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

Yuan Shu, enjoying his revelry, was unaware of this.

The danger was slowly approaching him.

However, he is not the current target.

It was Lü Bu.

At this time, they were on their way to attack Lü Bu.

The city closest to this small town must be where Lü Bu is hiding.

"Big brother, I have a feeling that this kid named Su Chen..."

"They may not genuinely want to cooperate with our army."

"He said he was going to attack Lü Bu, could it just be an excuse?"

"Then let our army serve as the vanguard to wear down our forces, shall we?"

On the way, Zhang Fei said with a suspicious look.

Liu Bei shook his head:

"Now that we've joined forces, I doubt Su Chen would do something like this."

"If that's the case, how could the world not know?"

Zhang Fei merely pursed his lips, his face full of displeasure.

He was extremely hostile towards Su Chen.

At first glance, one could tell that Su Chen was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Even now, Zhang Fei doesn't trust him at all.

Soon, the army arrived at the edge of Yangzhou.

"Uncle Liu, please stop here."

Su Chen, who was not far away, raised his hand in a gesture.

"Well, it's getting late, we should rest first."

Liu Bei nodded and was about to order the camp to be set up.

"Wait a minute."

"Uncle, we will set up camp within the visible area of ​​the city."

"We need to spread the word and tell them that we're here."

Just then, Su Chen rode up unhurriedly and spoke.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei was immediately taken aback:

Why?

"If that's the case, wouldn't they have made preparations much earlier?"

However, before Su Chen could speak...

Jian Yong, who was not far away, responded:

"I think I understand what Chief Clerk Su means."

"Does Chief Clerk Su mean to make Lü Bu nervous?"

"Lu Bu only had a little over ten thousand soldiers."

"Yuan Shu may not provide him with reinforcements, but only give him a place to settle down temporarily and act as his vanguard."

"But is that so?"

Su Chen nodded and said:

"Mr. Jane is indeed very intelligent."

"However, there is another reason."

"Oh?"

Jian Yong was taken aback and looked at Su Chen.

Su Chen continued:

"Our main force has not yet arrived here to join us."

"When our army arrived, it should have already been spotted by Lü Bu's spies."

"If our army tries to cover things up, it will only embolden him."

"Now that things are as they are, we can openly tell them that we have joined up with the reinforcements."

"In this way, we can prevent Lü Bu from leaving the city to launch a surprise attack on our army."

"Our army has only a little over ten thousand soldiers in total."

"If we are ambushed by Lu Bu, we may not win."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yong nodded emphatically.

He never expected that Su Chen's plans were so far-reaching.

Even though he thought he had seen through Su Chen's plan.

Yet such details were overlooked.

"Then...when should we launch our attack?"

Zhang Fei frowned and asked in a deep voice.

He's been itching to get started for a while now.

As long as he sees Lü Bu.

Zhang Fei vowed to twist his head off and use it as a chamber pot.

That bastard attacked Xuzhou and brazenly seized it.

If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll really think Zhang Fei is easy to bully!

"We will not attack; we will simply establish a garrison here."

However, Su Chen's answer left Zhang Fei dumbfounded:

"Not attacking?!"

"What...what do you mean by this?"

"What's the point of just setting up camp here like an idiot?"

"Didn't we come here to wipe out Lü Bu?"

Su Chen shook his head and said:

"Reinforcements have not arrived."

Do you know how many troops are in the enemy city?

"If we launch a full-scale attack now and suffer excessive losses, who will be responsible?"

"Can you take on this responsibility?"

Three questions in a row left Zhang Fei speechless.

"I...this...you..."

Zhang Fei's face immediately turned red, and he couldn't say a word.

"The mere appearance of our troops will have already informed Yuan Shu."

"Our army could launch an attack at any time."

"In that case, he will surely mobilize his troops and turn around."

"At that time, we will use this strategy of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao to relieve the pressure on Guangling."

Su Chen spoke calmly.

However, Jian Yong frowned:

"There is definitely a reason for doing it this way."

"But... if that's the case, why not take advantage of the fact that the enemy has few defenses now?"

"Should we launch a surprise attack?"

Su Chen gently shook his head and looked at Jian Yong, saying:

"If only it were that simple."

"Although Yuan Shu has no great generals under his command."

"But there are troops stationed in various prefectures and counties of Yangzhou."

"Even if our army seizes one of the prefectures and counties with lightning speed."

"Reinforcements will arrive at an extremely fast speed as well."

"What should our army do then?"

"Are the prefectures and counties still going to be defended?"

"It would be better to divert the enemy's attention."

Just then, Sun Qian, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly brightened up:

"I see!"

"Does Chief Clerk Su mean something like...?"

"They want to draw our army's attention here."

"To create the illusion of a large army pressing in."

"Then, should we send Cao Ren's army and reinforcements to attack elsewhere?"

This sentence immediately stunned everyone around.

Su Chen smiled slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"I see!"

"What a brilliant deception!"

Jian Yong exclaimed in surprise.

Su Chen smiled calmly:

"This is called the wolf feigning sleep, used to lure the enemy."

Whether Lü Bu believes it or not is irrelevant.

"The important thing is to make Yuan Shu believe it."

Now, the truth was revealed.

Liu Bei said with no small amount of amazement:

"What a clever tactic! The wolf feigns sleep to lure the enemy!"

"Minister Su is truly a man of divine wisdom and foresight!"

While marveling at this, Liu Bei felt extremely unbalanced.

He originally thought that Jian Yong and Sun Qian were already good strategists.

But compared to Su Chen, they are worlds apart!

Why?

Why would such an excellent strategist serve Cao Cao?

Why didn't Liu Bei have such an outstanding strategist?

He is clearly the imperial uncle!

He is the Imperial Uncle of the Han Dynasty!

But he's not even as good as someone with a different surname?

I may be resentful, but I am not.

In order to win, Liu Bei must not reveal anything at the moment.

"If that's the case, then just waiting here isn't a solution, is it?"

"What if Lu Bu doesn't fall for it and pretends not to see anything?"

Just then, Zhang Fei scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"Isn't that simple?"

"This matter can only be entrusted to you, General Zhang San."

Su Chen laughed heartily and looked at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei was dumbfounded:

"Wha...what do you mean?"

"Do you expect me to go and attack Lü Bu all by myself, scaring him to death?"

Su Chen immediately waved his hand and said:

"You have a very important task."

"Of everyone present, no one but you could have done it!"

"In this respect, you are absolutely Lu Bu's nemesis!"
