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

The next day, in Yuan Shao's camp.

"What?! What did you say?!"

Early in the morning, Yuan Shao's command tent was not quiet.

Yuan Shao's almost beast-like roar immediately echoed through the tent.

His eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets as he stared intently at the two people in front of him.

These two were none other than Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who had just been brought back.

At this moment, the two of them were only wearing a single layer of clothing, and they were shivering from the cold.

But at this moment, their faces were filled with shame and anger.

They didn't care at all whether it was cold or not.

"That Su Chen is worse than a beast!"

"It's not just the two of us, but also 50,000 elite troops, all of them are in the same situation..."

"Leave the horses, weapons, and armor..."

Yan Liang gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot.

Now, let alone Wen Chou.

Even Yan Liang wished he could just go back and kill Su Chen.

Shame before the snow.

He never imagined in his life that he would encounter such humiliation!

"My lord!"

"Although I am a criminal, I hope that my lord will grant me some men."

"This humble general will surely tear those Cao soldiers to pieces and skin Su Chen alive!"

Wen Chou was even more agitated, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"That's enough!"

Yuan Shao was so angry that his vision blurred.

He originally thought that Cao Cao was already shameless enough.

Unexpectedly, an even more beastly one showed up.

He went even further than Cao Cao.

Even a bastard like Cao Cao wouldn't have done something like this.

"My lord! Please, my lord, send troops!"

"This news spread throughout the camp, and throughout Youzhou and Bingzhou."

"Where is the dignity of our army?!"

"Su Chen's actions clearly show that he completely disregards our army and has utterly abandoned all pretense of respect!"

"How can our army swallow this insult?"

Seeing this, Guo Tu hurriedly urged them to fight.

Feng Ji, standing to the side, quickly chimed in:

"Yes, my lord!"

"The morale of our troops has already been affected."

"If this continues, we'll just have to swallow our anger like this."

"How should our army confront Cao Cao's army in the future?"

Their words were like a match.

This completely ignited the anger that Yuan Shao had been suppressing.

He couldn't take it anymore, he absolutely couldn't take it anymore.

"That Su Chen has repeatedly humiliated me!"

"And now, they're doing something even more illogical!"

"If I spare his life, how can I explain it to my soldiers?!"

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and roared:

"Assemble the troops..."

However, before he could finish speaking...

Xu You, standing to the side, hurriedly spoke up:

"My lord, do not fall into Su Chen's trap!"

Falling into a trap?

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao's expression immediately changed:

"What trap have you fallen for?"

"Since Su Chen has already humiliated me so much, what other tricks could he possibly have up his sleeve?"

Xu You spoke:

"That was Su Chen's original intention!"

"He did indeed send everyone back intact."

"In this way, he is not breaking his previous promise."

"Even if our army attacks after our supplies and armor have been plundered, we will have no legitimate reason to fight."

"Defeat is inevitable; we have no choice but to accept this outcome."

"If we rashly advance now, wouldn't it be the same as failing to send supplies and provisions before?"

"If we act without a legitimate reason, we will be associated with Yuan Shu."

At this point, Xu You sighed softly and said:

"I never expected this! I underestimated Su Chen!"

"This person is truly terrifying!"

"They've even resorted to such underhanded tactics."

"He just wants to provoke our lord and our army."

"This will allow our army to be attacked from all sides!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao's face twitched.

Xu You was absolutely right, but he just wouldn't accept it.

Does this mean he should just swallow his anger and pretend nothing happened?

Where does that leave him to save face?

After Yuan Shu was defeated.

Cao Cao returned to the capital in triumph.

Wouldn't Cao Cao use this as an excuse to make fun of him to death?

"Are we just going to let it go like this?!"

Yuan Shao said through gritted teeth.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou, standing to the side, were even more furious.

But now, they don't dare to interrupt.

Such a thing happened, such a crushing defeat, and such humiliation.

They were eventually exchanged for grain and supplies.

They really had no face left to stay in the camp.

"My lord!"

Xu You sighed helplessly:

"Su Chen's goal was never food supplies, provisions, or weapons!"

"His target is our Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Qingzhou!"

These words were like a bucket of cold water, poured directly on Yuan Shao from head to toe.

"Bang!"

He slammed his fist on the desk again.

The anger in my heart was raging, but I could only grit my teeth and bear it.

If they actually take action, then it's all over.

"Xu Ziyuan! You're being far too timid and cowardly!"

"How are we supposed to explain this to our soldiers?!"

Guo Tu could no longer bear it and spoke up.

Feng Ji was also indignant:

"Yes! So, you mean you've been in contact with Su Chen for some time?"

"He repeatedly suggested against attacking."

"My lord, I suspect Xu Ziyuan has already colluded with the enemy!"

Yuan Shao had always given serious consideration to both of their suggestions.

But every time Xu You appears, he goes against them.

Yuan Shao then had no choice but to give up.

How could they not be furious?

If things continue like this, what opportunities will the two of them have to offer advice in the future?

If this continues, I'm afraid Xu You will easily replace them!

One good strategist is enough.

Faced with their questions, Xu You sneered and said:

"I'm a traitor?"

"How ridiculous!"

"I think that the two of you are too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and you are too greedy for credit and reckless."

"They only think about revenge, and only think about attacking Yanzhou."

"Yet they didn't mention a word about the potential consequences!"

"If you ask me, aren't you two the most likely to be traitors?"

Guo Tu and Feng Ji were so angry they almost vomited blood.

They were furious and wanted to argue with Xu You again.

However, Yuan Shao still spoke out:

"That's enough!"

"In ancient times, there was Goujian who endured hardship and humiliation to achieve his goal."

"What if I just endure it for a while?"

"Pass down the order to pacify the three armies."

"Keep a close eye on Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan."

"Let's leave Yanzhou aside for now."

"Yan Liang, Wen Chou, you two quickly organize your troops and go keep an eye on Xiliang."

"I won't rest easy until these future troubles are eliminated!"

At this point, Yuan Shao had already made his decision.

There's no point in fighting against scoundrels like Cao Cao and Su Chen now.

Instead of wasting time, you might as well quickly cut off the two shackles around you.

Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan did not die.

He would never be able to move south, and he would never be able to take Yanzhou.

He'd had enough of this restrictive life.

However, he did not see it.

At this moment, the eyes of Yan Liang and Wen Chou had lost their luster.

They now feel unworthy to be generals.

He is not fit to command the three armies.

Having suffered such humiliation, it would be better to attack Xiliang.

I'm afraid they'll just laugh at me.

Yuan Shao didn't see any of this, but Xu You saw it all clearly.

He sighed helplessly and couldn't help but look towards Cao Cao's army camp.

How should we deal with an opponent like Su Chen?
