Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao is stunned when he reveals his time-traveling identity.
Chapter 113 Liu Bei's Suspicion
Meanwhile, on the other side of the city.
In Liu Bei's camp.
"Big brother, just who is this Su Chen?"
"He's so young, yet he seems like an important figure in Cao Cao's camp?"
While they were eating, Zhang Fei couldn't help but ask, puzzled.
"It's not like it."
"That's him."
Jian Yong added:
"The person standing behind him just now was Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang."
Cao Ang held him in high esteem, addressing him as "Sir".
"By the way... Su Chen also calls Cao Ang his brother-in-law."
Zhang Fei was immediately taken aback:
"What? Could it be because he's Cao Cao's son-in-law?"
Liu Bei sighed softly and said:
Absolutely not.
"If this man didn't possess extraordinary talent, why would Cao Cao treat him this way?"
"The fact that Cao Ang respected him shows that Cao Cao also respected him."
"Could this person... be the one who saw through Chen Gong's plan?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Clearly, they all had this suspicion.
Sun Qian coughed lightly and said:
"Probably not."
"After all, this person is so young."
"He's only just turned twenty."
"We both know Chen Gong's talent; how could he possess such shrewdness and foresight?"
It's not that Sun Qian looks down on Su Chen.
Not to mention young people, even strategists like Chen Gong.
They all found it difficult to break his scheme.
The fact that Lü Bu has not been defeated for so many years is largely due to Chen Gong's efforts.
Let's put these aside for now.
Liu Bei waved his hand and said:
"Whether or not this person was the one who thwarted Chen Gong's plan."
"None of them should be underestimated."
"Zhang Liao and Cao Xing were both generals under Lü Bu!"
"And they're all eight-man champions!"
"The fact that he was able to persuade these two to surrender shows that he is no ordinary person."
At this point, Liu Bei was filled with many thoughts.
This time, a formidable opponent has arrived.
Liu Bei sighed softly and continued:
"Before this, I had met all of Cao Cao's strategists."
"This even includes deceased figures like Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia."
"Su Chen is completely different from these strategists."
"It was only our first meeting, but I had the feeling that everything about me had been seen through."
"However, I just can't see through this person no matter what I do."
"This person's cunning and scheming are terrifyingly profound!"
Liu Bei's words immediately made Zhang Fei and the others restless.
Zhang Fei immediately said urgently:
"No, brother..."
"Aren't you overthinking this?"
"He's just a child, how could he have such a deep mind?"
"If you ask me, this kid might not be that amazing."
"Anyway, our army and Cao Cao's army are now in an allied relationship."
"Won't we see the outcome when we deal with Yuan Shu?"
Zhang Fei spoke in a very straightforward and blunt manner.
But his words surprised everyone.
Guan Yu, who had been silent for a long time, stroked his beard and said in a deep voice:
"Third brother is right!"
"We'll see the outcome when we attack Yuan Shu!"
At present, everyone under Liu Bei's command is particularly wary of Su Chen.
They are very clear.
Now he's on the same side as Su Chen.
It was simply because they needed to deal with Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu was destined to perish.
After that, Su Chen became their enemy!
And it could very well be a powerful enemy!
If you don't know yourself and your enemy, how do you deal with them?
However, their understanding of Su Chen was limited.
There are basically only a few.
Name, gender, age, and he was Cao Cao's son-in-law.
Besides that, I know nothing.
They didn't even know much about his background.
Moreover, Su Chen had obviously joined Cao Cao's camp not long ago.
Otherwise, Liu Bei would have recognized him.
……
And so, the night passed.
Dawn broke quickly.
"General Cao, when shall we depart to attack the traitor Yuan Shu?"
Early in the morning, Liu Bei led Zhang Fei and others to Cao Cao's camp.
However, he was only greeted by Cao Chun and others.
There was no sign of Su Chen at all.
Knowing it was inappropriate to ask about Su Chen's whereabouts, he went straight to the point.
"This matter will have to wait a little longer."
Cao Chun spoke up:
"As you know, our army is on its way."
"We are merely the vanguard."
"Yuan Shu commands an army of over 100,000; how could our small force possibly be able to encircle and annihilate them?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bei merely gave a dry laugh.
At this moment, Zhang Fei said with dissatisfaction:
"That sounds nice, but I think it's just cowardice!"
"Your men are all cavalry!"
Even if we don't engage in a direct confrontation, harassing Yuan Shu's army would be beneficial.
"It's better than just sitting here waiting, isn't it?"
Cao Chun scoffed:
"General Zhang, if you wish to go, then go ahead."
"We will naturally be your strongest support."
This sentence almost made Zhang Fei choke.
This made Cao Chun secretly pleased.
He was used to being cornered by Su Chen.
Now, judging from Su Chen's way of speaking, he's being sarcastic and sarcastic.
Sure enough, no one could stand it.
I finally understand the joy Su Chen feels when he teases me.
"General Cao does indeed need to wait for reinforcements."
"But we really can't just sit here and wait idly."
Seeing Zhang Fei's face turn red from holding back his anger, Liu Bei waved his hand and said:
"Messages have arrived from the front."
"Sun Ce is leading the Jiangdong army and has been fighting against Yuan Shu for a long time."
"Yuan Shu has far too many troops."
"If we wait any longer, I fear Jiangdong will suffer repeated defeats."
"This is also extremely disadvantageous for us."
"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; I hope General Cao understands."
Upon hearing this, Cao Chun was momentarily speechless.
He didn't expect Liu Bei to bring up Sun Ce.
It originally had nothing to do with them.
However, Sun Ce's attack on Yuan Shu was initiated by an imperial edict issued by Cao Cao.
If Sun Ce is defeated.
That would only severely damage Cao Cao's reputation.
Moreover, Cao Chun didn't understand either.
Why is Su Chen hesitating to make a move?
He couldn't wait to lead his army directly to attack Yuan Shu.
After quickly defeating Yuan Shu, we can then seize Yangzhou.
Now look what's going on, what are we waiting here for?
"Well... I'm afraid we'll have to wait for my master to arrive before we can inform the Imperial Uncle."
Cao Chun really had no other choice.
Let's just let it go.
If we can't figure it out, then we'll have to let Su Chen explain it.
"Your husband?"
"Are you referring to Chief Clerk Su Chen?"
Liu Bei was taken aback.
"Exactly."
Cao Chun's answer further confirmed Liu Bei's suspicions.
If it's just Cao Ang calling Su Chen "Mr."
It's possible that Su Chen was teaching Cao Ang something.
But everyone was calling him Mr. Su Chen.
His status in Cao Cao's army is evident!
"Then...where is Chief Clerk Su right now?"
Liu Bei couldn't help but ask.
This can't go on forever.
"this……"
Cao Chun immediately touched his nose, as if trying to hide something.
And yet, there's a feeling that's hard to put into words.
At this moment, Cao Ang, who was standing to the side, said in an annoyed tone:
"It's nothing, I'm just sleeping, I haven't woken up yet."
