What?!
Hearing this, not only Cao Hong, but the surrounding civil officials were in an uproar. They stood rooted to the ground in disbelief.
It was the Prime Minister's idea to let Lady Mi go?!
Why?
Cao Hong couldn't figure out what was going on.
"I heard that you wanted to chop Mr. Bai up with a knife? Is that true? "
Cao Hong didn't dare to hide the truth. He stammered, "Indeed.
"It's … it's true, but I thought Mr. Bai was a spy, so I was anxious …"
Cao Cao's expression darkened. He said in a low voice, "There's no need to say anymore.
Apologize to Mr. Bai now, then go to the army and receive a hundred lashes! "
Cao Hong sat on the ground like a deflated balloon. He didn't have his previous posture as he stared at Cao Cao.
But Cao Cao had already turned his back, so Cao Hong knew that he couldn't avoid it this time.
A hundred lashes didn't matter. His body was strong, and he'd be fine after lying down for three days.
But when so many people apologized to Bai Feng …
Cao Hong couldn't bring himself to do it.
Ever since he followed Cao Cao in the uprising, Cao Hong could be said to be a senior figure in the army. He had quite a bit of prestige in the army. To apologize to a young man who had just joined the army, he might as well kill himself.
The ancient people's apology wasn't as simple as saying sorry. To sincerely apologize to someone, one had to kneel down!
But Cao Cao's words were like the heavens to Cao Hong. He had misreported military intelligence, which was a serious crime. The Prime Minister was already giving him a way out.
After thinking about it, Cao Hong could only grit his teeth and turn to bow down to Bai Feng.
"General, please wait."
Before Cao Hong could kneel down, a hand lifted him up.
Cao Hong hurriedly raised his head and saw Bai Feng's face.
"Prime Minister, General Cao only misunderstood me. He really didn't know, so there's no need to apologize to me. Moreover, General Cao contributed a lot in this battle.
Prime Minister, on account of General Cao's hard work and hard work, I hope that Prime Minister will pardon him from this one hundred lashes. "
Cao Hong's expression darkened.
Vicious! It was too cruel!
On the surface, this guy seemed to be helping him, but in reality, he was making him look worse.
Even if there was no merit, there was still effort. Didn't this mean that other than running over to fetch the people, there was no merit at all?
However, Cao Hong couldn't say anything. He could only lower his head and remain silent.
"Forget it. Since Mr. Bai isn't going to pursue the matter, Zilian, you can return to the camp."
Cao Cao's original intention was to use this matter to boost Bai Feng's prestige in the military and win over Bai Feng's heart.
At this moment, in Cao Cao's eyes, Bai Feng was a treasure. If he left because of discord in the military and ended up in someone else's hands, it would be a nightmare for him.
Since Bai Feng had given him and Cao Cao a way out, Cao Cao had no choice but to play along.
Cao Hong responded and left with his tail between his legs.
"We've won this battle. Tonight, we'll have a celebratory feast. Everyone, go and prepare."
Cao Cao waved his hand and ordered the civil and military officials to leave. Then, he said,
"Mr. Bai, please wait."
"Yes, sir!"
After Bai Feng responded, he walked towards Cao Cao.
Of course, Bai Feng was extremely reluctant. Wouldn't it be better to go back and take a shower, earn some talent points, and learn some awesome skills? However, Boss Cao had given him so much face just now. He couldn't possibly say that he wanted to go back and take a shower in front of so many people, could he?
"Take a look."
After that, Cao Cao pointed at the map on the table and pointed in the southeast direction.
Bai Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
This place was Jiangdong. Cao Cao annexed Jingzhou. It seemed that he wanted to directly reach out to Sun Quan.
However …
Bai Feng frowned when he recalled the ending of Cao Cao's conquest of Jiangdong in history.
Jiangdong wasn't that easy to conquer.
Compared to Liu Bei's meager strength, Sun Quan's territory, military strength, and geographical location were countless times better.
Not to mention that Jiangdong was good at naval warfare, and not to mention that Jiangdong was fertile and full of talented people, just the natural moat of the Yangtze River alone was difficult for Cao Cao to conquer.
Most of the Cao Army were northerners. They weren't good at naval warfare. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that a good navy soldier could completely contain a hundred Cao Army soldiers.
Moreover, in recent years, the Cao Army had been continuously fighting and rarely resting. Some of the newly conquered territories were unstable. It was hard to say whether or not they would be stabbed in the back.
In addition, the soldiers were all tired.
In history, Cao Cao spent a lot of effort training his soldiers to fight naval warfare. He even used a mediocre person like Jiang Gan.
While Bai Feng was looking at the map and thinking, Cao Cao tapped the table lightly and said in a low voice,
"Mr Bai, are you thinking about the natural moat of the Yangtze River?"
Bai Feng nodded and said,
"Our army is good at land warfare. In my opinion, we don't have a good navy general. This war can't be rushed."
These words touched Cao Cao's heart, but he still said,
"Our army has Jiang Gan who is good at naval warfare. He can train soldiers. Don't worry."
Pretend!
Keep pretending!
How could Cao Cao not know how good Jiang Gan was? If it wasn't for the fact that there was no one else who could use him, why would he use him?
If Zhou Yu and Jiang Gan were switched, wouldn't it be easy to conquer Jiangdong?
Bai Feng smiled faintly and said, "General Cao, based on my understanding of Mr. Jiang, he is talented but not a great talent. Moreover, he is an old friend of Jiangdong's Zhou Yu. He can't be used."
Cao Cao laughed and said, "Mr Bai, you really have foresight. I have already investigated this matter. I invited you to discuss this matter because I was worried about this matter. I wonder if you have any ideas."
Bai Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes at Cao Cao.
He was just talking about how good Jiang Gan was, but his attitude changed too quickly.
Although Bai Feng did have the ability, he didn't plan to help Cao Cao conquer the world.
This Boss Cao wasn't a good person either. Although he was a little stronger than Liu Bei, it was hard to say whether he would get rid of the donkey after it had outlived its usefulness. If Bai Feng showed too much, he might be backstabbed.
This guy was called a traitor. It was hard to say whether he would do something like 'the good bow is cast away after the birds are gone, and the hound is cooked after the hares are gone.'
"Ding! The system has triggered a new mission: Obtain the position of Military Advisor in the Cao Camp! Reward: Reputation points x 10000, Skill points x1000! "
Good heavens!
The system was too much. Why would it give out a new mission at this time?
Wait a minute. Reputation points: 10000, skill points: 1000?
Bai Feng was immediately tempted.
Most of the things in the System Shop could be exchanged with reputation points. These 10,000 reputation points were too tempting!
However, the position of Military Advisor was the top position for a counselor in a camp. If he didn't make a great contribution, it would be hopeless.
The Battle of Red Cliff was an excellent springboard.
"Since the Prime Minister wants to conquer the world, I will definitely do my best to help!"
Bai Feng cupped his hands and said indifferently.
Cao Cao was overjoyed and slapped the table. "Good! I've been waiting for you to say that. Dian Wei, pass the order! I will immediately give the order to make Bai Feng the Assistant Censor! "
After that, Dian Wei approached him.
