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

a few days later.

Xudu.

At this point, Xun Yu was in a complete mess.

In recent days, one northern city after another has fallen.

In just a few days, they have already lost three cities.

Only now has Xun Yu finally managed to fully assemble his troops.

This barely managed to stop Yan Liang and Wen Chou's advance.

"If the Prime Minister doesn't return soon, I fear Yanzhou may truly fall!"

"How dare Yuan Shao be so reckless?"

Xun Yu looked at the battle report before him and felt a chill run down his spine.

In just a few short days, the losses have been so severe.

The already small force has now suffered over 10,000 casualties.

If Yuan Shao intends to reinforce his troops.

Then Yanzhou truly cannot be defended!

"Report!"

Just as Xun Yu was pondering a way to break the deadlock...

Suddenly, a soldier rushed over:

"Reporting to Your Excellency, Chief Clerk Su has arrived with his troops!"

Upon hearing this, Xun Yu's eyes lit up:

"Hurry and be affectionate!"

Although the aristocratic families led by Xun Yu were incompatible with the commoner families represented by Su Chen.

Although there was no friction between the two, they did not get along.

But now, in this critical moment, no one can care about these things.

At present, Su Chen is the only reinforcement for Yanzhou.

Not long after, Su Chen arrived with his generals.

The journey was truly arduous.

Su Chen led his army northward at breakneck speed.

They barely arrived.

"Jingming!"

"You've finally arrived!"

Xun Yu immediately said excitedly:

"How many reinforcements did they bring back?!"

Su Chen was taken aback at first, then said:

"The total number is less than 10,000."

Upon hearing this, Xun Yu was completely stunned.

Ten thousand?!

Less than 20,000?

"this……"

"Why did you only give me so few troops, Sikong?"

Xun Yu was completely stunned.

With less than 10,000 people, what good would it do even if they came?

Su Chen spoke up:

"The situation in Yangzhou has now reached a critical juncture."

"Yuan Shu is on his last legs and will be defeated soon."

"Lord Xun, the most urgent thing is to tell me about the current situation as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Xun Yu stopped thinking about it.

He slowly opened his mouth and said:

"The current situation is not optimistic."

"Yuan Shao sent 50,000 troops, who have already captured three of our cities."

"I fear we will reach the fourth city soon."

"If even this city is captured..."

"Then they are extremely close to Xuchang!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen's face twitched.

What the hell?!

How many days has it been?

How could they have lost three cities in a row?

That shouldn't be happening!

Xun Yu often stayed in the rear to protect Cao Cao's army's reserves.

Why are you so pathetic now?

Xun Yu saw through Su Chen's thoughts and said:

"These three cities are not important."

"Although the troops in Yanzhou are not numerous at the moment, it is quite difficult to gather them together."

"If it weren't for the need to gather troops, these three cities would never have been given to Yuan's army."

Su Chen nodded thoughtfully:

Who is the commander-in-chief leading the troops?

"Yan Liang, Wen Chou."

Upon hearing these two names, Su Chen was immediately taken aback.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou?

Aren't these two the strongest generals under Yuan Shao?

Although in the novel, he was killed by Guan Yu one after another.

But their strength is definitely among the best.

Yan Liang was the most skilled in martial arts.

In fact, he has already reached the level of a top-tier military general.

However, due to carelessness and underestimating his enemy, he was killed by Guan Yu.

Wen Chou was slightly inferior, but he was still a first-rate military general.

Yuan Shao actually sent these two men.

His intentions are crystal clear!

"So, what does Lord Xun intend to do now?"

Su Chen did not speak up first to express his thoughts.

Instead, he asked a question.

Xun Yu frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke:

"Since you only brought 10,000 men, that's enough."

"The most urgent task at hand is to reunite as soon as possible and meet Yan Liang and Wen Chou before the fourth city."

"Yuan Jun's troops are not too bad."

"After all, the disparity in troop strength isn't that great."

"But... the problem lies with these two military officers."

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou are both top-tier military generals of our time, and few can rival them."

"Currently, our army's garrison commanders are only Zang Ba and others."

"Generals such as Cao Ren are not here."

"The most crucial question is how to fight against these two generals."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen chuckled and said:

"I thought it was some serious trouble."

"If that were all there was to it, it would actually be simpler."

Upon hearing this, Xun Yu was stunned.

He couldn't help but look behind Su Chen.

The three generals are Cao Xing, Zhang Liao, and Xu Chu.

Cao Xing knew Zhang Liao and Xun Yu naturally.

Let's not even talk about Cao Xing; in my memory, he was just a third-rate military general.

Zhang Liao was indeed a fierce general.

However, it is still extremely difficult for one person to fight two.

As for Xu Chu, Xun Yu didn't know him at all.

These three people actually want to fight against Yan Liang and Wen Chou?

Is this a joke?

Xun Yu had no idea.

Zhang Liao and Xu Chu are far more formidable than Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

"What about General Yu Jin and General Xu Huang?"

Xun Yu's face was extremely ugly.

He understands now.

Su Chen didn't come to provide assistance.

They're clearly here to annoy him!

It would have been better not to come at all!

Come on, why didn't you bring Yu Jin and Xu Huang along?

In his opinion, these two were quite formidable warriors.

Su Chen waved his hand and said:

Don't worry.

"Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou are strong, General Zhang Liao and General Xu Chu are more than enough to deal with them."

Xun Yu looked at Su Chen with a suspicious expression.

But at this point, there was no choice but to give it to him.

Xun Yu could only sigh and say:

"That's enough."

"In that case, I urge Jingming to lead his troops to the front lines as soon as possible to provide reinforcements."

"I will arrange the supplies as soon as possible."

Su Chen waved his hand and said:

"etc."

"Lord Xun, we don't actually need to defend the city to the death."

Upon hearing this, Xun Yu was stunned.

He had absolutely no idea what Su Chen was going to do.

"So what do you want to do?"

Xun Yu asked with a puzzled look.

"Since they dared to eat three of our cities..."

"Then of course we must take it back."

Su Chen spoke while smiling calmly.

These words immediately left Xun Yu completely bewildered:

"Take it back?"

"How is this possible?"

"Right now, we must still take advantage of our defensive position to fight against Yuan's army."

"We'll consider retaking the city after the Minister of Works returns with his troops."

"Yan Liang and Wen Chou command 50,000 elite troops!"

"It's absolutely impossible to retake the city from them without our main force!"

Xun Yu understood this very well.

The gap between Cao Cao's army and Yuan Shao's army is too obvious at the moment.

"Let's not even talk about these 50,000 elite troops."

"What if Yuan Shao sends troops again?"

Xun Yu asked in a deep voice.

No, it won't.

"If Yuan Shao still wants to keep the territory he holds..."

"I wouldn't dare do that."

Su Chen smiled calmly and said:

"That's what he wants to do."

"We'll have to ask Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan if they agree!"
