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

"Wenhe, what do you think?"

Cao Cao remained silent, but turned to look at Jia Xu, who had been huddled in the corner without uttering a word.

Jia Xu's expression clearly showed surprise.

When he first entered Cao Cao's camp, he never expected that Cao Cao would ask for his opinion on such a big matter as Xuzhou.

But now that he is a strategist in Cao Cao's camp, he naturally has to offer advice and strategies.

After a moment's thought, Jia Xu spoke:

"In my opinion, the allied forces of Yuan Shu and Lü Bu are not actually that terrible."

"Although Yuan Shu had the most troops, Lü Bu also occupied Xuzhou."

"But Lü Bu was arrogant by nature, brave but reckless, and he was not popular with the people of Xuzhou."

"But Yuan Shu is ultimately a foolish and incompetent man. The alliance between these two is probably not so simple."

Upon hearing this, Guo Jia, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement:

"Mr. Wenhe is right; that's what I initially thought too."

"Moreover, there must be something fishy about the fact that these two joined forces; it's absolutely impossible that it was all for the sake of Liu Bei alone."

However, at that moment, Cheng Yu spoke up:

"Minister Sikong, I disagree."

"Lü Bu and Yuan Shu each commanded a considerable number of troops."

"If we allow them to unite, we will be unable to send troops to Xuzhou."

After listening to the discussion, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:

"What you all say makes sense, but we should not act rashly on this matter."

"Let's continue to observe the situation in Xuzhou."

Cao Cao thought about it and ultimately decided to believe Su Chen.

Although he was still unsure about Su Chen's identity.

But one thing is certain.

Even if Su Chen couldn't predict the future, his ability to stockpile food for a rainy day was truly remarkable.

Therefore, his words are quite valuable.

In addition, what Guo Jia and Jia Xu said today makes sense.

How could Yuan Shu and Lü Bu possibly join forces for Liu Bei?

Even though Cao Cao had high hopes for Liu Bei, at that time Liu Bei only possessed a small Pei.

It will never amount to anything.

After a brief discussion, Cao Cao ordered everyone to disperse.

"Master Sikong, this Jia Xu is truly remarkable."

"Upon entering the army, I received the first question from the Commander-in-Chief."

"That's how you answered so incisively."

"That's incredible!"

Cao Chun couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao chuckled:

"Then you are underestimating Jia Wenhe far too much."

"This person is called a 'poisonous strategist,' do you think that's just flattery?"

Cao Chun didn't know, but Cao Cao knew Jia Xu very well.

During the campaign against Dong Zhuo, he had many dealings with Jia Xu and his associates.

If it weren't for Jia Xu's advice, Chang'an wouldn't have fallen into such chaos.

People like Li Jue and Guo Si could be ordered around by him.

This person's abilities are self-evident!

However, Cao Cao did not think Cao Chun was right this time.

Because someone had already told him this before Jia Xu.

That was Su Chen.

"Lord Sikong, we cannot send troops now."

"So... are we just going to stay in Yanzhou like this?"

Cao Chun said with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

He couldn't wait to lead his troops to attack Xuzhou right now.

But he also knew that the best course of action for now was to remain inactive.

However, not having any battles to fight was too cruel for Cao Chun, a general.

The southern advance to Wancheng was already the limit; if the army were to advance further into enemy territory, the situation in the north would be difficult to stabilize.

Unfortunately, the situation in the north remains unresolved.

How can this be good?

Cao Cao stroked his beard and laughed:

"What? Are you and I just afraid of being idle?"

Cao Chun immediately said with a bitter expression:

"Well... we can't train troops every day, can we?"

Cao Cao immediately laughed and said:

"well!"

"Then I'll give you a task, and you'd better do it properly."

Upon hearing this, Cao Chun's eyes lit up:

"Speak, Master Sikong!"

"Even if it means going through fire and water, I will not hesitate!"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said:

"Zihe, you are one of my most capable subordinates."

How could I let you go through fire and water?

"It's not that difficult."

"Go to Xudu City and find a house for Mr. Su."

Cao Cao intended to let Su Chen stay at his residence for a couple more days.

Spend some time with Qinghe and the other person to see how their relationship develops.

But this was only the beginning of his military career.

On the official documents, one could see that many officials had expressed their dissatisfaction with this.

Su Chen is currently just a junior clerk who has just joined Cao Cao's camp.

How could I possibly receive such an honor?

After much deliberation, Cao Cao decided to find Su Chen a place to stay first.

As for the Sikong Mansion, we can come during the day.

Upon hearing this, the flame that had been flickering in Cao Chun's eyes was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water:

"what?"

"Minister Sikong, this... this task could be easily done by just two armored soldiers, couldn't it?"

"Why do you want me to go?"

Cao Chun was almost in tears.

He was, after all, a general, and the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Right now, Cao Cao actually wants him to find a house for Su Chen?

Who can he complain to?

Cao Anmin, who was standing to the side, immediately suppressed his laughter and said:

"Zihe, you don't understand."

"Do you know how important Mr. Su is?"

Cao Chun frowned slightly:

"I know that."

Cao Anmin immediately said with a serious expression:

"You know the situation in Xuchang. If you just find a place to stay anywhere..."

"If others see this, wouldn't they think that Sikong has been disrespectful to Mr. Su?"

"Moreover, Mr. Su is also a promising candidate to become the son-in-law of the Minister of Works."

Cao Chun was puzzled:

"What does this have to do with the fact that I have to go?"

He was completely baffled.

Why do these two talk like they're solving a riddle?

Cao Anmin sighed:

"Think about it, Mr. Su is the prospective son-in-law of the Sikong family."

"From now on, you will also be a member of the Cao family."

"Is it safe for you to send someone else?"

"Only if someone from my Cao family personally selects them will the Minister feel at ease."

"But Sikong is currently very busy. How can you let him handle such a small matter personally?"

Cao Chun was stunned:

"That can't be it..."

Cao Cao, standing to the side, looked at the somewhat simple-minded Cao Chun, who was completely taken aback by Cao Anmin's deception.

I was suddenly at a loss for words, both laughing and crying.

Cao Anmin continued:

"In that case, this important task can only be entrusted to you."

"We must find Mr. Su a good place to stay."

"Moreover, it should not be far from the Sikong Mansion."

Cao Chun frowned slightly, pondering Cao Anmin's words:

"There's some truth to that..."

"But can't you also do something like this to reassure the people?!"

"Minister Sikong, I... I still need to train the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Such an important matter should be entrusted to Anmin!"

Cao Cao immediately smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Alright, Zihe, you don't need to refuse anymore."

"The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry needs rest and recuperation at the moment."

"The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, so we need to select new ones."

"It's not too late to start training after the selection is complete."

"You should first choose a good place for Jingming to stay."

"Try to get as close as possible to the Minister of Works' residence; this matter must be handled with utmost care!"

"Yes..."

Cao Chun was on the verge of tears, and nodded bitterly.
