Bai Feng nodded noncommittally and said, "You should go back first.
"You should return first. Now that Liu Bei has taken Jingzhou, he will definitely have an impact on our army."
"The Xiongnu are nothing to fear. After you return, guard the cities around Jingzhou as quickly as possible. Do not give Liu Bei a chance to attack."
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Cao Hong swallowed.
The Xiongnu are nothing to fear?
The Xiongnu were naturally warlike. They had once invaded during the Han Dynasty's civil war. If Prime Minister Cao had not suppressed them back to their homeland, they would have probably conquered the Central Plains.
The Xiongnu were extremely few in number. The Central Plains people could be said to be dozens of times more numerous than them. Bai Feng actually said that such a powerful race was nothing to fear?
But when he saw Li Cunxiao, Li Yuanba, and Qin Liangyu standing beside Bai Feng, Cao Hong did not say anything else.
Cao Hong was completely convinced by the strength of these three.
Especially Li Cunxiao, who had broken Ma Chao's weapon with a single blow.
Everyone knew that if Bai Feng had not ordered them not to kill Ma Chao, Li Cunxiao's blow would have taken Ma Chao's life!
And Ma Chao's strength was enough to intimidate ninety percent of the generals in the camp.
From this, one could see just how terrifying Li Cunxiao's strength was.
"Sir is righteous. We will definitely guard the city and await Sir's victorious return!"
Xiahou Dun immediately cupped his hands and said.
After the Battle of Xiliang, the soldiers that Bai Feng had brought with him were completely convinced by Bai Feng.
Xiliang was such a difficult place to conquer, but Bai Feng had managed to recruit them without expending a single soldier!
Back then, both the Han Dynasty and the Prime Minister had wanted to conquer Xiliang.
But the people of Xiliang were brave and skilled in battle. How could they be defeated so easily?
The attack on Xuchang was enough to see how ambitious Xiliang was.
To be able to recruit such a race and convince their leader.
Just how terrifying were Bai Feng's methods?!
Bai Feng waved his hand and watched the generals leave.
In fact, Bai Feng really wanted to return to Xuchang.
Let's not talk about Cao Jie, who made Bai Feng fall in love with him. He would marry her after he went back.
The Central Plains was so much better than the borders of Western Liang!
In Western Liang, the wind was strong and the ground was frozen. It was not a place for people to stay.
Even though Bai Feng's physique was far superior to that of ordinary people, he was still unable to adapt to such an environment.
But there was no other way.
Fifty thousand skill points was too tempting!
"Sir, please take me with you!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the side, interrupting Bai Feng's thoughts.
Bai Feng looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Ma Yunlu!
"Why are you following me instead of returning to Xuchang?"
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and asked doubtfully.
Ma Yunlu bowed and said:
"Knowing that Sir is going to suppress the Xiongnu, Yun Lu is willing to help."
"Although Yun Lu is a woman, Yun Lu doesn't lose to a man when fighting on horseback!"
"Moreover, Sir doesn't know much about the northern lands. Yun Lu grew up here and can find the way with my eyes closed."
Bai Feng was taken aback, but he couldn't help but smile.
"I only have ten thousand soldiers. This trip to the Xiongnu is dangerous. Why do you want to go?"
Hearing this, Ma Yunlu bit his lips and said through gritted teeth, "That's right.
"Those Xiongnu have invaded my Western Liang and killed my Western Liang's elderly and children. I must repay this humiliation!"
"Although Sir only has ten thousand soldiers, I believe that Sir will be able to utterly defeat the Xiongnu."
"I hope that Sir can fulfill my wish!"
Bai Feng was rather surprised.
Ma Yunlu was currently a hostage in his hands. Even so, he did not fear death and wanted to take revenge for his tribesmen.
It was no wonder that he had received Zhao Yun's approval in history. Such a straightforward way of avenging a debt of gratitude was admirable.
"Okay."
Bai Feng nodded and narrowed his eyes.
"But I have to say this first. As a hostage of my army, you must not be reckless if you encounter danger."
Although he had agreed to Ma Yunlu's request, Bai Feng knew that the Xiongnu were extremely skilled in battle.
If Ma Yunlu were to die in a moment of carelessness, Ma Chao would assuredly place the blame on him.
Although he was not afraid of Ma Chao, it would disrupt the plan that he had spent ten-some days devising.
Ma Yunlu was delighted to hear this. He hurriedly nodded and urged his horse to follow closely behind Bai Feng.
Bai Feng raised his head and looked to the north.
The wind was howling.
Bai Feng's expression turned grave.
According to historical records, after being suppressed by Cao Cao, the Xiongnu had split into the Southern Xiongnu and Northern Xiongnu.
The Northern Xiongnu had been beaten back again and again and had no choice but to flee to Europe. The Southern Xiongnu had managed to hold onto a small piece of land and survive in the desolate lands of Western Liang.
It was the Southern Xiongnu who had kidnapped Cai Wenji.
Back then, when Cao Cao learned that Cai Wenji was in the hands of the Xiongnu, he did not send his troops. Instead, he spent a large sum of money to ransom Cai Wenji.
At the time, Cao Cao had just unified the north and was extremely powerful. Even Cao Cao had to be wary of him. This was enough to see the strength of the Xiongnu.
"Sir, in order to avoid being wiped out by the Han army, the Xiongnu frequently change camps. They do not have a fixed residence and will move every once in a while.
"If we head north, it's very likely that we won't encounter the Xiongnu."
While Bai Feng was thinking, Ma Yunlu gravely pointed at the map and spoke to Bai Feng.
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes.
According to Boss Cao, the Xiongnu were currently causing trouble, which meant that they were extremely close to the Han territory. There was no need for him to head north and search around the Han territory to find the Xiongnu.
With this thought, Bai Feng calmly asked.
"Yunlu, what are the characteristics of the Xiongnu in battle?"
After a few moments of thought, Ma Yunlu replied.
"The Xiongnu are extremely proficient in horseback archery. According to Father, when our Xiliang army clashed with them, a single Xiongnu horseman was able to chase after three of our soldiers.
"They are extremely martial and even take pride in dying in battle. They are extremely difficult to deal with.
"But without their horses, their fighting strength will be greatly reduced. Infantry are extremely weak."
Hearing this, Bai Feng couldn't help but change his opinion of this woman.
Ma Yunlu was young, but he had a good eye for strategy.
According to what Bai Feng knew, when the Xiongnu invaded Xiliang, Ma Yunlu was not even ten years old. In other words, Ma Yunlu didn't even have the strength to fight.
To be able to analyze the Xiongnu based on Ma Teng's words …
This Ma Yunlu was truly a talented general!
Ma Yunlu saw that Bai Feng was staring at him and couldn't help but ask.
"Sir, look at the map."
Bai Feng finally realized that he had lost his composure. He put away the map and turned to Li Cunxiao.
"Cunxiao, how confident are you in dealing with such an enemy?"
Li Cunxiao's expression did not change as he softly replied.
"If Sir trusts me, just take one thousand elite soldiers and I will be able to crush the Xiongnu King's throne!"
… …
At the same time, by the river in Jingzhou …
