Ever since Diao Chan turned sixteen, she had seen countless men looking at her with infatuation.
Diao Chan originally thought that Bai Feng was no exception, but she did not expect to see confusion in his eyes instead of infatuation.
This made Diao Chan a little confused.
This was the first time Diao Chan had seen a man look at her like that.
"I was rude and offended you, Miss Diao Chan."
Bai Feng realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly cupped his hands.
Diao Chan sneered and said,
"Mr. Bai, you don't have to be so courteous. I asked Mr. Xun and Mr. Pi when they sent you here, and they were full of praise for you."
"You are an important person, how could I offend you?"
Bai Feng smiled awkwardly and asked,
"Where is Mr. Pi now?"
Although Bai Feng wanted to ask why Diao Chan was here and what had happened, it was obviously inappropriate to ask such a question.
If Cao Pi had taken her as his concubine, it would be rude to ask someone else's wife.
Diao Chan replied,
"Mr. Pi also has many wounds on his body. He has already applied medicine and changed his clothes. It has been an hour, and he should be back soon."
Bai Feng nodded slightly and turned to walk toward the peach garden behind the house.
Bai Feng, who had lived in the modern world for many years, had not seen such a beautiful and pure peach garden for a long time. It was obviously excellent for cultivating one's temperament.
However, Diao Chan stretched out her hand.
"Sir, please wait."
"Xu Chang is currently surrounded by an army. Do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?"
Hearing this, Bai Feng raised his eyebrows.
Generally speaking, women would not care about this kind of war, but Diao Chan was different.
Whether it was driving a wedge between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo, or following Lu Bu to conquer the world.
This seemingly inexperienced woman in front of him was much more experienced than she looked.
"Oh? Is Miss Diao Chan afraid of the Xiliang army? "
Bai Feng deliberately asked.
Diao Chan could not help but cover her face and laugh.
"I heard that Mr. Bai is from Xinye. You probably don't know about my experience."
"If you're from Luoyang, you should know about the matter between this humble girl, Lu Bu, and Dong Zhuo."
"It's just the Xi Liang Army. It's not even half of the Xi Liang Army that entered the capital back then. What do I have to fear?"
"However …"
Diao Chan's expression tensed up. She leaned closer to Bai Feng and said,
"Sir, I have followed Lu Bu for many years. Under the influence of Chen Gongtai, I have also read some military books."
"The current situation is indeed not easy to resolve. Right now, our army is stuck between a rock and a hard place. We can neither attack nor retreat. We can only wait for Prime Minister Cao's army to arrive."
"However, Prime Minister Cao should still be in Jiangdong. How could Zhou Yu let the matter rest? The Prime Minister's footsteps will definitely be delayed."
"In my humble opinion, the Prime Minister will need at least four to five days to reach Xuchang."
Bai Feng smiled and said,
"Under the siege of the Western Liang Army, it is impossible for us to defend the city for so long with only a little more than ten thousand soldiers."
Diao Chan nodded in agreement and looked at Bai Feng with her big watery eyes.
Bai Feng continued,
"Miss Diao Chan, how do you know that I don't have a way to defeat the enemy?"
Hearing this, Diao Chan, whose eyes were a little dim, suddenly looked at Bai Feng seriously.
For Diao Chan, Xuchang was her only residence. If this place was breached, with Liu Bei's hypocritical character, he would definitely punish her as a demoness.
At that time, it would be difficult for her to escape death.
Everyone wanted to live, and Diao Chan was no exception.
Now, Bai Feng clearly meant that he had a way to deal with the Western Liang Army outside. How could Diao Chan not be happy?
"Sir, do you have a good plan? Can you tell me about it? "
Diao Chan asked hurriedly. She was rather anxious.
Bai Feng did not intend to keep Diao Chan in suspense. He smiled faintly and said,
"There is no other way. Use your strong points to attack their weak points."
Diao Chan, who was originally hopeful, was stunned.
Bai Feng's words were too abstract. What did he mean?
What was the advantage of the Cao Army compared to the Western Liang Army?
"That is my strong point."
Bai Feng could see Diao Chan's concern and said,
"If Liu Bei attacks the city, I can't guarantee that the city will be defended before the Prime Minister's army arrives. But what if Liu Bei doesn't attack the city?"
At this point, Bai Feng smiled slyly.
Diao Chan looked at Bai Feng, half-understanding. She began to think.
Outside Xuchang City.
In the Western Liang Army Camp.
More than a hundred thousand soldiers had surrounded Xuchang. They were originally in a situation where victory was certain, but they were forced to retreat by a mere five thousand Ferocious Cavalry soldiers. Moreover, Guan and Zhang had their weapons broken and were forced to retreat.
The atmosphere in the camp was very gloomy.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also frowned, their faces troubled.
"Zilong, I heard that you were only watching from the sidelines? You didn't participate? "
Liu Bei whispered to Zhao Yun.
Before Zhao Yun could speak, Zhang Fei suddenly slammed the table and shouted,
"Zhao Yun! We were fighting to the death and dealing with that Bai Feng, but you were just watching from the sidelines. There wasn't a single drop of blood on you. What is the meaning of this? "
Liu Bei quickly stopped Zhang Fei and turned to look at Zhao Yun.
Even Zhuge Liang's face was filled with melancholy.
What did the arrival of the Ferocious Cavalry mean?
It meant that Cao Cao's army had already retreated!
The battle report from Jiangdong hadn't arrived yet, so they didn't know where Cao Cao was.
Perhaps Cao Cao would lead his army to the north tomorrow.
The five thousand Ferocious Cavalry soldiers defending Xuchang were easy to deal with, but what about Cao Cao's army?
Even if they had suffered heavy losses in the battle with Jiangdong, the strength of the Cao Army was far greater than the hundred thousand soldiers of the Xiliang Alliance Army.
Once Cao Cao arrives, not to mention taking down Xuchang, I'm afraid all of us will die here.
Zhuge Liang couldn't understand when Bai Feng found out that he was heading to Xuchang.
After regrouping, they didn't waste any time and rested for one night before starting the siege. It had only been a day since the siege began, and the Ferocious Cavalry had already arrived.
From this, it could be seen that Bai Feng had been on his way for at least three days!
"Reporting to the Lord!"
Just as the situation was getting awkward, a messenger's voice came.
"Is there any movement of Cao Cao's army?"
Liu Bei hurriedly asked.
The messenger shook his head and said, "We've been going on and on.
After searching for about eighty li, we still haven't found Cao Cao's army. "
"We can't continue forward. We're about to reach Xiahou Dun's army."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Cao Cao still hasn't arrived?
Then why did the Ferocious Cavalry arrive first?
Thinking of this, Liu Bei's face became grave.
Seeing this, Ma Teng narrowed his eyes.
"Xuande, what should we do now?"
"Do we still have to continue the siege?"
How could Ma Teng not feel heartache when he saw the soldiers he had painstakingly gathered dwindle?
In addition, the morale of the soldiers was low. Even if they had the advantage in numbers, it was hopeless to continue the siege.
