Soon, Cao Cao woke up, surrounded by civil and military officials.

"The situation is difficult and you have all worked hard." Cao Cao's face was pale and he waved his hand for everyone to sit down.

"My lord, take care!" The ministers sat down one by one, with serious expressions, and gave advice one after another.

"I'm fine! I recently dreamed about General Dian Wei and Wen Ruo..."

The Battle of Yanzhou saw Dian Wei killed and Xun Yu's whereabouts unknown, severely damaging the foundation of Cao Wei. Now, only Yuzhou remains. How tragic!

Suo Chao, having pacified the north, marched south to Yu Province with overwhelming force. Yue Fei's army, Ran Min's army, Chen Tang's army, She Jian's army, and Yan Yan's army launched a joint attack, totaling a terrifying 120 million troops.

Yuzhou barely had 50 combat-ready soldiers. Even with numerous renowned generals and commanders, this was the only place where four battles could be fought, and the commanders could only struggle to cope.

Cao Cao was deeply moved by the current crisis. Facing the unpredictable Suo Chao, he suffered repeated defeats and couldn't help but feel that he was born at the wrong time.

"Life is unpredictable. In the past, we talked about heroes over wine and laughed at the likes of Liu Biao and Yuan Shu. Now, my situation is like a dog that has lost its home."

"Lord..."

Men don't shed tears easily, but only when they're heartbroken. Civil officials and military commanders covered their faces and wept, sobbing silently. The prospects for his grand ambitions were bleak, and his wife and children were trapped in the enemy camp. How difficult it was.

"My Lord, we might as well surrender!" Xin Pi explained the pros and cons of submitting to the North. Although some generals despised such talk of surrender, they were unable to offer a solution. They remained silent, their heads hanging.

"Hahaha...there is not a single man in Cao's camp!" A sudden male voice broke the silence of Cao's camp, and a mysterious man with a handsome face appeared quietly.

"Who are you? Get out of here immediately." The guards stood ready as if facing a formidable enemy, pointing their knives at the man.

Cao Cao was shocked when he heard such arrogant words. He rubbed his temples, stood up suddenly, and looked at the person outside the tent.

"Get out!"

"Yes!" The soldiers dispersed, and the mysterious man slowly walked into the camp.

The mysterious man was eight feet tall, with an otherworldly aura, like a god descending to earth. Cao Cao's eyes sparkled, and he bowed respectfully:

"Sir, why do you say that?"

"Yuzhou still has 50 combat-ready soldiers, and there are many capable and skilled fighters. But now you are willing to surrender. Is this the behavior of a real man?"

The mysterious man exudes firm belief and endless wisdom in his every move. He seems like a well-read scholar, but also has a bold and unrestrained side, showing his heroic spirit.

"Sir, do you have any advice for me?"

Cao Cao became even more respectful and quickly invited the mysterious man to take the seat of honor. The elegant man bowed slightly and took his seat at the guest of honor.

"Prime Minister Cao, the world is now divided into two. Suo Chao of the north controls over a dozen states, has millions of soldiers and is well-equipped. We cannot challenge him."

With Jizhou's ownership changing hands and a million-strong army invading from the north, Cao Cao becomes increasingly worried. His eyes dim, then, with a hint of hope, he asks the mysterious man for help.

"Sir, do you have any good plan to repel the enemy?"

Suo Chao's army of one million soldiers and generals marched south. The mysterious man took out a map of the military distribution and responded to each of Suo Chao's armies one by one.

"Prime Minister, please look."

Yuzhou borders the Huai River and Mangdang Mountain to the east, the Funiu Mountain and Xiao Mountain to the west, the Yellow River and Song Mountain to the north, and the Dabie Mountain and Song Mountain to the south. Several fortresses are naturally fortified, making them easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"Sir, I'm well aware of the terrain of Yuzhou. However, Suo Chao has no moral principles. He can deploy troops remotely and frequently raid our rear, making it impossible to defend against him."

According to reports from scouts, the armies of Chen Tang, Yan Yan, and Shejian marched south, with only a substitute who looked very similar to Suo Chao in command of the army. Suo Chao's elusive appearances have become the norm.

