"A total of... six thousand strong men?"

"It's that simple?"

Cao Ren was dumbfounded.

It is not difficult to recruit 6,000 strong men. You only need to issue some rewards to recruit yourself.

Now Cao Wei is very powerful, without the suppression of the gentry, the people live very well, and the population is also expanding rapidly.

To recruit soldiers is much faster than before.

What's more, there are only six thousand.

The money spent on the recruitment of these six thousand strong men is probably less than a quarter of that of Bai Feng's house.

"only……"

Xiahou Dun was a little puzzled and said:

"Sir, why do you want to recruit so many strong men?"

"Besides, sir, he is the Generalissimo. You can recruit in your own name. Why would you let us recruit?"

"Isn't this superfluous?"

Bai Feng sighed lightly and said:

"After Jingzhou was defeated, I decided to settle here."

"After finding a place to live, I will use these six thousand strong men to farm for me and become a landowner."

Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren were dumbfounded when they heard the words, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Sir, are you serious?"

Xiahou Dun swallowed, and said:

"You plan to live in Jingzhou City for a long time, why?"

Bai Feng sighed and said:

"With Jingzhou and Hanzhong defeated, there will be no princes who can stop the footsteps of King Wei."

"As for Jiangdong, it will either perish along with Jingzhou, or it's just a matter of time. Jiangdong is not unbreakable."

"Since that's the case, I have nothing to do when I take down Jingzhou, so I will disarm and return to the farmland to retire."

Hearing this, the corners of their eyes twitched.

Although they have been calling Bai Feng military adviser, but Bai Feng has not even reached the year of the weak crown, what a child.

It's just that Bai Feng's strategy and intelligence are far superior to others.

At this time, they are arguing about the elderly, what should Xia Houdun and Cao Ren, two "old men" in their thirties, think?

But after thinking about it, Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren understood.

Bai Feng knew that his official had already done his best.

Today's Bai Feng can be said to be an extremely human minister, and if he goes up to the top, he will be a marquis and a knight.

But the world has just been settled, and King Wei is nothing more than a king, how could he seal Bai Feng's equal position with himself.

Apparently, Bai Feng wanted to retire because he wanted to be successful and get out of the world.

As for what these six thousand strong men will be used for, it is self-evident.

Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun are not fools.

These six thousand must be the private army that Bai Feng wanted to support.

However, this is understandable.

After all, as the Grand Marshal, Bai Feng offended most of the gentry, fought north and south, and had many enemies.

If there is no private army, if someone comes to seek revenge after being disarmed and returned to the fields, it will definitely be uneasy.

And there is a private army that King Wei will definitely allow.

After all, it is human nature.

Even if six thousand private troops were indeed a lot, even if they wanted to rebel, they wouldn't pose much of a threat.

Thinking about it this way, it all makes sense.

"Have you thought about it, sir?"

Both Xiahou Dun and Cao Ren received secret orders from the King of Wei, knowing how to treat Bai Feng after taking Jingzhou.

But the two of them were very respectful to Bai Feng, and they couldn't bear to make such a move.

If Bai Feng is willing to retreat voluntarily, that would be the best ending.

Bai Feng sighed and nodded slightly.

The two patted their thighs and said with a smile:

"Okay! Then the two of us agree to the bet."

"It's just the marshal. It's very difficult to win this bet."

"I'm afraid it's because you can't go back to hermitage, but you've built two houses instead."

Bai Feng smiled slightly, but did not answer.

Cao Chun on the side poured cold water and said:

"Did the two of you really forget the marshal's methods?"

"A mere Mi Fang, do you think it will be more difficult than the Xiliang army?"

Hearing this, the two were slightly taken aback.

I faintly felt that something was not quite right, did I get tricked? !

Could it be that the marshal had a plan in mind long ago, and just took the opportunity to ask the two of them to help him recruit troops?

Thinking of this, the two had black lines on their faces.

It's over, I'm afraid I won't be used as a gun this time.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Bai Feng felt relieved.

The two seemed to believe that they were going to be disarmed and returned to the fields.

But in fact, if Boss Cao wanted to kill himself, how could he drink wine and release his military power like Zhao Kuangyin did.

Who is Cao Cao?

Traitor!

Butchered his benefactor, Lu Boshe's family, without changing his countenance, he said that he would rather teach me to betray the people of the world, and don't teach the world to betray me, such "rhetoric" people.

This kind of person can talk so well?

But what Bai Feng lacks most right now is troops.

Without soldiers and generals, it would be difficult to fight Boss Cao.

So I took this opportunity to deceive Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun.

Cao Ren is Cao Cao's younger brother, and Xiahou Dun is Cao Cao's most trusted loyal minister. If these two recruit soldiers and only have three thousand soldiers, Boss Cao will definitely not take it to heart.

But if he recruited by himself, Boss Cao would definitely stare at him and obstruct him in every possible way.

If he tore his face, he would not be able to recruit troops on Cao Wei's territory.

Once you have soldiers, you can plan for the next step.

...

Soon, half an hour passed.

Bai Feng whispered to Cao Chun:

"Find the four most obedient commanders under the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and give them to me."

"Here!"

Cao Chun had great trust in Bai Feng, so he quickly ordered him to bring him here.

Bai Feng took out the map, pointed to four places, and said in a low voice:

"The four of you and others led a thousand troops to ambush in the four directions of the city, east, south, northwest, and raised torches."

"If you want to move back and forth, you must not stop, and remember, no matter who provokes you, don't stop, otherwise you will come to see me."

The four commanders were immediately overwhelmed by Bai Feng's aura, and hurriedly gave orders.

Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun were stunned.

What is Bai Feng doing?

The original strength was not enough, and four thousand were allocated?

How can a mere 6,000 people fight against the 20,000 city defense forces in the city, with less than a hundred casualties?

This is simply an impossible task.

Bai Feng didn't care what the two of them were thinking, but walked straight towards Jiangling City with Cao Chun and the remaining troops.

"Marshal, are you crazy?"

Cao Ren couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice, but Xiahou Dun quickly covered his mouth.

Xiahou Dun said in a deep voice:

"It's not the first day you know the marshal. I feel that every decision the marshal makes is purposeful and planned."

"Otherwise, why would the Marshal take 6,000 people to die?"

Hearing this, Cao Ren swallowed and fell silent.

What Xiahou Dun said is indeed correct, Bai Feng has not done anything superfluous until now.

...

A moment later, inside Jiangling City.

"Report! Report to General Mi!"

It was late at night, and Mi Fang was sleeping deeply, when she heard a cry of surprise, she quickly sat up from the bed, and said in a low voice:

"What happened?"

The city defense messenger hurriedly said:

"General! Cao Wei's army is attacking!"

Mi Fang was shocked immediately:

"How many soldiers and horses are there?!"
