After returning to Fan City, Xiahou Yuan fulfilled his promise and gave the five thousand elite troops to Bai Feng.
After all, Bai Feng did not have many direct subordinates.
Apart from the defending troops of Fan City and Jiangling, Bai Feng could also move the Tiger Leopard Cavalry and Xiliang Cavalry.
Now that the Tiger Leopard Cavalry was wiped out, three thousand of them were sent back.
Bai Feng only had seven thousand Xiliang Cavalry left.
Bai Feng quietly thought about the current situation.
Right now, he only had 18,000 soldiers under his command. The rest were all Cao Army.
Ten thousand of them were from the Xiliang Cavalry. Although three thousand of them went to Hanzhong, as long as he gave the order, Ma Chao would lead the Xiliang Cavalry over.
Ma Chao had around fifty thousand Xiliang Cavalry. However, apart from the three thousand that Zhang Liao brought over, the other forty thousand were still in Cao Cao's hands.
As such, before he became independent, he could not move the Xiliang Cavalry.
If that was the case, the number of troops he had was simply too small.
To deal with the one hundred thousand Sun Liu Army was still a little difficult.
As for Jiangxia, Bai Feng had given it to the Sun Liu Army.
The troops in Jiangxia had all been moved to Jiangling by Bai Feng.
Amongst which, the soldiers that Cao Ren brought over were all sent back to Fan City by Bai Feng.
It was not that Bai Feng could not move them.
It was that Bai Feng did not care about these soldiers at all.
Under Cao Ren's hands, they had developed bad natures, which were hard to get rid of.
Rather than mobilizing these soldiers, why not just pick the elites from the Shanyue prisoners of war himself?
As for Li Cunxiao, the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun, and the remaining seven hundred mysterious armored cavalry, they were all ready in Jiangling.
Li Yuanba and Qin Liangyu were the same, waiting for orders in Jiangling.
There were no Cao Army generals in Jiangling City. If he wanted to move them, he only needed to say the word.
Now, he only needed to wait for two days until the Sun Liu Alliance was in Jiangxia.
Thinking of this, he slowly got up and went to Da Qiao's room.
"Mister?"
Da Qiao was pleasantly surprised to see Bai Feng.
"Mister, thank you for your hard work."
Da Qiao did not expect Bai Feng to work so hard and even take the knockout drug himself.
However, what he did not know was that the knockout drug was just like an ordinary medicinal powder to Bai Feng. It did not have any effect at all.
Bai Feng's current physique could virtually be said to be impervious to poison.
Even drinking Crane Top Red as a beverage would not be a problem.
Bai Feng smiled faintly.
"In two days, we will leave.."
Da Qiao was stunned. She looked at Bai Feng and said,
"Mister, do you mean..."
"You are going to make a move?"
Bai Feng nodded slightly and said in a noncommittal manner.
"Sun Quan's attention is now on Jiangxia. We only need to wait for two days before we move out."
Da Qiao felt a lump in her throat.
The moment had finally arrived!
She had found the right person to look for Bai Feng.
Shao'er, you will be avenged!
Although Da Qiao didn't know about the current situation or Bai Feng's plan, Da Qiao didn't know about the current situation.
However, she knew that after the Battle of Red Cliff, more than half of the soldiers in Jiangdong had been killed.
Sun Quan had sent out seventy thousand soldiers to attack Jiangxia. This was almost all the soldiers that could be mobilized.
At present, each of the six counties of Jiangdong only has about ten thousand soldiers, or maybe even less!
If they moved out now, they would be able to catch Sun Quan off guard.
If Jiangdong was lost, Sun Quan's life would be in Bai Feng's hands.
After giving a simple explanation to Da Qiao so that Da Qiao could be mentally prepared, Bai Feng walked to the top of the city wall alone.
Mr. Cao's expression must be very interesting right now.
… …
At this moment, outside Hanzhong City.
Cao Cao looked at the battle report. His expression was twisted beyond recognition.
"Wei Emperor, this subject..."
Cheng Yu had just walked in. When he saw Cao Cao's expression, he immediately stopped talking and stood to the side.
"Preposterous, preposterous!"
Cao Cao gnashed his teeth and roared. He threw the battle report to the ground and pointed.
"Zhongde, do you think that Bai Feng lost on purpose?"
"My two thousand Ferocious Cavalry, two thousand!"
"Gone just like that!"
Cheng Yu immediately blushed with shame.
"Wei Emperor, please don't be angry. This subject thinks... that the Marshal must have his reasons."
"As the saying goes, even a wise man can make mistakes. Tai Shici's plan is truly too vicious."
Although Cheng Yu hadn't seen the battle report, he had heard the rumors from others.
Ever since the battle report was delivered, all the soldiers in the army began to talk about it.
Although they didn't know what was going on, everyone could guess.
"Bullshit! This subject has known him for so long, and he has never failed like this! "
Cao Cao gnashed his teeth as he looked at the battle report. He already had a rough idea of what was going on.
Bai Feng might have realized that he was going to make a move against him!
However, he couldn't tell anyone else about this. Currently, only Cao Ren knew what he was thinking.
"Zhongde, what do you want to say?"
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice.
Cheng Yu hurriedly cupped his hands.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister, General Zhang Liao has already arrived with his troops. He is currently fighting with Zhang Ren."
"Furthermore..."
At this point, Cheng Yu suddenly paused. Cao Cao narrowed his eyes.
"Speak!"
Cheng Yu gritted his teeth and said.
"According to General Zhang Liao, in order to attack Yuzhang, the Marshal only brought three days' worth of rations. Considering that the Xiliang Cavalry still had to rush to Hanzhong, he gave the Ferocious Cavalry's rations to the Xiliang Cavalry.
"This subject presumes that the Marshal fell into Tai Shici's trap because of the extreme shortage of rations."
Cao Cao was taken aback by Cheng Yu's words.
If that was the case, then Bai Feng's failure wasn't surprising at all.
Cao Cao was well aware of the lack of rations.
Even the Ferocious Cavalry wouldn't be able to fight without rations.
If the enemy suddenly exposed an opening, it was very likely that they would lose their rationality.
"This subject understands. You may leave."
Cao Cao waved his hand. After Cheng Yu left, his expression became extremely ferocious.
However, this savage expression wasn't directed at Bai Feng, but at Tai Shici.
He had never imagined that a nameless general who hadn't even shown his face at the Battle of Red Cliff would be able to scheme against Bai Feng.
Moreover, the price he had paid was two thousand Ferocious Cavalry!
Cao Cao deeply regretted transferring Cao Chun to Zhang Liao.
If he hadn't done so, Zihe wouldn't have died, and the Ferocious Cavalry wouldn't have been lost!
What made Cao Cao's heart ache the most was Cao Chun and the equipment of the Ferocious Cavalry.
