Chapter 8 - Wrongly Kill Three Thousand
Original by Bro Got a Gun, Translated by James
Cao Cao was indeed a formidable person, even when Lu Bu’s escape reached his ears, he still kept a straight face and said laughing “Everyone drink, drink Let’s cal Xian and Wei Xu!”
When the boss was acting like this, then the subordinates could only be beae in the drinking and eating
“Reporting!” Anotherto Pri for attendance!”
“Miaocai?” Cao Cao did not expect that Wasn’t Xiahou Yuan was responsible for the cleanup of the remnants of the Lu Bu soldiers in the city? Why would he come at this time?
[TL: Miaocai is Xiahou Yuan’s courtesy name]
Before Cao Cao could declare Xiahou Yuan’s entrance, he already rushed in
“Mende, Mende!” A worrisome Xiahou Yuan walked in hastily In a panic, he called out to Cao Cao using his courtesy name
[TL: as opposed to his title, the Prime Minister]
“Miaocai, what happened?!” Rarely have Cao Cao seen Xiahou Yuan in such a panic His composure was definite even when he helped Cao Cao shoulder the blaone!” Anxiety ca out of Xiahou Yuan’s mouth
“Miaoren?!” Cao Cao remembered This Miaoren was the courtesy name of Xiahou Yuan’s nephew, Xiahou De
“What happened?!” Cao Cao inquired
“Noon after Xiapi’s East Gate got broken,the re to the barracks at dusk However, he is nowhere to be seen!”
“Eh!” Cao Cao understood Xiahou Yuan was currently an over concerned elder There exists neither day nor night in tiht will be on how to survive and kill more enemies, hoould one possibly consider about tih, all those that remain are the remnant soldiers of Lu Bu’s army - simply unable to counterattack Xiahou De was, after all, a thousandable to enter the city e wasn’t sieneral) as thousand eneral because it eneral; 牙将 is a position during the ancient time that basically denotes the person to be a lesser, lower rank, general/officer]
“Miaocai, you’re overthinking Even Xiapi’s largest tiger Lu Bu fled, say, do you still think we’ll have a situation on our hand?! The Lu Bu army numbered seventy thousand Situated on the four walls were no less than fifty thousand Our e have already forced these fifty thousand troops to desert the city There are but some ten thousand re Province Soldiers that Miaoren has, nothing could possibly happen! Maybe he’s trying to attain more accomplishments to impress you, Miaocai!” Cao Cao consoled Xiahou Yuan This Miaocai, really, to be this overly concerned, he was treating his nephew even better than his children!
During the year of the great drought, in order to help his dead younger brother’s daughter survive, he cut off his son’s rations And even now, his two sons are already adults! Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba are already of age to join thehis two sons with his
“But Mende!” Xiahou Yuan still wanted to say so At thisto Pri return to ca Didn’t he just arrive?!” Cao Cao patted Xiahou Yuan’s shoulder If not for these old brothers of his, Cao Cao wouldn’t be where he is now
“Well, I guess I was overly worried!” Hearing the notification froer, Xiahou Yuan should have relaxed However, he was still uncoeneral Xiahou De to return to caether to see how ed to attain!” The Xiahou clan and the Cao clan are of one fainal name was Xiahou Cao He was adopted to the Cao clan, thus declaring himself to be of the Xiahou clan was correct too
[TL: Cao Cao’s father was the adopted son of Cao Teng, one of the favorite eunuch of Einal clan was the Xiahou clan Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan was Cao Cao’s cousins]
“Corabbed Xiahou Miaocai as he said that and walked out of the White Gate Tower doard the barracks
“Come coer club!” These Cao subordinates cannot not give Cao Cao face, they also wanted to get to know of this Xiahou clan’s little general Even Chen Gong who did not want to go was pulled forward by the crowd
[TL: giving face in chinesethe person]

Underneath Xiapi, a group of soldiers waving the banners of Xiahou De was sole, are you certain that this is going to work?!” A soldier wearing ordinary Cao ar a spear whispered to another soldier
Surrounding them from all sides was Cao army If they mess up, they likely will be annihilated
“Don’t worry! Even if we can’t get our revenge, can’t kill the two traitors Wei Xu and Song Xian, but to break out froht, these two soldiers are Liu Mang and Lu Bu who have taken off their ar’s palht of ten meters and a thickness of seven meters, this was the city defense of Xiapi!
