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

Looking at the sincere, even somewhat stubborn young man in front of me.

Su Chen was stunned.

If the young man in front of him wasn't Sima Yi, Su Chen wouldn't have thought anything of it.

However, this young man is Sima Yi!

Who was Sima Yi?

Although he was not a native of the Jin Dynasty, he laid a solid foundation for the development of the Jin Dynasty.

He single-handedly created a shameful period in the history of China – the Jin Dynasty.

It can be said that the entire Sima family, apart from Sima Yi and his sons Sima Zhao and Sima Shi, consisted of only three people.

The rest are basically the worst of the worst.

The second emperor after the founding emperor Sima Yan was a true mentally challenged man.

This led to the subsequent War of the Eight Princes and the Five Barbarian Invasions.

It can be said that they have turned the entire land of China into a mess.

For over four hundred years, they have not had a moment of peace.

The Han people were almost completely slaughtered.

The chaos that followed.

It was countless times more chaotic and dark than the Three Kingdoms period of today.

At least, although the Three Kingdoms period is chaotic now, it is only an internal struggle among the Han people.

During the height of the Three Kingdoms period, foreign tribes didn't even have the right to watch gods fight.

Thinking of this, Su Chen couldn't help but sigh.

The wheels of history keep turning.

Sima Yi can be considered the beginning of a chaotic era.

The root of the problem was his illegitimate usurpation of power.

"Sir...?"

Seeing that Su Chen did not respond, he even sighed.

Sima Yi was immediately startled.

He had no idea what would happen next.

How could they possibly know what Su Chen was thinking at that moment?

Actually, he struggled with the decision for a long time before coming here.

After all, Sima Yi had a very high opinion of himself.

Although it was never shown.

But deep down, he believed himself to be an unparalleled genius of our time.

Until he met Su Chen.

After witnessing Su Chen's methods and strategies firsthand.

This was the first time Sima Yi had felt a sense of defeat and shock.

In his eyes, Su Chen was someone he could never reach in his lifetime.

That's understandable, actually.

After all, Su Chen is knowledgeable about both ancient and modern times and has the means to foresee the future.

During this period, he was truly a god-like figure.

With a little work, the future can be fine-tuned.

Thus, they can write their own magnificent epic.

Sima Yi was unaware of these things.

All he knew was that Su Chen was not only a man of great talent.

He was knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, truly omniscient and omnipotent.

Therefore, he had the idea of ​​becoming Su Chen's apprentice.

For no other reason than that.

It would be good if I could learn some methods to foresee the future from Su Chen.

However, he did not expect Su Chen to react this way.

If you don't agree, then you don't agree. What does that mean?

This made him feel very uneasy and fearful.

"Sima Yi, courtesy name Zhongda, right?"

Su Chen frowned slightly and spoke.

"Ahem... Sir, I am not yet twenty years old and do not have a courtesy name."

"However... Zhongda is a very good name."

"Thank you for the calligraphy, sir!"

Although most of the characters used by people in ancient times were given to them by their elders in the family.

However, there are also many highly respected and virtuous people who have chosen his calligraphy.

Although Su Chen is not very old now, he can definitely be considered a famous person.

He took Su Chen's words as fact.

Since he was willing to give me a courtesy name, then he had agreed!

Thinking of this, he was immediately filled with excitement.

"That's not important."

Su Chen waved his hand and said calmly:

"Why do you want to become my disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Sima Yi replied without hesitation:

"In order to learn from your talent."

"To contribute to the current chaotic world."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen almost burst out laughing.

Goodness, he would have believed anyone else if he'd said that!

But could Sima Yi utter such passionate words?

Sima Yi was a notorious cunning and treacherous ruler.

He outlived three generations of the Cao family from beginning to end, a ruthless individual.

However, seeing the burning desire in Sima Yi's eyes, Su Chen believed it.

At that time, he did indeed have this thought.

"The world is in chaos, and the people are suffering."

"At this time, you will assist a wise ruler to pacify the world, unify the country, and restore the land."

"But the real power is in your hands. The wise ruler died tragically, and the one who succeeded him was not a wise ruler."

"Will you choose to write your own epic, or will you choose to remain a subject?"

Su Chen slowly opened his mouth and continued to ask.

He wanted to see how Sima Yi would respond.

Sima Yi was taken aback upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected Su Chen to ask that question.

But he quickly gave his answer:

"If I am to be a subject, I will always be a subject!"

Upon hearing this, Su Chen merely scoffed inwardly.

To be honest, he didn't know whether Sima Yi was being dishonest when he said those words.

However, if this is true, it would mean that Sima Yi was indeed loyal to his lord in the early stages.

If this is done against one's conscience, then this person is truly cunning.

Actually, Su Chen didn't mean anything by asking these questions.

It was just out of curiosity.

He really wanted to know.

What will this future strategist's mindset and appearance be like in the early stages?

Now it seems that it is somewhat different from what I understood.

But this did not affect Su Chen's opinion of Sima Yi.

The wheels of history keep turning ever forward.

Everything is predetermined.

Sima Yi was the key that unlocked the Dark Ages.

This key, if not destroyed.

So whatever he does, regardless of whether Cao Wei unifies the world or not.

That day, the world will still become the way he remembers it.

More than four hundred years of chaos.

For over four hundred years, the Chinese people lived in dire straits.

Su Chen was unwilling to see this happen.

Therefore, Sima Yi had to die.

If he could, Su Chen would kill him without hesitation.

Who cares if there will be another Sima Yi later.

The most important thing is to resolve the immediate hidden dangers first.

but……

Su Chen is not capable of doing that yet.

The Sima family was, after all, one of the leading clans of the gentry.

Killing Sima Yi at this time would incite discontent among the gentry and noble families of the land.

In this way, whatever you want to do will be restricted.

There's almost nothing that can be done.

"I can agree to that."

Thinking of this, Su Chen spoke:

"However, I have one condition."

Since we cannot destroy this key for the time being.

Then keep it by your side.

We'll take action when it's time to destroy it.

It's better than letting him become an unstable variable.

At least, it's in our own hands.

Upon hearing this, Sima Yi's eyes lit up:

"The student greets the teacher!"

"Teacher, please tell me, what are the conditions?"

Su Chen slowly spoke:

Listen more, do less.

"Whatever thoughts arise in your mind, suppress them as much as possible."

"I can already see your future."

"A single misstep could lead to utter ruin."

"It could even plunge the entire Sima family into its greatest crisis."

"As a result, the surname Sima disappeared in later generations."
