"Report!"
While Bai Feng was thinking, a soldier suddenly barged in.
Bai Feng waved his hand, and the soldier hurriedly said:
"Reporting to my lords, the merchants of Jiangxia just reported that Liu Bei has led all his men and left Jiangxia!"
"Although Jiangxia doesn't look any different right now, it's already an empty city!"
Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice:
"Did you see where they went? Are they going to Jiangdong? "
The soldier said:
"They are not going to Jiangdong, they are going to the east."
"What?"
Even Jia Xu, who had been silent all this while, had a slight change in expression at this moment.
"They are going to the east …"
"Aren't they marching to Jingzhou?"
Hearing this, Cao Chun hurriedly exclaimed:
"What?! But our troops are all Ferocious Cavalry, and there are less than ten thousand of them! "
Xun Yu touched his chin and said:
"I didn't see any Shu troops in this battle, which means …"
Cheng Yu put his palms together and whispered:
"Currently, we know that Jiangxia has thirty thousand troops. They are going to besiege Wei to save Zhao."
"General Cao, can our army resist the attack of thirty thousand Shu troops?"
Cao Chun clenched his fists and said in a low voice:
"Although our Ferocious Cavalry is elite, we are good at offense, not defense."
"The soldiers under General Cao Ren are good at defense, but they are all going to Jiangdong with the Prime Minister!"
Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.
The nobles were so scared that their faces turned green.
"What? That is to say, our army can't resist at all?! "
"What should we do? Now that most of us are in Jiangdong, aren't we going to die for our country?! "
"Even if the heavens want me to die …"
"…"
Hearing the nobles sigh, the strategists were angry but didn't dare to say anything.
At this time, Bai Feng sneered:
"If you are afraid, you can go and join the Shu army!"
The nobles immediately turned from sadness to anger.
"What? You brat, what are you talking about? "
"We eat the Prime Minister's salary and work hard. How can we be the kind of people who are afraid of death?"
"Bah! I think it's you, the good-for-nothing Bai, who wants to surrender!"
"…"
Bai Feng didn't think much of it. He reached out to wipe the table and continued.
"You still know that you are eating the Prime Minister's salary?"
"The Shu Army has not arrived yet, and all of you are complaining. If you are in the army, won't you be blamed for disturbing the morale of the army?"
"If you are unwilling to surrender, then shut your mouths!"
When Bai Feng said the last sentence, he was filled with killing intent. Everyone was shocked into silence.
Even people like Jia Xu and Xun Yu didn't dare to breathe too loudly.
Jia Xu muttered in his heart:
This Bai Feng is so bold! Compared to when Dong Zhuo swept through the Western Liang when he was young, he was even stronger!
Cao Chun hurriedly came over and whispered,
"Sir, please don't be angry. Please advise us on how to deal with this situation."
Bai Feng sat down and said disapprovingly,
"Deal with? Why should we deal with it? "
Cao Chun was stunned. What's wrong with Mr Bai? The army is coming. Why don't we deal with it?
Bai Feng saw that everyone was confused and continued.
"What I mean is that Liu Bei is not coming for us. Why should we deal with it?"
"What?!"
Xun Yu's eyes widened.
"Sir Bai, what do you mean?"
Bai Feng sneered.
When they were arguing just now, Bai Feng had been thinking. The army suddenly disappeared without a word. Was it really to besiege Wei to save Zhao?
Although most of the Cao Army's forces were in Jiangdong, they could rush back very quickly. Jingzhou was not without soldiers. It was not difficult to resist the Cao Army.
It was just that the attack on Jiangdong would be put on hold.
However, if they succeeded this time, Jiangdong would have no way to deal with the Cao Army next time. Moreover, the Cao Army had experienced naval battles. They were not as inexperienced as they were the first time and would attack more fiercely.
At that time, Liu Bei would not be able to use the same trick again.
With Zhuge Liang's intelligence, it was impossible for him to be so short-sighted.
"Sir Bai."
Cheng Yu said with a sour expression.
"Now is not the time to joke. Liu Bei has an army of thirty thousand! If the attack on Jiangdong fails because of our failure to defend the city, even you won't be able to withstand the Prime Minister's anger. "
Xun Yu agreed.
"Yes, the Prime Minister has put in a lot of effort to attack Jiangdong. Mr Bai, you should know about this."
Even Cao Chun, who trusted Bai Feng the most, did not know what to say.
Bai Feng sneered and said,
"Do you really think that Zhuge Liang is so short-sighted that he only wants to protect Jiangdong?"
"What do you mean?"
Cheng Yu and the others asked.
Bai Feng pointed at the map. Everyone looked at it and found that it was Xu Chang's location.
"Sir, do you mean that Liu Bei wants to attack Xu Chang?"
Cao Chun asked.
Bai Feng nodded slightly.
At this time, Jia Xu clapped his hands and said,
"Mr Bai is really good! I didn't say anything for a long time just now because I was thinking about this. "
"I know a little about Zhuge Liang's character. He is not as short-sighted as Xu You who only thinks about what is in front of him."
"This time, he has turned out in full force. He even intends to abandon Jiangxia. Obviously, he has a bigger plan."
"But I really don't know that he wants to attack Xu Chang."
Hearing Jia Xu's words, everyone came to a realization, and the gazes of the landowning households below towards Bai Feng gradually changed.
The enemy was suspected to be in front of him and he could die at any time, but he was calm and thought about the real intention of the enemy.
How terrifying was Bai Feng?!
"But there is a little doubt."
Xun Yu said in a low voice,
"The military strength of Xu Chang is not like that of Jingzhou. It is impossible for Liu Bei to pass through our territory and go straight to Xu Chang with only 30,000 soldiers."
Bai Feng smiled and said,
"What if there is help from outside?"
Hearing Bai Feng's words, Xun Yu was puzzled.
"Outside? How can Liu Bei have outside help in the north? "
Bai Feng continued,
"The Prime Minister has indeed taken over the Central Plains, but what about Ma Teng of Xiliang?"
"If he attacks Xu Chang with Ma Teng of Xiliang, what do you think the chances of success are?"
"Ma Teng?!"
Xun Yu was completely dumbfounded.
At present, only his nephew, Xun You, was guarding Xu Chang. There were also tens of thousands of soldiers, and there were soldiers in all the surrounding cities. They could indeed resist Liu Bei's attack.
But Ma Teng, who had been silent for a long time, was forgotten by Xun Yu and the others.
The Xiliang Army was different from Liu Bei's. They had more than 100,000 soldiers.
If the Xiliang Army joined the battle and cooperated with Liu Bei, it would not be difficult to take down Xu Chang.
Moreover, the elites in Jiangdong could not come at all.
Not only Xun Yu, but Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, and the others were also stunned.
