Even though Bai Feng felt a great deal of regret and reluctance.
This was a step that had to be taken in the end.
He and Cao Chun were destined to be enemies.
When he stood alone and faced off against Cao Cao, he would be an enemy.
When the time came, they would still have to meet on the battlefield.
Rather than that, he might as well give him a quick death.
Zhao Yun did not hesitate. The Silver Dragon Gall Spear in his hand stabbed into Cao Chun's heart.
"General Ziyi, I'll have to trouble you with one thing."
"I'll have to trouble you to help General Cao Chun find a good place to bury him."
Bai Feng sighed softly.
This was the last thing he could do for Cao Chun.
Although Tai Shici did not quite understand, he had seen Cao Chun talking and laughing with Bai Feng during the ambush. He roughly understood what was going on.
Sometimes, this kind of choice was the most painful.
"Okay, I'll definitely find a good place to bury General Cao."
Tai Shici said resolutely.
Although he was sad, he still had to carry out the plan.
Bai Feng turned to Zhao Yun and said:
"Zilong, when you return, choose two thousand Shanyue soldiers and give them the equipment of the Ferocious Cavalry."
"In this period of time, you have to lead them and continue to train them at all times."
In truth, Bai Feng had not planned to kill all two thousand Ferocious Cavalry. Instead, he wanted to find a way to take them for himself.
Unfortunately, these Ferocious Cavalry were all suicide soldiers that Cao Cao had trained from a young age. There was no way he could do that.
Just like Cao Chun, they would never betray Cao Cao.
Helpless, Bai Feng could only carry out this plan.
However, although these Shanyue soldiers were brave and fierce, they were still far from being comparable to the Ferocious Cavalry.
They had experienced too few battles, and none of them had been on a large scale.
Moreover, the barbaric ideology had already penetrated deep into their bones, and it would take a long time for them to adjust.
If they could directly bring the Ferocious Cavalry over, Bai Feng would definitely not kill them.
When Zhao Yun and Tai Shici were about to leave, Bai Feng rode on the Snow-Treading Ebony Centipede and turned around to leave.
"Sir, aren't you coming with us?"
Seeing this, Zhao Yun immediately exclaimed in shock.
Bai Feng nodded slightly.
"Right now, Jingzhou has yet to be conquered. I still need to borrow Cao Cao's hand to eliminate the other feudal lords."
"The current Sun Liu Army is not something we can deal with with with less than ten thousand soldiers."
Tai Shici frowned.
"Marshal, but isn't Traitor Cao already on guard against you?"
Bai Feng nodded and said in a noncommittal manner,
"Although that's the case, he still doesn't dare to touch me."
"I know his intentions, but he doesn't know mine. If I were to stand on my own without a foundation, even if Cao Cao were to give up on the Sun Liu Army and the pressure from Hanzhong and Bashu, he would still send troops to suppress us."
"Since Cao Cao is the one who wants to stand on our own, why should we bear the infamy?"
Zhao Yun and Tai Shici immediately nodded at Bai Feng's words.
While these were Bai Feng's considerations, the most important was still Bai Feng's.
Bai Feng did not want Cao Cao to think that he was rebelling. Instead, he wanted to wait for Cao Cao to make a move.
As long as Cao Cao made a move, the situation would be completely different.
At that time, he would be forced into a corner and would not have any intention of rebelling.
In truth, Bai Feng did not want to stand on his own two feet.
But he had not expected Xun Yu to make such a move that would cause Cao Cao's temperament to change.
Otherwise, given the trust that Cao Cao had in him, he would have been willing to retire.
After bidding farewell to Taishi Ci and Zhao Yun, Bai Feng purposely smeared some blood on his white robe. He also used a knife to cut a few holes in his clothes.
After doing this, Bai Feng mounted his horse and rode toward Fan City.
… …
"Who's up ahead?"
Zhang He, who was patrolling the city walls, saw a man and a horse approaching Fan City and was immediately alarmed.
But soon, he saw the Snow-Treading Ebony Stallion beneath Bai Feng.
"It's Marshal! Open the gates!"
Zhang He saw that Bai Feng was covered in blood and his clothes were in disarray, so he immediately shouted and opened the gates.
Once Bai Feng entered the city, Zhang He hurriedly approached and asked, "Marshal, did you go to Zhang Commandery?
"Marshal, didn't you go to Yuzhang? Why are you back in Fan City today?"
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes, his expression grave.
"We failed to take Yu Zhang.
"I didn't expect Tai Shici to reveal an opening, allowing us to seize the supplies and poison them.
"I underestimated the enemy."
Zhang He looked like he had been struck by lightning. He did not dare to believe Bai Feng's words.
But the truth was right before his eyes. When he saw Bai Feng fall from his horse, Zhang He immediately went to find a military doctor.
… …
"Sir, how is the Marshal?"
Xiahou Yuan, Zhang He, and the others were anxiously waiting at the gate.
Bai Feng had been unconscious for an entire day. During this time, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
If something happened to Bai Feng, it would be a heavy blow to Cao Wei!
First of all, without Bai Feng's guidance, Wolong and Feng Chu would definitely find a way to break through Fan City, Jiangling, and Jiangxia.
"He's fine for now, but he still needs to rest."
"The Marshal was poisoned with a large dosage. Fortunately, the Marshal's body is strong enough to expel most of it."
The military doctor continued in shock.
"Even a cow would faint for five to six days with such a dosage. I didn't expect the Marshal's body to be so strong."
Everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief.
But they were still not happy.
If only Bai Feng returned, Cao Chun would be dead, and the Ferocious Cavalry would also be killed!
That was two thousand Ferocious Cavalry!
One must know that Cao Cao only had ten thousand Ferocious Cavalry under his command.
After many years of fighting, he only had six thousand left. He had not been able to replenish them.
If Wei Emperor knew that he had lost a third of his men, he would definitely be furious!
What shocked them the most was that Bai Feng had been defeated!
He had never lost to the Young Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, not even when he was surrounded by Xu Chang.
But in the hands of Taishi Ci, he actually suffered such a defeat that he almost couldn't return!
With that thought in mind, everyone raised their guard against Tai Shici.
Although this person had won by scheming against the marshal, he was still the first person to defeat Bai Feng!
At the same time, outside Jiangxia City.
In Sun Quan's tent.
"Is the news reliable?"
Sun Quan's eyes widened. He could not believe it.
However, the report stated that the Marshal of Wei Empire, Bai Feng, had led his army to invade Yuzhang and was defeated. The Ferocious Cavalry had suffered heavy casualties, and Cao Chun had died in battle.
This was something that would only happen in Sun Quan's dreams.
"Ziyi, oh Ziyi!"
"Ziyi is really a fierce general!"
"The opponent that even Guan and Zhang couldn't deal with was actually forced back by Ziyi!"
"Good! I will reward him handsomely! "
Sun Quan laughed and muttered to himself as he read the battle report.
Lu Su narrowed his eyes.
