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

Chapter 94 The Strategy Lies in Winning Hearts and Minds

"Kill you?"

"If you wanted to die, you would have died here with Chen Gong and the others long ago."

"Why should I kill you?"

Su Chen's tone was eerily calm.

Xiahou Dun, who was standing to the side, was slightly taken aback.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly.

He wanted to see what Su Chen was up to.

Cao Xing's expression froze for a moment, then he sneered:

"Killing one is a bonus, but if we can kill this traitorous general..."

"That was also clearing obstacles for the General before he died!"

Cao Xing's words were unwavering.

It seems they had long been prepared to die.

"If you are so brave and fearless, then why are you with Lü Bu?"

"Just some nameless lieutenant general?"

"So what?"

"The General has treated me well."

"Besides, I am not a person driven by self-interest."

Cao Xing seems unmoved.

"Has he treated you well?"

Su Chen slowly spoke:

"How ridiculous!"

"Your archery and horsemanship skills are superb, and you were highly valued by Hao Meng."

However, Lü Bu believed that his martial arts skills were unmatched.

"They don't even consider you a threat!"

"With Lü Bu, you'll always only ever be a lieutenant general!"

At this point, Su Chen paused for a moment, then continued:

"As for whether you are a pragmatic person, I will not comment."

"But just now, when you made that desperate attack..."

My first reaction was to call out your name.

"It's simply so that future generations will remember that Cao Xing was the one killed by Xiahou Dun, the great general of Cao's army!"

"You, Cao Xing, are no nobody!"

"Wouldn't this be considered utilitarian?"

This sentence caused Cao Xing's pupils to shrink instantly.

He initially looked down on the young man in front of him.

Even if Su Chen saw his target, it was all just a delusion.

But right now, he felt a bit of fear towards the young man in front of him!

This man, who looked to be no more than twenty years old, actually instilled fear in him!

It was as if he could see right through my thoughts!

Indeed, Cao Xing considered himself to be of average martial arts skills, but few in the world could rival his archery and horsemanship.

However, he was not given any important positions under Lü Bu.

Therefore, on his deathbed, he truly wanted his name to be known throughout the world.

Even in death, one can leave behind a name.

That's not surprising.

After all, it wasn't just Cao Xing who was like this.

Everyone in this era is like this.

In chaotic times, survival is not the most important thing.

The important thing is to make one's name known throughout the world and passed down to future generations.

As long as we kill a general like Xiahou Dun.

His name, Cao Xing, is famous throughout the world and widely known!

"What exactly do you want?"

Cao Xing's eyes widened, hoping Su Chen would give him a quick and painless end.

The feeling of having your veil torn off in front of everyone is extremely unpleasant.

It's a million times more painful than simply killing him.

What Lü Bu can't give you, I can give you.

"If you are willing to surrender, your name, Cao Xing, will be known throughout the world."

Su Chen stopped wasting words and calmly uttered these words.

Cao Xing's character was already evident from what I just saw.

Although it may seem somewhat utilitarian, it is a characteristic of people in this era.

Su Chen had witnessed his courage, fearlessness, and loyalty.

Such a talent for leadership is extremely rare.

Even though he was just a fleeting figure in history.

But Su Chen was also willing to invest.

They all knew the basics of archery and horsemanship, but few could achieve such mastery.

In such a short time, they were able to calmly find a suitable position and accurately identify their target.

Even after saying so much, he almost killed Xiahou Dun.

This alone has proven his ability.

"..."

Cao Xing's expression changed as he looked at Su Chen in front of him:

"Who...are you?"

He had seen Su Chen stay with Cao Cao the whole time.

From Cao Cao's eyes, one could tell that he valued the young man beside him very much.

Could this person be one of Cao Cao's children?

Could it be Cao Ang?

The age seems to match.

If that's the case, then what Su Chen said really wasn't just empty talk!

"You don't even know your name, sir?"

"It was you, sir, who thwarted your strategist's plan and annihilated the elite troops."

"Su Chen, Su Jingming!"

Xu Huang sneered and spoke.

The strategist's plan has been foiled?!

At this point, Cao Xing could no longer hold back.

He had guessed at several possible identities of Su Chen.

But no one expected that he would be the one who foiled the strategist's plan!

He easily defeated even the elite Trapped Army?!

He was not unfamiliar with the name Su Chen.

Cao Xing served in Lü Bu's army, where he was in charge of scouts.

To put it bluntly, it's from the intelligence department.

He had heard about what Su Chen had done in Wancheng.

It's actually... this young man in front of me?

"What you just said, is it true?"

Cao Xing took a deep breath and gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Naturally true."

"Lu Bu was ultimately brave but lacked strategy."

"He is narrow-minded and arrogant, yet you are so loyal to him."

"That is blind loyalty."

"You saw what happened to Sikong's army just now."

"Only one person can possibly bring peace to this world."

"That is Sikong."

Su Chen spoke calmly.

These words made Cao Cao's heart skip a beat.

I was inexplicably praised like that, and for some reason, I felt pretty good about it.

However, neither Cao Cao nor anyone else around him could understand it.

Why would Su Chen waste time and effort on this nameless lieutenant?

Everyone knows that Su Chen has a sharp eye for talent.

Xu Huang and Yu Jin, weren't they both born military geniuses?!

Whether it's his appearance, his demeanor, or his abilities.

This person is completely incomparable to Xu Huang, Yu Jin, and others!

"But just how good are your horsemanship and archery skills?"

"If you want to make a name for yourself and establish yourself in the world, if you want your name to be known throughout the land."

"If you want to become a world-renowned general..."

"Then, it all depends on your ability."

Su Chen glanced at Cao Xing.

A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

Cao Xing immediately picked up on that hint of disdain.

"Archery?"

"snort……"

Cao Xing gave a cold laugh:

"Marquis Wen was capable of shooting an arrow through a halberd at the gate."

"This matter is a piece of cake for me."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

He said all this because he wanted to see what Cao Xing's true strength was.

If I made the wrong bet, or misjudged the situation.

It's better not to keep this person.

If it truly is gold that I have found amidst the sifting and washing of the sand.

That's something we should definitely pay close attention to.

"You can shoot the halberd at the gate? You can do that too?"

At this point, Cao Cao could no longer hold back.

He asked in a deep voice.

The story of Lü Bu shooting the halberd at the gate of the camp is unparalleled in the world, and this event is almost a household name!

However, this subordinate general in front of me actually said it was as easy as turning my hand?

Such difficulty is practically the pinnacle of archery!

Can he really do it?!

Cao Xing squinted his eyes:

"What can't be done?"
