After Xiahou Dun's defeat, Cao Ren made a solemn vow that he would easily take Xinye and present it to the Prime Minister.
However, he never expected that the current situation would make it so difficult for Cao Ren to back down.
The soldiers who went to scout had already returned. As expected, the city was very strange. It was obvious that there was an ambush. If he knew this and still tried to force his way in, he would definitely end up like Xiahou Dun.
However, if he were to return without a fight, even if the Prime Minister was merciful and couldn't bear to kill him on account of the fact that he was a comrade, he would definitely be criticized behind his back when he returned to the army.
How could Cao Ren not be anxious when he couldn't advance or retreat?
In Cao Ren's eyes, only the tall and unfathomable Bai Feng in front of him could save him.
Cao Ren wasn't a petty person. Although he was angry at being insulted, Cao Ren was talented. If someone could help him, even if Cao Ren scolded him ten times or a hundred times, Cao Ren wouldn't care at all.
Hearing Cao Ren's words, Bai Feng was a little surprised.
He only wanted to pretend and find a way to get Cao Ren to recommend him to Boss Cao so that he could complete the mission. Who would have thought that this fellow would say it out loud?
This would save him a lot of trouble.
"Forget it, forget it …"
Bai Feng stood up and stopped pretending. If this continued and Cao Ren flew into a rage out of humiliation, the losses would outweigh the gains.
"Since the Great General has said so, then this one will come out and help General Cao."
Cao Ren's face lit up with joy when he heard this. He quickly stood up and looked like he was all ears.
Bai Feng slowly opened his mouth and said, "General Cao should have already done so.
"General Cao should have already scouted the area. Xinye is almost like a ghost town. There's not even the slightest movement."
Cao Ren nodded his head like a rattle-drum.
"Your army is about to arrive. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang must know that they are no match for you and have already abandoned the city and fled."
"Not only did Liu Bei escape by himself, but he also brought the people of Xinye with him. Do you know why?"
"General, think about it. Along the way, where would there be ambushes?"
Cao Ren clapped his hands and said, "It's Bai He!"
Bai Feng glanced at Cao Ren. This guy still has some brains.
"Once the ambush in the city appears, even if our army is prepared, we will still be forced to retreat and pass through the lower reaches of the White River."
"Right now, it is the rainy season in the Jiangnan area. Zhuge Liang is good at observing the stars at night and has long guessed when it will rain. Once the heavy rain comes pouring down, the water level of the White River will rise …"
Only then did Cao Ren come to a realization. The worried expression on his face couldn't help but become more serious.
Although Bai Feng didn't say it out loud, Cao Ren knew that once the water level rose and someone released water upstream, the Cao Army downstream would definitely be flooded!
"It seems like the general has understood."
Bai Feng saw this and continued.
"After being flooded, our army's morale will definitely drop. At that time, Zhuge Liang will only need to arrange an ambush at the ferry and take the opportunity to attack. At that time, our army will definitely be defeated and powerless to reverse the situation."
After saying this, Bai Feng's heart was filled with joy.
Bai Feng was a fan of the Three Kingdoms. The Battle of Xinye was the battle that made Zhuge Liang famous. Bai Feng had already memorized all aspects of the battle.
Moreover, even if Bai Feng forgot the details, the system still had a huge database of modern knowledge.
Cao Ren was completely convinced by Bai Feng.
Previously, Cao Ren thought that Bai Feng was just a magician who only knew how to speculate. He didn't expect Bai Feng's military strategy to directly break through Cao Ren's understanding!
Cao Ren quickly thanked Bai Feng, but Bai Feng's mind wasn't here.
This battle was the battle that made Zhuge Liang famous, but since you've provoked me, Bai Feng, then I'm sorry, but times have changed.
So what if you, Zhuge Liang, are resourceful and almost demonic? Can you compare to the thousands of years of military strategy of the future? Can you compare to a drop in the ocean of knowledge provided by the system?
What a joke!
If they didn't burn down Xinye City, then he would be content to be a carefree tycoon, eating, drinking, and playing every day. But now, they wanted to burn everything he had and even chase him away with a few copper coins.
You spoke of benevolence, righteousness, and morality, but in the end, you sacrificed others for your own success.
Then I'm sorry, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, you've suffered!
What chain stratagem, empty fort stratagem?
I'll even curse you to death the way you, Zhuge Liang, cursed Wang Lang to death back then!
If I can't win against you, I'll diss you together with Boss Cao!
If you burn down Yiling, I'll burn down Chengdu!
Cao Ren still hadn't come back to his senses. His mind was filled with the scene described by Bai Feng.
Thinking back to how Xiahou Dun reported the crushing defeat, Cao Ren was very clear that everything described by Bai Feng was absolutely possible!
This stratagem after stratagem that could put one in a desperate situation was simply not something a human could come up with!
But now, what kind of person could see through these stratagems so easily?!
Cao Ren stared straight at Bai Feng.
At this moment, the moonlight just happened to shine on Bai Feng's body. For a moment, Cao Ren felt as if Bai Feng was glowing.
A celestial being!
Cao Ren trembled as he knelt on one knee, cupped his hands, and said,
"Se … Sir, you were able to see through Zhuge Liang's stratagem so easily. Who exactly are you? Zixiao is sincerely convinced! "
Although Boss Cao did have some eccentricities when it came to women, Cao Ren was well aware of how much he cherished talents.
Cao Ren knew very well that with the Prime Minister's personality, if he knew of such a talented person, he would definitely treat him as a guest of honor. When that time came, he might even have to listen to his orders blindly.
This time, Cao Ren was completely convinced. He directly bowed to Bai Feng.
Not to mention how Cao Cao would treat Bai Feng, just the fact that his stratagem was broken was tantamount to saving his life.
"General Cao, what are you doing? Please get up quickly!"
Bai Feng did not expect Cao Ren to kneel directly in front of him. He reached out and helped him up.
"My name is Bai Feng, Feng as in maple leaf. I'm just a villager from the mountains, not worth mentioning."
Cao Ren's face twitched when he heard these words.
Brother, will you die if you don't show off?
If someone like you is called a villager from the mountains, then wouldn't someone like me be worse than a dog?
Although Cao Ren cursed in his heart, he was influenced by Cao Cao and was very respectful of talented people. He quickly said, "Sir, please don't joke with me.
"Sir, please don't joke around. Today, you saw through Zhuge Liang's scheme and saved Zixiao's life. After this battle, Zixiao must introduce you to the Prime Minister."
"But …"
Bai Feng smiled slightly.
"Are you worried about the way to break the stratagem?"
Cao Ren was overjoyed and said, "Yes.
Sir, you really can foresee things like a god. "
Bai Feng was speechless. Cao Ren was definitely a fanatic who chased after celebrities in the modern world. Based on the current situation, anyone could see that.
"Do we have no choice but to retreat?"
Cao Ren slapped his thigh and whispered.
Bai Feng sneered.
