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

Chapter 193: Open the treasure chest again, Xiliang Ma Teng is coming! [Two in one]

……

[Ding, congratulations, you have successfully opened the diamond treasure chest and received the reward 'Eighteen Riders of Yanyun']

[Eighteen Riders of Yanyun]: Top-level cavalrymen during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, dressed in cold clothes, each of them highly skilled in martial arts, able to defeat a hundred enemies alone, and leaving no grass behind wherever they went.

……

[Ding, congratulations, you have successfully opened the diamond treasure chest and received the reward 'Borrowing Rain Talisman']

[Borrow Rain Talisman]: The sky rains, borrow a small amount of precipitation with the talisman, and irrigate the land in front of you. Lasts for three hours.

[Tips]: This spell has only one chance to be effective.

……

Although before actually opening the treasure chest, Su Chen kept muttering to himself.

I hope to be favored by the goddess of luck.

But after actually seeing the rewards from this treasure chest.

He still couldn't help but be shocked.

There is no other reason.

It is really a reward given by the system this time.

It was much better than he had imagined.

Whether it is the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun, or the Rain-Borrowing Talisman that can temporarily change the weather.

They all deserve the name of diamond treasure chest.

Especially the latter [Borrowing Rain Talisman], which seems to be extremely valuable to Su Chen.

'In the original novel, Kong Ming either borrowed the east wind or the Seven Star Lamp to borrow his life. He was simply a magical being.

If I had the chance to accumulate a few more of these spells, would outsiders also see me as someone as wise as a demon or unpredictable?

Su Chen looked at the talisman reward that had just been opened in the system space.

self-mumbling.

My mind was filled with thoughts for a while.

Before he could think further.

My thoughts were interrupted by a burst of rapid shouting.

“Sir! Sir!!”

The one who called him was naturally none other than Xu Chu.

This time, he ran in hurriedly with anxious steps.

Although he is a big and strong man, his movements and expressions seem particularly funny.

Seeing him like this, Su Chen naturally couldn't help but laugh.

Then he opened his mouth and asked again with curiosity.

"Zhongkang?"

"What's wrong? What are you doing in such a hurry?"

Xu Chu said anxiously, "Sir, please come with me to the Prime Minister's residence. The Prime Minister has something important to discuss with you."

"Is it important?"

Su Chen was surprised, and thought of something and asked.

"Could it be that the Jizhou nobles are dissatisfied with the previous handling of Sima Yi? That's not the case. Isn't this matter already in the past?"

Xu Chu said, "Of course it's not about Jizhou, but about Ma Teng in Xiliang."

"Xiliang Ma Teng? Isn't he dead?"

Su Chen was puzzled.

"That's right. But he's dead, but his son is still alive. Didn't the prime minister kill Ma Teng to vent his anger? When his son Ma Chao heard the news, he was furious. Now he has mobilized all the Qiang soldiers and rushed to Xuchang, intending to hold the prime minister accountable."

Xu Chu spoke in a hurried tone, full of worry.

And look at him.

Su Chen didn't care and said again.

"That's all?"

"The Prime Minister had already had the intention to kill Xiliang Ma Teng. If that was the case, then he would have been prepared. Why is he so panicked today?"

Although Boss Cao is indeed inferior to him in terms of intelligence and talent.

But he can be a monarch who divides the world into three parts.

Naturally, he cannot be a mediocre person.

It is not about foreseeing the future. But taking precautions before it happens should be something that can be done for sure.

That's why, after hearing Xu Chu say this.

Only Su Chen would be surprised.

You also have to look at the puzzled look on his face.

Xu Chu gave a wry smile and quickly added an explanation.

"If it was just Xiliang Ma Chao, it wouldn't have come to this."

"The key is that this guy is smart. He actually chose to write a letter to Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu, and the two sides jointly marched."

"Joint march?"

Su Chen raised his brows after hearing this.

His expression then changed a little.

Xu Chu nodded and said,
"That's right. At the same time when he sent troops to Xuchang, Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu and others to lead the troops to attack Sanjiangkou. If it weren't for this, the Prime Minister wouldn't have such a headache."

"He attacked Xuchang himself and let Sun Quan attack Sanjiangkou. Isn't this just helping Sun Quan? It's definitely hurting others and not benefiting himself."

Su Chen was also confused after hearing this.

"It's just hurting others and not benefiting yourself. Ma Chao from Xiliang came here to avenge his father. He was determined to tear a piece of flesh from the prime minister at the risk of his life. He didn't even think about taking advantage of him."

Xu Chu smiled bitterly and sighed.

