The next morning.
In Cao Cao's accounting office.
"Prime Minister, how are you feeling today?"
Bai Feng cupped his hands and asked.
Cao Cao laughed and said,
"Mr Bai's medical skills are superb. I feel refreshed and not uncomfortable at all. Come, let's drink to our heart's content today."
Bai Feng also smiled faintly, but did not say anything else.
Cao Cao definitely didn't come to find him just to exchange pleasantries.
The System's mission was still incomplete.
"Cao Aman, Cao Aman, this old bastard is really scheming."
Bai Feng cursed in her heart, but she still wore a smile on her face.
"Sir, there's something I don't understand. I hope you can enlighten me."
Cao Cao smiled faintly and said.
Just as expected.
Bai Feng sneered in his heart and cupped his hands.
"Prime Minister, please speak your mind. I'll tell you everything I know."
Cao Cao retracted his smile and said in a low voice, "At this moment, Liu Bei is leading hundreds of thousands of commoners on the march. This march will definitely be very slow. How about I dispatch an army to kill Liu Bei on the spot?"
Bai Feng didn't answer and just laughed.
Cao Cao's face was filled with doubt as he asked, "This Liu Bei has always been a thorn in my side, a thorn in my flesh. With such a great opportunity, I should cut the weeds and eliminate the roots to prevent future troubles.
Bai Feng smiled and said,
"Prime Minister, you already have an answer in your heart. Even if I want to say it, I'll just say what's in your heart."
Cao Cao's expression didn't change. "I really don't understand what you mean."
Bai Feng continued.
"Liu Bei escaped with hundreds of thousands of civilians in Xinye. After the Battle of Xinye ended, the battle report had already reached the Prime Minister's hands. If the Prime Minister insisted on pursuing them, why did the Prime Minister not give the order to pursue them?"
"It's because of the people's hearts."
"That Liu Bei fled with the commoners. That symbolizes the will of the people. If he went to attack, the commoners would be unarmed and would definitely suffer losses. At that time, wouldn't the world's famous officials sneer at him?"
Cao Cao continued to smile. Obviously, Bai Feng had hit the nail on the head.
"Prime Minister, you have your own answer. I'm just repeating it."
Bai Feng cupped his hands again.
Boss Cao, I don't care if you can tell or not. I've already given you enough face. If you still don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do.
"Sir, if I don't chase after him, wouldn't I have lost such a great opportunity for Liu Bei to escape?"
Cao Cao continued, "I know Liu Bei very well. If we give him a chance to breathe, he will definitely become a disaster in the future."
Bai Feng waved his hand slightly. "Chase, we have to chase after them!"
Cao Cao was truly confused this time. He had seen Bai Feng's talent, so why was he speaking so incoherently now?
Seeing Cao Cao's confusion, Bai Feng continued, "But we don't have to chase after Liu Bei. Instead, we have to chase after the hundreds of thousands of commoners.
"Since ancient times, the one who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Even now, the commoners might think that Liu Bei is doing this for their own good and are afraid that the Prime Minister will massacre the entire city.
"However, the Prime Minister only needs to do one thing to win back the hearts of the people!"
"Oh? What is Sir's opinion? "
Cao Cao couldn't help but be intrigued by Bai Feng's words.
"The Prime Minister is still the Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty. Liu Bei's actions are just to smear the Prime Minister's reputation. When the time comes, the Prime Minister only needs to repair the destroyed Xinye City and pacify the people.
"Even if the commoners only think that Liu Bei is ungrateful, how can the world's famous officials not be grateful when they see this?"
Bai Feng took a sip of wine and said softly.
"Forget it … forget it … the hearts of the people are more important!"
Cao Cao let out a long sigh.
Bai Feng raised his eyebrows. It was clear that Cao Cao was extremely unwilling, but he really couldn't break Liu Bei's sword of benevolence and righteousness.
It seemed that his previous answer was only a solution to Cao Cao's desperate situation, but he wasn't very satisfied that he couldn't get rid of the thorn in his side, Liu Bei.
"Prime Minister, don't worry. If we want to win back the hearts of the people, that Liu Bei can't be left alive either. However, killing Liu Bei isn't an easy task right now."
Bai Feng sneered.
Cao Cao didn't understand and asked, "Sir, what do you mean?"
Bai Feng sneered.
"There's an ancient saying that goes, 'When you kill someone, you have to destroy their heart!'"
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Cao Cao couldn't help but straighten up. "I'd like to hear the details."
Bai Feng took a sip of wine and said in a low voice,
"That Liu Bei's mouth is full of hypocrisy. The Prime Minister has sent troops to pursue Liu Bei. Although Liu Bei's Army will certainly fight to the death, remember not to engage in a fierce battle with Liu Bei's Army."
"This plan is not perfect. If you trust me, Prime Minister, you can give me a team. If we succeed, Liu Bei's reputation will be ruined."
Hearing this, Cao Cao burst into laughter.
"Sir, you're proficient in both the pen and the sword. Since you need to go to the battlefield, I don't have a better candidate. I'll leave it to you."
"Dian Wei!"
Hardly had Cao Cao's voice faded away when Dian Wei suddenly appeared in front of Cao Cao and knelt down on one knee.
"Give my personal guards a thousand men and let them follow Mr. Bai's orders."
"Yes, sir!"
Receiving the order, Dian Wei immediately began to make arrangements.
"Sir, my personal guards are all elite troops. They will definitely be able to lend you a helping hand. Sir, you can give it your all."
Cao Cao smiled and said.
Nominally, he was giving Bai Feng the elites, but in fact, he was looking for someone to keep an eye on Bai Feng.
If this Bai Feng was Liu Bei's spy and was trying to help Liu Bei get away with it, the thousand men could kill Bai Feng at any time.
Although this Bai Feng was indeed good enough to suppress Dian Wei's strength, it would be easy for him to assassinate one person with a thousand men around him day and night.
Thinking about this, Cao Cao couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
"Thank you for your kindness, Prime Minister. I'll set off right away."
Bai Feng wasn't surprised. She left the tent after saying that.
"Mr. Bai, how do you usually practice martial arts? Why is your brain so good and your strength so great?"
However, as soon as he left the tent, Bai Feng was stopped by Dian Wei, who asked him a series of questions.
Bai Feng was lost for words.
He had just gotten rid of Cao Ren, his fanboy. Why was there another one?
Cao Ren was a smart man anyway, but Dian Wei was different.
Bai Feng wondered if this guy's brain was full of muscles and knew nothing except fighting and martial arts.
Seeing that Dian Wei wouldn't let him go, Bai Feng smiled and said, "It's very simple.
"It's very simple. You just have to do 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 squats, and 10 kilometers of running every day."
Dian Wei was stunned after hearing that. "That simple?"
Bai Feng patted Dian Wei's shoulder and said solemnly,
"The most important thing is not how to exercise, but how to persevere. General Dian, you're very talented. If you persevere, you'll definitely surpass me in less than a year."
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Dian Wei nodded hard and cupped his hands. "I'll remember what you said, Sir!"
Bai Feng nodded solemnly and slipped away.
