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

Chapter 140 Following the Master is the Right Way

Upon hearing this, Su Chen was slightly taken aback.

How did Qinghe find out about this?

Sima Yi pursed his lips and remained silent.

Su Chen couldn't help but look over.

No wonder later generations said that Sima Yi was afraid of his wife Zhang Chunhua.

It seems that what was said was true.

He's not even old enough to be looking for a wife yet.

It has already begun.

"Sir, this matter was arranged by my father."

"You should listen to him."

,

"You may bring Sister Mi Zhen over to live with me for now."

"My husband is not home, and the house is unsafe with no one around."

Just then, Qinghe smiled calmly and spoke.

Su Chen's gaze toward Qinghe became incredibly strange.

What do you mean by that?

She agrees to her husband taking a concubine and even wants to move in with her?

Su Chen frowned slightly, looking doubtful.

"Ahem, even if it was Sikong's arrangement."

""

"But you can also choose not to obey."

Su Chen waved his hand and said, "Besides, Sikong hasn't returned yet."

"Let's wait until he gets back before making a decision."

""

"However, it would be good to bring her here."

"It's really not very safe in my residence."

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Qinghe was slightly taken aback, appearing quite surprised.

"Let's wait until Sikong returns to discuss this matter."

""

"Don't mention it."

Su Chen silenced Qinghe with another sentence.

It's not that Su Chen looks down on Mi Zhen.

However, Qinghe is no ordinary person.

Although it is not recorded in official history.

However, many unofficial historical accounts say that Qinghe became ruthless in his later years.

In any case, it's always good to be on guard.

This kind of difficult problem can be easily handed over to Boss Cao.

Anyway, it was Boss Cao who caused this mess.

The one who tied the knot must untie it.

"Alright, then let's not talk about it."

"Don't worry, sir. I support your decision no matter what."

Qinghe smiled slightly and said, "My mother has been wanting to meet you since she came here."

""

"Now that you have some free time, sir, why not come to our residence tomorrow?"

Su Chen frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought.

Then, he gave Sima Yi a look.

Upon seeing this, Sima Yi immediately understood and said, "Miss, I'm afraid this won't work."

"Sir, you just have some free time today."

,

"Tomorrow, we will go to the front line to confront Yuan's army."

"I'm afraid I won't have any free time for a long time."

""

"It was the gentleman who came to visit the young lady today."

""

Upon hearing this, Su Chen couldn't help but secretly give Sima Yi a thumbs up.

Good heavens, this truly deserves to be called the oldest silver coin from the Three Kingdoms period.

So small, yet so perfectly round.

No wonder he lived so long, outliving three generations of the Cao family.

"I see----

A hint of disappointment flashed in Qinghe's eyes.

But then he immediately said, "That Yuan Jun and my father have always been at odds."

,

"Sir, please be careful tomorrow."

""

Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, his face was full of worry.

Su Chen couldn't help but say affectionately, "Don't worry."

"I'll be exactly the same when I leave."

After exchanging a few brief pleasantries, Su Chen left the Sikong Mansion.

Not long after they left, Sima Yi approached and asked, puzzled, "Sir."

"It's a good thing that Madam Ding is willing to see you."

""

"Why are you unwilling?"

Su Chen glanced over and said, "You're quite talkative."

He finally figured it out.

As for Sima Yi, he could no longer do what he had previously said about listening more and asking less.

This kid is like a walking encyclopedia of "whys".

Curious about everything.

"Cough cough————"

Upon seeing this, Sima Yi quickly said, "However, sir, Yuan Shao is likely to make another move soon."

"Yuan Shao was arrogant and ignorant, and never took Sikong seriously."

""

"We've suffered a loss at your hands, sir."

"He certainly won't just wait like this."

"Moreover, his subordinates Tian Feng, Xu You, and others are not ordinary people either."

"I'm afraid they've already started considering how to deal with you, sir."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen nodded and said, "You've seen things quite clearly."

"But don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Sima Yi's eyes lit up: "As expected of you, sir!"

'

"Sir, do you already have a brilliant plan?"

Su Chen replied casually, "No."

"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

Upon hearing this, Sima Yi froze on the spot.

Good grief, you were so serious, but you were completely unprepared?

Su Chen calmly asked, "Do you really think Yuan Shao would listen to what Tian Feng and Xu You said?"

Do you know why Yuan Shao controlled the entire Ji Province and most of You Province?

""

"But now we're stuck in a rut?"

'

"Unlike Sikong, who could take over multiple territories?"

Sima Yi was taken aback when the question was asked.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Could it be—because the Grand Commandant holds the Emperor in his hands?"

Su Chen frowned slightly and shook his head, saying, "That's part of the reason, but it's not enough."

,

"Most importantly, he was too confident in himself."

""

"So much so that no one else wants to believe it."

Yuan Shao's personality doomed him to defeat.

It must be said that Xu You and Tian Feng were indeed rare and outstanding figures in the world today.

They were also quite loyal to Yuan Shao.

Xu You was at least in the early stages.

Tian Feng was a man who would die for his principles.

But Yuan Shao only listened to about half of what they said.

Sometimes they can't even hear a single word.

The main reason is his family's background of having served as high-ranking officials for four generations.

This led Yuan Shao to believe that he was from a noble family and that his thoughts were more important than anyone else's.

This led to Xu You's failure to offer any strategies during the final Battle of Guandu, forcing him to defect.

Compared to honest advice that is hard to hear.

Yuan Shao preferred the slanderous words of Guo Tu and Feng Ji.

The more they praised him, the more Yuan Shao liked him.

Befriend petty people and distance yourself from virtuous ministers.

It would be strange if they didn't lose.

Therefore, Su Chen remained completely calm.

Yuan Shao's current predicament isn't one of composure, but rather a fear of losing face.

For him, saving face is more important than anything else.

This conclusion could only remain in Su Chen's mind.

It is estimated that this information was given to Sima Yi regarding the upcoming Battle of Guandu.

He would just look completely bewildered.

Besides, there's no need to say so much to him.

Little did he know that what he was saying had already given Sima Yi a long time to think.

Although it's impossible to guess Su Chen's true thoughts.

But at least 40% of the guesses came true.

"What you say is absolutely right, sir!"

'

Just then, Sima Yi said with a smile.

He then realized that he and his husband had chosen the right person!

Following Su Chen for only a day, I've actually seen through so many things.

At first, he didn't quite understand Yuan Shao's attack.

Now, after Su Chen's few words...

This suddenly made him realize the truth!

"Alright, you'll come with me to the front lines tomorrow."

Su Chen waved his hand and spoke.

"Oh? Sir, you really want to go?"

'

Sima Yi was completely dumbfounded.

"Otherwise what?"

'

"Didn't you say you weren't worried about Yuan Shao?"

"Yuan Shao may not give the order, but do you think Yan Liang and Wen Chou won't come?"

'

"Are the two of them the kind of people who would swallow their pride and suffer in silence?"