His words and deeds revealed that young people have no moral principles.

Seeing him like this, Su Chen didn't ask any more questions.

He immediately stood up and urged him over.

The two of them walked together and headed towards Cao Cao's residence.

When Su Chen arrives.

Cao Cao's mansion was already crowded with civil and military officials.

On the main seat, Cao Cao looked even more worried, pacing anxiously.

It was only when he saw Su Chen coming that a bit of hope appeared in his eyes.

He stepped forward and grabbed his hand.

He said anxiously, as if he had seen a savior.

"Mr. Su, you are finally here."

"I am also undecided at the moment, and I am waiting for you to come and make a decision for me."

Not only the civil and military officials behind him were also worried.

crucial moment.

Su Chen remained calm.

This time he didn't say anything to comfort her, but went straight to the point and talked about the business.

"My Lord, please don't panic. Tell me the specific military situation first. Where did Ma Chao of Xiliang and Zhou Yu fight respectively?"

Cao Cao said,
"Ma Chao of Xiliang is leading an army of 10 soldiers to attack Xuchang. Now the army has crossed the Hexi Corridor. I have already sent Xiahou Dun to lead some troops to stop them. There is no need to worry for the time being.

What really gives me a headache is Sanjiangkou. Therefore, Zhou Gongjin led Gan Ning, Gan Xingba and others to attack desperately this time. They are determined to take Sanjiangkou and never give up. "

"How many defenders are there at Sanjiangkou?"

"5 people."

"Fifty thousand people..."

"What about Xuchang? How many soldiers are there defending Xuchang right now?"

"All the troops added together, more than 2 people, less than 3."

After hearing this, Su Chen frowned, then looked up at the map in front of him, and finally realized the difficulty of the situation.

5 people were stationed at Sanjiangkou.

Normally it is more than enough, after all, they have deployed a lot of Qingzhou soldiers in Jingzhou for support.

But now that Xuchang is facing a crisis at the same time, the situation is very different.

Now the problem has become a simple fire-fighting problem. With Xuchang and Sanjiangkou in urgent need of reinforcements, where should these Qingzhou troops go?
If they surrender to Xuchang, they will be able to easily repel Ma Chao's attack and resolve the crisis in Xuchang.

But there is a high probability that Sanjiangkou will be recaptured by Zhou Yu and others.

But if we leave Xuchang alone and send all our troops to Sanjiangkou, it would be even more dangerous.

What if Ma Teng really reaches Xuchang?

The losses caused will be even more incalculable.

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

Su Chen felt a headache just thinking about it. No wonder Cao Cao was so conflicted.

This time his brows were furrowed.

I'm still undecided.

He didn't expect it to happen at this critical moment.

There is also a crisp system prompt sound.

It rang in his head.

There are new system tasks released directly.

……

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully activating the random mission, defend Xuchang. ]

[Task Description]: Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, has gone completely mad. This time, he joined forces with the Eastern Wu only to make Cao Ying pay the price in blood. However, the more this happens, the more you, as a counselor of Cao Ying, cannot retreat.

[Task Requirements]: Crush Ma Chao's delusion and successfully defend Xuchang.

[Complete the mission]: You will get a basic reward of 1 platinum treasure chest. The subsequent reward system will be improved according to the host's completion results.

……

【Do you accept this task? 】

【whether? 】

……

Wow, is this system task coming so quickly?
I just finished Sima Yi's mission, and now Xiliang Ma Chao's mission comes?!

Looking at the system prompt that suddenly popped up, Su Chen was naturally stunned.

After I came back to my senses and thought about it again, there was nothing to hesitate about, so I simply chose to accept the task.

After all, it would be a waste not to make the reward.

Moreover.

This mission is actually not as dangerous as imagined.

The key to the problem is not to completely annihilate the Western Liang army brought by Ma Chao, but to successfully delay them and give them a certain amount of time to turn around.

After the Jingzhou troops resolved the trouble in Sanjiangkou.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Ma Chao would naturally retreat.

It's impossible to fight to the death with him.

After all, revenge for one's father is one's own, but it is impossible to sacrifice one's own life as well.

And wanted to delay Ma Chao's troops.

Cao Cao and others were at a loss as to what to do, but Su Chen had plenty of solutions.

He was thinking with full confidence, but when he saw Su Chen fell silent, Cao Cao misunderstood Su Chen's meaning and thought that Su Chen had no good solution. He felt extremely desperate.

"What's wrong? Even Mr. Su has no better solution? Is it possible that this time, the Sanjiangkou that we conquered with great difficulty will be returned to Dongwu again?"

