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

Meanwhile, in the direction of Xuzhou.

"Commander, a battle report has arrived from the front."

"General Su, the clerk, and General Cao, along with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, have already joined up with Liu Bei!"

Cheng Yu slowly read the battle report in his hand.

Cao Cao's face froze for a moment:

"How is the situation?"

Cheng Yu looked at the report:

"It is said that Chief Clerk Su has already made talks with Liu Bei."

"Now we are just waiting for reinforcements from the rear, and for General Cao Ren's army to join us."

Upon hearing this news, Cao Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had many dealings with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was like an eel, impossible to catch.

Moreover, even Cao Cao couldn't fathom the depth of Liu Bei's thoughts.

He was just afraid that Su Chen and his group would suffer a setback in this allied effort.

However, it now seems that he was worrying too much.

"How long until Cao Ren's army arrives?"

Cao Cao rubbed his temples and asked.

"About... three more days."

"By the way, Chief Clerk Su discussed this with Liu Bei."

"The plan is to eliminate Lü Bu first, and then deal with Yuan Shu with all our might."

Cheng Yu continued:

"However, there is one thing I don't understand."

"Since Lü Bu has already surrendered to Yuan Shu..."

"How could we possibly bypass Yuan Shu to kill Lü Bu?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao immediately laughed heartily:

"Zhongde, Zhongde, do you know why you're still a military officer?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu was stunned.

Cheng Yu was not in a civilian position in the military, but rather a military position.

Despite his age, he is quite skilled.

If he were to go to the battlefield, he would be at least a second-rate military commander.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu was stunned.

I don't quite understand.

Cao Cao turned to look at Jia Xu and said calmly:

"Wenhe, tell me what you think."

Seeing this, Jia Xu had no choice but to speak:

"Although Yuan Shu knew how to use Lü Bu, but..."

"He witnessed the fates of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo firsthand."

"Yuan Shu certainly wouldn't regard him as a subordinate general."

"I will definitely have Lü Bu lead the army to defend the front."

Even if Lü Bu were to suffer, Yuan Shu would at most send reinforcements, not launch a full-scale rescue.

"That's beyond doubt."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu suddenly realized what was going on.

He couldn't help but sigh helplessly:

"Although Chief Clerk Su is young, his mind is far too deep."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said:

"Zhongde, you should first send a scout to inform Xiahou Dun by fast horse."

"Order him to lead reinforcements to Jingming as soon as possible."

"Once the two armies converge, our forces can unleash their full power to annihilate Yuan Shu!"

Initially, Cao Cao didn't really think he was confident he could defeat Yuan Shu.

After all, Cao Cao had too many concerns.

The most important one was Yuan Shao in the north.

If he leads his army to attack Yuan Shu.

As a result, Yuan Shao unexpectedly sent troops to take advantage of the situation.

Cao Cao was truly having a major headache.

But now that Su Chen is fighting on the front lines, he can stay in the rear with peace of mind.

With him around, he can focus his energy on guarding against Yuan Shao.

"well……"

"I hope Ang'er can learn something from Jingming this time."

"Otherwise, how will we gain power and command troops in the future?"

Cao Cao murmured to himself, feeling quite helpless.

……

Meanwhile, in Shouchun.

Inside the palace of Emperor Yuan Shu of the Zhong family.

Palace maids danced, while Yuan Shu sat on his throne with a broad smile.

Although this palace was a temporary structure, it was far inferior to Chang'an and Luoyang.

But Yuan Shu was already quite satisfied.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Just then, an elderly scholar with white hair and beard frowned and spoke.

"Grand Preceptor Yang, please speak freely."

Yuan Shu, however, spoke nonchalantly.

This old man was Yang Hong.

He was also Yuan Shu's most trusted strategist.

Seeing that Yang Hong's expression was rather unpleasant.

Yuan Shu then waved his hand, signaling the palace maids to leave.

Yang Hong then spoke:

"Your Majesty, now is not the time for revelry."

"Sun Ce is holding Guangling and keeps attacking our other cities."

"It's already become quite a force to be reckoned with!"

"We can no longer stand idly by, Your Majesty!"

Yang Hong's tone was full of helplessness.

Ever since Yuan Shu declared himself emperor, he has been indulging in pleasure every day.

This has been the case for a long time.

But now it has become even more outrageous.

He even stopped listening to his advisors.

Yuan Shu immediately frowned:

"It's just a small place called Jiangdong, what's there to fear?"

"It's only a matter of time before we capture Guangling."

"Hasn't General Ji Ling already led his troops there?"

"Why worry?"

Yang Hong said in a deep voice:

"If it were only Jiangdong, it would be fine."

"However, Liu Bei has now allied with Cao Cao's army."

"Cao Ren's army and Xiahou Dun's army gathered together."

"They are putting pressure on us from the north, and our soldiers are willing but unable to do anything about it!"

"Your Majesty, it would be best to devise a strategy as soon as possible!"

"Cao Cao?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu couldn't help but sneer:

"It's just a mere alliance between Cao Cao and Liu Bei, what's there to fear?"

"If one is a rabble, does that mean two aren't?"

"That Cao commander has more troops under his command."

"So what?"

"He dares to attack me."

"How could Yuan Shao just stand by and watch?"

"Cao Cao couldn't exert his full strength, and Liu Bei alone was no match for him!"

Looking at Yuan Shu, who looked down on everyone and didn't care about anyone.

Yang Hong could only sigh softly and strode away.

He had disagreed with the idea of ​​becoming emperor long before.

Now look what's happened; it's directly attracted so much hatred.

Originally, the feudal lords of the world were engaged in open and covert struggles.

Yangzhou's terrain is not particularly advantageous, and it is not a place of constant warfare.

In addition, Yuan Shu had a force of over 100,000 troops.

In reality, no warlord would have any designs on Yangzhou.

That is exactly the case.

This led Yuan Shu to mistakenly believe that he was too strong.

So much so that other feudal lords were simply no match for him.

He then chose to usurp the throne and become emperor.

But there is no dragon energy in Shouchun.

The entire Zhong family was in a precarious position.

Yang Hong had offered advice many times, but to no avail.

It's fine now.

One feudal lord cannot defeat him.

What if two, three, or even four or five, or even all the feudal lords in the world, attacked together?

Even if Yuan Shu were to send another hundred thousand troops, he would still be unable to match the combined forces of these warlords!

They still act so nonchalantly.

Yang Hong already had a bad feeling.

"That's enough, that's enough."

"It's fate! It's destiny!"

Left with no other choice, Yang Hong turned and left.

He was well-versed in the I Ching.

This incident has already foreshadowed the future fate of the Zhong family.

If Yuan Shu cannot find a priority target to break through at this time.

To eliminate one side and thus gain prestige.

Then they can only be slowly devoured, becoming fish meat to be slaughtered at will.

However, Yuan Shu did not take Yang Hong's considerations seriously at all.

After Yang Hong left, Yuan Shu summoned the palace maids again, beaming with joy.

"Play music and dance to your heart's content!"

"My Yangzhou, my empire, are perfectly secure!"

"The Han Dynasty has come to an end!"

"I am the emperor!"
