"That's right."
Bai Feng nodded. He had indeed said that before.
Da Qiao continued, "Jingzhou is not safe.
"Jingzhou is not safe. I need to go north with you."
At this point, Bai Feng frowned slightly.
Why did Da Qiao suddenly want to go to the north?
Da Qiao grew up in the south. She would not be familiar with the climate in the north.
In this era, there was no such thing as floor heating. How could a woman survive without firewood at home?
But Da Qiao looked serious. She did not seem to be joking.
Seeing that Bai Feng was silent, Da Qiao continued, "What?
Are you going to go back on your word? "
Bai Feng shook his head and said, "I never go back on my word.
But are you sure you want to go to the north? Don't you care about Sun Shao's safety? "
Da Qiao smiled bitterly.
"Now that I've written this book for you, the people of Jiangdong will not let me stay. My presence here is the biggest threat to Shao 'er."
Hearing this, Bai Feng nodded slightly.
As expected, Da Qiao was very smart. Now that the Cao Army was at war with Jiangdong, the spies of Jiangdong would definitely extend their claws to Jingzhou, which was closest to them.
Although Da Qiao's location was remote, there was still a possibility that she would be discovered.
If she was discovered, the spies of Jiangdong would probably kill Da Qiao on the spot.
Moreover, Sun Quan would be able to confirm that Da Qiao was indeed alive. This would be a nightmare for Sun Shao.
"Can I, Mr. Bai?"
Da Qiao looked at Bai Feng expressionlessly and continued to ask.
Bai Feng was slightly stunned. It seemed that Da Qiao had done her homework these days. She had actually found out some information about him.
Bai Feng nodded.
"I promised to take you out of Jingzhou, but once we reach the north, your life and death will have nothing to do with me."
Da Qiao smiled faintly.
"It's a deal."
The next day.
Even though the Ferocious Cavalry was moving as fast as they could, Bai Feng still felt that they were moving too slowly.
According to the intelligence brought by the spies, Zhuge Liang had set off at least two or three days ago.
Therefore, Bai Feng was certain that Zhuge Liang was after Xu Chang.
If it was only Jingzhou, how could it not take two to three days?
Therefore, the current situation was rather grim. Not only did they have to catch up with the Shu army that had set off in advance, they also had to try their best to avoid the official roads and use the small paths to outflank them.
Furthermore, they did not know where the Shu army was.
Everything that had happened was beyond Bai Feng's expectations.
At the start, Bai Feng only thought about solving the problem of the Battle of Red Cliff and neglected Zhuge Liang.
If it were not for the fact that Zhuge Liang and Jiangdong were in a passive state from Xinye to Red Cliff, he definitely would not have taken such a step of no return.
One must know that Liu Bei only had Jiangxia, and it was in a great location. It was easy to defend and hard to attack.
At this moment, Liu Bei could use this city to slowly develop and recruit troops.
After all, even without the fire, Jiangdong was not easy to take down.
When the sandpiper and clam fight, the fisherman would benefit, and Shu Han might not fall.
However, attacking Xu Chang and abandoning Jiangxia would be a battle of life and death.
However, if he could obtain the help of the Western Liang army, there was a high chance that he would succeed.
However, in history, the Shu army and the Western Liang army had not interacted. At this moment, Bai Feng was not sure if the Western Liang army would help Liu Bei.
At this moment, Xu Chang.
Xun You was sitting leisurely in front of the hall, reading a book.
This job in Xu Chang was really easy. Xu Chang was surrounded by the Cao Army. It was in a strategic location and no one dared to invade.
"I don't know why uncle is following the prime minister."
Xun You shook his head and continued to talk to himself.
"This kind of leisurely job just happens to give me the time to read some sage books. Why bother to go to Jingzhou, which is in the abyss of suffering?"
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps.
Following which, a soldier knelt in front of Xun You breathlessly.
"Reporting … reporting to Lord Xun!"
Xun You slowly stood up and said,
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
The soldier took a deep breath and picked up a war report.
"The Western Liang army has made a move! They are rushing towards Xu Chang! "
"What?!"
Xun You's eyes widened as he stood up straight and snatched the report.
Although Xun You liked to be leisurely, he still had to do his job. Western Liang was the only threat to Xu Chang.
Xun You had already sent people to keep an eye on Western Liang's movements.
Although he knew that the Western Liang army was good at long-distance raids, this was too fast.
Moreover, it was like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood. Xun You's report had just arrived and they were only a few dozen kilometers away from Xu Chang!
"Ma Teng seems to have planned this!"
Xun You frowned and looked nervous.
"Should we inform the prime minister?"
When the soldier saw this, he hurriedly suggested.
Xun You shook his head and said,
"At this time, the prime minister is in the battle of Red Cliff with Jiangdong. Even if he can withdraw and come to support, with the speed of the Western Liang army, I'm afraid that Xu Chang has already been breached."
"Moreover, if we ask for help, we will delay the prime minister's great cause of Jiangdong. I'm afraid that we will end up in a situation where we will be injured on both sides!"
Xun You thought hard about how to solve this problem.
The soldiers and horses that Xu Chang could use now added up to a little more than ten thousand. Even if the defenders of other cities could arrive in time, there would only be about forty thousand soldiers.
Moreover, these soldiers were not elites. Most of them were city guards and their combat strength was far inferior to the elite army that the prime minister used to attack Jiangdong.
With such a force, how could they defend against the menacing and premeditated 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry?
Ma Teng was not a mediocre person. His ability as a commander was also quite good. In addition, the Western Liang people were good at horsemanship. They would have an advantage in this battle on the plains.
Just as Xun You was worrying about the speed of the reinforcements, there was a rush of footsteps.
"Report!"
The soldier was also panting. It seemed that he had something important to report.
However, what could be more important than the invasion of the Western Liang army?
Xun You frowned slightly and said,
"Speak."
The soldier pointed to the south and his voice was almost broken.
"Lord Xun, there is a report from the southern cities that Liu Bei Army has bypassed most of the cities and is heading east. It seems that they are going to meet up with the Western Liang army!"
"Liu Bei? How many soldiers does he have? "
Xun You's face twitched. It was really a case of when it rains, it pours.
The soldier swallowed his saliva and stretched out his trembling finger, "More than thirty thousand, not less."
This time, Xun You directly staggered and almost fell. Two soldiers quickly supported Xun You.
"This time, Xu Chang is really going to fall!"
Xun You looked up and sighed.
