Just as Shanyue and Jiangdong were preparing for war in full swing.
Meanwhile, in Xuchang.
Bai Feng had just returned to Xuchang when the sky had already darkened.
After settling Ling Ju, Sun Shangxiang, and Lv Lingqi down, Bai Feng decided to pay a visit to Cao Cao first.
However, before Bai Feng could leave, Cao Cao's guard heard that Bai Feng had returned and hurried over.
"Wei Emperor is looking for you. Please go to Wei Emperor's study."
This was exactly what Bai Feng wanted. After changing into a clean set of clothes, he headed to Wei Emperor's Palace.
However, just as he arrived at Cao Cao's Wei Emperor's Palace, Bai Feng spotted two familiar figures.
Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu!
Good heavens, these two people are really haunting me!
Why do I always run into them whenever I go out?
However, these two people did not see Bai Feng. After walking out of Wei Emperor's Palace, they left in a hurry.
Cao Zhi's expression did not look too good, but he could not say anything at this point.
Bai Feng could not be bothered to find trouble with them. He went straight to Wei Emperor's Palace and headed to Cao Cao's study.
"Hahahaha, Sir, you're finally back!"
"I already know about what happened in the Northern Region."
"Zixiao is very willing to go and defend the Northern Region. I've asked him to bring another twenty thousand soldiers as reinforcements. This time, we must keep the Qiang people and foreign tribes at bay!"
Cao Cao's expression was still a little gloomy when he saw Bai Feng.
When he saw Bai Feng, he immediately chuckled.
Bai Feng could not help but feel puzzled.
Cao Cao must have called Yang Xiu over just now.
However, seeing that the father and son both looked so gloomy, what exactly did they talk about?
"Wei Emperor is wise! However, I feel that instead of blocking them outside the door, it would be better to eliminate them directly. "
Bai Feng said with a faint smile.
Cao Cao laughed bitterly.
"That's easy to say, but it's easier said than done."
"Sun Quan and Liu Bei are moving so quickly!"
"In such a short period of time, they actually conquered a territory in Jingzhou!"
"If we continue to wait like this, I'm afraid their territory will surpass mine."
"Therefore, I will lead my troops out in a few days and wipe them all out!"
After saying that, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh softly and say:
"Speaking of which, it's also my fault. Because of this, your marriage with Jie 'er has to be delayed again."
Bai Feng just smiled and did not respond.
Cao Cao's words were meant for him to hear.
The marriage was delayed probably because Cao Zhi or Cao Pi said something to Cao Cao.
If he directly chose to leave Xuchang, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's plan would probably be ruined during this period of time.
At present, Cao Cao had already produced quite a number of hand grenades and firearms. He was itching to get rid of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, the two thorns in his flesh.
Therefore, this was the result.
However, Bai Feng did not mind.
Cao Cao waved his hand and said:
"Teacher, when the time comes, I will send all the troops available to attack. You must participate in the battle."
When Bai Feng heard this, he shook his head with a smile and said:
"Wei Emperor, I think that compared to attacking the Sun Liu Alliance, I have more important things to do."
When Cao Cao heard this, his expression froze.
What?
What could be more important than getting rid of Sun Quan and Liu Bei?
When Bai Feng saw this, he continued:
"Wei Emperor, I think that now that we have guns and grenades, the soldiers have learned a lot about how to use them."
"Furthermore, Wei Emperor has many powerful generals under his command. Actually, it makes no difference whether I go or not."
"Rather than that, I would like to ask the soldiers to destroy the Qiang people and return peace to the people of the Northern Region."
"I have seen too much suffering in the Northern Region over the past few days. I cannot bear to see the Xiongnu incident from back then happen again."
When Bai Feng said the first two sentences, Cao Cao's face twitched.
However, when he heard the last sentence, Cao Cao nodded thoughtfully:
"Teacher is right. I agree with you."
"There is indeed no need for Teacher to go on this southern expedition."
"However, I plan to attack the Sun Liu Alliance with all my strength. I am afraid that I cannot give you many soldiers."
"The Qiang tribe is so large that it might not be as easy to deal with them as it is to attack the Sun Liu Alliance."
"Why don't Teacher return to Hanzhong first and continue developing it?"
Bai Feng shook his head:
"Prime Minister, please be at ease. I do not need many soldiers."
"I only need ten thousand soldiers."
When Cao Cao heard this, he was stunned.
Ten thousand soldiers?
Did Bai Feng hear what I said just now?
How many soldiers did the Qiang people have?
Three hundred to four hundred thousand!
So many soldiers? Ten thousand soldiers is enough?
However, when he saw Bai Feng's unquestionable gaze, Cao Cao couldn't help but rub his chin.
"Teacher, are you joking?"
Bai Feng smiled faintly: "I am not joking.
"I'm not joking. Ten thousand soldiers is enough."
"Moreover, there are a hundred thousand soldiers guarding the Northern Region."
Cao Cao slowly stood up and narrowed his eyes.
"Okay, I will give you twenty thousand soldiers!"
"This is precisely what I like about Teacher's extraordinary boldness!"
Bai Feng smiled.
"Wei Emperor, there is no need for that. Ten thousand soldiers is indeed enough. I have a plan specifically to deal with the Qiang."
"Too many soldiers is not a good thing."
"Moreover, Wei Emperor will be investing a large number of soldiers in this campaign. An extra ten thousand soldiers is no small number."
Hearing this, Cao Cao immediately chuckled and nodded, saying:
"Hahahaha, as expected of Teacher!"
"If you did not have a proper plan, Teacher would never have asked this of me."
"Okay, this is what this Prince will allow."
"This Prince will send an order to Cao Ren to fully cooperate with Teacher!"
"If Teacher can really wipe out the Qiang, then this Prince will truly be relieved of a great worry!"
Cao Cao was not spouting nonsense when he said that.
Whether it was the Qiang or the Di, these fellows were a great threat to Cao Cao, who had been entrenched in the Northern Region for many years.
Cao Cao had expended a great deal of effort to keep them at bay.
It was only after Cao Cao wiped out the Wuhuan that these foreign tribes finally calmed down.
But not long after, they began to stir up trouble again.
Bai Feng smiled.
"Many thanks to Wei Emperor. This subject will definitely not disappoint Wei Emperor."
"However, this subject has a request to make of Wei Emperor."
Cao Cao waved his hand.
"Please speak!"
"Teacher, there is no need to be so courteous before me."
Bai Feng smiled faintly.
"This subject only hopes that these ten thousand soldiers can wipe out the Qiang. Is it possible for Wei Emperor to grant these ten thousand soldiers to this subject?"
"This subject's forces in Hanzhong are indeed too few. It will not be easy to stop the Di."
"After wiping out the Qiang, these soldiers will be extremely useful. It would be best to transfer them to Hanzhong to deal with the Di."
