Cao Cao was terrified when he saw the battle report, a completely different kind of shock from Liu Bei's surprise. The news had scared him witless, and he immediately halted the original plan to attack Mount Tai. Without understanding how Chen Xi had captured more than a million Yellow Turbans within a month, Cao Cao had no intention of setting his sights on Mount Tai, for it was far too dangerous.
Upon reading the intelligence, Liu Ye was left speechless. Didn't this guy say his military strategy skills were subpar? Was this the performance of someone lacking? If he was subpar, did the rest even stand a chance?
