Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the beginning of the 16th year of Jian'an.

Over the past six months, Liu Chan has been studying the knowledge taught by Xu Shu, his main time is to study "Meng De's New Book".

Liu Chan has always thought that "Meng De's New Book" is the same as "Sun Tzu's Art of War", with only thirteen chapters, but in fact, there are fourteen chapters of "Meng De's New Book" given to Liu Chan, of which thirteen chapters are military strategy, and the last chapter is political strategy.

Cao Cao is worthy of being a famous military strategist. Even Xu Shu had to admire his "New Book of Meng De" and Xu Shu even felt that in a sense, the practicality of "New Book of Meng De" was far from "The Art of War" in Sun Tzu.

"Meng De's New Book" was summarized by Cao Cao based on his years of experience. Compared with "Sun Tzu's Art of War", it pays more attention to practicality. The thirteen chapters of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" focus more on theory, while "Meng De's New Book" focus more on application.

Liu Chan's progress also surprised Cao Cao and Xu Shu. When Xu Shu taught Liu Chan, Liu Chan's ability to accept was not as good as a four-year-old child. Every time Cao Cao came to take the Liu Chan exam, Liu Chan always answered questions smoothly, sometimes even better than Cao Pi and Cao Zhang's answers!

After all, Liu Chan came from later generations. After more than a thousand years, Liu Chan's battle examples in his mind were much more than Cao Cao and Xu Shu knew. However, Liu Chan had only known about the war strategy. Xu Shu and Cao Cao happened to be handed over to Liu Chan how to use it. For example, Liu Chan is guarding a treasure house and has the key to the treasure house in his hand, but he can't find the lock. Now, someone has guided Liu Chan to find the lock, and all he lacks is to open the door to the treasure house.

While learning military strategies, Liu Chan did not forget to practice martial arts. Liu Chan did not forget his memory and understanding of martial arts in his previous life, so Liu Chan did not need to practice external skills and moves. Now Liu Chan only needs to practice internal skills to the original level to restore his martial arts.

...

In the 16th year of Jian'an, the Spring Festival had just passed, and most people had just recovered from the joy of the Spring Festival, but at this time there was a tense atmosphere in Xudu.

Finally, Liu Chan found out from Xu Shu that Ma Teng was coming!

Ma Teng came to Xudu with five thousand men and set up a village twenty miles outside Xudu City.

Things were as Liu Chan knew, Ma Teng was eventually killed by Cao Cao, and it seemed that Ma Chao was about to be called!

Sure enough, in June of the 16th year of Jian'an, Ma Chao and Han Sui had a total of 200,000 troops to Chang'an. Cao Cao temporarily pieced together 10,000 troops and ordered Cao Hong and Xu Huang to lead the team to Chang'an to support Chang'an prefect Zhong Yao, and ordered him to hold Chang'an for 30 days.

After all, Ma Chao had 200,000 people, and there were 100,000 vanguard troops led by Ma Chao alone. It would take some time for Cao Cao to assemble the troops, so Cao Cao urgently needed this month as a buffer.

In the room, Xu Shu drew a sketch near Chang'an, pointed to the location of Chang'an, and asked, "Young Master, what do you think of the battle in Chang'an?"

Liu Chan knew that Xu Shu was taking the exam, so he looked carefully at the map and answered: "Now Ma Chao came with the pain of losing his father, all with his sharpness. If Cao Hong and Xu Huang could not hold on, Ma Chao would not be able to break through Chang'an. When Cao Cao's support army arrived in Chang'an, Ma Chao would not attack Chang'an for a long time and lose his sharpness, he would definitely lose!"

Xu Shu nodded. Liu Chan’s analysis made sense. He had indeed not been in vain for his teaching these days.

Then Xu Shu asked again: "If Cao Hong and Xu Huang did not defend Chang'an, what should they do?"

"If Chang'an is lost, Ma Chao's army's morale will inevitably be greatly boosted and its spirit is in full force. At this time, even if Cao Cao's army comes, he should not confront Ma Chao head-on. He should not stick to it. Only when Ma Chao's spirit gradually loses can he compete with Ma Chao!" Liu Chan talked slowly.

This time, Xu Shu's face was full of shock. Even if he analyzed it himself, it would be so!

Immediately afterwards, Xu Shu asked again: "Who do you think will win between the Prime Minister and Ma Chao?"

"Cao Cao will win!"

“Why?”

"The biggest weakness of Ma Chao's army is that its composition is too complicated. It has the former former subordinates of Ma Teng, the eight troops of Han Sui, and the Qiang soldiers. Are there any decent strategists in Ma Chao's army? If the disagreement strategy is used to make Ma Chao's army kill each other, Ma Chao's army will defeat him without attacking!"

Hearing this, Xu Shu was full of surprise and his eyes widened. Today, Xu Shu finally knew what a genius is! Originally, Xu Shu thought Cao Cao's sons were excellent enough, but unexpectedly, Liu Bei gave birth to such a genius.

Indeed, when Cao Cao arrived near Chang'an, not only Chang'an, but also Tongguan was lost. Cao Cao even fought with Ma Chao head-on, but Cao Cao was defeated, and his army was abandoned. Cao Cao even cut off his beard and robe, and he was even more miserable than Chibi.

Taking advantage of one's mistakes and becoming wise is the characteristic of Cao Cao. Cao Cao is a very good at summarizing. After every battle, Cao Cao will sum up regardless of victory or defeat. So Cao Cao quickly discovered the weakness of Ma Chao's army. In September of the 16th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao used a divisive strategy to distract Ma Chao and Han Sui. Ma Chao fell into the trap and suspicious of Han Sui, which eventually led to a great defeat. Ma Chao retreated to Xiliang.

...

Cao Cao returned to Xudu in November of the 16th year of Jian'an. At this time, Cao Cao's cut-off beard had long been back.

Jia Xu came to Cao Cao and said, "Lord, news has just been heard from Jingzhou that Liu Bei's newly married Mrs. Sun is happy!"

"Oh?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes: "Send someone to investigate in detail immediately. Be sure to check it clearly as soon as possible. Sun Shangxiang gave birth to a man or a woman!"

"As for your order!" Jia Xu nodded and retreated.

...

Although Sun Shangxiang's pregnancy was not big or small, this incident soon spread throughout Xudu.

When Liu Chan heard the news, his first reaction was whether he had heard it wrong!

According to the history that Liu Chan knew, Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang had no descendants, but now, Sun Shangxiang is actually pregnant!

All in a mess! Could it be that my arrival changed history?

Of course, Liu Chan didn't know that it was because Liu Chan was kidnapped that Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang had children. Behind this child, there was the shadow of Zhuge Liang.

Liu Bei was nearly fifty years old and got the son of Liu Chan. Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bei had very few descendants! Especially after Liu Chan was kidnapped, Liu Bei lost his heirs in his huge foundation, so Zhuge Liang worked hard to promote the marriage between Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang.

Liu Bei himself knew that he was not young anymore, and he might not be able to give birth to a child in a few years! No one inherited such a large foundation, which is indeed a very big hidden danger. So Liu Bei worked harder since he married Sun Shangxiang, and finally made Sun Shangxiang pregnant!

At this time, the world's eyes were all focused on Jingzhou, and everyone was very concerned that the child in Sun Shangxiang's belly was a man or a woman!
