"Zihe! How many Ferocious Cavalry soldiers do we have in the city? "
Bai Feng ignored the shocked crowd and turned to whisper to Cao Chun.
The most important thing now was not to see the problem, but to solve it!
Although Cao Chun said that there were less than ten thousand soldiers, he did not dare to give a specific number to appease the crowd.
Bai Feng had estimated that there were less than ten thousand Ferocious Cavalry soldiers in the city!
Cao Chun hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the determination in Bai Feng's eyes, he quickly cupped his hands and said,
"Reporting to Lord Bai, there are about … five thousand Ferocious Cavalry soldiers in the city."
"Five thousand?!"
The landowning households were in an uproar.
Cao Chun had said that there were about ten thousand Ferocious Cavalry soldiers. The difference between seven thousand and ten thousand was not small! It was less than half!
Bai Feng paid no attention to the landowning households. After a moment of thought, he said,
"Take all the Ferocious Cavalry soldiers in the city and immediately follow me to reinforce Xu Chang!"
"Ah?"
Cao Chun could not believe his ears.
The landowning household sitting at the very front slapped the table and shouted,
"Bai Feng! What are you trying to do?! "
"The Prime Minister is not in the city. Although he ordered us to listen to your orders, do you think you can mobilize the Ferocious Cavalry?!"
The other landowning households also stood up and began to criticize him.
"That's right. We only know that Liu Bei is heading east. Who can be sure that they are going to attack Xu Chang?"
"That Ma Teng of Xiliang might not help Liu Bei. How can you be so sure?!"
"If Liu Bei only wants to take advantage of the chaos to attack Jingzhou, wouldn't you be handing Jingzhou over to Liu Bei if you take all the soldiers with you?"
"What a narrow-minded man!"
"…"
Even Jia Xu stood up and clasped his hands to Bai Feng.
"Mr Bai, you must not!"
"Just as the scholar-officials have said, all of this is just a guess. We should discuss it in detail."
Cheng Yu added:
"That's right, Mr. Bai. If you mobilized the Ferocious Cavalry without the Prime Minister's permission, not only you, but even General Cao Chun will be punished!"
"This is a crime punishable by death!"
Cao Chun wanted to say something, but he had just been appointed by the Prime Minister to lead the Ferocious Cavalry, so he didn't dare to overstep his authority.
Xun Yu pondered for a moment before replying.
"In that case, we will first inform the Prime Minister of this matter and let the Prime Minister make a decision. We will also send soldiers to investigate and see where the Shu Army is going. When everything is confirmed, it will not be too late to send troops to help Xu Chang!"
Bai Feng was too lazy to explain.
Zhuge Liang had been planning this for a long time. This time, he would definitely attack Xuchang at full speed.
At this time, Boss Cao was still fighting and was extremely busy. It would take a long time for the battle report to arrive. If they waited for the Boss Cao to say that it was done, then they would go and help.
Everything would be too late!
Xuchang wasn't just a city. It was also the headquarters of the entire Cao Army.
Moreover, Liu Xie was also there!
If Xuchang was defeated and the Emperor was' rescued 'by Liu Bei.
At that time, no matter how powerful the Boss Cao was, he wouldn't be able to reverse the situation and would gradually decline!
If he let Liu Bei have his way, how would he be able to take revenge?
Thinking of this, Bai Feng didn't say anything else. He took out a golden seal and slammed it on the table!
The Tiger Seal!
Although everyone was arguing, when they saw the small golden seal, they all fell silent!
What was the Tiger Seal? It was equivalent to the imperial seal in the military camp!
No matter who it was, as long as they had this Tiger Seal, it meant that they had the authority to command the army! No matter what, they had to listen to this person's orders!
"Mr Bai, why is this Tiger Seal in your hands?"
Cheng Yu asked in surprise.
Bai Feng said in a low voice.
"Before I left, the Prime Minister told me that if I find anything strange, I can act first and report later. I can use this Tiger Seal to command the Ferocious Cavalry!"
"If you try to stop me again, I won't let you off easily!"
Now that Bai Feng said this, no one dared to refute him.
Previously, Bai Feng's identity was nothing more than a small Imperial Censor to the nobles. Although the Prime Minister gave him the authority to manage all internal affairs, the nobles were still nobles.
The nobles didn't like Bai Feng from the bottom of their hearts.
But with this Tiger Seal, things were different.
The Tiger Seal was a symbol of power!
With the Tiger Seal, it was equivalent to having the highest authority in the Cao Army!
At this time, if there were still people who raised objections, Bai Feng would give the order and that person's head would roll!
This wasn't just empty talk.
Although Cao Chun also had the Tiger Seal, it was completely different from the one in Bai Feng's hands.
Cao Chun's Tiger Seal was made of pure silver. It was true that it could command thousands of soldiers, but it was only a commander's seal.
The Tiger Seal in Bai Feng's hands was the real Cao Cao's Tiger Seal!
The two were two completely different concepts!
The holder of the Tiger Seal was like the Prime Minister himself. Who would dare to object?
Everyone was in an uproar.
Before leaving, the Prime Minister had repeatedly told them to follow Bai Feng's orders in the city.
But the Prime Minister didn't mention a word about giving the Tiger Seal to Bai Feng!
"Soldiers, listen to my order. Immediately march to the rescue of Xuchang!"
Bai Feng didn't want to waste any time and ordered Cao Chun.
"Yes!"
Cao Chun hurriedly knelt down and saluted. Then, he turned around and went to mobilize the troops.
"Lord Bai, please wait!"
Just as Bai Feng came down from the hall, the nobles stopped him again.
At this time, a scholar-official walked over and said in a low voice,
"Lord Bai, you've led all the guards out of the city. Let's not talk about whether Liu Bei will invade."
"If the surrounding bandits take the opportunity to invade, we'll be defenseless."
"Even if Liu Bei has his eyes on Xuchang, if we lose Jingzhou because of this, I'm afraid that even if you have the Prime Minister's Tiger Seal, you can't bear the responsibility of acting first and reporting later, right?"
Bai Feng narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice,
"What's your name?"
When that person heard this, he thought that Bai Feng had listened to his advice. He shook his head, stroked his beard, and said with a smile,
"My surname is Chen Deng, and my courtesy name is Yuanlong. I'm …"
Before he could finish, Bai Feng suddenly drew his sword from his waist and slit Chen Deng's neck.
Immediately, the surrounding nobles screamed and fled. They couldn't wait to get as far away from Bai Feng as possible.
"You! You bastard! How dare you kill a nobleman?! "
A scholar-official shrank his neck and said in a trembling voice.
Bai Feng glanced at him and said in a low voice,
"I said, if anyone dares to stop me, don't blame me for being impolite."
At this time, Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the sword in Bai Feng's hand. Suddenly, he said,
"This … this is the Dark Sword!"
"What?"
The surrounding scholar-officials all exclaimed in surprise. They all looked at the sword in Bai Feng's hand.