Back during the day it still belonged to Boss Lu, but now Boss Cao had taken over it
If it wasn’t for Guo Jia’s tactics of redirecting the waters of Yi and Si rivers to flood Xiapi, perhaps Boss Lu really could defend against Boss Cao’s siege
Alas, there exists no such thing as ‘if’ in this world
Currently what they are about to do is to break out of this thousand year old ancient city
“Revenge!” Lu Bu held his head high looking at the tall building in front of hi that indicates Xiapi, the place that almost cost hieneral Xiahou De is perer with a loud voice shouted on the city gate
“By the order of the Prieneral Xiahou De is permitted to return to cah the banners
“kakakakaka!” The gates of Xiapi slowly opened
The expressions of Liu Mang and Lu Bu gradually got hters was heard fro and Lu Bu to tighten their hearts
“Miaocai oh Miaocai, didn’t I say you’re overly concerned? Look at how valiant and forer cub is!”
“Cao Cao, this is Cao Cao’s voice!” Lu Bu had dealt with Cao Cao before - in Dongzhou’s , in the Hulao Pass, and a couple o when Cao Cao asked him to surrender! Thus, Lu Bu was familiar with Cao Cao’s voice
“Prime Minister need not praise hi tohis nephew’s banner and the standing arradually calmed down He even called Cao Cao by his title
“An unpolished jade is precisely one that requires guidance, ha ha! Co cleaned up the Lu Bu ar Cao Cao brought with hienerals and proceed to walk down the city gate tower and toward the ca placed his hand on Lu Bu’s Lu Bu was currently tree In particular, he was in rage because of a general behind Cao Cao! Liu Mang had alreadyXian, thus the only other person who couldwas very scared that Boss Lu would just rush out screa, prepare to die!’ and then they all end up being dooed to restrain himself
Lu Bu already had his hand on his spear Once Boss Cao walked down the city gate tower, he’ll immediately launch a surprise attack This way, not only Cao Cao will be out of luck, many of his retainers could be killed too
Cao Cao was soon to walk down the tower… the eneration was soon to er
[TL: turtledove is a bird that is noted for the apparent affection shown for its mate]
Suddenly, a sound of notification was heard and ato Pri Xian rushed toward Lu Bu’s mansion to capture his family When they arrived, Lu Bu’s mansion have already been deserted!”
“What?!” Cao Cao really got angry this ti, but if his family was captured then there still existed a way to suppress that tiger; but now, that method too is lost Not totist the escapees
“What a bunch of useless i Old Cao did not say He did want to hurt Hou Cheng and the other surrendered generals’ feelings because of this
“Where are Wei Xu and Song Xian?!” Cao Cao said dully His hands was stroking the hilt of his sword attached to his waist Those fans of Cao Cao’s suspicion proble their surrender? Are they giving up Xiapi in exchange for Lu Bu’s escape?! After all, because of Guo Jia’s tactics, Xiapi was already a dead city To capture it was only aXian are currently still on the road rushi+ng here!”
Old Cao’s facial expression becaot that he should be receiving Xiahou De and came to a complete stop on the tower stairs In this er ran over
“Reporting! Reporting to Prience froeneral Xiahou De in the western part of the city that general Xiahou De is currently being held captive by the Lu Bu army General Xiahou Dun wishes that Prieneral Xiahou De!”
“What? Miaoren was captured?!” Xiahou Yuan was the first to rushed toward the front He grabbed the er and shouted loudly His voice so loud that even Liu Mang and Lu Bu heard it clearly
If Xiahou De was to be captured, then who exactly are these Xiahou De soldiers down there?
“Not good!” Cao Cao was alar was also alary - the dispersed soldiers of Xiahou De Although Xiapi was large, there still exists a chance of the soldiers running back to camp when they nu’s plan to use the banners of Xiahou De was certainly seeking death
