"You'd rather die on the battlefield than leave a bad name in the world. I'll let you live. If I see you on the battlefield again, I won't show you any mercy."
Bai Feng's words made everyone confused. They didn't expect Bai Feng to make such a decision.
Although Bai Feng was known as the Divine General, everyone understood the logic of letting a tiger go back to the mountain.
Everyone was unwilling to accept Bai Feng's decision, but they couldn't do anything about it.
"Thank you for showing mercy, General Bai. If we meet again on the battlefield, I'll definitely repay your kindness."
After saying this, Zhang Liao led the remaining soldiers to escape toward Xinye.
"Sir, why did you let Zhang Liao go? He's smart. If you let him go today, he'll definitely become a huge threat to our army."
Bai Feng ignored Cao Ren's words. He glanced at Cao Ren before turning to leave.
"Clean up the battlefield. Go back and rest. Tomorrow, I'll cook sheep and slaughter cattle to reward everyone …"
The entire army began to cheer. Their voices echoed throughout the entire valley, as if the ground itself was shaking.
After returning to his tent, Zhang Liao walked into Bai Feng's tent in confusion.
"Why didn't you kill Zhang Liao just now? Why did you let him go?"
In response to Cao Ren's confusion, Bai Feng took a sip of tea.
"Don't you know? This man of sacrifice and Zhang Liang are two different people. They're just pawns for someone else."
After hearing Bai Feng's explanation, Cao Ren was even more confused.
"You're so reckless. Why don't you use your brain? It's a pity if we let Zhang Liao go like this."
This time, Cao Ren was even more confused. "It's a pity. If we let him go, who knows how many generals he'll kill in the future."
Then, Bai Feng patiently explained to Cao Ren.
"Do you know where Deng Ai and Jiang Wei are going? I ordered them to attack Xinye."
After hearing Bai Feng's words, Cao Ren faintly understood it, "It turns out that you've known what these people did from the beginning. It turns out that you're just acting. Hahaha …"
In response to Cao Ren's praise, Bai Feng glared fiercely at him. "You brat, you're really a boorish person. Originally, it was a good sentence, but when it came out of your mouth, its flavor changed."
Cao Ren didn't explain. He just smiled and scratched his head. Cao Ren was completely convinced by Bai Feng's divine foresight.
Xinye is Lu Bu's place of residence and it will definitely be heavily guarded.
In addition, Lu Bu was brave and skilled in battle. He also had the Red Hare. Would Jiang Wei and the others be a match for him?
Cao Ren was very confused. How could Deng Ai and Jiang Wei's troops defeat Lu Bu? Wasn't that just a fool's dream? "
"Oh you, calling you a boorish person isn't an exaggeration. You should use your brain more."
Jiang Wei and Deng Ai attacked Xinye in batches. They used the tactic of attrition warfare to tire out Lu Bu's troops.
Their sons and daughters were born fighters. They were skilled in martial arts, but they didn't have outstanding intelligence.
As long as they took advantage of Lu Bu's arrogance, it would be much easier to deal with him.
"If I order Jiang Wei to attack Xinye under Zhang Liao's banner, what do you think will happen?"
At this moment, Cao Ren finally understood.
"Lu Bu is a narrow-minded person. He will definitely think that Zhang Liao has betrayed him. He will definitely see him as an enemy."
When that time comes, Zhang Liao will be cornered and the two of them will fight to the death.
"Cao Ren is seriously analyzing the situation in front of him."
However, Bai Feng didn't agree with Cao Ren.
Xue Xi explained to Cao Ren again. "The reason why I let Jiang Wei and Deng Ai attack Lu Bu is to make Lu Bu hate Zhang Liao. I don't think that those few troops will be enough to defeat Lu Bu."
As the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Lu Bu was a general of an army.
Not to mention that he didn't have a smart brain, his strength alone was one of the best in the current era.
If he teamed up with Jiang Wei and Deng Ai, they would at most be able to fight him to a draw.
However, Lu Bu's subordinates weren't incompetent. Lu Bu was a person who paid attention to the strength of his army.
Although Lu Bu's army didn't have outstanding brains, they had outstanding strength.
There was no need to doubt this.
If Lu Bu wanted Zhang Liao to take the initiative to join him.
He must first completely destroy the relationship between him and Lu Bu.
"Sir, your strategy of sowing discord is really ingenious …"
It was only at this point that Cao Ren slowly understood.
However, Bai Feng also gave Cao Ren a look of approval.
Then, there was another question that troubled Cao Ren.
That was, would Zhang Liao come to join Lu Bu after being defeated by him?
Countless question marks once again lingered in Cao Ren's mind.
However, Bai Feng didn't explain further.
In fact, by now, the basic answer had already surfaced.
After Zhang Liao returned, he would definitely be hunted down by Lu Bu.
However, Zhang Liao, who was hunted down by Lu Bu, would definitely hate Lu Bu.
A general with absolute strength and wisdom couldn't just hide from the world like this.
As the saying goes, a fine steed is common, but a talent scout is rare.
And Bai Feng was Zhang Liao's talent scout. Back then, Zhang Liao was only interested in Lu Bu's ancient book and didn't agree to Bai Feng's invitation.
Following this, the last of his worries were completely resolved.
So, what else could stop Zhang Liao's determination to join Bai Feng?
The answer was none.
"You've been tired for a day. Go back and rest. Tomorrow, we'll cook the lamb and slaughter the cow and wait for the triumphant return of Jiang Wei and Deng Ai."
Cao Ren left the tent in confusion.
He still didn't understand Bai Feng's actions.
… …
"Prime Minister, that Lu Bu's battle prowess is really quite impressive. Deng Ai and I joined hands and barely managed to tie with him."
At this time, Jiang Wei was reporting the specific details of the battle to Bai Feng with a serious face.
It seemed that this battle was a bit too much of a blow to Deng Ai and Jiang Wei.
The two who originally thought that they were powerless became a lot more humble at this time.
Looking at the two at this time, they had already hidden their sharpness.
Bai Feng nodded with satisfaction.
"There are two reasons why I let the two of you launch the attack."
First, Bai Feng wanted to temper Deng Ai and Jiang Wei's tempers. Because the two of them could be called capable generals, it was inevitable that they would have a lot of arguments on many issues.
Second, Bai Feng wanted to subdue Zhang Liao, who was like Jiang Wei, and force Lu Bu's anger on Yang Xiu.
This plan of killing three birds with one stone was executed seamlessly.
Bai Feng obviously didn't participate in anything, but he was able to strategize and win the battle from a thousand miles away.
A simple move was all it took to resolve the situation at hand.
However, the reason why Bai Feng told them the truth.
To a large extent, he wanted to broaden their horizons.
