Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao is stunned when he reveals his time-traveling identity.

We can't let him get away!

"Sir, shouldn't we first find Liu Bei and join forces before launching our attack?"

"Why did you go straight to Lu Bu?"

On the way to the city where Lü Bu is located.

Cao Chun couldn't help but ask a question.

Logically, in this situation, we should go directly to Liu Bei and let him launch the attack first.

Then we can just sit back and watch, and wait for them to fight it out.

Finally, they struck again and routed Lü Bu's army.

This is the proper way to do things.

Why is Su Chen acting so unpredictably?

"Meet Liu Bei, and then let them lead their troops first."

"To simultaneously weaken both Liu Bei and Lü Bu."

"That's what you think, right?"

Su Chen remained calm and spoke indifferently.

"No... what else could it be?"

Cao Chun was stunned.

Su Chen waved his hand and said:

"There's no need for that."

"Let's not even talk about how Liu Bei and Lü Bu were already locked in a fierce battle."

"Before our army set out, they had already launched several surprise attacks on Lü Bu."

"Just to put it simply, our army can no longer do this."

Cao Chun's expression changed:

"Please enlighten me, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Ang and the others also perked up their ears.

They all wanted to hear Su Chen's insightful opinion.

"They will later join our army in attacking Yangzhou."

"Liu Bei only had a pitiful tens of thousands of soldiers at his disposal."

"If our army continues to act in this way, how will the world view the Minister of Works?"

"We still took Xuzhou by leveraging Liu Bei's name."

Su Chen continued tirelessly.

However, this reason is indeed correct.

But... that's a bit too far-fetched.

This is a battle that Liu Bei wants to fight!

They were just reinforcements, only agreeing to come and help.

However, they were unaware of this.

Su Chen's most important objective in this battle.

It's Zhang Liao.

"Report!"

Just then, the sound of scouts' hooves came from ahead.

"Reporting to General Qi!"

"This is bad! There seem to be enemy troops nearby!"

"What?!"

Cao Chun was stunned when he heard this.

When?!

It's important to understand that they are currently on the offensive.

However, they were still some distance from where Lü Bu was.

We're on the march right now!

Who will attack?

However, he didn't have much time left to think.

"Charge!"

A loud shout came from not far away.

In an instant, the sound of horses' hooves echoed from all around.

"Is this insane?!"

"If you're going to ambush someone, shouldn't you do it in a strategically advantageous location?"

"This place is all plains right now, what are these guys trying to do?"

Cao Chun was immediately enraged.

"It seems these guys clearly don't take our army seriously!"

"In their eyes, we're nothing more than the vanguard!"

Cao Ang clenched his fists, his face full of anger.

He hated nothing more than being looked down upon.

Isn't the enemy's behavior a sign of contempt?!

"Someone, relay my orders!"

"Form ranks and prepare for battle!"

Cao Chun drew his sword from his waist and shouted:

"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, charge with me!"

"Let these fools see what real cavalry is like!"

However, before he could finish giving the order...

Su Chen, standing to the side, waved his hand and said:

"Wait, do you know who is leading these ambushes?"

The scout was momentarily stunned:

"I don't know, but I did see it."

"They were holding up a large flag with the character 'Zhang' on it."

"Zhang Liao?!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Chun flew into a rage.

How dare Zhang Liao, a mere nobody, look down on the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?

However, Su Chen, standing to the side, wore an expression of relief:

"So it was Zhang Liao."

"That makes things easier."

"Zihe, there's no need to attack."

"Pass down the order: have the new recruits go forward and resist."

"All we need to do is block their first wave of attacks."

"They won't pursue it further."

Upon hearing this, Cao Chun was immediately taken aback:

"Why do you say that, sir?"

"These people came on strong and clearly won't let this go easily!"

Su Chen chuckled:

"Zhang Liao was extremely skilled at flanking maneuvers."

"He doesn't have many troops, and his purpose this time is probably not to confront our army head-on."

"Therefore, he chose to attack our army on the vast plains."

"He just wants to slow down our army's advance."

Upon hearing Su Chen's analysis, everyone was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized what he meant.

In this way, it does indeed make sense.

Zhang Liao had fought for many years; he was certainly not a fool.

Gao Shun knew that an ambush needed to be set up in a good location, so how could Zhang Liao not know that?

"Well... we can't let them succeed, can we?"

After giving orders to the new recruits to defend the surrounding area, Cao Ang pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"That's right, how can the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry just sit here and watch the new recruits face the enemy?"

Cao Chun echoed indignantly.

"Don't want to be idle?"

"That's easy."

"There's something we really need the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to do."

Su Chen still had a smile on his face and said calmly.

"Sir, please speak quickly!"

Cao Chun's eyes lit up immediately.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have rested for so long, it's time for them to go back to the battlefield and hone their skills.

"run."

"Run as fast as you can."

"Run for your life in the opposite direction from the enemy."

Su Chen narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly.

"Yes, Your humble servant will certainly not dishonor you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Chun was stunned.

He said with an incredulous look:

"No, sir, what did you just say?"

"Let tigers and leopards ride them?"

"Wouldn't that make me a deserter?"

Cao Chun was completely dumbfounded.

He had absolutely no idea what Su Chen was thinking.

Why leave so many Tiger and Leopard Cavalry unused, and instead... send them to desert?

Is he drunk?

Su Chen waved his hand and said:

"I'm not joking."

"You need to give the enemy the impression that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have fled."

"Then you ordered the Tiger Cavalry and Leopard Cavalry to split into two groups and circle around to the left and right of the enemy army."

"Together with the new recruits, wrap them up like sandwiches."

"A sandwich...what's that?"

Cao Chun was stunned.

However, he couldn't care less about that now.

Su Chen had already explained it in such detail, and he immediately understood what Su Chen meant.

Zhang Liao did not have many troops under his command.

Surround them and trap them like turtles in a jar!

"This subordinate will go immediately!"

Cao Chun immediately rubbed his hands together, looking very motivated.

When it comes to speed, no one can match the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!

Even if you run in the opposite direction.

We came back after going in a big circle.

They were definitely not comparable to ordinary cavalry!

You should know that the warhorses selected by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were all carefully chosen from beyond the Great Wall!

Even in the remote border regions where there are many horses, they are among the best Akhal-Teke horses!

"Right, just surround them so they can't escape."

"It's best to avoid a fight."

Su Chen issued another order.

Why?

Cao Chun was puzzled.

He had so many questions about Su Chen's arrangements.

"Just do as instructed."

"You'll find out soon enough."

Su Chen gripped the horse's reins, calmly gazing ahead.

Ahead, Zhang Liao's troops were already faintly visible.

We absolutely cannot let him get away!
