Three Kingdoms: Do you want me to get out of here? Liu Bei, you wait

Chapter 175: The conflict between the nobles broke out again! Cao Pi kneeled down and asked to become his disciple?

"What about Xiliang Ma Teng?"

"Have you retreated?"

Seeing Cao Cao like this, Su Chen just continued to be polite.

As he walked towards the city, he said.

Cao Cao replied, "I have the military advisor's secret plan. I just followed his advice and forced him to retreat without any soldiers. Little Ma Teng is nothing to be afraid of."

Then he opened his mouth and explained in detail how he used the strategy given by Su Chen to easily force Ma Teng to retreat.

Everything was just as Su Chen had expected.

Although Ma Teng of Xiliang has a desire to compete for supremacy.

But he looks fierce but is timid.

He and Han Sui sent out 80,000 troops, but when they reached Wushizhai, they dared not advance any further.

Instead, he frequently sent out spies to find out the true situation of Xuchang.

"If Ma Teng had been more decisive and understood the principle of speed in war and taken Xuchang directly, I would have had a real headache."

"But he was indecisive, which gave Xun Yu a chance to rest and recuperate."

"When I return to the capital, I will be so scared that I will flee without even fighting. It is really ridiculous. This kind of person actually wants to compete with me."

At the end of his speech, Cao Cao sneered and shook his head repeatedly.

In both his words, he showed great contempt for Ma Teng of Xiliang.

When Su Chen heard that Ma Teng had retreated, he felt relieved and did not pay too much attention to it.

Instead, he became somewhat curious about Xun Yu, whom Cao Cao had just mentioned.

"Xun Yu?"

"That's right. Wen Ruo is also my right-hand man. This time when I come here, I must introduce you two to each other. Wen..."

Cao Cao nodded.

When he was excited, he subconsciously waved his hand to introduce the two people to each other.

But it's also waiting for the hand to be raised.

Then I thought of something and realized that something was wrong.

He coughed twice awkwardly and tried to smooth things over.

"Uh, cough, cough..."

"Wen Ruo is ill and not here this time, so let's do it another day, Mr. Su. I'll introduce you two to each other another day. For now, let's go to the government office first."

It's also because of him.

Su Chen finally reacted
His eyes swept over the civil and military officials who came out of the city gate to greet him.

That's when I discovered it.

This time it is said to be hundreds of officials, but in fact most of them are military generals.

Only a few civil officials came.

Among those who were familiar with him, only Jia Xu and Cheng Yu came.

Chen Qun, Xun You and others were all absent.

'What is this... a silent protest?'

"Does he think that Cao Cao's going out to greet him is not in accordance with etiquette, or is he expressing his opposition to me and not wanting me, the military advisor, to return to Xuchang?"

Su Chen looked at it and was stunned at first.

But thinking about it again, it’s not surprising that Chen Qun and others would have such an attitude.

Although it was the early period before Chibi.

Su Chen had successfully suppressed the Yingchuan gentry through a series of events such as borrowing arrows from a straw boat, and temporarily subdued them.

It also made them sincerely accept his position as the military advisor.

But before was before.

The time is now.

Before the capture of Chibi, Su Chen demonstrated extraordinary military talent.

Everyone can still hold their nose.

Let him, a person without any aristocratic background, sit in the position of military advisor.

After all, conquering Jiangdong is the first priority.

But things are different now.

A great victory in the Battle of Red Cliffs.

Even Sanjiangkou was taken.

Although the Eastern Wu fought stubbornly, they could not be completely wiped out in a short period of time.

But everyone knows that it is only a matter of time before Eastern Wu is completely destroyed.

It will definitely be accomplished in three to five years at the shortest, or ten years at the longest.

Then the North and the South will be unified.

Then the so-called military advisor Su Chen has a different meaning.

By then, he would really be the most powerful official under the powerful Cao.

Yes, you are a talented person and you are capable.

You played a great role in conquering Eastern Wu.

But who is incapable?

The previous Battle of Guandu and so on.