Cao Cao's eyes were filled with resentment.

Seeing him like this, Xun Yu and others immediately stepped forward to comfort him.

"My lord, why do you have to do this? As the old saying goes, victory and defeat are common in the military. Sanjiangkou is indeed important, but it cannot be compared with our base camp Xuchang."

"As long as Xuchang is not lost, Jingzhou is in our hands. It will only be a matter of time before we can retake Sanjiangkou and counterattack Dongwu."

"Yes, Prime Minister, rest assured. After the crisis in Xuchang is resolved, I will personally lead the troops to help you retake this place!"

At the end, not only the civil officials, but also Cao Hong and his military generals stood up to help persuade.

Cao Cao heard everyone say this.

His originally worried expression finally eased a little.

He nodded reluctantly, about to accept this unwilling fact.

"Well, then, according to what you and Mr. Su said, we will temporarily abandon Sanjiangkou and have Jingzhou send troops to support Xuchang."

After Su Chen beside him came back to his senses, he heard everyone say this, and his expression became more and more strange. Finally, he couldn't help but interrupt and ask again.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, my lord, when did I say we were going to give up Sanjiangkou? Isn't that what Xun Lingjun and the others said just now?"

Although his words were light, they were like a thunderclap to the ears of the people on the other side.

"?!"

"What do you mean, Mr. Su?"

"Could it be that the situation in Xuchang has become what it is now? Sir, do you still have a way to save it?!"

It was as if Cao Cao had grasped the last straw. He stepped forward, grabbed Su Chen's hand and asked again hurriedly.

Not only him, but all the civil and military officials standing in the back also had their eyes on Su Chen.

"How is it possible? Could it be that Mr. Su really knows how to turn beans into soldiers? Can he make the grass and trees become soldiers for the prime minister to use?"

However, compared to Cao Cao's expectations, Xun Yu was more puzzled.

Although they knew that Su Chen, a genius, was definitely smarter than them, they still couldn't accept the result that everyone had racked their brains to come up with. Now he easily came up with the answer.

I thought he would give some insightful advice this time.

However, they never expected Su Chen to speak next, and his next words made everyone present drop their jaws again.

"Of course, Su doesn't know how to create soldiers by scattering beans.

I just think that this matter is not as troublesome as everyone thinks. Although Ma Chao of Xiliang is brave, he is far from being able to threaten Xuchang. Isn't the Prime Minister worried about the loss of Sanjiangkou?

Easy. Send all the troops of Jingzhou to Sanjiangkou to confront Zhou Yu. As for Xiliang Ma Chao, leave it to me to deal with him!"

Su Chen is full of confidence.

He was confident, but everyone present was stunned again when they heard him say that.

"Leave it to Sir to handle?!"

"Sir, do you know what you are talking about? At present, Xuchang has less than 3 soldiers, including some new recruits with weak combat effectiveness.

Mr. Su is planning to take less than 3 soldiers to fight against Ma Chao's 10 Xiliang troops?"

After a moment, he came back to his senses and even Cao Cao couldn't hold it anymore, so he whispered a reminder.

"Yes, they are truly well-equipped Xiliang cavalry. Even among the Prime Minister's troops, only the Qingzhou soldiers can rival them."

"Isn't it too fantastic for the military advisor to do this?"

The Yingchuan nobles in the back came back to their senses and shook their heads.
While expressing doubts about this, there was also a hint of gloating in his words.

I feel that Su Chen is speaking without thinking this time.

Seeing them like this, Xu Chu was naturally angry.

It also means to speak up for Su Chen.

However, Su Chen, as the person involved, didn't want to explain too much to them.

He turned his head and looked directly at Cao Cao, speaking to him seriously.

"This is not a fantasy, my lord, I am serious."

"Su is willing to sign a military order for this matter! If the crisis in Xuchang cannot be resolved successfully, Su is willing to come to see me with his head afterwards."

Seeing Su Chen's reaction, Cao Cao's face couldn't help but become more solemn, and he was obviously deep in thought.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't be so entangled.
Some people might even just treat it as a joke and laugh it off.

But it happened that it was Su Chen who spoke this time.

He is the military strategist who has made remarkable achievements since the Battle of Xinye.

Thinking about the outrageous achievements that Su Chen had previously created, one after another.

Cao Cao, who had already refused to give up Sanjiangkou, couldn't help but start to waver.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth, finally made up his mind, and said fiercely.

"It's a bet!"

"Sir, since you are willing to sign a military order, then I will naturally not risk my life to accompany you. This time, let's make a big bet. If I lose, I will admit defeat!"
