Three Kingdoms: the Search for a Saint Starts from Mistaking Cao Cao As His Father-in-law

Su Yi's prediction made Cao Cao's investment in Chen Deng as expected.

Cao Cao pacified Chen Deng, and promised on the spot that he would ask the emperor to issue an decree to make Chen Deng the prefect of Guangling.

Chen Deng showed great loyalty to Cao Cao, and solemnly stated that when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou in the future, his father and son of the Chen family would be the inner responders.

After the meeting, Chen Deng resigned.

Xun Yu just said with admiration: "Sikong really expects things like a god, and he expected that Chen Deng would come to submit and be our inner correspondent."

"I'm not that good. I figured out that Chen Deng came to vote for someone else."

Cao Cao squinted his beard and smiled, and his tone had a special meaning.

"Someone else?"

Xun Yu suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but ask: "Yu heard some rumors, Sikong recently got advice from a strange hermit. Could it be that Chen Deng's incident is also what the strange person said?"

Cao Cao laughed and said nothing.

"So there really is such a person!"

Xun Yu looked surprised and asked, "I don't know the name of this person?"

"The time has not come. When the time is right, I will let you know who he is."

Cao Cao was still reluctant to reveal it, for fear that Su Yi's name would be known overnight.

At that time, if he scared Su Yi away, he would instead lift a stone and smashed himself in the foot.

Xun Yu saw that Cao Cao was unwilling to speak clearly, and it was not easy to ask questions. He was full of suspicion and secretly guessed.

Cao Cao showed a murderous look on his face and sneered: "Yuan Shu is a traitor who dares to arrogate himself to be emperor. Next, you will act according to your plan and let Yuan Shu taste the taste of betrayal and separation!"

"promise!"

On the same day, an imperial decree came out from Xudu and went straight to Jiangdong.

At the same time, Chen Deng rushed back to Xiapi.

Chen's father and son persuaded Lu Bu not only to refuse to marry Yuan Shu, but also to publicly denounce Yuan Shu as a traitor.

May.

Yuan Shu was furious when he learned of Lu Bu's betrayal, and ordered Ji Ling to lead an army of [-] troops north to attack Xuzhou.

Not to be outdone, Lü Bu personally led his elite troops to the south, blocking Yuan Shu's army at the front line of Xuyi.

June.

Sun Ce accepted the title of the imperial court, issued an order to denounce Yuan Shu, and sent troops to expel Yuan Shu's county governor in Jiangdong.

In the same month, Sun Ce led the Jiangdong army to cross the river and head north along the Feishui River, approaching Shouchun.

In a few months, Yuan Shu was attacked from north and south by Lv Bu and Sun Ce, and everyone betrayed his relatives and left.

...

The eastern suburb of Xudu, Sujiazhuang.

In the courtyard, the aroma is permeating, and the fire is flickering.

Su Yi is with Cao Jie, eating hot pot and drinking small wine.

"Husband, does this concubine's venison hotpot still suit your husband's appetite?"

Cao Jieqiao had a smug look on her face, and she took a piece of freshly boiled venison for Su Yi.

Since Su Yi tasted hot pot for Cao Jie two months ago, his sweet wife became out of control and fell in love with eating hot pot ever since.

Moreover, she is not satisfied with the mutton, wild boar, venison, and deer meat, all of which are brought to the pot.

Su Yi had to admit that in terms of eating, his sweet wife was very talented.

"Well, this venison hot pot is the first time I eat it. It has a different flavor."

Su Yi clicked his tongue in admiration, dipped in the sauce, swallowed it in one bite, and the aftertaste was endless.

Upon receiving Su Yi's compliment, Cao Jie looked happy, and hurriedly poured another glass of wine for him.

"Husband, I heard that Yuan Shu and Lv Bu and Sun Ce were in an unbreakable fight. It seems that you are right. Then Cao Sikong will be able to destroy Yuan Shu without a single soldier."

Cao Jie looked at his husband with admiration.

"Sun Ce and Lu Bu are not stupid. They will not try their best to destroy Yuan Shu. At most, they will severely damage Yuan Shu. If Cao Mengde wants to destroy Yuan Shu quickly, I am afraid that he will have to end the battle himself."

Su Yi ate meat, drank wine, and said casually.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Cao Jie added venison for him, and asked casually, "Then according to your husband's opinion, how should Cao Sikong use his troops to quickly destroy Yuan Shu?"

"Yuan Shu's current troops and horses are all used against Lü Bu and Sun Ce, but he is neglectful of Cao Mengde."

"If I were that Cao Cao, I would lead a light army along the Yingshui River and rush forward, and I would be able to break down Xia Cai by surprise."

"As soon as Xia Cai City is broken, the Shouchun gate will be lost, and the army will be able to calmly cross the Huai River and enter the siege of Shouchun."

"Yuan Shu has lost all his people in Shouchun. Shouchun City has less than [-] troops. As long as he uses his troops properly, he will be defeated within half a month!"
