Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

Chapter 228 When Cao Ren stopped the army, Bai Feng still has a backup?

At this time, Cao Ren was there.

Cao Ren has been camping in place for a long time, and his face has been very unsightly.

He knew in his heart that if he failed this time, let alone explain to Cao Cao, he would even be ashamed to see Bai Feng.

With a single mistake, so many soldiers have been lost, and punishment is inevitable.

At this moment, Zhang Liao walked into the tent, holding two letters in his hands, his face was livid and he said:

"Zixiao, one of these two letters is from Zihe, and the other is from King Wei."

Cao Ren was taken aback for a moment, then took the envelope tremblingly.

He took the lead in opening Cao Chun's letter.

Regarding Cao Cao's letter, he was a little ashamed to open it.

It is estimated that the two letters are most likely to blame themselves.

As a result, Cao Ren frowned when he saw the content:

"Jiang Xia is in trouble!"

"That Pang Shorty led troops to attack Jiang Xia!"

"Zi He said, Bai Feng ordered me to support Jiang Xia as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes."

Zhang Liao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said in a low voice:

"Jiang Xia is determined not to make mistakes!"

"The two cities of Jiangxia and Jiangling can just stop Liu Beijun's supplies and contacts."

"And the tiger and leopard rider that Zihe brought are also in Jiangxia!"

Cao Ren nodded quickly when he heard this.

This time, he was determined to obey Bai Feng's order.

If the soldiers do not move, I am afraid that even if King Wei protects himself, he will have to be dealt with by military law.

Even if he saved his life, he might not be able to escape the pain of flesh and blood.

Thinking of this, Cao Ren gritted his teeth and opened Cao Cao's letter.

There are only two things in the letter.

As soon as he opened it, Cao Ren's face turned green.

It was full of words scolding Cao Ren for being a waste, and every sentence was getting worse.

As soon as I heard it, Cao Cao was right.

But what he cared more about was the bottom line.

"Before Jingzhou breaks through, listen to Bai Feng's orders unconditionally, and don't act without authorization, or you will be dealt with by military law!"

Seeing this line, Cao Ren immediately felt worse than being scolded.

"What was written in the letter?"

Looking at the wonderful changes on Cao Ren's face, Zhang Liao couldn't help but wonder.

Cao Ren waved his hand:

"It's nothing, the prime minister asked me to wait to assist the marshal, and besides..."

"Because of this mistake, the prime minister reprimanded me a few words."

Cao Ren really couldn't say the words that he was scolded.

Don't have the face to say it!

Hearing this, Zhang Liao sighed helplessly:

"It's okay, Zixiao, as long as I can defend Jiang Xia this time, we can make up for it, and King Wei will definitely not say anything about you again."

Cao Ren was scolded, Zhang Liao must have known it well.

It's no wonder you don't get scolded for doing this kind of thing.

After discussing for a while, the two led the army and marched towards Jiangxia overnight.

Since Cao Ren carried too many soldiers, he was not a small target. If he wanted to go to Jiangxia, he could not take the official road, but walked along Fancheng.

If this is the case, it is bound to be flanked by Liu Beijun in Xiangyang and Fancheng.

After thinking about it, Cao Ren decided to take the path.

This action fully met Pang Tong's expectations.

Not long after, Cao Renjun marched to the dense forest not far from Jiangxia City.

"Zixiao, do you smell a strange smell?"

Zhang Liao had a sensitive nose, and after sniffing for a long time, he said with a nervous expression.

Cao Ren was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and followed suit, his expression changed immediately:

"Wait, this is the smell of tung oil!"

"Could it be that there is Liu Beijun ambushing in this dense forest?"

"This Pangtong boy!"

"Do you really think I will be fooled twice!"

Although Cao Ren was furious, he did not dare to move forward at all.

The last big fire destroyed half of Cao Ren's army.

Zhang Liao frowned slightly and said:

"With Pang Tong's ability, he will not repeat the old trick."

"But Jiang Xia has to be saved."

"Why don't I send troops to investigate and find out if there is Liu Bei's army in the forest? It won't be too late to march."

After experiencing the last incident, Zhang Liao was also very concerned about this matter, for fear of making the same mistake again.

Cao Ren's face darkened slightly.

What Zhang Liao said was very pertinent. If there is no Liu Beijun in the forest, then he can continue to move forward.

If there is, it is also a disguised solution to the siege of Jiangxia.

After all, if they want to trap 40,000 troops, they must at least keep around 10,000.

At this moment, Cao Ren shook his head and said:

"Wen Yuan, although you are right, you have to remember, I can't gamble with the remaining 40,000 troops!"

"Even if Jiang Xia is lost, we still have room to maneuver, but if we lose these 40,000 troops, we will have nothing left."

"At that time, how to march south?"

Hearing Cao Ren's words, Zhang Liao was slightly taken aback.

Cao Ren's meaning was very clear.

This is not wanting to help Jiang Xia!

Zhang Liao frowned tightly and said in a low voice:

"Zixiao, don't be confused!"

"This is the order of the marshal! Don't forget what was said in King Wei's book, everything must be ordered by the marshal!"

When Cao Ren heard this, his expression changed, and he said:

"Wen Yuan, I didn't mean you."

"Just think about it, we have already discovered the clues in this forest, if we still proceed rashly."

"If we lose the remaining 40,000 troops, the two of us can't bear the responsibility."

Zhang Liao was shocked when he heard this, and wanted to say something else.

But this responsibility, I really can't bear it!

If there is any mistake, I am very likely to be dealt with by military law!

That's a head-on thing!

What's more, if there is an ambush, it is still unknown whether the whole group can escape.

In fact, Cao Ren's idea is also very simple.

He completely blamed Bai Feng for the fact that King Wei scolded him.

He thought about it.

Usually he himself has lost battles, but Wei Wang has never been so angry.

Unless, someone sent a secret letter!

Besides Bai Feng who disobeyed his orders, who else could this person be?

Thinking of this, Cao Ren was even more unwilling to rush to help Jiang Xia.

In his opinion, Jiangxia is just a small town, and even if he rescues it now, he will not be able to gain military merit.

That's fine, there's a reason not to go.

Seeing that Zhang Liao no longer objected, Cao Ren raised his arms and shouted:

"There is an ambush ahead! I will camp here and wait and see what happens!"

...

Soon, the news that Cao Ren stayed where he was was spread to Jiangling City.

Xia Houyuan and Cao Chun almost died of anger.

Because before that, Bai Feng told them that Cao Ren would most likely disobey orders!

Unexpectedly, this stupid pig actually believed in Pang Tong's trick!

"Marshal! How about I send another letter later?"

Xia Houyuan said eagerly.

Cao Chun on the side also said anxiously:

"Forget it, I'll go by myself, Zixiao is being confused!"

Bai Feng waved his hand:

"No, he wants to rest there, so let's just stay there."

Cao Chun was dumbfounded:

"Marshal! What... what about Jiang Xia?"

Bai Feng smiled slightly:

"You should trust General Zhang He, and I have countermeasures."

"Next, just wait and see the good show."

After finishing speaking, Bai Feng drank the tea in the teacup in front of him, and said with a calm smile.
