"I do have some spies in Jiangdong, but Sir, why are you asking about this?"
Jiang Gan was a little confused.
The Prime Minister had never mentioned using spies before. Moreover, he was the one asking Bai Feng for a favor. Bai Feng's request was definitely not for official business.
If it was for a private matter, then it would be a big deal.
"General, there's no need to worry. I just have a private matter that I need you to help me investigate in Dong Yue Wu."
Bai Feng did not take it to heart and continued speaking faintly.
This time, Jiang Gan's face gradually turned ugly.
He had guessed correctly!
It was not that Jiang Gan could not do it, but this matter was not something that could be easily investigated!
As the Prime Minister's strategist, Bai Feng must have some understanding of Jiangdong. However, Bai Feng was not the only strategist in the Cao Army. A few other strategists had approached him before, but they had all been rejected.
Bai Feng was clearly trying to pull him to his side!
Seeing Jiang Gan's expression turn ugly, Bai Feng could also guess his concerns. He waved his hand and said,
"General Jiang, you're overthinking. What I want to investigate is a very small matter, and it has nothing to do with military matters."
"Nothing to do with military matters?"
Jiang Gan heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Bai Feng eagerly.
Bai Feng did not keep him in suspense and said,
"When I was in Xinye, I heard that there were two talented women in Jiangdong, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. I yearned for them, but they were both married. Now, Bo Fu is dead, and Da Qiao is a widow."
"I also heard that Da Qiao is dead, but it's just a rumor. I want you to help me investigate whether Da Qiao is alive or dead."
Jiang Gan pricked up his ears and listened carefully to Bai Feng's words. But at this point, Bai Feng stopped.
Jiang Gan was stunned. He blinked and said,
"That's all?"
"That's all."
Bai Feng shrugged and said, "I'm busy with work right now, so I can't go to Jiangdong to take a look. After thinking about it, only you can help me."
Jiang Gan immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled wretchedly.
"I understand what you mean!"
Seeing him like this, Bai Feng couldn't help but raise his hand to slap them.
What do you know that you know? Did she think that I was Cao Cao, the man who loved his wife?!
I still prefer the younger ones. How can I take someone who is married and has a child?
Am I, Bai Feng, such a person?
Jiang Gan stood up and cupped his hands.
"Now that you've handed it over to me, Mr. Bai, what happened today …"
Bai Feng waved his hand.
"Let's stop here. I'll pretend that this never happened. However, if I find out about this again, I won't let you off so easily."
Jiang Gan hurriedly said:
"Don't worry, Sir. I'll definitely discipline my disappointing nephew when I go back. I guarantee that there won't be a next time. As for the matter that Sir asked of me, I'll inform Sir as soon as I have the results."
"It's getting late. I'll take my leave first."
Bai Feng nodded. Jiang Gan left without looking back.
Bai Feng found a secluded place, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
It wasn't that Bai Feng was sleepy. At this time, Bai Feng's physical fitness had reached a level that ordinary people couldn't compare to. Even if he didn't sleep for three days and three nights, he wouldn't feel any discomfort.
However, every 24 hours, Bai Feng's body would start to process the impurities produced. Although this period wasn't long, it would make Bai Feng feel a little sleepy.
At this time, Bai Feng didn't have anything to do. He fell asleep unknowingly.
The next day.
"Sir, Sir …"
A silvery voice sounded in Bai Feng's ears.
Bai Feng slowly opened his eyes. A delicate face appeared in front of him.
"Sir, the Prime Minister sent someone to invite Sir to the Prime Minister's residence. There's still half an hour left."
This person was none other than Bai Feng's servant girl.
Bai Feng stretched his muscles and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Didn't the discussion last time come to a conclusion? Recently, Jiang Gan and Cai Mao would train the navy and wait for a period of time before launching the crusade against Dong Yue Wu.
At this time, his plan still needed some time to be implemented. Why was Boss Cao suddenly so anxious and wanted him to go?
Although he was a little puzzled, if he didn't go, it would be too embarrassing for Boss Cao.
Bai Feng washed his face and walked towards the Prime Minister's residence.
Inside the Prime Minister's residence.
"Everyone, although the crusade against Jiangdong can't be rushed, the urgent report from Jiangxia has made me feel quite uneasy."
Cao Cao stood with his hands behind his back and frowned as he spoke to the civil and military officials in front of him.
"Wen He, you read it."
With that, Cao Cao waved his hand and ordered a guard to pass the report to Jia Xu.
This was Bai Feng's first time seeing Jia Xu. This person's face was fair and clean, and he looked a little feminine. He looked to be in his early thirties, but his head of silver hair was very eye-catching.
"Liu Bei retreated from Jiangxia and recruited more than 30,000 soldiers in the name of reviving the Han Dynasty. Now, he has close relations with Jiangdong. Under the suggestion of Lu Su and Zhuge Liang, it's suspected that he's an allied army."
Jia Xu read unhurriedly, but his expression didn't change at all.
This person was quite shrewd.
Bai Feng rubbed his chin and tried to figure out Jia Xu.
Jia Xu had a very high status in historical records. In troubled times, he was known as the Poisonous Warrior because of his self-preservation and deadly strategies.
Obviously, Jia Xu was not a person Cheng Yu and Xun Yu could compare to.
"This Liu Bei is indeed a disaster! He shouldn't have stayed! "
"Yes, Prime Minister, we should immediately send out troops and catch Liu Bei before he grows into a large scale!"
"If Liu Bei is not eliminated, Jiangdong will be difficult to attack!"
"…"
Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion below the stage. The civil and military officials began to persuade Cao Cao to send out troops to suppress Liu Bei as soon as possible.
Cao Cao frowned and didn't respond to the crowd's words. Instead, he turned to look at Bai Feng, Cheng Yu, and Xun Yu.
Xun Yu spoke first.
"Prime Minister, the suppression of Jiangdong is imminent. If we divide our forces to suppress Liu Bei, we will be attacked from both sides. If Jiangdong besieges Wei to save Zhao, the gains will not make up for the losses."
Cheng Yu echoed.
"Wen Ruo is right. Although Jiangdong is not as good as Jiangdong, it is also a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Now that Liu Bei has recruited a large number of soldiers, it is indeed harmful and not beneficial to attack Jiangdong."
Cao Cao nodded. Both of them had hit the nail on the head, but he was still frowning. Then he looked at Bai Feng.
"What do you think, Sir?"
Bai Feng smiled and immediately understood Cao Cao's meaning.
How could Cao Cao not know that Liu Bei was impossible to defeat now? This discussion was obviously to find a solution. Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were right, but they only gave suggestions and didn't hit the nail on the head.
Bai Feng said calmly.
"Prime Minister, Jiangdong must be conquered and Liu Bei must be eliminated. At present, the joint forces of the two sides are inevitable. Now, we need to settle down the residents of Xinye to comfort them."
