At this moment, not far outside the city.

Cao Ang looked at Wancheng with a shocked expression, his heart filled with unease.

"Oh no, this embroidery is really upside down!"

"Zihe, quick! We must go save Father!"

Cao Ang was now completely panicked.

He didn't even attend the banquet tonight because Cao Cao was unwilling to punish Su Chen.

Cao Ang felt depressed.

The evidence was laid bare before them, and their father, who always valued his own words, was present.

Why is Su Chen being ignored all the time?

He couldn't understand it. Was it just because Su Chen claimed to be a "time traveler"?

However, just as he was preparing to return to the city, shouts of battle and flashes of fire suddenly rang out.

"kill!"

With a roar, Cao Ang led Cao Chun and the other two into the city, fighting desperately.

An ominous premonition settled over him.

There aren't many soldiers in the city!

Most of Cao's army was still near Wancheng.

In order not to disturb the people, the surrender was accepted peacefully.

Whether the father was still alive at that time was unknown!

"Hurry, hurry!"

"We must save my father!"

Cao Ang gripped his weapon tightly and plunged into the city.

However, once he entered the city, the scene inside stunned him.

Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao's army...

What? The outer perimeter is all Cao Cao's army?

"Hahaha, well done!"

"Keep pressing forward, we must capture Zhang Xiu alive!"

"I knew this guy was up to no good; tonight is his death night!"

Just then, a hearty laugh rang out.

"That familiar voice..."

"Uncle Zixiao?!"

Cao Ang looked at the source of the sound with a shocked expression.

The speaker was none other than Cao Ren!

At this moment, Cao Ren was ordering his soldiers to catch Zhang Xiu's army lying in ambush as if they were rats.

"Zixiu?"

"Perfect timing! This embroidery was indeed reversed!"

Upon seeing Cao Ang, Cao Ren immediately burst into laughter and said:

"Come on, let's fight the enemy together and wipe out these rebels!"

Cao Ang was utterly shocked:

"Zixiao Shu, did you already know Zhang Xiu was going to rebel?"

"What's going on with these soldiers?"

He was completely dumbfounded.

Wasn't Cao Ren on an inspection tour with Su Chen?

How did so many soldiers suddenly enter the city?

"How could I possibly have that ability?"

"These are all part of your plan, sir!"

Cao Ren waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Before the banquet began, the gentleman told me how many hiding spots there were in the city."

"Xu Huang, Yu Jin, and I, along with our troops, each led our forces to garrison here, awaiting the arrival of night."

At first, I thought that little rascal Zhang Xiu wouldn't dare to rebel.

"As you predicted, Zhang Xiu indeed launched his rebellion in the dead of night!"

"Sir, you are truly a master strategist!"

At this point, Cao Ren already had a strong liking for Su Chen.

Although Su Chen only made a simple deployment, Cao Ren didn't even understand it at the time.

But now he understands!

Su Chen seemed to have known Zhang Xiujun's hiding place all along.

They were captured by Cao Ren's army as soon as they set out.

Zhang Xiu's army was completely caught off guard, and in less than a few minutes, the entire army was wiped out.

"And what about Father? How is he?"

Cao Ang was unable to express his shock and looked at Cao Ren with a puzzled expression.

Cao Ren waved his hand and said:

Don't worry!

"The master has already made the arrangements."

"I will lead a large army on the outer perimeter, ostensibly for inspection, but actually to hide troops."

"Inside are Xu Huang and Yu Jin, each leading their troops and waiting for their opportunity."

"Sikong will be fine."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ang couldn't help but swallow hard.

Even now, he still can't believe what he's hearing.

Is it... over?

Zhang Xiu's rebellion this time was completely unexpected by everyone.

But Cao Ang never expected that Su Chen, who seemed carefree, had actually seen through everything!

Was all of this... arranged by Su Chen?

For a moment, Cao Ang felt a mix of emotions.

Now he finally understood why Cao Cao hadn't mentioned a word about expelling Su Chen.

This Su Chen is truly a talent!

"Alright, stop thinking about it!"

"Follow me and charge in to reinforce Sikong!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Ren gripped his broadsword tightly, preparing to charge in.

"General Zixiao, there's no need to rush in."

Just then, a voice suddenly interrupted Cao Ren.

"Who dares to order this general around?!"

Cao Ren frowned, his face full of dissatisfaction.

How could he miss such an opportunity to kill the enemy?

However, upon seeing the owner of the voice, Cao Ren was taken aback:

"Sir? What are you doing here?"

Cao Ang was also taken aback upon hearing this.

Upon seeing Su Chen, he was momentarily speechless.

"The city has already been garrisoned, so the Minister of Works will be in no danger."

Su Chen smiled slightly and said:

"The problem within the city now is not defense, but how to capture Zhang Xiu."

"Zhang Xiu's army is not in the city."

"If General Zixiao goes there now, he will basically be looking for nothing."

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Cao Ren's face showed a look of regret.

But soon, he chuckled and said:

"Thanks to your foresight tonight, sir!"

"Otherwise, the consequences are truly unimaginable!"

Su Chen waved his hand and said:

"No need for such polite words."

"I never expected Zhang Xiu to be so stupid."

"He thought his disguise was flawless and didn't even notice our army's advance movements."

"It seems that Jia Xu has also let his guard down."

Su Chen originally thought that Jia Xu would consider things more comprehensively.

Therefore, there was some concern during the deployment, for fear of alerting the enemy.

Little did anyone know that Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu were completely focused on capturing Cao Cao.

They didn't notice the movements of Cao Cao's army on the periphery at all.

To put it bluntly, they were misled by the appearance of Cao Cao's army being stationed outside the city.

"gentlemen……"

Upon seeing this, Cao Ang strode forward, about to say something.

But the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter a sound.

Cao Chun, who was standing next to him, also lowered his head.

Neither of them expected that Su Chen had arranged everything in advance!

All of this made Zhang Xiu's sudden rebellion seem like a clown jumping around, and it was easily dealt with.

"What's wrong, brother-in-law? Do you really think I knew Wancheng was in trouble and didn't take action?"

Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly.

Cao Ang pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Sir, I misunderstood you before."

"I'm sorry, I..."

Su Chen waved his hand and said:

"Brother-in-law, stop talking. Who told you to be my future brother-in-law?"

"While we don't need to rush in right now, it's not the time to let our guard down."

"General Dian and the Minister of Works should not yet know about the reinforcements."

"Their residence is closest to the north gate, so they will definitely escape through the north gate."

"And Zhang Xiu will also pursue them towards the north gate."

After saying that, Su Chen smiled slightly and said:

"Brother-in-law, the chance to capture Zhang Xiu alive is now yours."
