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

"Sir, General Xu has arrived."

Cao Ang introduced the idea with a hint of annoyance.

Behind him stood a burly, muscular man.

Although he wasn't as outrageously muscular as Dian Wei.

But at first glance, he appears to be a shrewd and capable killer.

Cao Ang was unaware of Cao Cao's questioning.

Therefore, Xu Huang was naturally not taken seriously.

In his eyes, Xu Huang was nothing more than an ordinary surrendered general.

He wasn't even a general; at most, he was a centurion.

He didn't understand why Su Chen thought so highly of this person.

Such ruthless killers are easy to find in any camp.

Su Chen insisted that Su Chen come along before he would agree to go to Wancheng.

Su Chen, however, remained indifferent to Cao Chun's presence.

This made Cao Ang feel very indignant on behalf of Cao Chun.

"General Gongming! I've long admired you!"

Su Chen completely ignored Cao Ang's reaction and greeted him warmly.

This attitude truly surprised Xu Huang:

"Registrar...do you know me?"

No matter what he thought, this was supposed to be the first time he had met Su Chen.

Little did he know why Su Chen was so enthusiastic towards him.

"unimportant."

Su Chen said with a smile:

I have long heard of General Xu's talent.

"The vanguard heading to Wancheng this time will all depend on General Xu's command."

Xu Huang was immediately flattered and said:

"Rest assured, sir. Rest assured, young master."

"This humble general will do everything in his power to protect your safety!"

He was somewhat confused.

But Xu Huang wasn't stupid.

Even before he entered the commander's tent, he had heard that Su Chen had recommended him to Cao Cao.

Although Su Chen was only a clerk and had no real power.

However, he was assigned to go to Wancheng as a vanguard along with the eldest son, Cao Ang.

He must have been highly valued by Sikong!

Xu Huang would certainly not be careless towards Su Chen, who appreciated him.

The two chatted happily, which made Cao Chun, who was standing to the side, feel quite depressed:

"Zixiu, what does the registrar mean by this?"

"Isn't this vanguard under your command, and I'm just your deputy?"

"Why does the registrar seem to be saying it's changed to... Xu Huang?"

How did he know Xu Huang?

All that is known is that this person was sent here suddenly.

Cao Ang sighed helplessly and said in a deep voice:

"Zihe, say no more."

"Since Father has made this arrangement, we, as generals, will simply obey orders."

"You must not act rashly and disobey General Xu's orders."

Cao Chun was speechless for a moment.

No matter how you look at it, Cao Ang seems to be more dissatisfied with Xu Huang, right?

Although he was seething with anger, he could only swallow it down when he saw that Cao Ang was helpless.

Cao Ang also felt aggrieved.

Although he had followed Cao Cao in battle for many years, he was still young and served as a deputy general, learning from generals such as Xiahou Dun.

There was simply no opportunity for them to stand alone and lead the charge on the battlefield.

The current situation with the vanguard army in Wancheng is definitely an opportunity, as it marks Cao Ang's first independent appointment as a vanguard general.

Although he was only leading five hundred men, that was still quite impressive for Cao Ang.

However, just a few words from Su Chen and Xu Huang suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

Xu Huang was even appointed as the general of the vanguard army!

How could Cao Ang be happy about this?

"Sir, let's not waste time and stop talking nonsense."

Cao Ang looked at Su Chen with a cold face and said:

"This trip to Wancheng is urgent."

"That Zhang Xiu is no ordinary person either, so please don't underestimate him, sir."

After saying that, Cao Ang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He wanted to see how Su Chen planned to arrange things.

The task of the vanguard was handed over, but Cao Cao only said that he would follow Su Chen's arrangements.

He couldn't believe that Su Chen, who looked so weak and frail, would know how to lead troops into battle.

"Brother-in-law, rest assured, I have my own decision on this matter."

Su Chen chuckled, looking completely unconcerned.

Brother-in-law?!

Upon hearing this title, Cao Ang's eyes widened immediately:

"Sir, I advise you to be careful with your words and actions!"

This is still far from settled, and Su Chen is already calling him his brother-in-law?!

It seems this lecherous fellow is determined to take advantage of Qinghe!

This is absolutely shameless!

However, Su Chen had no intention of arguing with Cao Ang, and instead turned to Xu Huang and said:

"General Xu, are you familiar with the terrain of Wancheng?"

Xu Huang immediately laughed:

"Rest assured, sir, I have fought several battles in the vicinity."

"Although I'm not from Wancheng, I have a fairly good understanding of the terrain there."

As he spoke, Xu Huang pointed to the map in his hand and said:

"After receiving the order, I have already devised the most suitable route of advance."

"Our army has only five hundred men, but we can go straight along this road to the vicinity of Wancheng."

"There are many mountain roads around here, so if Zhang Xiu's surrender is feigned..."

"Our army also has many routes for withdrawal."

Cao Ang, standing to the side, was displeased.

But after seeing Xu Huang's arrangements, he was somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect that Xu Huang, who looked big and burly, was actually very meticulous in military strategy!

At first glance, this route doesn't seem particularly unusual.

With Xu Huang's deployment, if Zhang Xiu wanted to withdraw his troops, it would be very difficult for him to pursue a mere five hundred men!

Moreover, the area is not far from the garrisons of generals such as Xiahou Dun, so providing support would be a natural outcome.

This brief encounter with Xu Huang immediately made Cao Ang look at him in a different light.

"Alright, then I'll leave it all to General Xu."

"Young master, shall we set off?"

As Su Chen was speaking, the armored soldier beside him cupped his hands and said:

"The carriage is ready. Please, sir and young master, board the carriage."

Upon hearing this, Cao Ang sneered disdainfully:

"What a joke! As the vanguard, how can an army march in a carriage?"

"Isn't this wasting time?"

"Zihe, mount your horse!"

Having said that, Cao Ang leaped gracefully and mounted his horse.

Then, he looked at Su Chen with disdain.

How could Su Chen, with his small frame, possibly ride a horse?

Not only Su Chen, but in Cao Ang's memory, there were very few civil officials who could ride horses.

In his eyes, only women wouldn't know how to ride a horse.

However, because Su Chen was highly regarded by his father, he did not say it aloud.

Instead, he sneered and said:

"Sir, you'd better get on the carriage quickly."

"Horse riding is too rough for you."

After saying that, he and Cao Chun burst into laughter.

Finally, we'll see Su Chen get his comeuppance!

However, Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly:

"Oh? As the young master has already said, as the vanguard this time, how can you ride in a carriage?"

"I cannot afford to delay the march."

Upon hearing this, Xu Huang, who was standing to the side, was slightly taken aback:

"Sir... do you perhaps know how to ride a horse?"

Although horseback riding is a common skill in the military, it is definitely not something everyone can do.

You can tell whether a person is used to riding a horse just by looking at their physique.

Even Xu Huang couldn't tell that Su Chen was someone who rode horses all the time.

Su Chen looked at Xu Huang with a serious expression and said calmly:

"Won't."
