"Does the Grand Commandant mean that I should accompany the eldest son to Wancheng?"

Upon hearing this news, Su Chen couldn't sit still any longer and immediately asked.

"That's right, so why, sir, are you unwilling?"

Cao Ang looked at Su Chen with a hint of disdain.

He wanted to see how Su Chen would react after he found out about this.

Su Chen's worried expression only confirmed his suspicion that Su Chen was a fraud.

Su Chen touched his nose, paused, and then said:

"Going to Wancheng to check on the situation is not a bad idea."

"But young master, this journey is fraught with danger, and we cannot bring only five hundred men."

"Even if I only bring five hundred vanguard soldiers, I should at least bring some military officers!"

Cao Ang was immediately amused upon hearing this:

"Oh? Then, sir, who should we take with us?"

"Isn't Zihe alone enough?"

Su Chen immediately shook his head and said:

"Definitely not enough!"

Although Cao Chun is the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they don't even have the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry now.

Cao Chun is now just a hot-headed young general with only martial prowess.

Taking him along, how can that be safe?

Although he knew that Zhang Xiu's initial surrender was sincere, he dared not confront Cao Cao directly.

But historical records are just historical records; who can know whether the actual situation changed or not?

Su Chen had no intention of gambling with his life.

"Will Generals Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan accompany us?"

"Sir, both of my uncles have important duties to attend to in defending the city; how could they possibly lead the vanguard as generals?"

"What about generals like Yue Jin, Cao Hong, and Xu Chu?"

"Sir, these generals are all high-ranking officers, and it is absolutely impossible for them to go into battle with the vanguard."

Cao Ang was speechless.

Su Chen frowned slightly, then his eyes suddenly lit up and he said:

"What about Zhang Liao? Zhang Liao can definitely handle it, right?"

Who is Zhang Liao? Zhang Shiwan! He's incredibly powerful!

Moreover, he was a surrendered general, and certainly did not hold a position as high as the generals mentioned earlier.

I'll feel at ease having him with me!

However, Cao Ang rolled his eyes at him in annoyance:

"Sir, are you joking?!"

"Zhang Liao, also known as Zhang Wenyuan, was a general under Lü Bu!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen was stunned.

I almost forgot, Zhang Liao was still following Lü Bu at this time.

It's a pity. If Liao Shen were here, we wouldn't be afraid to go.

"Sir, if you are afraid, you can naturally ask your father."

"I don't think Father would make things difficult for a cowardly clerk."

"Stop talking nonsense and disrupting morale."

Cao Ang frowned, clearly displeased with Su Chen's behavior.

Su Chen didn't hear what he said at all.

Speaking of surrendered generals, his eyes lit up again:

"Then... what about Xu Huang? Xu Huang, Xu Gongming, isn't he currently serving under the Minister of Works?"

Cao Ang was completely stunned.

How does Su Chen know so much about the generals in Cao Cao's army camp?

Xu Huang had only just joined Cao Cao's army, and he already knew about him?!

"Sir, if you are afraid, you can tell your father that you will not go."

"What nonsense are you spouting here and at this time?"

Cao Ang immediately became angry and said:

"Xu Huang is nothing but a surrendered general. How could a mere surrendered general be qualified to serve as our vanguard?!"

"If you continue to be so unreasonable..."

However, before Cao Ang could finish speaking, Su Chen interrupted him, saying:

"A surrendered general?"

"Are you familiar with Zhou Yafu's character?"

Cao Ang was both angry and amused:

"What does this have to do with Zhou Yafu?"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"If you want me to go, then let General Xu Huang accompany me."

"Otherwise, you should find someone else who can help you."

"If you want to die, I won't stop you."

Seeing Cao Ang's nonchalant attitude upon hearing Xu Huang's name, how could Su Chen possibly give him a friendly look?

Xu Huang!

He was truly a fierce general under Cao Cao, and was praised for having the style of Zhou Yafu!

He is currently just a minor surrendered general.

But after the Battle of Guandu, he truly made many outstanding contributions!

His military tactics were truly masterful, and his martial prowess was also extremely high.

Guan Yu was also once his defeated opponent.

Zhang Xiu didn't have many great generals under his command. If this person were to accompany him, even if problems arose, they could be easily resolved.

But how could Cao Ang know these thoughts?

In his eyes, Su Chen was clearly just being unreasonable.

But if Su Chen didn't go, he really made things difficult for him.

Cao Cao had specifically instructed him to do this. If Su Chen didn't go, what would be the purpose of this test?

Thinking of this, Cao Ang was furious, but he could only keep it to himself.

"Sir, please don't worry, I'll go and discuss this with my father."

After saying that, he went to the commander's tent with a displeased look and told Cao Cao what Su Chen had said verbatim.

This left Cao Cao stunned.

He glanced at Cheng Yu, then at Guo Jia, and murmured in surprise:

"Why did Su Jingming insist on bringing Xu Huang along?"

Cao Cao was naturally aware of Xu Huang.

Although he was brave, Cao Cao had no shortage of brave generals under his command.

Why is Su Chen paying so much attention to this mere junior officer?

"As the gentleman said, he has the style of Zhou Yafu."

"Mr. Su will absolutely not go without him."

Cao Ang said irritably.

"The style of Zhou Yafu..."

"Master, Su Chen's evaluation of General Xu Huang is quite high."

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia chuckled.

"Ang'er, go and call Gongming here first."

After a moment of contemplation, Cao Cao spoke.

"Here you go!"

……

A moment later, Xu Huang was brought to the camp.

Although Cao Cao had a good impression of this man, he was, after all, just a general.

Now he wanted to see just how charming Xu Huang was that he was considered to have the style of Zhou Yafu.

Who is Zhou Yafu?

That was a renowned general!

Such a evaluation of a military general is undoubtedly a very high compliment.

However, after chatting with Xu Huang, Cao Cao couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Good guy!

Xu Huang was truly a genius!

He spoke eloquently and knowledgeably about the situation in Wancheng.

Moreover, he also has considerable experience in commanding troops and deploying them in battle!

Even with such talent, he is in no way inferior to other great generals!

Such a capable general, how could he not have discovered him sooner!

"No wonder...no wonder Mr. Su praised this man, saying he possessed the spirit of Zhou Yafu!"

"It seems this person truly possesses some talent!"

After seeing Xu Huang off, Cao Cao said with some surprise.

He never imagined that a mere general could possess such talent.

They had only just come under my command, yet Su Chen had such a keen eye for talent!

"Sikong..."

Even Guo Jia, seeing this, couldn't help but take a deep breath and slowly say:

"Xu Huang could only say that, let alone us, even Yang Feng, who had previously served him, knew absolutely nothing about it!"

"Otherwise, how could such a capable general have his talents discovered without any opportunity to distinguish himself?"

"If Su Chen is said to have the ability to judge character, then... he has only been in our camp for half a day!"

"Could Su Chen really be from the future?"
