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

The emperor's edict was issued immediately upon being given.

In just two days, it was announced to the world.

He ordered Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Cao Cao to attack the rebel Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao was no less decisive.

Since the imperial edict has already been issued.

He then reinforced Cao Ren's troops, bringing the total to over 60,000, and led them south.

However, Cao Cao's preparations were naturally appropriate.

On the other hand, it's a different story.

……

Meanwhile, in Xiaopei City.

Liu Bei's expression was particularly solemn as he looked at the imperial edict in his hand.

Although Liu Bei had openly sent troops to attack Yuan Shu.

But in reality, just like the coalition of eighteen warlords back then, it was all just for show.

After all, Liu Bei only had a small number of troops under his command.

If you put all your assets into it just because you're going to war.

Liu Bei wasn't really willing either.

This time, they even only sent a few deputy generals with a few thousand men.

But the issuance of this edict left him completely stunned.

The imperial edict addressed him as "Imperial Uncle" repeatedly, using an extremely affectionate tone.

But every time Liu Bei saw those two words, he felt a headache coming on.

"Brother, why do you look so worried?"

Zhang Fei, after holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak:

"Weren't we originally planning to attack Yuan Shu?"

"Now look at us! The Emperor's decree has been issued; we're now a regular army!"

"What's there to think about? Just go and take him down!"

"That bastard Yuan Shu, I knew he was no good back then!"

"Once I catch him, I'm going to use my eighteen-foot spear to stab him with a thousand holes!"

Zhang Fei was impetuous and didn't think that far ahead.

For the first two days, Liu Bei was still worried about many things regarding this military expedition.

Now that we have the title of Emperor, what is there to fear?

"Of course I'll go."

Liu Bei sighed softly and slowly began to speak:

"But... if I lead the troops into battle, what about Lü Bu...?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fei immediately understood.

Lü Bu and Liu Bei had been locked in a stalemate for a long time during this period.

Don't underestimate Liu Bei just because he only had Xiaopei.

But in Lü Bu's eyes, that was a thorn in his side.

But it's just not easy to take it down.

If Lü Bu seizes the opportunity now, he can take Xiaopei directly.

After this campaign against Yuan Shu...

Liu Bei's army was once again forced to wander and suffer.

I'm afraid even Xiaopei City, its only territory, won't be able to hold onto.

"Brother, what are you afraid of?"

"Then Lü Bu has to go this time too; hasn't he already sent a large army?"

"How about this, I'll stay in the city and guard it."

"You and your second brother go!"

"If Lü Bu dares to send troops to cause trouble, I won't stand for it!"

Zhang Fei gripped his spear tightly in anger.

I wish I could go and stab Lu Bu a few times right now.

"well……"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei didn't say anything more, but simply sighed softly.

Zhang Fei immediately panicked:

"Brother, don't you still believe me?"

"I believe you! Third brother, you are brave and I feel at ease leaving you here."

"But there are still garrison troops in Lu Bu's city."

"If I leave you here, and Chen Gong uses any tricks, you might fall into their trap!"

Liu Bei said with a hint of disappointment and frustration.

He trusted Guan Yu; if Guan Yu were left here, he would surely be able to defend the city.

But this time, Guan Yu had to be brought along, otherwise Zhang Fei alone really couldn't hold up the position of the main general.

"Brother, don't worry!"

"I'll just stay in the city and do absolutely nothing!"

"Whether it's Chen Gong or Lü Bu, as long as I don't engage in battle, they can't do anything!"

Zhang Fei immediately patted his chest and assured him.

"Fine!"

After much deliberation, Liu Bei said helplessly:

"Although I'm keeping you here, we need to agree on three rules."

"First and foremost, you can't drink alcohol!"

Zhang Fei said nonchalantly:

"Don't worry!"

"Brother, I absolutely won't drink it!"

Liu Bei knew that this was a great opportunity to attack Yuan Shu.

No matter how many battle achievements one has.

As long as you go, you can gain a good reputation.

This will make it easier for them to establish themselves in the world in the future.

Seeing Zhang Fei's assurance, Liu Bei could only feel relieved.

With 80% of his troops, he left Xiaopei and went to join the vanguard.

Little did they know, another part of Cao Cao's army was already preparing to march towards Xuzhou!

……

At this time, in Yanzhou.

Cao Cao prepared to bring Su Chen, Guo Jia, and Cheng Yu with him this time.

There were also generals such as Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan.

As for Xun Yu and the others, they stayed behind in the city to guard the rear.

"Jingming, you must wear your armor properly this time."

"Let Gongming protect you."

"Although victory in this attack on Xuzhou is assured, we must still proceed with caution!"

Before his departure, Cao Cao repeatedly gave him instructions.

Cao Cao has already begun to become dependent on Su Chen, this precious treasure.

Such a useful all-rounder must not make any mistakes!

"Don't worry, Sikong."

"I value my life."

Su Chen shrugged and spoke.

"..."

Cao Cao looked at Su Chen with a suspicious expression.

Just recently, Su Chen said that if things really got too bad, he would commit suicide.

Maybe if you die, you'll go back.

Cherishing life?

If he really is a time traveler, then Su Chen wouldn't hesitate to risk his life!

"Sir, sir!"

Just then, Xu Huang's voice came from not far away.

"Gongming, why are you so late?"

Su Chen frowned slightly and spoke.

The army is now stationed here, preparing to advance.

As it turned out, Xu Huang, who is usually the most punctual, was actually late today!

Isn't this just embarrassing?

Xu Huang shook his head, panting, and said:

"Sir, wait a minute!"

"Someone's here looking for you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a carriage approached from behind him.

The carriage stopped here, and two graceful women slowly alighted.

This immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The army is preparing to advance.

Who would dare to be so bold as to leave the city at this time?

And he was right behind Xu Huang?

However, when they saw who it was, they immediately shrank back.

All previous thoughts were swept away.

It was none other than strangers who came.

It was Qinghe and Cai Yan!

The appearance of Qinghe surprised Cao Cao and Cao Ang.

Su Chen was also completely confused.

What is Qinghe doing here at this time?

"Cough cough."

Cao Cao coughed lightly and slowly spurred his horse forward.

After dismounting, I looked towards Qinghe Road:

"Qinghe, oh Qinghe!"

"How could you do such a reckless thing?"

"I have told you this many times before."

Don't worry about my safety.

"There will be no danger to your life in this battle."

Clearly, Cao Cao thought his daughter had come to see him off.

After all, there was the battle in Wancheng back then.

Cao Cao clearly lost his life.

Although he looked serious, Cao Cao felt a warm glow inside.

The father and daughter showed their deep affection in front of the army.

Moreover, judging from what Qinghe is holding, it is a talisman he obtained two days ago!

I was incredibly proud.

However, Qinghe looked troubled.

It seems like they want to say something.

"Alright, let's go back!"

"Danger outside the city!"

"When I return in triumph, I will choose a date to arrange your marriage with Jingming."

Cao Cao said with a smile.

"that……"

Qinghe gave a wry smile and said:

"Father, your son... did not come to see you."
