"What?"
Zhang Ning even thought that he had misheard.
Bai Feng's goal was not Jiangdong?
Then why did he pull all his main forces to Jiangdong? Was it just to keep Sun Quan in check?
That didn't make sense.
Everything was too illogical.
If that was the case, then Bai Feng's behavior was too stupid.
He was undoubtedly making a joke of himself and his soldiers!
Bai Feng saw through Zhang Ning's thoughts and smiled.
"Don't worry. Although my goal is not Jiangdong, I have no intention of returning the Fanning Donghu Hotel to Sun Quan."
Zhang Ning couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this.
"In my opinion, it's difficult.
"Although your generals aren't weak, you have too few soldiers.
"Don't tell me you're really planning to use the Human Roll to create soldiers."
Hearing Zhang Ning's words, Bai Feng couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Zhang Ning and said,
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Ning shrugged and said,
"The soldiers created by the Human Roll will constantly consume your stamina as long as they don't die in battle.
"The stronger the soldiers, the faster your stamina will be consumed.
"You can't feel it now because there aren't many soldiers. Once there are tens of thousands of soldiers consuming your stamina at the same time, you won't be able to bear it."
Hearing Zhang Ning's words, Bai Feng immediately frowned.
If Zhang Ning hadn't said it, he wouldn't have known.
He didn't expect the Human Roll to have such a side effect.
No wonder his stamina was decreasing so quickly.
Bai Feng whispered,
"If that's the case, what's the use of casting beans to create soldiers?"
Zhang Ning raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Of course it's useful, but you have to reduce your stamina by half when using the Human Roll.
"As for how to do it, I can teach you later.
"In this case, the strength of the soldiers you summon won't be greatly reduced, but there's a time limit.
"Once the time limit is over, or if you're fatally injured, these soldiers will directly disappear.
"Plus, they won't exhaust your stamina."
Hearing Zhang Ning's words, Bai Feng had an epiphany.
So that was the case.
No wonder he saw Zhang Ning controlling the scarecrow. It turned out that he was trying to avoid exhausting his stamina.
Since there was a time limit, it meant that he could only summon them during battle and could not store them.
But that was fine too.
These soldiers could replace the ordinary soldiers in the vanguard and greatly reduce the losses of the soldiers.
Bai Feng's heart ached when he thought about how he had lost half of his Black Armor Cavalry.
After saying that, Zhang Ning told Bai Feng everything about the operation method.
Zhang Ning was rather surprised that Bai Feng was able to master the technique after listening to it once.
However, Zhang Ning didn't think much of it when he thought of the speed at which he cultivated the Human Scroll.
Now that he knew the side effects of the Human Scroll, Bai Feng did not intend to use the current soldiers. He immediately ordered the original soldiers to withdraw.
Under Zhang Ning's guidance, Bai Feng withdrew the Human Scroll.
Soon, the soldiers returned to their original state and became inanimate objects.
He had no choice but to recruit new soldiers.
Bai Feng sighed softly.
It seemed that his plan had to be brought forward.
If they stayed in Wu County, Yu Zhang might really be lost.
Recruiting soldiers in Wu County was not a wise choice.
Even if he could recruit Jiangdong soldiers, they would not be of much use.
With that thought in mind, Bai Feng led all the soldiers and secretly left Wu County in the middle of the night.
Their first target was the Jiangdong soldiers who had been surrounding Wu County.
They could only take back Danyang if they defeated them and made them surrender.
In that case, the three counties would be able to greatly reduce the pressure on Yu Zhang.
Before taking action, Bai Feng received a secret letter from Tai Shici.
The letter contained very little content.
Liu Bei's reinforcements had arrived and Yu Zhang was about to fall.
This short line of words confirmed Bai Feng's decision to send out his troops as soon as possible.
"Sir, I have brought the tung oil as you instructed. What should we do next?"
Li Cunxiao whispered to Bai Feng.
"Lead the Black Armor Cavalry. Remember, do not ride horses. Enter from the east and splash the oil on their provisions.
"Send a messenger to report to us when it's done. We will send out our troops immediately."
Bai Feng said in a low voice.
"Yes, sir!"
Li Cunxiao obeyed the order, but he was still a little doubtful.
"Sir, why are you so sure that their supplies are on the east?"
"If we don't find them, we will miss the opportunity."
Bai Feng smiled faintly.
"Danyang City is on the east. They have just been through a major battle, so they won't have time to move their supplies.
"Now that the Jiangdong Army has suffered great losses, their morale is low, and their defenses are lax. This is the best time to attack."
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Li Cunxiao suddenly understood. He quickly led three hundred armored soldiers and quietly advanced toward the east side of the Jiangdong Army with the tung oil.
Bai Feng looked at the sky quietly.
Bai Feng originally did not intend to take Jiangdong. He only wanted to inflict heavy losses on Jiangdong.
Jiangdong was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although it was suitable for making a fortune, it was not suitable for him.
Bai Feng only wanted Jingzhou.
Although Jingzhou was surrounded by enemies from all sides, the surrounding roads were very convenient. Their defense and deployment of troops were excellent, many times better than Jiangdong.
Moreover, there were many clans in Jiangdong. Even if he took Jiangdong, it might not be as easy to convince the people as Jingzhou.
But there was no other way.
Cao Cao knew that he had come to Jiangdong and wanted to kill him. Until now, he had not sent any reinforcements.
Moreover, the defenders of Jiangling and Jiangxia were Cao Ren and the others. If he guessed correctly, they had already received Cao Cao's orders.
Now that the Sun Liu Army had shifted their battlefield, it should have been the best time to attack them.
But Cao Cao still gave the order.
Bai Feng could not help but shake his head.
If it was the Cao Cao of the past, he would not care so much. He would kill Liu Bei and Sun Quan first.
These two people had always been a big problem for him. If he did not get rid of them, it would be bad sooner or later.
But now, Cao Cao's eagerness had exceeded Bai Feng's imagination.
It had even affected his most basic character.
The former careerist no longer existed.
Now, he was short-sighted because of his severely injured body. He only wanted to kill Bai Feng.
But if he did this, even if he killed Bai Feng, he would only get the Sun Liu Army to move north of Jingzhou.
He was in a stalemate in Hanzhong and would not be able to win in a short time.
If the Sun Liu Army led the army straight up, they could take down Xuchang.
At that time, no matter how big Cao Cao's foundation was, his foundation would be damaged. What he left for his son Cao Pi would be a mess.
And Cao Pi would not be of much use without Sima Yi. He was extremely mediocre.
But Bai Feng did not intend to sit still and wait for death.
Since the Sun Liu Army had targeted him and not Cao Cao.
Then he might as well get rid of them all.
"Ding!"
