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

Chapter 150 People Fear Fame, Pigs Fear Getting Fat (Bonus Chapter Upon Release)

Before we knew it, five days had passed.

These five days can be described as calm and peaceful.

Nothing else happened.

Su Chen was stationed at the front line, and Yuan's army not only did not attack, but also withdrew.

Yuan Shao is now in a dilemma.

It's like chicken ribs—tasteless to eat, but a pity to throw away.

Moreover, at the same time, news arrived that Yuan Shu of Runan had been defeated and killed.

Left with no other choice, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and withdrew his troops.

Because Cao Cao returned in triumph and went back to the capital.

Su Chen naturally wouldn't stay on the front lines any longer.

After reorganizing the troops, they headed directly to Xuchang.

"Sir, your return to Xuchang will surely make you famous throughout the land!"

On the way, Xiao Sima Yi rode his horse, speaking excitedly.

Despite his young age, Sima Yi was quite skilled at riding horses.

At the very least, he's better than Su Chen.

What's so good about being famous all over the world?

Su Chen, however, seemed completely unconcerned.

Sima Yi was dumbfounded: "How could you say such a thing, sir?"

"Countless people wish they could be famous throughout the world during their lifetime and have their names recorded in history after their death."

"Sir, you have decisively defeated Yuan's army and reclaimed lost territory."

"They even captured Yan Liang and Wen Chou alive, humiliating Yuan Shao."

"After this battle, I will surely become famous."

Others are too envious to even have time to react.

Sima Yi was truly impressed.

He had seen countless people who would pay any price, even lose their lives, in order to become famous.

However, Su Chen didn't care at all?

Moreover, judging from his expression, Su Chen didn't seem to be lying at all.

Their conversation immediately caught the attention of Zhang Liao, who was standing nearby.

He asked doubtfully, "Sir, I think Zhongda's words make sense."

"A true man born between heaven and earth, how can he remain unknown and forgotten?"

"Everyone in the world strives for fame; why do you say this, sir?"

After several days of interaction, Zhang Liao also got to know Sima Yi.

He could tell that Sima Yi was quite insightful.

Those who can be accepted as students by Su Chen must be extraordinary individuals.

"Is what everyone pursues necessarily right?"

Su Chen glanced at the two of them, his face calm.

Zhang Liao looked puzzled: "Please enlighten me, sir."

Su Chen sighed softly and said, "What's so good about being famous throughout the world?"

"People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat; this is an age-old truth."

The two of them still didn't understand.

Even Xu Huang and Yu Jin came over.

Cao Xing and Xu Chu also hurried over on horseback.

They couldn't understand Su Chen's logic.

Su Chen did not answer directly, but instead asked, "Let me ask you."

"Before I faced Yuan Shao, I was already famous throughout the land."

"Will the outcome be the same as today?"

"The strategists under Yuan Shao were no ordinary people either."

"They will surely figure out my style of doing things and then devise a strategy against me."

"Leaving aside the strategists, how could Yan Liang and Wen Chou be so careless?"

"So much so that you fell for their traps repeatedly?"

Su Chen never thought of people from the ancient times as fools.

On the contrary, the famous generals and strategists who have gone down in history are no ordinary people.

Their minds are even sharper than mine.

Being known to them is not a good thing.

Everyone fell silent after hearing Su Chen's words.

Only Yu Jin gasped in astonishment: "So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"

"No wonder you didn't want military power."

"Moreover, he was unwilling to take credit for the victory in the Battle of Wancheng."

"So that's what it was for!"

Yu Jin suddenly realized what was going on.

He didn't understand at first that Su Chen should have been credited with the greatest merit in the Battle of Wancheng, and that he should have been awarded an important official position.

However, he chose to withdraw.

So that's what happened behind the scenes!

Thinking about it carefully, it really is true!

Becoming famous isn't always a good thing!

Su Chen raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this.

At the time, he hadn't really thought that much about it.

Yu Jin's ability to make associations is just too rich, isn't it?

Su Chen in the past simply didn't want to gain military power and merit, which would arouse Cao Cao's suspicion.

"Sir, your wisdom is truly admirable; I, Zhongda, have learned a great deal!"

Sima Yi suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly bowed to Su Chen.

"It's a pity that after this battle, your fame will surely soar."

"Not to mention others, Yuan Shao's advisors will certainly be extremely wary of you in the future."

"If you wish to extricate yourself unscathed, it will be difficult for you."

Only Zhang Liao sighed softly and said helplessly.

It turns out that what people pursue is not necessarily right.

Only a wise person like Su Chen would choose to live a life of peace and tranquility.

He is now completely devoted to Su Chen.

It's not just because of Su Chen's unpredictable and cunning strategies.

More importantly, it is this great wisdom.

"This day will come sooner or later."

"To break the deadlock, you must become the one who wields the sword."

"Since they're afraid of being studied, then let them not be able to figure it out."

"A person who can only formulate a single strategy cannot be called a strategist."

Su Chen waved his hand and said casually.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding generals all took a deep breath.

They now share the same thoughts as Zhang Liao.

They were practically in awe of Su Chen.

With such a mindset, what is there to fear in encountering an opponent?

"Sir, we have now angered Yuan Shao."

"He will inevitably clean up his surroundings in the future and then come to take revenge."

"How should our army respond at that time?"

Just then, Sima Yi couldn't help but ask.

In fact, he had already thought about this problem when he captured Yan Liang and Wen Chou.

A battle between them and Yuan Shao was inevitable.

However you look at it, Cao Cao's army is far weaker than Yuan Shao's army.

Once Yuan Shao suppressed Ma Teng, Gongsun Zan, and others.

If their hands and feet were no longer bound, they would be met with Yuan Shao's endless rage.

What should we do then?

Little did he know that the Battle of Guandu would break out afterward.

Su Chen did not intend to repeat the same tactics used in the Battle of Guandu.

Although Cao Cao's army won the Battle of Guandu, the victory was far too perilous.

Moreover, most of it was due to Xu You's betrayal.

My arrival has now altered the timeline somewhat.

If we just let things take their course, who knows what might happen?

"What do you think we should do?"

Su Chen didn't answer, but instead threw the question back at him.

Sima Yi was immediately stunned: "This—"

"The student is stupid; he can't understand it."

Although Sima Yi was intelligent, he really had no way to deal with this situation.

If it comes to a head-on confrontation, they definitely won't win.

If you're going to play dirty tricks, what should you do?

The person he is now is a completely different person from the person he will be in the future.

At present, Sima Yi can only be considered clever, but he is definitely not cunning.

"You'll know when you meet Sikong later."

Su Chen narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully.

Seeing Su Chen's expression, Sima Yi's eyes widened immediately: "Sir, could it be—could it be—?"

"They already had a plan to deal with Yuan's army?!"