Without the strong support of our Yingchuan gentry.

Can the lord make it to the end?

This is what it means that people are not worried about scarcity but inequality.

So when they heard that Su Chen had abducted Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao, and was heading towards Xuchang in a swagger.

The undercurrents in Xuchang are actually not much less than those in Eastern Wu.

All of this. In fact, Su Chen already knew it long before he returned.

So I wasn’t surprised to see this scene this time.

Just some emotion.

I think it's hard to conquer a kingdom, but even harder to rule it. It's true...

Su Chen’s mind was in turmoil.

And look at him being silent at this moment.

But Cao Cao misunderstood.

I walked over, grabbed his wrist, and began to comfort him.

"Military Advisor, don't worry about it. I'm here to support you!"

The Yingchuan gentry used this method to express their protest and dissatisfaction.

Little did he know that the more he did this, the more it aroused Cao Cao's rebellious psychology.

It also reminded Cao Cao that Su Chen had a unique advantage.

That is, Su Chen really came from humble beginnings!
……

Is it a disadvantage to not have the endorsement of a noble family?
From the perspective of the literati, this is certainly true.

But from the perspective of a king, this is not a disadvantage but an advantage.

Because without the nobles, there would be no force to persist.

Only such a loyal minister can be used by a suspicious person like Cao Cao with confidence and without any worries!

This is also the reason why Cao Cao insisted on coming out in person to welcome Su Chen with great fanfare today.

The Yingchuan gentry were trying to please Cao Cao.

The same is true of Cao Cao.

However, neither Cao Cao nor Su Chen pointed out these words.

Seeing the other party like this, he smiled and said again.

"The Prime Minister has misunderstood."

"I certainly won't take it to heart."

"It's just that I'm a little surprised to see these officials of Xuchang for the first time."

"Accident?"

Cao Cao was stunned.

Only then did he remember that Su Chen had been a military chief for quite a long time.

But he was not actually familiar with some of the generals in Xuchang.

I took his hand and went over to introduce him.

"Yes, yes, I will introduce them to Mr. Su one by one..."

I didn't expect that I hadn't finished speaking yet.

Instead, someone took the initiative to run out and saluted towards Su Chen.

"Junior Cao Pi greets Su Chen, Mr. Su!"

The person who spoke was not a minister, but Cao Cao's second son.
Cao Pi is the oldest among all the disciples.

Cao Pi looks somewhat similar to Cao Cao, but his expression is more honest and straightforward.

Su Chen watched him salute him.

Immediately return the gift and say.

"Why do you have to be so polite, sir?"

"You and I are of similar age, so we should be friends as peers."

Listen to him.

Cao Pi on the opposite side immediately shook his head and said with a serious expression.

"That's not the case. It is said that a wise man is a good teacher! Mr. Su's talent is rare in the world, and father is so respectful to him."

"Under such circumstances, it is only natural for me to treat you with respect as a disciple."

Su Chen heard this and remained silent.

Cao Cao glanced behind him and said.

"Why are you here alone?"

"Where are your other brothers?"

"This one……"

After hearing this, Cao Pi looked hesitant.

Cao Cao immediately glared and urged.

"Why are you hesitating? If you have something to say, just say it!"

Cao Pi said, "Master Xun Yu said that too many people came and it was against etiquette, so he asked all the gentlemen not to show up."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and asked, "It's not in accordance with etiquette, why are you here?"

"This……"

Cao Pi hesitated.

Cao Cao asked again, "Why don't you speak?"

"Please punish me, father!"

Cao Pi immediately knelt on the ground and said in fear, "I admire Mr. Su too much. That's why I sneaked out!"

"Admire?"

This answer surprised everyone.

Cao Pi immediately added.

"Yes, the Qilin genius has amazing poetry talent and his record of writing hundreds of poems after drinking a lot of wine made me fascinated.

So I came here specially this time. If you don’t mind, Cao Pi would like to ask you to accept me as your disciple and teach me the art of poetry! "
