Meanwhile, at the Wancheng City Lord's Mansion.

"Wenhe, aren't you being overly cautious?"

"Having met him today, I realize that Su Chen is just an ordinary person."

"He just has good insight; he was able to see through your identity at a glance."

"There's nothing else."

Zhang Xiu, half-drunk, shook his head and spoke to Jia Xu.

At the dinner table, Su Chen did nothing except appear to be a bit picky about food.

As the vanguard, weren't we here to check on the situation in Wancheng?

However, Su Chen sat there obediently, not asking or probing anything.

It's like they came here specifically to be guests.

Jia Xu was slightly taken aback, and after a moment of contemplation, he spoke:

"If that's really the case, then that would be great..."

To be honest, Jia Xu was also somewhat disappointed.

He originally thought that Su Chen must be a talented person to have received such high praise from Cao Cao.

Su Chen recognized him at a glance, which made Jia Xu even more wary of him.

However, to everyone's surprise, Su Chen stopped doing anything after that.

He looked determined to win.

There was absolutely no sign of strategy involved.

They didn't even bother to observe; after finishing their meal, they went straight back to camp to sleep!

Jia Xu had met many talented strategists, but none were like Su Chen.

Moreover, he drank quite a lot, and he was walking unsteadily.

"Never mind, let's wait for Minister Cao to arrive before we talk about it."

"This may not necessarily be a bad thing for our army."

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, a sinister look flashing across his face.

"Report!"

Just then, the scout's voice came from outside the door:

"General, I have a secret report from the front!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu immediately stood up, grabbed the book, and began to read it.

Upon seeing the content, Zhang Xiu burst into laughter:

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"This Cao Cao is indeed extremely arrogant!"

"This time, they didn't even bring Guo Jia, Xun Yu, or Cheng Yu with them, and even Xiahou Dun and the others are gone."

"It seems they trust us! What a golden opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu remained unmoved, and instead spoke in a sinister tone:

"General, have you truly decided whether you wish to fight Cao Cao?"

Zhang Xiu immediately narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with fanaticism:

"Why haven't you thought it through?"

"This is absolutely a godsend!"

"If we kill Cao Cao, his army will be leaderless."

"Then our opportunity will come!"

"Sir, please tell me, what should we do to make Cao Cao lower his guard?"

However, Jia Xu did not answer immediately, but instead asked in return:

"Didn't the general previously agree to surrender?"

"Excuse my bluntness, but doing so carries considerable risk."

"If we fail, we could very well face utter ruin."

Zhang Xiu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Initially, I did intend to surrender."

"But Cao Cao is going too far! He completely disregards me!"

"Sending a few greenhorns as the vanguard is nothing short of humiliating me!"

"Whether it's Cao Ang or this Su Chen or not."

"The commander of this large army is actually an unknown junior officer!"

"How can I swallow such humiliation?"

At this point, Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth and said:

"Didn't you say earlier, when you offered your plan, that you indeed had a way to deal with Cao Cao?"

"Please feel free to speak, sir, I'm ready!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Xu sighed softly and said:

"I do have a method."

"But if you want to implement this, General, you should be mentally prepared."

Zhang Xiu waved his hand:

"Please speak, sir!"

Zhang Xiu had already made his decision.

No matter what, we have to teach Cao Cao a lesson!

What he hated most in his life was those who looked down on him.

Even Cao Cao was no exception!

Jia Xu then slowly spoke:

"Cao Cao was meticulous and extremely suspicious."

"Even the most arrogant person will be wary of being forced to surrender this time."

"If our army launches a surprise attack rashly, he will definitely take precautions."

"However, he has one fatal flaw."

"By exploiting this weakness, our army will have a reason to launch a surprise attack, and he will not be able to anticipate it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up immediately:

"Please speak, sir!"

Jia Xu continued:

"Cao Cao was a womanizer; that was his greatest flaw!"

Zhang Xiu immediately burst into laughter:

"What do you think it is?!"

"Then send some beautiful women over, let him immerse himself in their charms!"

"What's so difficult about that?"

Jia Xu shook his head and said:

"If the general offers it up voluntarily, Cao Cao will definitely be on guard."

"If you want to catch Cao Cao off guard, you have to let him discover the beauty himself."

"Moreover, ordinary beauties could not catch Cao Cao's eye."

"In Wancheng, there is only one woman who fits this description."

Zhang Xiu's eyes narrowed instantly, and she immediately became extremely alert.

"Does the gentleman recall that General Zhang Ji had a concubine named Zou?"

As he spoke, a sinister look appeared on Jia Xu's face.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu's eyes widened immediately:

"What?!"

"Sir, isn't this ridiculous?"

"Even if Madam Zou is a concubine, she's still my aunt!"

"How could I possibly commit such a treasonous act as handing over my uncle's widow to that traitor Cao Cao?!"

Zhang Xiu never expected that the beautiful woman Jia Xu mentioned who met the criteria was actually his aunt!

Only Jia Xu would dare to say such a thing!

If it were anyone else, Zhang Xiu would have twisted their head off without hesitation!

Jia Xu, however, remained calm and said:

"It is common knowledge that Cao Cao had a strange habit: he was fond of other men's wives."

"Ms. Zou is beautiful and best fits this condition."

At this point, Jia Xu paused, then continued:

"The choice is in the general's hands."

"If the general wishes to achieve great things, he must make sacrifices."

After saying this, Jia Xu fell silent.

For him, whether Zhang Xiu attacked Cao Cao or not, it wouldn't make much difference.

Jia Xu had long ago devised a plan to escape unscathed.

The plan has been devised; the choice is naturally in Zhang Xiu's hands.

Zhang Xiu frowned deeply, his face showing some difficulty.

After a long silence, he narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Sir, what should I do?"

Hearing this, Jia Xu was not surprised at all and continued:

"It's very simple, just throw a big banquet to welcome Cao Cao."

"After Cao Cao had eaten and drunk his fill, he brought Lady Zou into his sights."

"As for the follow-up, I will make the arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiu hesitated for a moment before finally nodding.

Anyway, Zou was not Zhang Ji's legal wife, but just a concubine.

In that case, whether or not you call her "aunt" is the same thing.

As long as there is a way to get rid of Cao Cao, why worry about not achieving our great cause?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu clenched his fists tightly:

"Cao Cao, you dare to underestimate me!"

"Once you enter the city, if you dare to have any designs on my aunt..."

"I will make you pay!"

After saying this, Zhang Xiu's eyes burned with fervor.

As long as Cao Cao is eliminated, the title of the Spear King of the North will resound throughout the world!
