Two days later.
Bai Feng had already left Fan City with Da Qiao and Diao Chan.
Bai Feng brought Da Qiao with him because he had promised Da Qiao that he would kill his enemy.
If Sun Quan knew that he was heading for Jiangdong, he would definitely come back to deal with him.
As for Diao Chan, Bai Feng did not plan to bring her to Dong Yue Wu. Instead, he planned to leave her in Jiangling.
In the past, Fan City was less dangerous than Jiangling.
But now, it seemed like Jiangling was much safer than Fan City.
Once he destroyed Sun Quan's base, the Sun-Liu Alliance would crumble. It was hard to say whether Cao Cao would make a move first.
Other than the two of them, Lv Lingqi and Bai Feng also brought along Lingju.
Only Zhang He and the other Cao Army generals were left in Fan City.
"Sir, we have been waiting here for a long time."
After seeing Bai Feng, Li Cunxiao cupped his hands and said, "Let's go.
Let's take Yuzhang and use it as a base to attack. "
With Bai Feng's order, the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun, the Black Armor Cavalry, the five thousand newly recruited elite soldiers, and the seven thousand Xiliang Cavalry immediately set off.
A total of thirteen thousand soldiers was enough to deal with the few defenses in Jiangdong.
This time, Bai Feng did not take a detour.
Two days ago, Bai Feng had arranged for the soldiers to dig a tunnel beside Jiangling City to avoid the eyes of Jiangxia.
After all, Jiangxia was already on high alert and was eyeing Jiangling.
If they continued to advance in the dark like they did when they took Fan City, they would definitely be discovered by the Cao Army.
As for the horses, Bai Feng had already sent someone to transport them to the designated location.
Jiangxia was still some distance away from Yuzhang.
Fortunately, Bai Feng had brought a group of cavalrymen with him, and they soon arrived at Yu Zhang.
When Tai Shici heard the news, he immediately brought Zhao Yun out and waited in front of Yuzhang.
"Greetings, Marshal!"
"Greetings, my lord!"
When the two generals saw Bai Feng, they hurriedly saluted.
"Marshal, the seven thousand soldiers are on standby and ready to depart at any time."
Zhao Yun said respectfully.
Bai Feng nodded and said in a low voice,
"General Ziyi, please lead the way. We are heading to Danyang County."
Tai Shici was slightly taken aback.
"Marshal, why do you want to take Dan Yang?"
"This meeting should be the best one."
Tai Shici had his reasons for saying so.
Kuaiji could be said to be the largest capital city after Yuzhang. If they could conquer it, it would be equivalent to conquering half of Jiangdong.
At that time, even if Sun Quan returned to defend, it would be useless.
Yuzhang and Kuaiji were adjacent to each other and complemented each other. They could slowly swallow up Jiangdong.
However, it was strange that Bai Feng wanted to take Danyang.
Danyang was sandwiched between the surrounding counties. Once it was attacked, it would be difficult to defend. No matter how he thought about it, it was not as important as Kuaiji.
"Marshal, could it be that you don't know the geography of Jiangdong?"
"Why don't I tell you …"
Before Tai Shici could say anything, Bai Feng waved his hand and said, "General Ziyi, don't worry.
"General Zi Yi, there is no need. I am very clear about the situation in the six counties of Jiangdong."
"Taking Danyang is much better than taking Kuaiji."
"Kuaiji and Yuzhang are separated by the Wuyi Mountain Range. It is extremely difficult to attack. Moreover, Kuaiji County has many guards. Before we can take it down, Sun Quan will have already sent troops back."
"Once Sun Quan returns, he can send troops over from Danyang. By then, it will be a waste of effort."
"Taking the Dan Yang can seal the city together with Yu Zhang, trapping the entire city."
"Not only that, even Wu County will be sealed off."
"Even if Sun Quan returns, he can only use Jiujiang and Lujiang."
"The transportation of troops will be a big problem."
"Once we take Danyang, it will be equivalent to monopolizing the four counties in Jiangdong."
Tai Shici frowned and said, "But Danyang is easy to defend.
"But Danyang is not easy to defend. What if Kuiji, Wu County, Jiujiang and Lujiang, the four major cities, attack together?"
"Moreover, Danyang is not easy to attack. Its governor is Ling Tong. He is extremely skilled in martial arts."
"Once Danyang is surrounded, the other four counties will definitely come to help."
Bai Feng smiled and said,
"Don't worry, General Ziyi. I have a good plan to attack Danyang."
"As for defending the county, it will be even easier."
Although Tai Shici felt that it was too risky, he had to give up when he saw Bai Feng's determination.
After all, Tai Shici had seen Bai Feng's battle achievements. He believed that Bai Feng would never do something that he was not confident of.
"In that case, Marshal, you can go to Danyang along Yuzhang. I will try my best to help you avoid detection."
Tai Shici nodded and said.
Although Tai Shici was the governor of Yuzhang, he was still just a governor. He did not have the Tiger Tally.
Moreover, even if Tai Shici had the Tiger Tally, the soldiers would not rebel with him to attack Danyang.
The only thing he could do now was to send Bai Feng to Danyang. Once he took Danyang, he would immediately rebel.
If he had both Yuzhang and Danyang, he would have the confidence to fight against Sun Quan.
But the premise was that he could take Danyang.
Bai Feng smiled and said,
"General Ziyi, thank you."
"Make some preparations. I will take Danyang in less than five days."
After saying that, Bai Feng led the soldiers and marched toward Danyang.
Tai Shici was stunned.
Take Danyang in five days?
It would take one day to go from Yuzhang to Danyang.
With four days left and a day of rest, they would only have three days to attack Danyang.
Take Danyang in three days?
Tai Shici shook his head.
If it were him, he would not have the confidence to do so.
Danyang was not a big city, but there were twenty thousand soldiers stationed there. The soldiers in Danyang alone were equal to Bai Feng's current soldiers.
On the other hand, most of Bai Feng's troops were cavalrymen. In the true sense, there were only 5,000 infantrymen.
It was difficult for cavalry to attack a city.
But since that was the case, he could only choose to believe in Bai Feng.
On the way to Danyang.
Pound could not help but ask in a low voice,
"Marshal, there is something that Lingming has been wanting to say. Should I say it?"
"Feel free to say it."
Bai Feng smiled and said.
Pound smiled bitterly and said,
"Most of the soldiers of Xiliang are used to fighting in the mountains. Jiangdong is mostly plains. Due to the climate, the Xiliang Cavalry will not be as effective."
"Many of the soldiers are already suffering from heatstroke."
Bai Feng smiled and said,
"I know what Lingming means. That is why I do not plan to lead the Xiliang Cavalry to attack Danyang."
"Take all the Xiliang Cavalry and the five thousand elite soldiers I brought back from Jiangling and set up camp near Yuzhang."
"Once I take Danyang, you will attack Yuzhang and take control of the Jiangdong Army inside."
"When General Ziyi learns about it, he will find a way to open the door for you."
Pound was shocked when he heard this.
"Marshal, you can't do that!"
"If you do that, you will have less than eight thousand soldiers left. It will be difficult to attack the city!"
Bai Feng patted Pound's shoulder and smiled.
