Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past three days, Su Chen, Cao Ang, and others led five hundred vanguard soldiers and stationed themselves in Wancheng.

During this time, Zhang Xiu was very careful and basically did not find any flaws.

This greatly annoyed Cao Ang, yet he dared not make any significant moves to monitor the city.

"Excellent! Today, Father will lead his army to accept our surrender!"

"Let's leave Wancheng as soon as possible, it's too oppressive!"

Upon seeing the message delivered by the scout, Cao Ang was overjoyed.

He'd been really bored lately.

Zhang Xiu's caution is hardly as satisfying as a direct, real fight with him.

Cao Chun was also all smiles, as his thoughts were basically the same as Cao Ang's.

Only Su Chen stood there, his brows slightly furrowed, seemingly lost in thought.

"This Su Chen is a complete fraud."

"I don't see anything particularly talented about him."

Cao Ang glanced in Su Chen's direction and said with dissatisfaction.

At first, he thought that Su Chen had been sent there to take some action.

Little did anyone know that Su Chen did nothing but eat and sleep for the past three days.

Cao Ang became increasingly disappointed the more he looked at it.

Seeing this, Cao Chun nodded in agreement:

"Yes, I originally thought this person had the ability to judge people, but it turns out that's all he can do."

Cao Ang narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"With such limited abilities, you still dare to try and take advantage of Qinghe?"

"When my father comes here, I will tell him everything he has done during this time."

"How can such an idle person be allowed to remain in our army camp?"

Just then, the two saw Xu Huang come to Su Chen's side.

After whispering to each other for a moment, the two hurriedly entered the tent.

"What's going on here? Should we go take a look?"

Cao Chun looked at the two departing figures with a suspicious expression and asked in a deep voice.

"No need, Father will arrive soon."

"Prepare to welcome Father."

"What else can he do? He's just good at eating, drinking, and having fun."

Cao Ang said with a disdainful look:

"When Father returns, we must pull Xu Huang away from him."

"We must not waste such a talented general."

Although she was very dissatisfied with Su Chen.

But Cao Ang had seen Xu Huang's abilities.

He had no desire to let idle people like Xu Huang and Su Chen fool around.

Meanwhile, in Su Chen's tent.

The two strode to the desk.

Xu Huang rummaged in his pocket and pulled out a crumpled strip of cloth, his expression grave.

"Sir, we have completed the entire exploration. This is the current defense map of Wancheng."

"Sir, your foresight is truly remarkable. The points you mentioned earlier are indeed questionable."

"With Sikong about to lead his army, Zhang Xiu is bound to make a big move!"

Su Chen glanced at the drawings Xu Huang had made and his brows furrowed slightly.

It seems his guess was correct.

In fact, regardless of whether or not the Zou family matter occurred, Zhang Xiu would have eventually taken action.

His goal was to kill Cao Cao.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, Zou was just one of Zhang Ji's concubines.

If Zhang Xiu truly wanted to surrender, why would he risk assassinating Cao Cao over something so trivial?

"After the Grand Commandant's army enters the city, you will contact the various generals and arrange for defenses to be deployed in these areas."

"Today is the day Sikong arrives in Wancheng, and Zhang Xiu will definitely make a move."

"Our deployment needs to be swift."

After a brief analysis, Su Chen decisively gave the order.

Upon hearing this, Xu Huang stood there dumbfounded.

He pursed his lips, and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Sir, I am currently just a junior lieutenant. Even if I were to tell the generals, they might not believe me."

After saying that, Xu Huang sighed.

It's not that he didn't want to, it's just that that's the reality.

Xu Huang had only recently joined Cao Cao's army and had no achievements to speak of.

Even before that, he had no particularly distinguished military achievements.

He was a marginal figure in Cao Cao's camp and had no say in anything.

In a situation like this, it would be better to let him tell the generals where to deploy their troops.

It's good enough that they don't shut you out.

Su Chen's expression froze slightly.

He overlooked that point.

In Su Chen's mind, Xu Huang had always been a general in Cao Cao's army.

After all, he was Xu Huang, one of the Five Elite Generals, also known as the Right General.

I almost forgot that Xu Huang is still just an unknown nobody.

"It's alright, your only responsibility is to deliver the drawn maps to the generals."

"Leave the rest to me."

Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but sigh softly and speak.

Seniority is a deadly thing.

Especially in ancient times, seniority was a factor in military campaigns.

Without any notable achievements, one is definitely a marginal figure in the camp.

"Sir, why don't you inform the eldest son and General Cao Chun about this matter?"

"The two of them have absolute authority in the camp. If they speak up, it will definitely be twice as effective."

Just then, Xu Huang's eyes lit up, and he made a suggestion.

Su Chen decisively shook his head:

"No."

"Regardless of whether the two of them believe me or not, it would be very troublesome if the eldest young master mistakenly thought that I wanted to interfere with the military camp's deployment."

"You should lead your five hundred men to defend these key positions, and do not let your guard down."

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Xu Huang nodded heavily.

Xu Huang now trusts no one but Su Chen.

This ability to plan ahead is truly remarkable.

Xu Huang was so impressed that he thought Su Chen might actually have traveled back from the future.

Currently, the only person Su Chen can dispatch is Xu Huang.

The current situation has only strengthened Su Chen's resolve.

We must make a name for ourselves in the army through the Battle of Wancheng.

Otherwise, even if he knows the future, it will be useless.

There would be no chance to use one's skills.

……

A moment later, in the vanguard camp of Cao Cao's army.

"You lot, come with me, we're going here..."

Xu Huang was about to make the arrangements.

"What is General Xu trying to do?"

Just then, a voice suddenly interrupted Xu Huang.

"The eldest son?"

Xu Huang never expected that it would be Cao Ang and Cao Chun who interrupted him!

"We're still in Wancheng. What if Zhang Xiu discovers your troop movement now?"

Cao Ang looked at everything before him, his brows furrowing tightly.

Xu Huang was speechless for a moment, unsure how to respond.

He wanted to reveal Su Chen's plan, but remembering what Su Chen had said, he could only swallow his words.

"General Xu, what do you intend to do?"

Cao Ang frowned slightly, strode up to Xu Huang, and asked the question.

Although Xu Huang was the commander of the vanguard, Cao Ang was still in charge of everything.

Xu Huang frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:

"Reporting to the eldest son, the Minister of Works will arrive in Wancheng today."

"The master is worried that Zhang Xiu might do something unusual."

"I have been specifically instructed to place people in various locations in advance, as a precaution."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ang couldn't help but snort coldly:

"What does Su Chen mean by this?"

"They spent three days eating, drinking, and having fun in the camp, and now that Father is arriving, they're starting to make plans again?!"
