of one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers waiting for him.
But not far from the soldiers, Bai Feng saw two familiar figures.
Diao Chan and Cao Jie!
Bai Feng was stunned.
Why would these two women come out, and in front of the entire army?
In ancient times, women would not easily go out to meet others, much less in the middle of a war.
These two were clearly waiting for him. Cao Jie seemed to be holding a piece of paper in her hand.
Meanwhile, the other generals looked at Bai Feng with envy in their eyes.
After all, these two women were not ordinary people.
Diao Chan was a beauty that could topple nations. Even the ambitious and ruthless Dong Zhuo and the peerless Lu Bu had fallen for her.
Cao Jie might be young, but it was clear that she was a beauty with the potential to topple nations.
Moreover, everyone knew how much the Prime Minister doted on Cao Jie.
With these two women sending him off, what could be more fortunate than this?
Bai Feng could only dismount and whisper to Qin Liangyu and Li Yuanba, "Take the horses.
"You two lead the horses over there first. Wait for me for a while."
When the two of them received the order, they dismounted from their horses and led Bai Feng's horse towards the army.
"Miss Diao Chan, Miss Cao Jie, are you here to send me off?"
Bai Feng walked in front of the two women and said calmly.
Unexpectedly, Diao Chan rolled her eyes at him.
"Stop, I'm not here to send you off. It's just that Miss insisted on coming. I'm afraid she'll be in danger."
"Why should I send you off? You're going to war, not to play. "
Bai Feng shrugged helplessly. She turned to Cao Jie and said,
"Miss Cao Jie, do you have any instructions for me?"
Seeing Bai Feng staring at him like that, Cao Jie blushed all the way to his ears. He picked up the rice paper in his hand and handed it to Bai Feng as he stammered,
"I don't have anything to give you. I can only wish you a safe return."
Bai Feng took the paper and was surprised.
The person on the paper was himself!
When did this girl draw it? The drawing was quite good. If she could color it, it would be no different from himself.
However, upon closer inspection, the brushwork was indeed a little immature.
After all, Bai Feng had reached the peak of perfection in the four arts. His taste was naturally very high.
Diao Chan saw Bai Feng frowning slightly after taking the painting. She immediately put her hands on her waist and said,
"Although this girl has learned painting, this is her first time drawing a portrait. It says' safe 'on it. Don't fail to appreciate her kindness."
Bai Feng carefully wrapped the painting and put it in his arms.
"Thank you, Miss. I will definitely return victorious."
With that, Bai Feng turned and left.
Cao Jie looked at Bai Feng's departing figure. Her red lips moved slightly, but her voice was extremely soft.
