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

How could Su Chen not understand the implication behind Guo Jia's words?

Su Chen naturally had his own unique considerations regarding the matter of marrying into the family.

It's not just because Qinghe was indeed a recorded beauty.

At the same time, it was also to dispel Cao Cao's doubts about him as quickly as possible.

Even if Su Chen was open-minded, he knew in his heart that Cao Cao would not believe Su Chen's identity as a time traveler so easily.

To gain Cao Cao's trust, becoming a member of the Cao family would be the best option.

"Cough cough..."

Cao Cao coughed twice, just about to speak and end the matter.

However, at that moment, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent.

"Report!"

"Reporting to the Prime Minister! Zhang Xiu of Wancheng has sent a letter of surrender!"

Upon hearing this, everyone around immediately stood up!

Cao Cao, in particular, looked at the letter handed to him by the messenger with a shocked expression.

Zhang Xiu surrendered!

Several days earlier, Cao Cao had already conceived the idea of ​​attacking Wancheng.

The army is now ready to march.

Just then, Su Chen appeared and recounted the details of the Battle of Wancheng.

This made the naturally suspicious Cao Cao linger for a little longer.

It was during this period that Zhang Xiu was filled with anxiety and fear, and on Jia Xu's advice, he sent over the letter of surrender.

After reading the contents, Cao Cao's expression became particularly complex.

Everything that happened was exactly as Su Chen had said before!

Zhang Xiu surrendered before attacking Wancheng!

"Minister, Zhang Xiu's surrender at this time must be suspicious!"

"This humble general believes..."

Just then, General Cao Ren suddenly stepped forward and spoke.

Before he could finish speaking, Cao Cao waved his hand and slowly said:

"Zixiu, Zhongde, and Fengxiao, the three of you stay here."

"The rest of you, return to camp to rest!"

Upon hearing this, everyone quietly left.

Su Chen was no exception.

He was well aware that he was still an outsider at the moment.

Right now, Boss Cao still doesn't trust me enough.

Since that's the case, there's no need to rush.

As for what happened next, even if Cao Cao were told, he might not have believed it.

Soon, everyone left the camp.

"Father, I never imagined that... Su Chen actually predicted it correctly?!"

"Could it be that he really knows the future?!"

After everyone left, Cao Ang spoke with a look of surprise.

He never imagined that Su Chen's nonsense would actually come true!

He had never believed that someone like Zhang Xiu would surrender before they even met.

However, the facts were undeniable, leaving him no choice but to believe them!

"Young master, please don't be impatient."

"This doesn't prove anything."

Just then, Guo Jia slowly spoke:

"Although Zhang Xiu was a reckless man, his strategist Jia Xu was a shrewd and calculating man."

"Wancheng's military strength is far inferior to ours, and if war breaks out, they will certainly not be a match for our army."

"Surrender is also a very likely outcome."

"This doesn't necessarily mean that Su Chen can foresee the future."

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Ang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He already disliked Su Chen, and now Su Chen was even eyeing his sister.

If Su Chen truly possessed such extraordinary abilities, then things would certainly not go as he wished.

Now that he heard Guo Jia say that, he felt relieved.

"Minister Sikong, I believe the strategist's words are true."

Cheng Yu also slowly spoke:

"This matter certainly doesn't prove anything; it only shows that Su Chen does indeed have the ability to predict the future."

"But we can't rule out the possibility that he might be a spy sent by Zhang Xiu!"

"Previously, it was said that in the Battle of Wancheng, the young master and General Dian would die on the battlefield, and our army would suffer a crushing defeat."

"Thinking about it this way, it might not be nothing more than alarmist talk, meant to scare our troops!"

Cao Ang also chimed in:

"That's right, Father, you mustn't fall for this man's tricks!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and remained silent.

After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke:

"Zhang Xiu's surrender at this time is indeed a good thing for our army."

"In that case, let's test the waters first."

Normally, Cao Cao would have been overjoyed to hear this news.

At this time, Cao Cao's foundation was unstable, and Yuan Shao and others were eyeing him covetously.

If we were to actually go to war with Zhang Xiu at this time, who knows how much trouble it would cause.

There is nothing better than Zhang Xiu surrendering.

However, Su Chen's appearance served as a wake-up call for him.

If Zhang Xiu really does change his mind and turn the tables on Su Chen, as he said, then there will be a big problem.

"Father, so you mean...?"

Seeing Cao Cao's solemn expression, Cao Ang felt a pang of anxiety.

Cao Cao said in a deep voice:

"Whether Su Chen's words are true or false, we must be on guard."

"Zhang Xiu is nothing but a commoner, not worth worrying about."

"But we have already seen who Jia Xu is."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ang immediately straightened up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said:

"Father, since that's the case, why don't you let me go and find out what's really going on with Zhang Xiu?"

"Father, please allow me to lead a detachment as the vanguard to see if Zhang Xiu has truly surrendered!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Cao Ang.

In the past, he would have agreed immediately.

He had complete peace of mind regarding his eldest son, Cao Ang.

Cao Ang is young and a bit impetuous.

But Cao Cao was very reassured by both his abilities and what else he possessed.

But recalling what Su Chen had said—that Wancheng was the place where Cao Ang had died—Cao Cao couldn't help but feel uneasy about this matter.

"Father, please don't believe Su Chen's nonsense."

"Even if Zhang Xiu were incredibly bold, he would never dare to deceive our army about this matter."

"I'm sure there won't be any unexpected problems on my trip."

Seeing Cao Cao remain silent, Cao Ang spoke with some urgency.

Cao Cao slowly began to speak:

"Very well, Ang'er, I will give you five hundred men."

"Take these five hundred men as the vanguard and go to Wancheng to check the situation."

"Oh, and bring Zihe and Su Chen too!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Ang was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

With Cao Chun by his side, he was naturally completely at ease.

But upon hearing Su Chen's name, Cao Ang immediately became restless and asked in confusion:

"Father, why did you bring Su Chen along?"

"If he really is Zhang Xiu's spy, then...wouldn't that be exactly what he wanted?"

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

"Su Chen's manner of speaking is indeed peculiar, but he is indeed a man of great talent."

"I had a long chat with him, and I believe he is not one to be subservient to a mere Zhang Xiu."

"Since he claims to be a time traveler, having him accompany you this time will allow us to prepare for the future."

"Furthermore, this is a good opportunity to test Su Chen's true abilities and see if he really possesses the power to foresee the future!"

Guo Jia nodded slightly and said:

"Young master, what Sikong said is true."

"This person keeps claiming to be a time traveler."

"In that case, why not bring him along?"

"If he truly possesses the ability to foresee the future and know what dangers lie ahead, then he can take precautions."

"If he's just a conman, then at least we can expose his true colors."

Cao Ang was still somewhat puzzled.

But after hearing what everyone said, he understood the gist of it and bowed in response:

"Here you go!"
