Chapter 694-Asking Cao Cao to Fight

Translator: ryangohsf

Editor: Nora

A meeting that spanned generations was unusually touching.

Luckily, Cao Cao was not a normal person and quickly calmed down. The way he looked at Ouyang Shuo became gentler and closer, not as cold as before.

That was enough to Ouyang Shuo.

"Why are you looking for me?" Cao Cao asked.

Ouyang Shuo bowed, “We would like to request the prime minister to not retreat the troops."

When Cao Cao heard this request, his eyes turned cold and the atmosphere froze. He spat out word by word, “Do you know what you're talking about?"

Red Cliff’s engulfment in flames was a sudden defeat at the most arrogant point of his life. The retreat was not glorious, so Cao Cao was naturally not happy when Ouyang Shuo mentioned it.

On the other hand, Jia Xu's eyes lit up.

"Prime minister, please hear me out!" Ouyang Shuo was not fazed. In terms of aura, specifically the aura of an overlord, Ouyang Shuo did not lose to Cao Cao. However, he purposely restrained it.

"Speak!"

"Your worry is undoubtedly because of the navy being crushed and losing control over the Changjiang and Han River. I brought a navy of 20 thousand that can help."

"Just 20 thousand?" Cao Cao mocked.

"Although 20 thousand is not much, their combat strength is special. I dare to say that no matter how strong the Sun Liu Alliance Army is, they cannot break through our defenses; we are not even on the same level."

"Absurd." Cao Cao was furious, he was growing a little impatient.

"I would not dare to lie in front of you, would you go take a look? After you see our navy, I'm pretty sure you'll believe me."

What you hear might be false, what you see would definitely be true.

The voyage squadron was the strongest squadron in the world today. Be it warships or equipment, compared to the Han Dynasty Navy, they were not even on the same level.

Without mentioning other aspects, just the cannons alone were enough to destroy Zhou Yu's navy.

Cao Cao's gloomy expression did not fade, but he decided to give Xiahou Ying some face and chose to compromise in the end, “Sure, if I'm not happy in the end, you will know the consequences."

"Please!"

Ouyang Shuo smiled and led the way.

Cao Cao was a great leader; naturally, he was not happy about such a defeat. Hence, although Ouyang Shuo's words seemed too good to be true, Cao Cao did not reject it.

Hence, a group of men walked out of the city.

When the Lord players saw this scene, many were envious.

"How amazing; he is even able to lead out a boss like Cao Cao!"

"That's right!"

"Stop sucking up to him. Even though he is strong, what can he do in such a situation? He still has to back off."

"That's right, if I knew this would happen, I would have chosen the Sun Liu Camp."

"Sigh, let's stop talking and try to find another historical person recruitment quest. If we can recruit a general, this trip would not be a waste."

The Lords in the Cao Cao Camp had lost all hope, so they turned their attention to the generals and strategists instead.

When Ouyang Shuo heard their words, he did not say anything and just passed by them.

……

After walking out of the city Lord's Manor, Cao Cao's eyes froze when he saw the three thousand Divine Martial Guards. He had spent his life on the battlefield, and his eyes were exceedingly vicious and clear, so he instantly noticed the difference of the Divine Martial Guards.

In comparison, even Xu Wei’s guards were not on the same level.

The person who developed such elite troops was definitely not simple.

When he saw Ouyang Shuo’s mount, Little Green, Cao Cao and the others were shocked once more. The ferocious and huge Little Green was simply unique and eye-catching.

In just a short while, Cao Cao had stopped underestimating him. He even started to look forward to the navy that he was going to see.

When Ouyang Shuo saw this, his heart settled.

Jiangling Crossing.

Zheng He and the voyage squadron had teleported onto the waters of the Han River. Such a weird matter unavoidably caused panic.

The river appeared extremely narrow to the turreted ships, and it only allowed three to four warships to line up side by side. In the squadron, the three special Man O' War type warships stood out.

On board these ships, more than ten English engineers stood on deck, talking about the Jiangling City not far away; this was a new and interesting experience to them.

The squadron spotted the arrival of the Divine Martial Guards on the horizon.

"It's the Monarch!" The soldiers were delighted.

The Divine Martial Capes of the guards were simply too eye-catching.

When Zheng He received the news, he immediately led all the generals to welcome them.

"Greetings, Monarch!"

With a Shua! everyone bowed in unison.

"Greetings, Monarch!"

Following which, every sailor and soldier on the warship bowed.

Hong! Hong! Hong!

Along with their voices, the cannons rang out.

Such a scene was too shocking.

Ouyang Shuo nodded his head, pleased, “Please rise!"

