Wei Xiaobao's Three Kingdoms Adventure

Chapter 90 Going crazy with alcohol
Wei Xiaobao arrived at the foot of Runan City and looked up to see two corpses hanging on the city wall. After careful identification, he found that one of them was Liu Pi.

Dian Wei rushed over and said, "Sir, the lord is angry that Liu Pi had kidnapped you and has ordered a massacre in the city."

Wei Xiaobao was in a complicated mood. He nodded and said, "I'll wait outside the city. Go and inform your master."

Watching Dian Wei leave, Wei Xiaobao felt sad: "Cao Cao massacred the city just to encourage his soldiers to plunder property to boost morale, and also to establish his authority over other cities that wanted to resist. But I always feel that Liu Pi died because of me. I hope Liu Pi won't report me to the King of Hell."

Wei Xiaobao pointed at the body of another person and asked Xu Zhu, "Do you know who that person is?"

Xu Zhu said, "Sir, that is Huang Shao, the commander of the Yellow Turban Army in Runan. I heard he has always wanted to defect to Yuan Shu."

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "In this chaotic era, whoever has the most powerful troops has the final say. Even if you join Yuan Shu, you won't end up well. People like Xu Zhu, who follow a powerful lord like Cao Cao, at least don't have to worry about being hung on the city walls every day. Although I know that my eldest brother later went to Jingzhou, if Cao Cao really wants to attack Xia Pi now, they will definitely not be able to hold it. What if I accidentally kill my eldest brother and his men? Wouldn't that make me a sinner? Yes, a sinner for all eternity."

Dian Wei rode out of the city alone, dismounted, and said, "Sir, our lord has led his men to Shouchun in search of you. All the food and fodder in the city has been transported. Should we pursue our lord or return to Chenliu first?"

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "If a fight breaks out with Yuan Shu and I show my face, it will be inconvenient for me to go to Shouchun to steal the jade seal again."

Wei Xiaobao said, "Go and deliver the letter to your master. I will go back to Chenliu to wait for him."

Dian Wei arranged scouts to chase Cheng Yu, who was transporting grain and grass in front, and he himself went to chase Cao Cao.

Not long after, Wei Xiaobao met Cheng Yu who was waiting for them. The two teams joined forces and returned to Chenliu with the food and supplies.

When Cao Cao met Dian Wei, he not only learned that Wei Xiaobao was safe and sound, but also heard that Wei Xiaobao had helped him subdue Xu Zhu. Hearing that Dian Wei and Xu Zhu had fought three rounds from noon to dusk without a clear winner, he could not wait to meet Wei Xiaobao.

Cao Cao rushed back day and night, and the people he brought with him were all elite cavalry, and he arrived in Chenliu before Wei Xiaobao.

When Wei Xiaobao and others arrived outside Chenliu City, Cao Cao was already waiting at the city gate.

Seeing Wei Xiaobao appear, Cao Cao urged his horse to greet him, dismounted, knelt on one knee, and said, "I underestimated the enemy and was overconfident, putting you in danger. You not only saved the day but also gave me a new and powerful general. I am truly ashamed of myself."

Wei Xiaobao had been thinking about how to mock Cao Cao the whole way, but when he saw him kneeling in front of a group of generals and soldiers to admit his fault, his anger had subsided. He deliberately put on airs and said, "How could I care about such a small matter? Forget it."

Cao Cao continued, "I thought that with the support of the generals, even if Huang Shao and Liu Pi refused to surrender, they would not harbor any ill intentions towards you. I didn't expect Huang Shao to surrender to Yuan Shu, and Liu Pi to receive a reward from Lü Bu. These two, each with their own ulterior motives, brought disaster upon you. I have avenged your anger by having them hanged alive on the walls of Runan City. I have ordered them to be displayed for a hundred days. Let us see who dares to harm you again."

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, "Don't use me as a pretext. You're just killing chickens to show Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, letting them know that this is the fate of those who want to join you. Do you think I'll remember your kindness?"

