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

Chapter 159 It's time to give Yuan Shao a sweet treat.

"Jingming, is this really going to work?"

"Something feels off to me."

At this moment, Guo Jia was in a strange pose, looking at Su Chen.

After drinking the sugar water, he felt almost nothing and felt much better overall.

But who knew that Su Chen would suddenly turn around and launch a surprise attack.

He even made himself do these strange movements.

However, Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "It will definitely work."

"This movement is no ordinary movement; it's called Tai Chi."

"I recently learned some exercise from Jingming."

"After completing one set of treatments each day, my whole body feels refreshed and invigorated!"

"With continued practice, it can strengthen the body and prolong life!"

Upon hearing Boss Cao's words, Su Chen's face twitched.

Goodness, how come he doesn't remember saying so much?

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia was quite surprised and asked, "Is it really that miraculous?"

"However, completing this set of Tai Chi is quite physically demanding."

"Right now, I'm finding it hard to breathe."

Guo Jia's body was far weaker than Su Chen had imagined.

After all, he was a genius who was envied by heaven, and his physique was much weaker than that of ordinary people.

In addition, he spent years running around handling camp affairs.

His immune system is currently quite weak.

Even this minor cold can torment him for months.

The simplest way now is to gradually get him to exercise.

Unfortunately, Su Chen can't get his hands on dumbbells or anything like that right now.

Otherwise, I'd have to teach Guo Jia how to lift weights.

An incense stick has burned for a while.

The Tai Chi routine was finally completed.

Guo Jia sat on the stone bench, drenched in sweat and panting heavily!

"Jingming's method seems to be truly effective."

"I feel like my blood is surging through my body, and I feel very comfortable."

"The feeling of tightness in my chest seems to have lessened a lot."

Su Chen waved his hand and said, "Brother Jingming, you have to keep doing this and practice one or two sets every day."

"Worry less about things in the camp, and worry more about yourself."

Guo Jia shook his head helplessly and said, "The situation with Yuan's army is becoming increasingly tense."

"I need to think of something right now."

"Yuan Shao then occupied Ji Province, Qing Province, You Province, and Bing Province."

"They are a powerful force, eyeing us covetously."

"Our troops must not be complacent."

Planning ahead was Guo Jia's habit.

Moreover, Su Chen has now thwarted Yuan's army's original plan to launch a surprise attack on Chongzhou.

Yuan Shao is currently furious.

No one can say for sure when Yuan Shao will suddenly launch an attack.

"Brother Fengxiao, what's the rush?"

"Yuan Shao is currently tied up with both hands, so Ma Teng and Gongsun Zan are enough to keep him busy."

Su Chen waved his hand dismissively.

Guo Jia frowned: "Yanzhou is, after all, a place of constant warfare."

"Yuan Shao's power is so great that it's only a matter of time before he takes down Gongsun Zan."

"Once Gongsun Zan is captured, Ma Teng, who is far away in Xiliang, will not pose much of a threat to him."

"At that time, he will inevitably become an enemy of our army."

Su Chen raised an eyebrow and smiled, "This isn't difficult to handle."

"It's nothing more than delaying Yuan Shao's advance."

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia and Cao Cao's eyes lit up: "Jingming, what's the plan?"

Su Chen said calmly, "Although Yuan Shao occupies four territories, he has never obtained them properly."

"Our Minister of Works is now acting on behalf of the Emperor to command the disobedient."

"The emperor is with us, what are we afraid of?"

"Sikong only needs to find the emperor, and with one imperial edict, Yuan Shao will be appointed as Grand General."

"And he acknowledged that these four provinces were under Yuan Shao's jurisdiction."

"Having tasted the benefits, Yuan Shao, with his stubborn and self-willed nature, will not attack Yanzhou anytime soon."

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "Brilliant plan, brilliant plan!"

"Was Jingming's plan something he devised long ago, when he defeated Yuan's army?!"

"In this way, Yuan Shao will have little reason to attack my Yan Province!"

Su Chen smiled calmly and didn't say anything more.

He couldn't very well say that the plan actually came from Cao Cao himself, could he?

This was originally Cao Cao's subsequent strategy against Yuan Shao.

Right now, this is the only truly effective way to resolve this issue.

Although it won't delay things for too long.

But at least it can be delayed for a year or two.

Su Chen was absolutely confident that he could train a large number of recruit-level soldiers within a year or two.

It would also be good to do something else and consolidate the current fighting strength of Cao Cao's army.

At that time, which was two years later in history, the Battle of Guandu broke out.

The win rate will also be higher.

Moreover, Cao Cao has just taken over Xuzhou and Runan, and has not yet had time to digest them.

This period is also a good time to expand our influence.

As it turns out, the old method still works.

"Jingming's words are indeed reasonable."

Cao Cao chuckled and said, "Someone, go and draft an edict for the Emperor."

"Then he appointed Yuan Shao as Grand General, in charge of the four provinces of Ji, You, Bing, and Qing."

This method is truly ingenious.

Yuan Shao reaped the benefits; at least he was officially recognized as the master of these four provinces.

In this way, he would have little reason to attack Yanzhou.

The imperial court has just appointed him as Grand General. Surely the Grand General can't turn around and attack the capital?

If they dare to attack, Cao Cao will dare to unite with other warlords to attack Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao currently holds the largest territory.

With Yuan Shu dead, Yuan Shao became the target of everyone's anger.

Having tasted the benefits of besieging Yuan Shu, how could the various warlords possibly miss out on such a good opportunity?

"By the way, where did Liu Bei go?"

Just then, Su Chen couldn't help but ask Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "As previously agreed, let him return to Xiaopei."

"What's wrong?"

Su Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Sikong, this person is a formidable enemy."

"Although we cannot kill him now."

"But he must absolutely not be allowed to see the Emperor."

"Absolutely, absolutely not."

Cao Cao was unaware, but Su Chen knew everything that followed.

Upon meeting Liu Bei, Liu Xie drafted an edict in a secret belt, ordering the emperor's brother-in-law Dong Cheng and others to join forces to eliminate Cao Cao.

Ultimately, it failed.

However, this imperial edict also gave Yuan Shao a reason to raise an army in Chongzhou.

Putting aside others, at least Liu Bei needs to be firmly pinned down in Xiaopei.

What makes Liu Bei so terrifying is that...

If you had just given him a little chance to develop.

He can grow to a level that will leave you speechless.

This old fellow, though he keeps fighting despite repeated defeats, is definitely a formidable figure.

However, given the current circumstances, it is indeed difficult to kill him directly.

If things go smoothly, and he can be kept under control in Xiaopei.

After the Battle of Guandu, we can kill him.

However—Su Chen didn't think Liu Bei would be such an honest person.

"Jingming is right."

""

"I will be careful."

Cao Cao waved his hand dismissively.

His only concern now is his formidable enemy, Yuan Shu.

Liu Bei is nothing more than a small fry now.

Despite his extraordinary appearance, Cao Cao didn't really take him seriously at the moment.

The future is promising, and Cao Cao, our formidable enemy today, is clearly distinguished.
