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

at the same time.

Su Chen and Cao Ang, along with their army, have arrived at the Wei River.

Once you reach the Wei River, Wancheng is not far away.

In Su Chen's memory, it was when Cao Cao stationed his troops at the Wei River that he accepted Zhang Xiu's surrender.

"Report! The army led by the Grand Commandant has begun its march towards the Wei River."

"We expect to arrive in about three days. Please continue your journey to Wancheng!"

After the scout finished reporting the news, Su Chen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

I have a feeling that I am about to witness history.

This feeling is very subtle.

This made Su Chen look up and gaze in the direction of Wancheng, feeling quite emotional.

"Are you worried, sir, that Zhang Xiu is feigning surrender?"

Just then, Xu Huang, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask a question.

"Although Zhang Xiu was ambitious, he was completely obedient to Jia Xu and had no opinions of his own."

"Jia Xu is good at self-preservation. He knows that the gap between his strength and our army is too large, and he would never do something like throwing an egg against a rock."

"This surrender is by no means a feigned surrender."

Su Chen responded calmly.

"Then... why are you standing here in a daze, sir?"

Xu Huang asked with a wry smile.

Su Chen has been standing here for a quarter of an hour.

He just stared blankly at the sky, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Like Xu Huang, Cao Ang also had doubts.

Cao Ang looked at Su Chen's sometimes solemn and profound eyes, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

"Zihe, do you think... I might really die here?"

Suddenly, Cao Ang spoke up and asked.

This question made Cao Chun's eyes widen, and he looked at Cao Ang with a shocked expression:

"Zixiu, what makes you say such a thing?!"

"You don't actually believe that Mr. Su is some kind of... time traveler, do you?"

"Zhang Xiu has only about 10,000 soldiers, at most 20,000."

"He's just exaggerating, what are you afraid of?"

The matter concerns Su Chen being a time traveler and making a series of "prophecies".

Cao Chun wouldn't believe a single word.

This is utterly absurd.

Initially, Cao Ang and Cao Chun shared the same idea.

However, Su Chen is a really strange person.

He seems to possess a wisdom that is truly absent in this era.

A simplified salt-making method and an improved method for making horse harnesses.

These are not things that can be thought of suddenly; they obviously require accumulated experience over time to achieve.

Su Chen doesn't seem like a craftsman at all, let alone a salt maker.

How could he possibly possess such profound knowledge?

It's unreasonable, utterly unreasonable.

"Brother-in-law, don't think about it anymore."

"Since Sikong sent me here, I certainly won't let you die here."

"That Jia Xu is just an old silver coin, nothing to worry about."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ang's eyes widened immediately:

"What did you say?"

"My father said that no opponent should be underestimated, especially Jia Xu, who is a notorious strategist!"

"Back when my father was campaigning against Dong Zhuo..."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Chen interrupted him:

"Alright, brother-in-law, I didn't mean to belittle Jia Xu."

"Jia Xu is indeed very capable, but his main strategies are all based on the primary goal of ensuring that he himself is not implicated."

"A person with such sophisticated egoism, who incorporates it into their schemes, is bound to have flaws in their strategies."

Cao Ang felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this.

Sophisticated egoism?

What does that mean?

He could usually understand most of what Su Chen said, though he would occasionally throw out unfamiliar words.

"never mind."

Cao Ang, too lazy to think about it, said in a deep voice:

"According to what you said before, am I really going to die here?"

Su Chen shrugged and said:

"If it were before, yes."

"But now that you're my brother-in-law, I have to protect your safety."

A vein suddenly appeared on Cao Ang's face.

If Su Chen hadn't truly possessed some talent and earned his father's appreciation...

Cao Ang was determined to give this guy a punch.

That's shameless!

He keeps talking about his brother-in-law, even though his father hasn't agreed to this ridiculous marriage yet!

Why does this guy always have designs on his own sister?

Cao Ang completely ignored Su Chen's earlier statement about gaining Cao Cao's trust.

Nobody would believe what he said!

"So, Zhang Xiu has always been ambitious."

"If that's the case, why should we accept his surrender?"

"Why not just send a large army to the border and charge in one fell swoop?"

"Why risk all that danger?"

Cao Ang suppressed his anger and asked.

This is something he has never understood.

She dared not ask her father.

Judging from Cao Cao's expression, he was determined to accept the surrender.

Since we can't ask our father, let's ask Su Chen; maybe he'll have a good answer.

Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Cao Ang.

That look... it's like looking at an idiot.

Although Cao Ang had a decent personality, was good at fighting, and knew some strategy.

Why do you always get so hung up on things?

Just then, a voice suddenly came from the side:

"My lord, given the current situation, our army is actually... ill-equipped to engage in large-scale warfare with Zhang Xiu."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ang was taken aback and looked in the direction of the voice.

The speaker was none other than Xu Huang.

"What are your thoughts, General Xu?"

Cao Ang frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

Xu Huang glanced at Su Chen, and seeing that Su Chen didn't intend to continue, he cupped his hands and said:

"Xudu is a place of constant warfare."

"Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Lü Bu, and others were all eyeing us covetously."

"At this moment, a single move by our army could affect the entire situation."

After saying that, Xu Huang paused, then continued:

"Wancheng is a strategic location. If we can capture it, it will be much easier to conquer Yuan Shu, Lü Bu, and others later."

"But Zhang Xiu has at least ten thousand soldiers in his hands, and he can defend Wancheng."

"If we launch a strong attack, Yuan Shu, Lü Bu, and others are very likely to send troops to our aid, and may even attack Xuchang."

"Our army... does not currently have the resources to deal with Zhang Xiu with all its might."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ang was completely stunned.

He simply couldn't believe it.

This burly killer before me actually possesses such military strategy!

Upon closer reflection, it is indeed true!

The current Cao army is truly a case of "a single hair can affect the whole body."

If we were to go to war with Zhang Xiu, we would also have to be wary of Xu Du being ambushed.

Taking Wancheng by force is far more difficult than he imagined.

"General Xu is right. If Zhang Xiu wants to live, he has no choice but to surrender."

"And our army has no choice but to agree now."

"Even though I know Zhang Xiu isn't sincere, I still have to surrender."

Su Chen added calmly.

This truly made Cao Ang look at Xu Huang in a new light.

He can not only read maps, but also analyze situations based on them!

This isn't just a talent for killing; he's a talent for generalship, even a commander-in-chief!

This kind of general has been in the camp for so long without being discovered!

"But... what if Zhang Xiu still rebels? What should we do then?"

Cao Ang frowned slightly and continued to ask.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao's army is now facing considerable difficulties.

Why does it feel like everything I do is going to be tricky?