Wei Xiaobao saw Guo Jia winking at him, so he dismounted and walked over to Cao Cao, helped him up, and said, "You didn't know that Lu Bu would send someone to persuade Liu Pi to surrender. This is really not your fault."

Wei Xiaobao pointed at Xu Zhu behind him and said, "This is Xu Zhu."

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhu knelt and bowed to Cao Cao, saying, "I am Xu Zhongkang of Qiao County, paying my respects to you, Lord Cao." Cao Cao laughed heartily, quickly supporting Xu Zhu's elbows and saying, "I've heard Dian Wei say that, but I didn't expect Zhongkang to be even more imposing than I imagined."

This time, Cao Cao not only captured a large amount of food and grass, but also gained the surrender of Xu Zhu and his clan. He was very happy and held a banquet to reward the three armies that night.

Wei Xiaobao, the number one contributor, was constantly complimented throughout the entire banquet. He was already completely drunk from the wine and praise.

After the banquet, Guo Jia sent Wei Xiaobao back alone and made an exception to go into the mansion with him.

Wei Xiaobao, tipsy, pointed at Shuang'er and the others and introduced them to Guo Jia: "Come, come, let me tell you! This is my good wife Shuang'er! This is my beautiful wife Diao Chan! This one is now called Cai Yan, Cai Wenji, but she is actually my concubine Mu Jianping. You know I'm from the future, and so are my good wife and concubines. Only my beautiful wife Diao Chan is from your Han Dynasty."

When Shuang'er and others heard what Wei Xiaobao said, their faces turned pale.

Wei Xiaobao pointed at Guo Jia and said, "This is Guo Jia, the man who arranged your accommodation and food. Let me tell you, this guy is very capable. He saw right away that I'm not from the Han Dynasty. Besides you guys, he's the only one who knows my identity."

Shuang'er quickly helped Wei Xiaobao sit down, wiping the sweat from his forehead while saying, "Xiaobao, you are drunk."

Wei Xiaobao said, "I'm not drunk! I can only get drunk if I drink with my eldest brother Zhao Yun, my second brother, and my third brother. How can I get drunk if I drink with Cao Cao?"

Guo Jia said, "Sir, you are indeed drunk. You cannot say this again."

Wei Xiaobao cursed, "I'm not afraid of Cao Cao. I'm the Vice Minister of the Imperial Guards of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Commander-in-Chief of the Plain Yellow Banner of the Cavalry Battalion, the man who was granted the yellow jacket, the title of Baturu, and the First Class Viscount Wei Xiaobao."

Diao Chan had already brought the hangover soup and coaxed Wei Xiaobao to drink it: "Yes, yes, Xiaobao is the most powerful, he is not afraid of anyone."

Wei Xiaobao cried out, "I, Wei Xiaobao, am not that great. I'm stuck here and can't do anything. Xiao Xuanzi is fighting Wu Sangui, and I can't help him at all. Moreover, I have to help Cao Cao attack my elder brother's Xuzhou."

After saying this, Wei Xiaobao hugged Diao Chan and cried.

Wei Xiaobao cried louder and louder: "When I first came here, I was surrounded by bad people, and everyone wanted to harm me. Tao Qian and Mi Zhu sent people to send me to Jizhou, but in fact they were just keeping an eye on me. Zhang Liang asked me to kill Lu Zhi, and Lu Zhi asked me to persuade Zhang Jue to surrender. Dong Zhuo asked me to spy on the emperor, and Wang Yun asked me to kill Dong Zhuo. No one thought that if I failed, I would be beheaded. Now I have become Cao Cao's number one contributor, and everyone around me is good. They call me sir on the left and on the right. But I don't want all this, I just want to go home. I miss my mother, Xiao Xuanzi, my master and my female master."

Guo Jia felt bad: "Although he is cunning and scheming, he is just a child who has left home and cannot return."

Shuang'er and the other two felt sorry for Wei Xiaobao and let him get drunk and go crazy.

Guo Jia said, "Sir, you are in great trouble now, why are you still crying?"

This sentence not only scared Shuang'er and the other two women, but also woke up the drunk Wei Xiaobao.
