Man Chong?
Bai Feng felt a sense of familiarity when he heard this name.
Man Chong could be considered one of Boss Cao's generals. He was completely different from the unknown governor of Xiangyang.
Man Chong's army was very organized. When Cao Ren was defending Fan City, he helped him from the side. It could be said that Man Chong played at least 40% of the role in defending Fan City.
"General Man? What business do you have here? "
Bai Feng put away the map and cupped his hands to Man Chong.
Man Chong frowned and said in a low voice,
"In the last few days, our army has discovered a group of thieves, but we're not sure where they came from. I heard that Xuchang has been besieged."
"Did Sir come for this matter?"
Bai Feng nodded.
"Since General Man knows about this, why don't you send reinforcements?"
Man Chong sighed.
"The Prime Minister wants to attack Jiangdong. The elites of the nearby cities have already been taken away, leaving only the old, weak, and sick to defend the city. They truly are powerless."
Man Chong fiercely hammered his fist.
A good general's greatest worry was not having enough soldiers.
Fan City was extremely close to Xuchang. If Xuchang was in trouble, it would be one of the first cities to send reinforcements. Alas, it didn't even have one thousand soldiers capable of fighting.
"Indeed, the Western Liang soldiers have been conserving their strength for so long. Even if we send out all the soldiers in Fan City, it will be like pouring a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood."
Bai Feng sighed and shook his head.
"Sir must be tired from the campaign. I heard General Cao Ren mention you before. With Sir here, we might still have a chance to turn the situation around."
Man Chong's eyes suddenly turned red as he looked at Bai Feng.
"Sir, Xuchang is the lifeline of our army. If we lose it, our army's morale will suffer a major blow. Boning is incompetent and can't protect the mountains and rivers. Everything depends on Sir."
Man Chong suddenly got down on one knee.
This caused Bai Feng to be rather surprised.
Man Chong, someone of his status in the Cao Army, was actually bowing to him!
Although Man Chong was only a governor, in terms of military service, Man Chong's actual rank and reputation were probably on par with his.
"General Man, please rise. We are here to resolve the situation in Xu Chang. This is part of our duty. There is no need for this. "
Bai Feng immediately helped Man Chong up and said.
Man Chong gritted his teeth and said,
"Sir, there are still too few Tiger Leopard Cavalry. I haven't been idle these few days. After receiving Gongda's urgent report, I tried my best to prepare the soldiers of the surrounding cities."
"It's just that the surrounding cities are almost the same as Fan City. There are at most a thousand soldiers who can fight, and all of them are infantry. It'll take a long time to reach Xuchang."
"If Mister can lead the Ferocious Cavalry to contend with the thief army and protect Xuchang from being breached, our reinforcements will definitely arrive as soon as possible!"
This was definitely good news! Naturally, the more soldiers there were, the better.
The Xi Liang Army and Liu Bei Army had more than a hundred thousand people!
No matter how good the Ferocious Cavalry was, they would not be able to chase the Western Liang Army away.
Bai Feng was overjoyed. He cupped his hands and said,
"Thank you, Boning!"
At the same time, Jiangdong Red Cliff battlefield.
At this moment, the battle had reached its climax.
Although the Cao Army had more people and better equipment than Jiangdong, the ship was still very unstable.
However, as the iron chains were untied, the ship was extremely unstable. The archers often vomited while aiming, and some soldiers were even seriously dehydrated.
In such an anxious situation, this was extremely fatal!
However, Jiangdong was not having an easy time either. Due to the disadvantage in numbers, even though the navy was experienced, they could not withstand the waves of arrows from the Cao Army.
Zhou Yu could only try his best to ensure that the soldiers suffered the least amount of casualties and stop the Cao Army from advancing.
Although Cao Cao no longer had a headache, he could not withstand the constant shaking of the ship. He would occasionally return to his room to rest.
At this moment, Cao Cao saw a small boat rushing towards him.
"It's a messenger! Is there a battle in Jingzhou? "
Cao Cao was shocked and quickly ordered the soldiers to welcome them.
After a few days of back and forth battles, Cao Cao noticed a problem.
Only the Jiangdong Army was fighting, but there was no sign of the "Liu" flag!
Where did Liu Bei go?
This was the question that Cao Cao was most worried about.
Liu Bei had always been a threat to Cao Cao, but there was no way to get rid of him.
Previously, in order to win the hearts of the people, Cao Cao gave up the best chance to kill Liu Bei.
Could it be that Liu Bei made a move on Jingzhou?
The messenger quickly arrived at Cao Cao's room. He did not even have time to catch his breath as he hurriedly handed the urgent report to Cao Cao.
"Prime Minister … … Jingzhou urgent report!"
"What?"
Cao Cao was shocked. He did not expect the thing he was most worried about to happen.
"What did Wen Ruo say?"
Cao Cao hurriedly asked as he took the urgent report.
"Liu Bei led the army and left Jiangxia. Jiangxia is currently empty."
"Bai Feng guessed that Liu Bei wanted to attack Xuchang and insisted on leading the army there. We tried our best to dissuade him, but Bai Feng killed Chen Deng with his Azure Sword. At this time, he has led the Ferocious Cavalry north with General Cao Chun."
Cao Cao immediately frowned.
Bai Feng wanted to rebel?!
Liu Bei was mobilizing the entire city to take Jingzhou, but Bai Feng said that he wanted to attack Xuchang?
With Liu Bei's meager forces, even reaching Xuchang would be a problem. How could he attack?
Cao Cao's face slowly began to twitch.
"Report!"
At this moment, another soldier suddenly entered Cao Cao's room.
"Prime Minister, Lord Xun has an urgent report!"
Cao Cao slightly frowned.
"Didn't the urgent report from Jingzhou already arrive? Did Wen Ruo send another one? "
The soldier hurriedly replied.
"Prime Minister, this report is from Xuchang. It was sent by Lord Xun You!"
Cao Cao was shocked and hurriedly opened the urgent report.
"Prime Minister, please inform me."
"This time, Liu Bei, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and the others of Xiliang are attacking Xuchang. They are expected to arrive in less than a day."
"Our forces are weak. I'm afraid we won't be able to last long. I've already sent people to escort the Emperor and Young Master out of the city."
Xun You didn't mention asking Cao Cao to lead the army back to defend Xuchang.
Because it was too late!
The soldiers who had just been in the battle suddenly retreated. Coupled with the fatigue from the journey, even if they could reach Xuchang before it was breached, it would be useless.
Cao Cao was completely dumbfounded.
Liu Bei actually went to attack Xuchang?!
Bai Feng really didn't rebel, but when did Liu Bei collude with Xiliang?
Cao Cao found it harder to accept that Xuchang was besieged than that of Jingzhou.
Jingzhou and Xuchang were two completely different concepts. If he took Jiangdong and surrounded the northern cities, it would only be a matter of time before he lost Jingzhou and took it back.
But Xuchang was different.
