Zhang Xiu looked at the Cao army that had suddenly surged into the surrounding area, and his expression became increasingly shocked.

"What's going on?!"

"Where did all these Cao Cao soldiers come from?!"

Zhang Xiu struggled to break free from the encirclement of Cao Ang and the others, looking around in shock.

However, no one could answer him.

The only response he received was the sight of his soldiers vanishing like snowflakes.

"Where is the master? Where is he?!"

Faced with such a dire situation, Zhang Xiu's first reaction was to seek out Jia Xu.

"I don't know... Sir didn't come with us to fight this battle."

"Sir, you are, after all, a scholar, so..."

The adjutant's answer made Zhang Xiu's face turn extremely ugly.

With Jia Xu not around and facing this situation, he truly didn't know what to do.

"Capture Cao Cao, take him alive!"

Just when he was at his wit's end, Zhang Xiu suddenly realized that Cao Cao was not far from him.

His eyes widened instantly, and with a roar, he raised his spear and charged towards Cao Cao.

Xu Huang and Yu Jin's armies were in the rear, blocked by Zhang Xiu's army.

It will take at least some time before they can get here.

Have the opportunity!

Zhang Xiu suddenly no longer wanted to kill Cao Cao.

If Cao Cao were killed, he would certainly not survive being surrounded by Cao Cao's army.

However, things will be different once Cao Cao is captured!

Even with a million Cao soldiers here, it would be useless to use Cao Cao as a hostage.

They absolutely could not stand by and watch Cao Cao be killed!

This is his only chance to survive, and his only chance to save Wancheng!

"You thief, you dare to lay a finger on my father!"

Zhang Xiu charged straight at Cao Ang; how could Cao Ang possibly agree to that?

Holding a long sword, he took the lead and stood in front of Cao Cao.

However, Zhang Xiu was incredibly brave.

Even with Cao Chun and Cao Anmin coming to his aid, the three of them were still no match for him.

It evokes a feeling reminiscent of the legendary battle of the Three Heroes against Lü Bu.

"Father, hurry! Don't let this thief catch up with us!"

Seeing that it was highly likely that he could not stop Zhang Xiu, Cao Ang roared.

This shout immediately jolted Cao Cao awake.

At this time, Dian Wei was still surrounded.

He already had multiple injuries on his body.

Fortunately, reinforcements arrived in time, and Dian Wei was clearly no longer in danger.

This is undoubtedly the best-case scenario right now!

Without saying a word, Cao Cao used the last of the Thirty-Six Stratagems.

Retreat is the best option!

He knew very well that although there was a large army here, if he were captured by Zhang Xiu, it would all be over.

"You traitor Cao, don't run! Surrender your life!"

Seeing that Cao Cao was about to leave, Zhang Xiu seized an opportunity and drew his bow and shot an arrow at Cao Cao.

"call out!"

An arrow, accompanied by the sound of it piercing the air, came hurtling towards Cao Cao's face.

"Father, be careful!"

Cao Ang cleaved Zhang Xiu with all his might, forcing him to retreat step by step.

Fortunately, Cao Cao's mount, Jueying, was a Ferghana horse.

Its speed even surpasses that of an arrow.

The arrow missed.

It hit Cao Cao's cloak perfectly.

Through the cloak, it sank deep into the rump of the Shadowless Horse.

The Shadowy Beast let out a shriek, startled, and darted about in all directions.

"Protect Sikong!"

Upon seeing this, the surrounding soldiers rushed towards Cao Cao's direction.

Zhang Xiujun charged forward recklessly from all sides.

Fortunately, Yu Jin and Xu Huang had already arrived and managed to stop Zhang Xiu's army, which had gone mad.

But more of Zhang Xiu's troops charged in from the other side.

They were about to reach Cao Cao.

"Even so, is it possible that I, Cao Cao, still cannot escape this calamity?!"

Upon seeing this, Cao Cao couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long roar.

He never expected that even though the situation had improved, he would still be caught up.

"Do not worry, my servant is coming!"

Just then, a loud shout rang out.

In the blink of an eye, the man and his horse, like a black lightning bolt, broke through Zhang Xiu's army's encirclement.

Behind him, countless Cao soldiers were still pouring in!

It's Cao Ren!

Cao Ren gripped his weapon tightly and swung it down, beheading two people.

They managed to get right up to Cao Cao.

"Sikong, mount your horse!"

Seeing that Jueying was already frightened, with blood all around him.

If Cao Cao were still on Jueying's back, he would definitely fall off.

With a loud shout, Cao Ren grabbed Cao Cao's armor.

At that moment, he unleashed astonishing arm strength, dragging Cao Cao onto his horse.

Under the protection of reinforcements, the two rode ahead of the enemy and successfully escaped to the North Gate despite being surrounded.

Cao Cao was still somewhat shaken at this point.

He had mostly sobered up, but his head was still a little dizzy.

Having been so terrified by such a life-or-death experience, he was still shaken even after leaving the North Gate.

"Damn Zhang Xiu, how dare he..."

"I will definitely kill him, and cut off his hands and feet!"

The Tiger Guards accompanying him were all wiped out; these were all elites he had selected!

There was also Dian Wei, and his nephew Cao Anmin.

If reinforcements hadn't arrived, they probably would have died here!

Thinking of all this, Cao Cao became furious.

He wished he could kill Zhang Xiu right now.

After his anger subsided somewhat, Cao Cao took a deep breath and looked at Cao Ren, saying:

"Zixiao, we are so grateful to have you here today!"

"And Ang'er, Xu Huang, and... that Yu Jin!"

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would really be dead here!"

Thinking about this, Cao Cao still felt a lingering fear.

Upon seeing this, Cao Ren paused for a moment before hurriedly saying:

"Sikong, although it was indeed I who came to provide reinforcements."

"But our arrival this time was entirely due to the orders of Chief Clerk Su!"

"If it weren't for his foresight in allowing us to ambush here beforehand..."

"We certainly couldn't have arrived that quickly."

Su Zhubu?

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao was slightly taken aback.

Chief Clerk Su? Which Chief Clerk Su could there be in the army?

"Su Jingming?"

Cao Cao's eyes widened, and he asked in a loud voice.

"Exactly."

"Sikong, this man is truly a talent!"

"If it weren't for what happened today, I would have thought he was just exaggerating."

"Now it seems he's not only talented, but he actually appears to be able to predict the future!"

Cao Ren said with no small amount of excitement.

He was deeply impressed by Su Chen as soon as he learned that Su Chen had already made his arrangements.

If he couldn't foresee the future, he really wouldn't know how to explain all of this.

Even though it sounds incredible.

But the facts were undeniable, leaving him no choice but to believe them.

"Mr. Su..."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly.

He was extremely shocked, beyond words.

At first, he was only half-believing and half-doubting.

But hearing Cao Ren say this, could it be that Su Chen really is a time traveler?

But... this is just too unbelievable, isn't it?

Let alone this era, even in Su Chen's time, such a thing might not be acceptable.

It's more mythical than mythology itself.

"Sikong, Sikong!"

Just then, shouts came from the north gate of the city.

Cao Cao looked closely.

The one shouting was none other than Dian Wei!
