"Meng Qi, since this battle report originally belonged to Western Liang, it can be considered as returning it to its rightful owner."
Bai Feng said with a smile.
Ma Chao and the others cursed in their hearts.
Returning it to us after reading it? Returning it to its rightful owner?
This was worse than a bandit!
Bai Feng didn't care about the expressions of the three people at all.
He continued, "Let's not talk about Liu Bei for now. I have something to tell you about General Ma Teng."
Ma Chao narrowed his eyes.
My father?
Is Bai Feng going to scold him again?!
Ma Chao knew that although Xiahou Dun was the one who challenged him, his words were obscure and difficult to understand. It didn't seem like something Xiahou Dun could come up with.
This was definitely Bai Feng's doing behind the scenes!
Ma Chao felt a sense of helplessness.
Now that he was a captive, Bai Feng was going to scold his father in front of him?
If that was really the case, he might as well commit suicide here.
How could a man be so depressed and live under someone else's command?!
Unexpectedly, Bai Feng said, "General Ma Teng is not a direct confrontation with us.
Meng Qi, why do you think General Ma Teng didn't confront our army head-on this time? "
Ma Chao was startled.
This Bai Feng actually didn't do the lewd things that he had in mind, but was seriously discussing official matters with him?
Now that he was a captive, it was right to get some information out of him.
Was this still the scheming Bai Feng?
However, what Bai Feng asked wasn't a secret. Since he was now in prison, he had to obey Bai Feng's orders. In order to escape from Cao Cao's camp, he could only endure for now.
Thinking of this, Ma Chao said,
"Father just fell for your trick in Xuchang. That's why he's so careful.
"Don't think that Western Liang's Jian 'er is afraid of you!"
Bai Feng waved his hand and said,
"Even if you don't say it, I know that you don't understand why General Ma Teng refused to fight.
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have led your army to attack twice in the middle of the night."
Ma Chao narrowed his eyes and said,
"What are you trying to say?"
Bai Feng sighed.
"I just wanted to tell you not to blame your father."
"Hmm?"
Ma Chao was dumbfounded.
What was Bai Feng trying to say? What did she mean by not blaming her father? Now that he was at odds with him, why was he advising him like he was lecturing him?
No matter how hard Ma Chao racked his brains, he could not figure out what Bai Feng was trying to do.
Not to mention Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai, and even Bai Feng's Zhang Liao and Zhang He didn't know what Bai Feng wanted to do.
"Marshal, what are you doing?"
Zhang Liao asked Zhang He in a low voice.
Zhang He shook his head in confusion.
Bai Feng continued.
"Your father, General Ma Teng, refused to fight because he was waiting for news from Liu Bei. Am I right?"
Seeing that Ma Chao was silent, Bai Feng didn't care and continued.
"Unfortunately, Xiliang fell for Liu Bei's scheme and was used as a tool!
"That Liu Bei never even thought about attacking Xuchang. His true goal was still Jingzhou!
"When you besieged Xuchang, did Liu Bei say that he wanted to capture Xuchang and give it to Xiliang so that Xiliang could have a place to live?
"That was not the case! Liu Bei knew that he couldn't capture Xuchang. Even if he could, he would find an excuse to retreat!
"His goal was to have the Prime Minister's army return to Xuchang. While Jingzhou was empty, he would use Liu Biao's son, Liu Qi, to occupy Jingzhou!
"Did Meng Qi ever think about this?"
Shock!
Ma Chao's heart was filled with shock!
Although he did not trust Bai Feng, what he said was not wrong at all!
His father had retreated because Liu Bei could not bear to kill the Xiliang soldiers.
But who would believe such a clumsy reason?
However, his father had already sent out his troops. Killing Liu Bei would only make Xiliang feel cold. Otherwise, why would he be willing to retreat?
When his father and uncle entered the city, they wanted to attack but were stopped by Liu Bei. What was his intention?
After hearing Bai Feng's explanation, Ma Chao suddenly understood.
Everything suddenly made sense.
Liu Bei never wanted to capture Xuchang. Since the beginning, he only wanted to use Xiliang to achieve his goal of occupying Jingzhou!
If Xuchang was captured, Liu Bei promised not to capture Xuchang and give it to the Xiliang army. What good would that do for Liu Bei?
Now, Liu Bei was homeless and had no place to settle down. He only had one city, Jiangxia.
But how long could this city last? Sooner or later, it would be conquered by Cao Cao's army!
Thinking of this, Ma Chao's heart was filled with anger.
Big-eared Liu, you are so scheming! How dare you scheme against Xiliang!
Bai Feng saw the change in Ma Chao's expression and smiled inwardly. However, his face showed some worry.
"Sigh, Meng Qi, to be honest, I really didn't want to attack Xiliang."
When Ma Chao heard this, he immediately looked at Bai Feng in confusion.
Bai Feng continued.
"I just gave orders to the Military Advisor in Xuchang. I plan to increase the number of troops to break the siege of Jingzhou."
"However, because Xiliang and Liu Bei joined forces to attack Xuchang, the Prime Minister was really worried and ordered me to lead the army to attack Xiliang."
"Jingzhou is impregnable. Even if Liu Bei and Zhou Yu join forces to attack, as long as my army arrives, the two of them will have no chance."
"Let me ask you, isn't guarding Jingzhou better than attacking a bitter and cold place like Xiliang?"
"My 150,000 soldiers are doing well in the Central Plains, but they are starving and freezing in Xiliang."
"Isn't it good for me to be in charge of Jingzhou and be able to eat and drink well every day? Isn't it good? "
When Ma Chao heard Bai Feng's words, he fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Bai Feng gave Zhang Liao a look.
Zhang Liao immediately understood and turned to the side, his eyes widening in anger.
"Bai Feng! The Prime Minister trusts you so much that he sent all the generals of our army to follow you to attack Xiliang. "
"And you actually dare to tell the enemy that you didn't want to come? That this is a chore?! "
"To think that we respectfully call you Marshal! You are not worthy of me, Zhang Wenyuan, following you! "
Saying this, Zhang Liao slammed the table and angrily left.
At this moment, Zhang He also turned to the side and shook his head.
"Bai Feng, Military Advisor Bai, Marshal Bai! You have greatly disappointed us! "
"Us soldiers are following you not only because of the Prime Minister's orders, but also because we believe in your loyalty to the Prime Minister!"
"You actually dare to say such words, and to a traitorous general!"
"I have nothing to say! I will definitely report this to the Prime Minister! I hope that Marshal will conduct himself with dignity! "
Saying this, Zhang He angrily left.
Bai Feng couldn't help but inwardly applaud the two of them.
Although he had planned all of this, the acting skills of these two had truly exceeded his expectations.
