But why did Zhao Yun want to leave?
It would be a lie to say that it was because he could not fight anymore and did not have the face to face his lord.
When his right arm was injured and powerless, it was only the last straw that crushed Zhao Yun.
How could Guan Xing and Zhang Bao not know how Zhao Yun was treated in the army?
In fact, the two of them were the perpetrators!
Zhao Yun was mentally tired.
If he could have rested properly when he was injured, he would not have ended up like this.
Now that Changsha had been taken, Zhao Yun's wish had been fulfilled, and he had made up his mind to leave.
However, when Zhao Yun left, a smile hung on the corners of his mouth.
At least before my right arm was crippled, I proved myself, proved that I, Zilong, was not disloyal!
…
While Changsha was being taken, at the same time in Xiliang.
Bai Feng and his men had already entered the hinterland of Xiliang, but their speed was surprisingly slow.
It was not that Bai Feng was not anxious, but that he could not be anxious!
Compared to rushing to attack, it was more important to find out the situation in front of them.
Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will win every battle. How could Bai Feng not know this?
The core of this battle was not to break through the enemy, but to attack their hearts!
Currently, Ma Teng's biggest weakness was Liu Bei.
Why did Ma Teng lend troops to Liu Bei?
Xiliang was not like Jiangdong, which had the Yangtze River as a natural barrier. It only had some mountains and steep ridges, and the terrain was more complicated than the central plains.
If the enemy could figure out the terrain, it would only be a matter of time before they took Xiliang.
Thus, Ma Teng was anxious and hoped that Liu Bei could take Jingzhou as soon as possible so that he could lead the entire Xiliang to Jingzhou.
Jingzhou was much easier to defend than Xiliang, and Ma Teng could not take it down alone.
However, Liu Bei was different. It might be difficult to take down other provinces, but Jingzhou was extremely simple.
With Liu Qi there, Jingzhou would definitely be in the bag!
This was Ma Teng's idea, and it was also what Bai Feng guessed.
In history, Cao Cao had used the strategy of sowing discord to take down Xiliang.
Now that history had changed, Cao Cao's strategy of sowing discord could not be repeated.
But he could change his target!
As long as he did something between Liu Bei and Ma Teng, Xi Liang would definitely fall!
Jingzhou was in the southernmost region, while Xiliang was in the northernmost region. In ancient times, communication technology was not as advanced as in modern times. It was easy to do something here.
Thinking of this, Bai Feng turned to look at the army.
Due to the cold weather, the soldiers who had lived in the warm regions of the Central Plains all year round were still not acclimatized to the climate, even though their uniforms had been added with cotton. They were already a little tired.
"General Xiahou, order the army to set up camp here and rest."
Now that they could no longer advance, the condition of the soldiers was extremely important in battle.
Xiahou Dun was just about to accept the order when he heard the sound of horse hooves.
"Reporting!"
Xiahou Dun asked.
"Did you find anything?"
The messenger hastily replied.
"Reporting to the general, we have found Ma Teng's hiding place. It is less than twenty li away from our army."
"What?"
Hearing this, Xiahou Dun was shocked. He turned to Bai Feng and said,
"He is actually so close to us?!"
"Marshal, I think that our army should retreat a distance to avoid being ambushed by the Xiliang Army!"
At this moment, Bai Feng had already confirmed that there was no Xiliang Army in the places he passed by. The Xiliang Army also did not know that Bai Feng's army was so close to them.
However, they would also send spies and would definitely know.
If the Xiliang Army surged forward now, it would be extremely disadvantageous for Bai Feng.
Xiahou Dun was right, but Bai Feng did not think so.
"The soldiers are already exhausted. Even if we retreat, it will affect our speed. Why don't we set up camp here?"
Bai Feng was unmoved and said indifferently.
Xiahou Dun was shocked.
"Marshal, you must not!"
However, Bai Feng dismounted and smiled faintly.
"General Xiahou, do you think Ma Teng will come even if he knows that our army is here?"
Xiahou Dun was stunned by Bai Feng's question. After a moment, he replied,
"Our army has been marching for a long time and is already exhausted. If Ma Teng finds out, he will definitely lead his army to attack."
Bai Feng shook his head and said,
"Ma Teng and Han Sui are extremely cautious. They will definitely not come."
"Currently, they are unable to have a direct confrontation with us. Even if our army is exhausted, by the time they find out, our army will have rested for a long time."
"If Ma Teng accepts the challenge, it will be suicide."
Hearing this, Xiahou Dun was enlightened.
Yes, we are not in Xuchang now. The Xiliang Army has close to 100,000 soldiers, but they have lent 30,000 to Liu Bei. Furthermore, after attacking the city, they are exhausted and their morale is not high.
I also have a few generals, a total of 150,000 elites.
I can't wait for Ma Teng to come out. How can he come out to die?
"But it is still dangerous. The Xiliang Army is marching very fast. I am afraid …"
Xiahou Dun cupped his hands and advised.
Bai Feng smiled.
"General, you have not slept for a long time. Go and rest first."
Xiahou Dun wanted to say something, but seeing how confident Bai Feng was, he had no choice but to give up.
Although he had not fought alongside Bai Feng before, Xiahou Dun knew how talented Bai Feng was.
Furthermore, Bai Feng had never been careless. Every step he took seemed to be within his grasp.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Dun did not say anything else. Moreover, he was indeed a little tired.
Bai Feng sat on the ground. Qin Liangyu walked over and asked in confusion,
"Brother, why are you so sure that Ma Teng's army will not dare to appear?"
Bai Feng rubbed his shoulders and said,
"Our army has been very high-profile during this journey. If you were Ma Teng, what would you think?"
Qin Liangyu pondered for a moment before replying,
"They must have made sufficient preparations. They cannot fight head-on."
After saying this, Bai Feng smiled faintly and looked at Qin Liangyu.
Qin Liangyu suddenly understood.
If even he thought so, how could Ma Teng be a fool?
At the same time, in the Xiliang Army camp.
"Father, Father!"
Ma Chao rushed into Ma Teng's tent and saw that Ma Teng was drinking with Han Sui.
"Father, you can't drink anymore!"
"We received a report from the frontline. Bai Feng has already brought his army over. They are resting less than twenty li away from our army!"
Ma Chao frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Oh? There's such a thing? "
Ma Teng sipped his wine and said.
Ma Chao was impatient. Seeing that his father was not in a hurry, he immediately walked forward and said anxiously,
"Father, please allow me to send three thousand elite cavalry. I will go and harass them. We cannot allow them to rest and reorganize their army!"
Han Sui, who had been silent all this while, heard this and said with a serious expression,
"Meng Qi, you must not fall into Bai Feng's trap!"
"Your father and I have fought with Bai Feng before. This person is very crafty. How can he expose his weakness so easily?"
"Since you have found his whereabouts, how can he not know that we are here?"
