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

Late at night in a small town.

The two armies were stationed at the east and west gates of the city, respectively.

They set up camp there.

At this moment, in Su Chen's camp.

"Sir, I really don't understand."

Why tell Liu Bei these things?

"If Liu Bei really agrees, we can't just return Xuzhou to him, can we?"

Cao Ang couldn't hold back any longer and asked.

At this moment, Cao Chun, who was standing to the side, also nodded and said:

"Yes, sir."

"Is this truly what Sikong said?"

"Isn't that a bit too risky?"

Neither of them understood why Su Chen would do such a thing.

There's absolutely no reason for it!

If it weren't for the fact that I've known Su Chen for some time now...

It can be confirmed that Su Chen is indeed wholeheartedly devoted to Cao.

Otherwise, they would have thought Su Chen was Liu Bei's spy.

This is speaking up for Liu Bei.

"Brother-in-law, not to be mean, but..."

Are you really stupid or just pretending?

"It's one thing for you to be stupid, but why are you doing something stupid too?"

After a moment of silence, Su Chen couldn't help but speak.

Upon hearing this, the two were immediately stunned.

Cao Ang, in particular, couldn't help but scratch his head.

傻？

What's so stupid about it?

This scene was witnessed by Cao Xing and Zhang Liao.

Goodness...

What exactly is Su Chen's position in Cao Cao's camp?

Are these two people in front of me someone you can just insult casually?

One of them was Cao Cao's eldest son!

There's another one, but he's a general from the Cao clan, and the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!

Which of these two people is someone an outsider could afford to offend?

However, Su Chen actually did it.

Not only did they do this, but they both looked puzzled, not angry.

"Sir, where did we go wrong?"

"Tonight, haven't you been speaking up for Liu Bei at every turn?"

Cao Ang frowned slightly, still somewhat unconvinced.

"Okay, brother-in-law, you're right."

"When you return to the camp, tell Sikong the same thing."

"Guess what Sikong will say?"

Su Chen, however, looked completely unconcerned and waved his hand dismissively.

This immediately stunned Cao Ang.

Go back and tell your father, and see his reaction?

This one sentence completely undermined Cao Ang's confidence.

Su Chen has already said that.

If I were to dare to say that to my father again, I would be too reckless.

That would likely result in a severe scolding.

only……

Why? What's the reason?

"Sir, why? I really don't understand."

Cao Ang was immediately puzzled, truly not understanding at all.

"I say this because it doesn't really matter whether Liu Bei agrees or not."

"Now that he doesn't agree, I feel bad about it."

Su Chen said with some regret.

Everyone still looked confused.

Su Chen was speechless.

If Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You, and others were here, that would be wonderful.

At least they can understand it.

"Even if Liu Bei agrees, will Xuzhou really be returned to him?"

"The things that Sikong has done in Xuzhou during this period have won over the hearts of both the gentry and the common people of Xuzhou."

"By doing this, Liu Bei will only lose the support of the people."

"He lost the city, and then someone else took it back and returned it to him?"

"And yet, he treated the people worse than others did."

"It goes without saying what the people will think."

As Su Chen spoke, he took a sip of water and continued:

"In that case, even if he really returns to Xuzhou..."

"Soon, they will be driven out by the anger of the people."

"Liu Bei was indeed somewhat kind-hearted, but his strength was simply insufficient to support him in providing benefits to the people."

"That's enough."

Upon hearing Su Chen's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.

"I see……"

"So, Liu Bei was a smart man."

"He knew he could never take back Xuzhou, so he chose to refuse outright."

Cao Ang nodded thoughtfully.

Xu Huang, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up:

"Moreover, now that I think about it, you have been praising Liu Bei all along."

"To put him in a difficult position."

"It's always about being an imperial uncle, or about serving the Han dynasty and all that."

Su Chen smiled slightly:

"Gongming, this young man is teachable."

Cao Ang frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask again:

"Then why should it be better if he agreed?"

Su Chen chuckled:

"If he agrees, then we have a pretext to kill him."

"They are only thinking about taking back the city."

"They even disregarded traitors."

Even if the people of Xuzhou accept him.

"By doing this, he will inevitably ruin all the good reputation he has built up."

"His soldiers followed him because of his benevolence and loyalty to the Han Dynasty."

"Even if this face is a mask, he can never take it off."

"To cause Liu Bei to lose his reputation and goodwill is worse than to kill him."

Su Chen's words sent a chill down everyone's spine!

Unexpectedly, Su Chen had thought of so much!

He practically manipulated Liu Bei at will!

Even Cao Cao himself found it difficult to ascertain Liu Bei's true nature.

When you can be patient and patient, that's truly remarkable.

Now he's actually been tricked by Su Chen and almost revealed his true colors.

However, he is indeed an old fox.

"It would be a good thing if we could get rid of this person as soon as possible."

"Even if we lose the entire city of Xuzhou, it's worth it."

Su Chen shook his head with a sense of regret.

Although Liu Bei would most likely not agree.

But if he agrees, it will actually make things simpler.

Without Liu Bei, few people in the Three Kingdoms period could form a tripartite balance of power with Cao Cao.

"Why are you so concerned about Liu Bei, sir?"

"Like my father, I care about it immensely."

Cao Ang shook his head, puzzled.

"In my opinion, Liu Bei was nothing more than a down-on-his-luck man."

"For so many years, all I've done is flee and flee."

"Is there anything about this person that we need to pay attention to?"

Su Chen slowly closed his eyes and fell silent.

He couldn't explain, and he didn't want to explain.

What will Liu Bei become in the future?

How did he gradually rise from a humble mat weaver and shoe seller to become Emperor Zhaolie?

Even if we told them, they would never believe us.

"We'll find out later."

Su Chen smiled slightly, leaving the question unanswered.

Before Cao Ang could ask any further questions, he spoke up:

"Zhang Liao, Cao Xing!"

Upon hearing this, the two immediately stepped forward:

"teacher!"

Su Chen said solemnly:

"You two are quite familiar with this place."

"Take a few men and hold this position."

"Defend? Defend whom...?"

The two were completely stunned.

"Zhang Fei".

Su Chen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"Here you go!"

Although the two were completely confused, they still agreed.

"Our troops can set off early tomorrow morning to join the main force."

"This time, we must defeat Yuan Shu!"

Cao Ang realized that he felt he had no sense of participation.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"etc."

"Brother-in-law, who said we're going to attack Yangzhou tomorrow?"

Su Chen asked with a puzzled look.

"What?! Not attacking Yangzhou?!"
