It was already halfway through the night.
The entire Xinye City was deathly silent.
The sound of galloping horses broke the silence. Cao Ren was leading the cavalry behind him, preparing to charge into Xinye City.
Cao Ren had originally planned to use brute force to defeat the enemy, but because of Bai Feng's sudden attack, he had no choice but to be wary and chose to launch a night attack.
"Damn it, if this brat is a swindler, this daddy will skin him alive!"
Thinking back to how Bai Feng had scolded him in the forest, Cao Ren was naturally displeased.
Seeing that Xinye City was so close, Cao Ren wasn't willing to let it go so easily.
Although Bai Feng's mannerisms and words were far from that of an ordinary person, Cao Ren wasn't going to let a fat piece of meat in his mouth escape.
Cao Ren stood in place and carefully observed Xinye City.
At this moment, the clouds covering the moon parted, allowing the gentle moonlight to spill over Xinye City. Cao Ren couldn't help but squint his eyes.
This Xinye City wasn't guarded at night, and its gates were wide open!
Not only that, there weren't any traces of wild beasts outside Xinye City, and the surroundings were abnormally quiet.
"Hahahaha, General, Liu Bei must have been scared out of his wits and obediently opened the gates. Maybe he knows that our army is coming and is preparing to surrender. Let's enter the city!"
The deputy general beside Cao Ren couldn't help but laugh.
If it was in the past, Cao Ren would have definitely entered the city without even thinking about it. But now, he was only shocked.
"This person was right. Wait a moment!"
Soon, Cao Ren had an idea in his mind. He said to the deputy general,
"Take some men and scout around. After confirming that there's nothing wrong, enter the city first. The rest of you set up camp. Without my orders, you are not allowed to attack!"
"Yes, sir!"
The deputy general received the order and began to make arrangements.
Although Cao Ren wasn't very smart, he wasn't like Xu Chu and Wei Wei, who relied purely on brute force. At crucial moments, he was still able to come up with some strategies.
Something must be wrong if something was out of the ordinary. He understood this old saying.
Cao Ren's heart began to beat like a drum. Thinking about it carefully, his army was about to arrive like thunder, the sound of horse hooves resounding through the clouds. That Zhuge Liang was full of tricks, how could he not be prepared?
Previously, Xiahou Dun had brought over a hundred thousand men and suffered a setback here. How could his mere fifty thousand vanguard force allow Liu Bei to capture them without putting up a fight?
Cao Ren couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he racked his brains. He shouted in a low voice, "Bring the bastard who insulted me in broad daylight to me!"
The guard stammered as he replied, "Yes, sir.
"General … General, we don't know where that person is right now, but he's definitely still in the camp!"
"Is your brain good-looking?"
Cao Ren kicked the guard down and almost fainted from anger.
No matter who Bai Feng was, he definitely wasn't someone to be trifled with. If he was slighted, he might make a huge mistake.
Even if he was pretending to be a ghost, it definitely had something to do with Liu Bei. If he escaped or died on the march and the prime minister found out, Cao Ren would definitely bang his head on the ground.
At this moment, Bai Feng was lying on the vast grassland with a green foxtail in his mouth. He was looking at the stars with his legs crossed.
At first, Bai Feng thought that Cao Ren was a complete simpleton. He had already performed so well, but this guy actually left just like that. Could it be that he didn't take him seriously at all?
Thus, Bai Feng had followed the army unhurriedly after they left. Now that the army had stopped, it meant that Cao Ren had more or less listened to his advice and was now thinking of a plan to defeat the enemy.
In that case, this matter was most likely going according to his expectations.
However, Bai Feng didn't really care about this. Even if Cao Ren didn't believe him, Bai Feng would still think of other ways to get close to Cao Cao.
But now, it seemed that following Cao Ren into the Cao camp was the simplest and most convenient way.
If he didn't help the Boss Cao at all and rashly went to the camp, with his personality, he would definitely be suspicious. Moreover, the more he showed off his abilities, the more suspicious the Boss Cao would be.
If he helped the Boss Cao take down Xinye and pulled out a nail in his heart, then the situation would be completely different.
If it wasn't for the system's mission, Bai Feng wouldn't have even bothered to get close to the Boss Cao. With his current status panel, although he might not be as good as Lu Bu, he should have already surpassed many frontline generals.
After the system's activation, it also gave Bai Feng a special ability — — "Survey".
This skill allowed him to easily check the various attributes of the person in front of Bai Feng. However, it was limited to this. However, it had the words "Lvl 1" behind it, indicating that it could be upgraded.
During the day, Bai Feng had surveyed Cao Ren. His martial strength was only 78 and his endurance was 80. This gave Bai Feng a reference. Currently, Bai Feng had a basic understanding of his own strength.
If this Cao Ren really wanted to hurt him, Bai Feng was confident that he could take him down in less than ten moves, not to mention the weak soldiers around him who only had forty to fifty martial strength.
Just as Bai Feng was pondering over this, the sound of horse hooves could be heard.
"You're here?"
Bai Feng slowly raised his body and looked towards the source of the sound.
"Sir! I hope Mister can give me some advice! "
The person who came was dressed in Black Armour. It was Cao Ren, Cao Zixiao!
Seeing that other than some dust on Cao Ren's body, there weren't any burn marks, it seemed that Cao Ren trusted his words and didn't trespass into Xinye City.
Cao Zixiao, Cao Zixiao, I didn't expect you to make me see you in a new light!
Bai Feng acted as though he didn't hear Cao Ren's words at all. He quietly waited for Cao Ren to come forward.
"Oh? General Cao, are you here to punish me for my crimes after taking down that tiny Xinye City so easily? "
Bai Feng raised his eyebrows and said softly.
This made Cao Ren extremely anxious. He hurriedly said,
He hurriedly said, "Sir, what are you saying? I've long seen that you are a great strategist, wise, brave, and …"
Cao Ren hated that he didn't read more books. He was at a loss for words.
Bai Feng didn't reply. Instead, he glanced at Cao Ren, causing Cao Ren to sweat profusely.
"Sir … You should have heard of my Prime Minister …"
Seeing Bai Feng like this, Cao Ren couldn't care less about how he scolded him during the day.
He hurriedly said, "Although Zixiao isn't talented, I still have some say in front of the Prime Minister. If you can give me some pointers today and help me break through the city, I promise to recommend you to the Lord!"
Hearing this, Bai Feng was somewhat tempted.
Cao Ren wasn't boasting. His words did carry some weight in front of Boss Cao.
Furthermore, it seemed that Cao Ren was in a hurry because he was at his wits' end. If Bai Feng helped him now, he would have completed half of the mission.
While Bai Feng was pondering, Cao Ren couldn't wait any longer. He thought that Bai Feng didn't care about his conditions because he didn't want to be involved in worldly affairs.
