After Bai Feng took care of everything at home, he led the army toward Kuiji.
The journey was bumpy, but these soldiers were all warriors who had undergone harsh training. The journey was not tiring for them.
Bai Feng sat in the carriage behind and looked at the distant horizon.
"At this speed, we should reach Kuiji in about seven days.
"To be honest, this speed is already good enough. After all, there were no sports cars during the Three Kingdoms period.
"Not only that, we don't have a lot of troops for this operation, but they are not few either.
"Moreover, we have a lot of provisions and limited cavalry. Naturally, the speed of the march will be reduced.
"What I don't know is whether those Dongyue Wu guys in Kuiji will really close the city gates.
"Right now, to me, closing the city gates is actually the best choice."
"On the contrary, if those guys directly open the city gates to accept the challenge, it will make me feel a little uneasy.
"As I said before, those old guys in Jiangdong are not senile. They are not stupid.
"They are the same as me. If they are not confident in winning, they will not easily make a move.
"If they directly go all out and fight, it is obvious that they have thought of a way to deal with me.
"Although I can't think of how they will deal with me.
"Or could it be that these guys knew that they were no match for me and decided to use some sort of trick?"
"As for myself, in the end, I decided to run away and look for Sun Quan."
As soon as this thought appeared in Bai Feng's mind, he shook his head repeatedly.
"No, no, no, these old guys will not do that.
"If they do that, Sun Quan will definitely kill them all.
"Even if these guys want to run away out of fear, it is not very likely.
"After all, Zhang Zhao is in charge of Kuiji now. Although he is cautious, he will not surrender directly.
"Forget it, I'd better not think too much about it.
"As for what is going on, it is obvious that we will only know when we really go to Kuiji.
"As for the rest, no matter how much I guess, it's useless."
"Similarly, the final result of the battle will only be known when the war is truly over.
"These are all very simple principles. Even a three-year-old child can understand them."
"But, as an adult, why can't I understand it sometimes?"
On the battlefield, no one had absolute confidence in winning.
After all, there were too many uncertainties.
It was possible that a small change could affect the outcome of the entire battle.
One had to know that this was an iron-clad fact.
Bai Feng wasn't the only one speculating about the impending war.
Those old fogeys of Dong Yue Wu were even more scheming than him.
Just like Zhang Zhao, the chief steward of Kuiji.
In order to deal with Bai Feng, his head was about to explode.
The other Dong Yue Wu officials were the same, but in the end, no one could come up with any good ideas.
But he had no choice but to think of it.
Now that Bai Feng was about to arrive, could it be that they could only be cowards?
Closing the city gates for defense was indeed the best strategy.
However, that could only be done when there was no other choice.
After all, the people of Dong Yue Wu were also people who cared about their reputation.
Previously, Cheng Pu and Han Dang were both killed by Bai Feng, and they even lost their Danyang.
This was already embarrassing enough for Dong Yue Wu.
If they were to face Bai Feng now, they could only use the method of closing the city gates and not fighting to repel him.
If that was the case, even if they won this war, Dong Yue Wu would still feel very uncomfortable.
Dong Yue Wu was more or less one of the three countries. It was one of the strongest powers in the world.
Although it couldn't be compared to the powerful Cao Cao in the north, it was still a first-rate power.
Now, they were beaten to such a state by a nobody like Bai Feng. Wasn't this too embarrassing?
Hence, at this time, Dong Yue Wu should attack the invaders heavily and beat them back.
Only in this way could they protect their pitiful dignity.
Unfortunately, they didn't have the strength now.
Dong Yue Wu's powerful generals had all been transferred away by Sun Quan. Even Lu Su was the same.
If Governor Lu Su was present, he would definitely be able to put up a fight against Bai Feng based on his talent and knowledge.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
Right now, Lu Su wasn't even in Kuiji. Instead, he was following Sun Quan to attack Bai Feng's stronghold in Yuzhang.
At this time, there were only a few junior generals and a few officials who were no longer as useful inside Kuiji.
With their strength, they were not Bai Feng's match at all.
Zhang Zhao naturally knew this.
This was also one of the main reasons for his anxiety.
Zhang Zhao looked at the civil and military officials and said angrily.
"That despicable Bai Feng really knows how to choose the right time to attack."
"At this time, most of the officials in Jiangdong have left with the Lord. This is also the time when the rear of Jiangdong is the weakest."
"If we don't go all out this time, Kuiji might fall into Bai Feng's hands again."
"When that time comes, it will be the day of our destruction."
"You have to know that as a civil and military official in Jiangdong, I don't know where we will go or where we can go after we leave the Lord or lose Kuiji."
"These things are all unimaginable to us. They are also things that we cannot predict."
"That's why I'm asking everyone to use their brains and think of the right way."
"Otherwise, even if we don't fall into Bai Feng's hands, we will starve to death on the streets like fugitive criminals."
"Wine and meat stink in the red door, and bones freeze to death in the cold."
"I think everyone is very clear about this."
"However, it seems that we can't change the current situation."
"If we really can't, then we can only choose to hide in the city and use the defense of the city walls to exhaust all of Bai Feng's provisions."
"Bai Feng probably doesn't have a lot of troops, and he didn't travel very far. He probably doesn't have a lot of provisions."
"According to this, when the time comes, we just have to endure for a while and exhaust all of this bastard's provisions."
"However, this is only a last resort. It's definitely not the right choice."
