"What did you say?"
Bai Feng looked at Xiahou Yuan with an extremely ugly expression.
Xiahou Yuan's face was also dark as he said in a low voice,
"According to reliable sources, that is indeed the case.
"Marshal, please calm down."
Bai Feng was not angry. Instead, he laughed coldly.
"Cao Ren led a total of eighty thousand soldiers! Eighty thousand soldiers! Even if they stretched out their necks for others to kill, it wouldn't be this bad!
"A fire burned half of the soldiers to death. Only forty thousand of the eighty thousand soldiers are left!
"Is Cao Ren a pig?"
Xiahou Yuan did not feel good when he heard this. Normally, he had a good relationship with Cao Ren.
But wasn't Bai Feng the same?
Cao Ren's actions this time were truly too shameful.
He was practically sending himself to death!
"I told him to stay put and wait for orders. He went to provoke Guan Yu!"
"It's good that he agreed. Not only did he not win, but he also lost nearly half of his soldiers! Why didn't Zhang Liao persuade him to stay with him? "
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and roared in a low voice.
Xiahou Yuan sighed helplessly.
Although Zhang Liao's military rank was almost the same as Cao Ren's, Cao Ren was Cao Cao's relative!
How could Zhang Liao persuade Cao Ren?
But he could only think this in his heart. He could not say it out loud.
"Marshal, what should we do now that things have come to this?"
Xiahou Yuan hurriedly changed the topic.
He had never seen Bai Feng angry before. Today, Bai Feng was furious. It was enough to see how much Cao Ren had gone overboard this time.
Bai Feng's expression gradually returned to calmness as she said softly,
He said in a low voice, "What should we do?
"Miaocai, send a messenger over. Tell Cao Ren to stay put with his soldiers. Without my orders, they are not to act rashly!
"Now, we can only wait and see what Liu Bei does. All we can do is be passive."
Bai Feng frowned, his expression extremely ugly.
However, his anger just now and his current helplessness were all an act for Xiahou Yuan.
This way, if Xiahou Yuan reported to Cao Cao, at least part of Cao Cao's wariness would be removed, and he would think that Xiahou Yuan would be emotional.
Now that she was about to shed all pretense of cordiality with Boss Cao, Bai Feng had to hold back everything.
At this moment, Cao Chun, who had been silent all this while, stood up and said in a low voice,
"Marshal," he said Cao Cao, "Cao Cao, Cao, Cao Cao," Cao Cao Cao ren, "
Everyone present immediately turned to look at Bai Feng.
....................
His actions now affected the entire battle.
................
Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes and murmured,
. "If I were Liu Bei or Zhuge Liang, I would send troops to attack Cao Ren without hesitation."
"Cao Ren has just lost a lot of soldiers. Although his military strength is higher than Jiangxia and Jiangling, his morale is extremely low."
"Attacking Cao Ren now is like beating a drowning dog. Cao Ren's army won't resist too much."
Everyone nodded when they heard this.
Bai Feng's analysis was very reasonable. It was very irrational to attack Jiangxia and Jiangling, which had just won a battle and stationed troops in their cities.
Cao Ren's army was the backup of these two cities. Now that they had suffered such a heavy setback by accident, it was the easiest to attack.
Morale was extremely important to an army.
If there was no morale, the momentum of the battle would be weaker.
Although Cao Ren had forty to fifty thousand soldiers at this time, their combat strength was no match for Jiangxia's army of a few thousand.
"In this case, how should we deal with it?"
"Should we go and help Zixiao?"
Cao Chun asked doubtfully.
"No."
Bai Feng rejected Cao Chun's suggestion without even thinking.
It wasn't that Bai Feng was narrow-minded and held a grudge against Cao Ren for disobeying orders.
It was that he couldn't do that now.
The battle was very tense now. Any rash action by either side could lead to the collapse of victory.
Bai Feng had the Black Armored Cavalry, the Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun, and the three Heavenly Generals, Li Cunxiao, Qin Liangyu, and Li Yuanba.
However, Bai Feng didn't intend to reveal all his trump cards now.
Boss Cao was still skeptical about these things. They weren't part of his forces.
Otherwise, Boss Cao wouldn't have let him attack Jingzhou so easily.
If he revealed his strength in the battle with Liu Bei, Boss Cao would definitely be on guard.
At this time, it would be beneficial for him to exhaust more of the Cao Army.
Bai Feng continued in a low voice.
"If we go out of the city to help Cao Ren, what should we do when the Liu Bei Army comes to take Jiangxia and Jiangling?"
"Don't forget that there are twenty thousand Liu Bei Army in Jiangling City."
"Also, we have Liu Bei's third brother, Zhang Fei. Who knows what Liu Bei is going to do."
"But the worst case scenario is that they will change their target to Cao Ren."
Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan, and the others hurriedly nodded.
Thinking about it, it was indeed so.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the tent.
"Report!"
"Reporting to the marshal! The Liu Bei Army is leading an estimated forty to fifty thousand soldiers to Jiangxia! "
The messenger gasped for breath.
"Who is leading the army?"
Cao Chun hurriedly stood up when he heard this and asked.
The messenger thought for a moment and shook his head.
"The marshal is an unknown general. I think his name is Wei Yan. The military advisor is Pang Tong."
Wei Yan?
Hearing this name, Bai Feng's eyes lit up.
Traitor Wei Yan?
Although he didn't have a good reputation, he was a fierce general.
Why did Liu Bei change his personality this time?
Bai Feng thought that Liu Bei would send a general like Huang Zhong to be the marshal.
Although Wei Yan's strength was extraordinary in the late Shu Han Dynasty, Wei Yan was now an unknown young general.
When would Liu Bei be willing to send a general who had never fought a war?
But when he heard that the military advisor was Pang Tong, Bai Feng understood.
If it wasn't Zhuge Liang, then it was possible.
Pang Tong and Wei Yan's personalities were very similar. Thinking about it, it should be Pang Tong's request.
"Why is the army heading to Jiangxia? Attacking Cao Ren is the best choice. "
Xiahou Yuan asked in disbelief.
Bai Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know why.
But it's definitely a good thing for us. As long as Cao Ren's army is safe, it won't be difficult for us to defend the city. "
"But with Zhuge Liang's personality, he won't do something like attacking Jiangxia."
Cao Chun waved his hand and laughed.
"Marshal, do you even need to say it? The Young Crouching Dragon and Phoenix are just people with undeserved reputation. How can they compare to you?"
"It's probably because they don't understand the situation."
Bai Feng shook his head.
"No, the two of them are very strong. Not to mention Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang will definitely attack Cao Ren."
"I would be surprised if Zhuge Liang is leading the army."