Over the years, Guo Jia has meticulously trained his secret guards, and even a small trick cannot escape the eyes and ears of Cao Cao.

"Don't worry about this matter. I already have a plan to defeat the enemy. Please come in, my dear teachers." The mysterious man suddenly turned sideways and saluted respectfully outside the tent.

Suddenly, outside the camp, the sky was filled with rosy clouds, and three old men with immortal looks came walking on the wind, approaching from far away with erratic steps, and in a blink of an eye they came to the side of the mysterious man.

"Old man, Huang Chengyan greets the Prime Minister."

"I, Yu Ji, pay my respects to the Prime Minister."

"I, Ge Xuan, pay my respects to the Prime Minister."

Cao Cao was also a man who had experienced great things. After the national treasure hunt, he recruited many talented people. But compared to the three people in front of him, they were like the bright moon against the candlelight, not even worth mentioning.

"Kong Ming, I pay my respects to my three mentors."

This time, in order to defeat the anomalies in this world, the three old men not only sent their favorite disciple Zhuge Liang, but also personally took action to reverse the unfavorable situation in the south.

"Oh my! Immortal Masters, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please take a seat."

Cao Cao didn't even bother putting on his shoes. He jumped from his couch and rushed to greet the elders. Ge Xuan and Yu Ji were already renowned. Their profound Taoist skills might even reveal a way to defeat the enemy.

"Prime Minister, the three of us have joined forces to block the void of Yuzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou. The villain Suo Chao can't activate space teleportation and summon an army out of thin air." Ge Xuan said solemnly and majestically, holding a whisk in his left hand.

"Are you serious?" Cao Cao rubbed his hands, half believing and half doubting.

"Of course, don't talk too much, we are here to help you defeat the enemy." Yu Ji on the side was a little unhappy and said in a cold voice.

Cao Cao confirmed the truth of Hua Tuo's words and felt refreshed. His illness had actually been cured by Hua Tuo, but his mental illness was difficult to cure.

Hua Tuo was taught medical skills by Suo Chao, especially the 36 Tiangang Soul-Returning Needles. His medical skills far exceeded the peak levels of other planes.

"Old Immortal, please forgive me for being so rude. Come on! Bring me some good food and wine. I need to have a long and detailed conversation with the old Immortals."

The three old men took their seats, and Cao Cao arranged for the generals to greet them one by one.

Yu Ji was very pleased with Cao Cao's hospitality and began to describe the battle plan to block the southern states. With the heretic Suo Chao dealt with, Cao Cao was confident he could win the battle.

"Old Immortal, can the northern void be blocked?" Cao Cao suddenly had an idea and asked a question that urgently needed verification.

Ge Xuan was neither sad nor happy, and immediately answered Cao Cao's doubts.

"No, the cost is too high. We can only implement blockade measures in cities that have been conquered by the Prime Minister. Please work hard to conquer the enemy city!"

Cao Cao confirmed again and again that Suo Chao was unable to use the supernatural means of Yanzhou and Jizhou to dispatch troops through the air, and he let out a long breath.

"Very good, with the same means, I, Cao Mengde, am no match for any enemy!"

Huang Chengyan shook his head, looked at his son-in-law Kong Ming, and then smiled silently.

"Prime Minister, Suo Chao is leading millions of troops to attack Yuzhou. 50 versus 120 million. Can your weapons crush Suo Chao?"

Cao Cao shifted his gaze, looking in the direction of the voice. It was the third old man. He didn't dare to neglect it, and immediately stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Master Huang, in terms of weapons, I am not as good as you! In terms of the number of soldiers, I am not as good as you! In terms of national strength, I am not as good as you. I still hope that the old gentleman will teach me."

The outcome of a war depends largely on national strength. Even if one possesses the natural defenses of Yuzhou, one can only temporarily resist the enemy and cannot hold out for long.

"Unite with Sun to fight against Suo. Only by working together can we defeat the great enemy in the north." Zhuge Liang's voice rang out.
