Bai Feng was slightly taken aback.
Ma Yunlu continued.
"Mister, please hand over my father's murderer, Han Sui, to us."
"I must avenge my father! Mister, please fulfill my wish! "
Bai Feng smiled faintly when she heard that.
"Han Sui is already useless to me. Before Meng Qi goes back, I will arrange for you to bring him and his subordinates back."
"As for your surrendered soldiers, you can go back with them."
Ma Yunlu blinked in disbelief at Bai Feng's words.
"Really?!"
Bai Feng nodded noncommittally.
Even Ma Chao was shocked when he heard this!
Ma Chao only wanted to protect Western Liang and did not dare to take Han Sui back.
After all, Han Sui had already surrendered to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was his old friend and would not let him kill Han Sui so easily.
Not to mention the captured Western Liang Army.
But now, Bai Feng had actually agreed?
How would Ma Chao know that Han Sui did not surrender?
However, to Bai Feng, Han Sui was already useless. It was worth it to exchange him for Ma Yunlu.
As for the 20,000 Western Liang soldiers, Bai Feng did not want them anymore.
These Western Liang soldiers fought bravely in Western Liang, but they could not compare to the Ferocious Cavalry in the Central Plains.
Instead of keeping these people, it was better to let them go back early and strengthen Western Liang's military strength.
After all, Western Liang was at the border. Bai Feng's purpose was to let them resist the Qiang people.
Now that Western Liang had encountered such a huge change, it would be difficult to resist without military strength.
Moreover, these soldiers were Ma Chao's trusted subordinates. With these soldiers, it would help Ma Chao establish his prestige in Western Liang.
If he used them, they would be useless. Why keep them?
Bai Feng did not want to use Ma Chao as a hostage from the start. However, without a hostage, Cao Cao would definitely not agree.
At this moment, Ma Yunlu was the best candidate.
If Ma Chao was used as a hostage, Western Liang was already in chaos. Someone like Ma Dai would not be able to lead Western Liang.
He had spent so much effort not to attack Western Liang because he was waiting for this moment to happen.
Seeing this, Ma Chao didn't say anything. He immediately cupped his hands and said,
"Thank you, Mr Bai. Xiliang will never invade the Central Plains in the future. We will definitely guard the land of the Great Han Dynasty and share the burden of the Prime Minister!"
After saying that, Ma Chao looked at Ma Yunlu reluctantly, then cupped his hands and left.
"Yun Lu, follow the guards and find a tent to stay in. We will set off for the Central Plains in a few days."
Bai Feng waved his hand and said.
Ma Yunlu understood. At this time, her impression of Bai Feng had greatly improved. How could she not listen to Bai Feng's words?
After Ma Yunlu left, the generals immediately surrounded Bai Feng.
"Marshal, this is a loss to our army!"
"How can this Ma Yunlu compare to Ma Chao? Marshal, please reconsider. "
"Marshal, you can't do that."
"…"
Although all the generals knew that this matter was a foregone conclusion, they were still somewhat unwilling.
Bai Feng smiled faintly and said, "Let me ask you a question.
"Let me ask you a question. I've also asked General Xiahou the same question."
"If Ma Chao follows us back to Xuchang, who will guard Western Liang?"
Hearing this, all the generals fell silent.
Guard Western Liang? What good would that do?
What was so good about Western Liang? Was it comparable to Yizhou or Jizhou?
Guarding Western Liang was tantamount to making oneself suffer!
Immediately, all the generals understood what Bai Feng meant.
Ma Chao was indeed the best candidate to guard Western Liang!
Seeing that there were no more objections, Bai Feng waved his hand gently, "Disperse.
I still have something to deal with. "
Receiving the order, all the generals took their leave.
At this time, the general situation of Western Liang had been settled. Now, there was only one thing left.
That was how to rescue Cai Wenji and complete the side mission!
One had to know that although the Xiongnu were severely suppressed during the Three Kingdoms period, they were not weak.
Moreover, they had their own territory. Otherwise, they would not have been able to kidnap the daughter of the literary scholar Cai Yong.
However, at this time, there were still many things to deal with in Jingzhou. Cao Cao would definitely not let him stay for long, let alone lead the troops.
"Looks like I have to think of a reason."
Bai Feng shook his head.
This matter was not that easy to deal with.
The reward for the side mission was also very generous, but the main mission was not any worse. Bai Feng did not want to choose between the two.
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from outside the tent.
"Report! Marshal, the Prime Minister's trusted aide has arrived! "
The messenger gasped for breath.
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seemed that Jingzhou had fallen. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not have been so impatient to send a letter to him.
This letter was undoubtedly urging him to return.
Thinking of this, Bai Feng took the letter and began to carefully read it.
"Jingzhou has been completely taken by Liu Bei. Generals Cao Ren and Cao Chun have already returned to Xuchang.
"Our spies in Jiangdong have sent word that after Zhou Yu's death, Little Qiao mysteriously disappeared. Sun Shao suddenly fell ill and died.
"The Xiongnu are suspected of rebelling and require Mister to deal with them.
"After dealing with the Xiongnu, Mister is to immediately return to Xuchang. He has an important matter to discuss."
Bai Feng couldn't help but narrow his eyes at the first two lines.
It was not at all strange that Liu Bei had taken Jingzhou. In fact, it was within his expectations.
Before leaving, he had sent a letter to Cao Ren. He could resist Zhou Yu's army, but when Liu Bei's army arrived, he would do his best to minimize losses and abandon Jingzhou and return to Xuchang.
As for Sun Shao's death in Jiangdong, even a fool would know that it was Sun Quan's doing.
As the Emperor, Sun Quan would not allow anyone to affect his position.
Little Qiao's disappearance was most likely because she had come to the Central Plains to find her sister.
Now that Zhou Yu was dead, if Little Qiao stayed in Jiangdong, she would probably end up like her sister, Da Qiao. The only path she could take was to find her sister.
However, the following words made Bai Feng truly happy.
The Xiongnu were rebelling?
Boss Cao wanted him to deal with the Xiongnu?
The Xiongnu were like charcoal in snowy weather!
Bai Feng had originally been thinking of a reason to make Cao Cao agree to send troops. Now, it seemed that the Xiongnu rebelling was a good thing.
As for the important matter that he had to discuss, now that the northern side had been completely pacified, Boss Cao was definitely thinking about how to deal with Liu Bei in Jingzhou and Sun Quan in Jiangdong.
Zhou Yu's death would not affect the alliance between Sun Quan and Liu Bei.
When the time came, the alliance between the two sides would be rather troublesome.
Thinking of this, Bai Feng immediately shouted in a low voice.
"Inform the generals to pack up and prepare to return home!"
… …
"Mister, are you really going to do this?"
Xiahou Dun could not help but frown slightly as he looked at Bai Feng who was about to head in another direction.
Xiahou Yuan also hurriedly asked, "Why?
