"Sir, it seems like someone has been here."
Li Cunxiao crouched down and whispered to the Xiongnu soldier whose limbs had been cut off and whose blood had dried up.
Bai Feng nodded and glanced around. To his surprise, he saw a straw doll with a severed arm. Next to the straw doll was a large saber stained with blood.
Zhang Ning?!
This name immediately surfaced in Bai Feng's mind.
Zhang Ning had the Heaven Evasion technique to control straw dolls. Only she could control straw dolls!
Bai Feng turned to look at the charcoal corpse that was still burning.
Could these two have been Xiongnu soldiers struck by lightning?
Now, everything was explained.
Those thunderous rumbles just now had not been a sign of rain, but a summon from Zhang Ning's Heaven Evasion technique.
But this heaven-defying technique was bound to be extremely harmful to the body. Otherwise, Zhang Ning would have used it when she encountered him.
But what confused Bai Feng was why Zhang Ning had come to the border instead of staying in Western Liang?
But now was not the time to think about this.
Bai Feng stood up and said with a cold and sharp gaze.
"Li Cunxiao, Qin Liangyu, Li Yuanba, and Ma Yunlu, heed my order!"
"Immediately gather all the soldiers of our army and gather here after the villagers have been buried!"
"Yes, sir!"
The four obeyed and left.
Bai Feng turned to the family of three that had died tragically, and the rage in his heart could not be quelled.
Whether it was in the previous battles with Western Liang or Big-eared Liu, he had never seen such a tragic sight.
He had seen those Xiongnu soldiers just now.
For these miscellaneous soldiers to be so deranged, one could see how tyrannical the Xiongnu King was.
It seemed that there was no need for him to show any mercy. He would kill the Xiongnu as well!
Once all the soldiers were gathered, Bai Feng coldly said.
"Li Cunxiao, take three thousand soldiers and march north."
"Qin Liangyu, Li Yuanba, take four thousand soldiers and march west."
"Ma Yunlu and I will take three thousand soldiers and march east."
"Kill the Xiongnu if you see them! Nothing! Pardon! "
"In this battle, we must exterminate the Xiongnu race!"
"I vow to exterminate the Xiongnu race!"
"I vow to exterminate the Xiongnu race!"
"I vow to exterminate the Xiongnu race!"
Although there were only ten thousand men and horses, these soldiers had all seen the tragic deaths of the villagers with their own eyes.
Not only Bai Feng, but the ten thousand elite cavalrymen were also filled with righteous indignation.
It was completely different from the battle between Liu Bei and Sun Quan. This time, he wasn't dealing with humans.
Bai Feng thought about it carefully.
The border was divided into three directions where the Xiongnu could appear.
Since the Xiongnu were here, the north was naturally the most likely place for the Xiongnu base camp.
Li Cunxiao had no problem leading three thousand men straight into the Xiongnu camp.
In the east and the west, where he had just arrived, there were also likely to be Xiongnu fleeing in all directions. When the time came, he would kill them all and head north together.
In this battle, they had to kill the Xiongnu!
Originally, Bai Feng had planned to use a strategy to make the Xiongnu surrender like what he had done to Xiliang and rescue Cai Wenji to complete the mission.
But after seeing such a tragic scene, Bai Feng immediately gave up on this idea.
It was really hard to imagine what kind of treatment Cai Wenji, who was a Han, had received after being kidnapped by the Xiongnu.
On the other hand, Ma Yunlu looked at the pondering Bai Feng, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.
Liu Bei and Sun Quan could be considered enemies.
But the Xiongnu did not count.
Such a tyrannical act deserved to be punished by everyone!
… …
At this moment, in Xuchang City.
"Young Miss, the Xiliang army is back!"
Just as Cao Jie was feeling depressed, Diao Chan suddenly walked in and said with joy.
A hint of joy flashed in Cao Jie's originally gloomy eyes.
"Quick, Big Sister Diao Chan, bring me there."
… …
"Young Miss, why are you here?"
Xiahou Dun, who was walking at the front, suddenly saw two girls in front of him. His eyes widened in disbelief.
Cao Jie did not answer Xiahou Dun. Instead, he blinked and looked behind him.
"Where's Mr. Bai?"
Diao Chan frowned slightly. There was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.
Xiahou Dun finally reacted. After a moment of hesitation, he said,
"I dare not hide it from Young Miss. The Prime Minister ordered Mr. Bai to conquer the Xiongnu in this great victory in Xiliang.
"Originally, we wanted to go with Mr. Bai. Who knew that Mr. Bai would only bring ten thousand men? He only brought Young Miss Qin Liangyu and General Li Yuanba with him."
"How could it be …"
Diao Chan quickly took two steps back.
Conquering the Xiongnu!
Diao Chan was well aware of how powerful the Xiongnu were.
Those Xiongnu killed without batting an eyelid and were extremely tyrannical.
Bai Feng only brought ten thousand men to conquer the Xiongnu?!
No matter how small the Xiongnu were, they had an army of at least fifty to sixty thousand men!
Previously, the Prime Minister had sent an army of more than five hundred thousand men to suppress a mere hundred thousand Xiongnu!
This time, Bai Feng was most likely doomed!
Before Diao Chan could say anything, Cao Jie, who was by her side, hurriedly ran towards the back.
"Young Miss!"
Diao Chan quickly chased after him.
Meanwhile, Xiahou Dun and the others exchanged glances, their expressions ugly.
"This …"
Xiahou Yuan wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words.
Cao Hong shrunk his neck and said,
"For now, we should return to the camp and follow the Prime Minister's arrangements."
"I feel that Mr. Bai has underestimated the Xiongnu. The Prime Minister might send us to reinforce them."
Xiahou Dun nodded.
"That's all we can do for now."
… …
In Cao Cao's study …
At this moment, Cao Cao was writing, but there was a word that he could not write.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, Young Miss is …"
A guard's voice came from outside, but before he could finish, the door to Cao Cao's study was opened.
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes at the visitor.
It was Cao Jie!
At this moment, Cao Jie looked at Cao Cao with reddened eyes.
"Jie`er, did someone bully you?"
Seeing this, Cao Cao quickly put down the brush in his hand and walked towards Cao Jie.
In Cao Cao's eyes, Cao Jie had always been an obedient girl. He had never seen her so rash as to barge in.
It seemed that something big must have happened to cause Cao Jie to act this way.
Cao Jie burst into tears, unable to say a word.
At this moment, Diao Chan arrived.
Cao Cao quickly narrowed his eyes and said,
"Diao Chan, what happened?"
When Diao Chan saw that Cao Jie was weeping, she quickly bowed and said,
"Prime Minister, Young Miss … saw that the Western Liang army had returned, but she did not see Mr. Bai. That's why she is like this."
Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, then his eyes were filled with love.
"Jie`er, Mr. Bai is saving the people at the border. I did not want Mr. Bai to go, but only Mr. Bai can lead the victorious Western Liang army."
Cao Jie immediately opened her mouth and said softly,
"Father, the Xiongnu army is not like the Western Liang army. They are all demons who kill without batting an eye!"
"If you let Mr. Bai go with only ten thousand soldiers, wouldn't that be suicide?"