"Thank you, my Monarch!"

Such a scene truly shocked Cao Cao and the others.

Ouyang Shuo acted like he did not see Cao Cao’s expression. In terms of rank, he was actually higher than Cao Cao; after all, he was an actual duke.

To be called Monarch was something even Cao Cao could not dream of.

How could he have expected that such a normal-looking player would have such a high rank? Now, in front of the army, he was as stable as a mountain and had an indescribable aura.

Cao Cao needed to treat Ouyang Shuo seriously, but Cao Cao could not see through him. It was like he was covered in a layer of fog, mysterious but making people close to him.

"A young hero!" Cao Cao exclaimed.

Ouyang Shuo smiled but did not say anything. During the battle map, there were naturally battle map rules. Obviously, he did not think about usurping Cao Cao's position, “Prime minister, let's go take a look!"

When Cao Cao and the others saw the five-story high turreted ships and the giant Man O' War battleships, their mouths gaped open. Even the strongest navy troops in Sun Quan's army could not compare to the Mengchong Warship.

They were not even on the same level.

In their eyes, the bigger the warship, the stronger it was.

Hence, Cao Cao had now partially believed Ouyang Shuo’s words. However, Cao Cao was Cao Cao after all; he was a person filled with many doubts. If he did not personally witness the strength of the voyage squadron, he would not come to conclusions.

……

When onboard Dragon Head, one would be filled with many different emotions.

Although Cao Cao was an army user, before the Battle of Red Cliff, he had especially learned about the navy. No warship could shock him as much as Dragon Head did.

When he was on deck, Ouyang Shuo smiled and said, “Admiral Zheng He, demonstrate to the prime minister!"

"Yes, Monarch!"

Zheng He nodded and took care of the introduction work.

Cao Cao was a person who loved to learn, dragging Zheng He and asking a lot of questions. He was also someone familiar with the field, so every question he asked hit the spot and made Zheng He and the others look on in awe.

No matter what, the two were many dynasties apart.

Ouyang Shuo stood at the side, smiling but not saying anything. Suddenly, Ouyang Shuo gazed at Jia Xu, walking across and bowing, “Greetings mister!"

Jia Xu looked over. After witnessing Ouyang Shuo’s strength, how would someone as smart as Jia Xu use their status and position in front of him?

Ouyang Shuo smiled. Obviously, Jia Xu was wary toward him. His carefulness was not at a normal level. "I've long heard of mister's name. Seeing you is my fortune!"

"You're joking sir!"

Jia Xu's expression became gentler. No one could reject such words. Words of praise from someone like Ouyang Shuo were all the more different and tempting.

"Mister, do you know the difference between this place and the main map?" Ouyang Shuo continued to probe.

"I roughly know a little."

"I'm not being arrogant, but on the main map, I'm the best in the world. I have over a million troops, and I have many generals and officials under me. Baiqi, Han Xin, Huo Qubing, Xiao He, Fan Li, Wei Yang, and more; they are all in my territory." Ouyang Shuo introduced the situation of Shanhai City.

The more Jia Xu heard, the more shocked he felt.

His intuition told him that the player in front of him was not lying.

"Duke is a talent!" Jia Xu still did not budge.

However, this only made Ouyang Shuo more and more interested in him, so he continued to try and tempt, “My territory has many generals, but we lack a super strategist to help us."

"With your name, you would be able to recruit the strategist you want."

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, “So many thousand years, how many strategists could be considered top class?" As he spoke, he could not help but let out an aura like the world was under his feet, shocking Jia Xu.

Changing the topic, Ouyang Shuo said, “Mister, you are a talent. Out of all strategists, you are one of the best."

"Duke, thank you for the complement!"

"Mister really does not want to consider it?" Ouyang Shuo had no choice but to make it clearer.

"Duke, you're joking." Jia Xu avoided the topic.

Ouyang Shuo sighed, wanting to recruit historical people was truly difficult. Even with Ouyang Shuo's current high-grade terms, he still did not manage to convince Jia Xu.

The aura of the king in legends truly could not be trusted.

Ouyang Shuo did not give up, “After the battle map ends, mister can still decide. The doors of Shanhai City will forever be open to you. Even in the main map, this offer still stands."

After he said these words, Ouyang Shuo turned and left.

Looking at his back, Jia Xu felt unsettled.

……

In the simulation room, Zheng He started to display to Cao Cao the strength of the cannons.

Hong Long Long! A round of fire caused the imaginary warships on the river to sink. When Cao Cao witnessed this scene, his eyes widened; he had never seen such godly weapons.

"Good, good, very good!" Cao Cao laughed out.
