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

"Haha, that's awesome!"

"That was so satisfying to yell at!"

After Zhang Fei withdrew, he immediately exclaimed how satisfying it was.

I don't know how long it's been since I've been able to curse so freely.

In particular, the insults were directed at Lü Bu, the traitor who served three masters.

Instantly, much of the anger that had been building up inside him dissipated.

"Although I can't see it."

"But Lu Bu is probably furious, almost to the point of madness, right?"

Zhang Fei said with a delighted expression.

Xu Huang, Cao Xing, and the others standing to the side could only manage a wry smile.

I wonder who was it that complained about how awful those insults were.

"However, how did your Chief Clerk Su come up with such abusive language?"

"If I were Lü Bu, my ancestors for eighteen generations would be insulted like this."

"They've already mounted their horses and left the city for a decisive battle."

Zhang Fei's mood improved considerably, and he began to chatter incessantly, as if a floodgate had been opened.

"General Zhang San, have you had your fill of cursing?"

"Let's go back first, rest a bit, and then continue arguing."

Xu Huang smiled calmly and spoke.

This surprised Zhang Fei for a moment:

"Still cursing?"

"I've been cursing for a full hour!"

Xu Huang shrugged and said in a deep voice:

"This is the gentleman's request."

"Let's do nothing today but curse Lü Bu here."

"Until the sun goes down."

At this point, Zhang Fei could no longer hold back:

"The sun has set?"

"It's only past noon, how many more hours are they going to keep cursing?!"

This was the first time Zhang Fei had ever been annoyed by someone cursing.

"I think Lu Bu is a coward now."

"Why should we waste our breath arguing with him here?"

"We'll just stay here. If all else fails, we can just attack the city directly."

Zhang Fei was immediately displeased.

This is definitely a physically demanding job.

After that afternoon, it's no wonder his throat was parched.

Xu Huang shook his head and said in a deep voice:

"General Zhang San, our purpose in coming here is not to lure out Lü Bu."

Even if Lü Bu was furious at this moment, he would never dare to leave the city.

"What we need to do is attract his attention."

"Let Lü Bu think that our army is all here, and challenge him to come out and walk into our trap."

"Moreover, this will also attract Yuan Shu's attention."

"This will give General Cao Ren the opportunity to catch them off guard."

Zhang Fei felt bitter, but he couldn't express it.

For the sake of the bigger picture, this is the only way.

……

Before you know it, the sun is setting.

Zhang Fei was so exhausted that his eyes rolled back before he returned to his tent.

At this time, in the city.

Lu Bu's face had turned a deep liver color from anger.

"Gone?"

Lu Bu's eyes widened, and he was already somewhat dazed.

His back teeth were almost ground to dust.

The armored soldier standing to the side shrank his neck:

"Reporting to the General, we've departed..."

Lu Bu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

His fists were clenched so tightly they turned white, and he was trembling with anger.

This was the first time Lü Bu had ever encountered something like this!

One person yelled and cursed from noon until sunset!

Not a single word was repeated!

Not to mention Lu Bu's ancestors for eighteen generations, almost his entire nine generations of relatives have been insulted.

"A humiliating disgrace, an absolute humiliation!"

Lu Bu was so angry that his teeth itched, and there were countless times when he wished he could risk everything.

He grabbed his weapon and went out to chop down Zhang Fei, that black bastard.

"General, you must remain calm in all matters."

Just then, a deep voice came from behind.

Upon hearing this voice, Lü Bu was slightly taken aback.

The speaker was an old man with a gloomy expression.

This person was none other than Yan Xiang.

He was also the foremost of Yuan Shu's three chief strategists.

When Yuan Shu declared himself emperor, he was the only one who advised against it, citing the example of King Wen of Zhou who, despite having gained two-thirds of the empire, still submitted to the Yin dynasty.

As a result, Yuan Shu did not adopt his suggestion at all, and instead began to neglect Yan Xiang.

Otherwise, the position of Imperial Preceptor would not have belonged to Yang Hong, but to Yan Xiang.

Now that Yuan Shu has heard that Lü Bu has come to join him, he has decisively arranged for Yan Xiang to come here to keep an eye on Lü Bu.

To put it nicely, they were keeping an eye on Lü Bu.

To put it bluntly, it was a deliberate attempt to drive Yan Xiang out.

Although Lü Bu was proud and arrogant.

But right now, when you're under someone's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head.

Moreover, although Yan Xiang was not a top-tier strategist, he was still quite a capable one.

Lu Bu still held him in some respect.

"Mr. Yan, this black-clad scoundrel is simply going too far!"

"He not only insulted me, but also Yuan... and even the Zhong family emperor!"

"If this traitor is not quelled, my conscience will not be at peace!"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

Yan Xiang shook his head and narrowed his eyes:

"Why is Zhang Fei so confident, and so eager for you to leave the city?"

"Clearly, Cao Cao's army intends to start from this city."

"I have already mobilized soldiers from several surrounding cities as reinforcements."

"The more critical the moment, the more we need to remain calm!"

Although Lü Bu was extremely dissatisfied, he could only swallow his anger and resentment.

"This Cao army must not be fully prepared yet."

"Otherwise, we would have definitely started the siege immediately."

"Their haste has exposed their weaknesses."

"In this way, our army will have ample time to mobilize reinforcements."

Yan Xiang said coldly:

"I'd like to see how they're going to breach the city!"

Yan Xiang's words immediately brought Lü Bu a great deal of comfort.

If that's really the case.

Then it was worth it for him to be scolded all day.

Yan Xiang was not as good as Chen Gong.

However, his strategic thinking was still a game-changer for Lü Bu.

"Why did Cao Cao's army choose this particular spot to attack?"

Lu Bu asked, somewhat puzzled:

"Shouldn't this city be the most difficult to conquer?"

Yan Xiang stroked his white beard and said coldly:

"These Cao soldiers are probably trying every possible way to humiliate us!"

"They want to gather a large force and use this opportunity to announce their intentions to the world."

"Speaking of Cao Cao's army, they can attack the most difficult city head-on!"

"To make a name for myself and everyone!"

"Right now... my lord has become an enemy of ten thousand men."

"On the contrary, it became a good opportunity for Cao Mengde to make a name for himself."

When he spoke the last two sentences, you could hear the bitterness in Yan Xiang's voice.

He hates!

He resented that none of his colleagues dared to stand up and join him in dissuading him!

They were all short-sighted, just like Yuan Shu!

Even though he decided to die for his cause, Yuan Shu pretended nothing was wrong!

The current situation is one where one is an enemy of ten thousand men.

It's only a matter of time before it's captured!

Even so, as long as he remained in power, Yan Xiang would continue to meddle in politics.

Lu Bu, however, did not think so.

A raging fire had already ignited in his heart.

Why did Lü Bu come to join Yuan Shu? He had only one thought in his mind.

This was done by taking advantage of the current strength of Yuan Shu's army.

They defeated the allied forces of Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

Immediately afterwards, they marched north and recaptured Xuzhou.

Even if we give Xuzhou to Yuan Shu, it doesn't matter!

All he wants is his wife and children!

And... Chen Gong's corpse!

Incidentally, we should also eliminate the two traitors, Cao Xing and Zhang Liao!

With this thought in mind, the fighting spirit in Lü Bu's eyes grew even stronger.

However, at that moment, the voice of a scout came from below the city wall:

"Report!"

"Oh no! Oh no!"
