Three Kingdoms: I Start by Tricking Cao Cao into Fleeing

Xiao Yun transmigrates to the end of the Han dynasty and becomes a servant in Cao Cao's residence. In the middle of the night, he's still keeping vigil for Cao Song.

With nothing to do, Xiao Yun chats with Cao Song and shares his thoughts on Cao Cao's upcoming eastern campaign against Xu Province.

A burly, bearded man sneaks over to the corner to eavesdrop, then brings roast chicken and liquor to entertain Xiao Yun.

Thinking the man seems kind and knows how to treat a guest, Xiao Yun talks him into running away with him.

"Uncle, run away with me. Yan Province won't hold."

Xiao Yun had only meant to recruit a local uncle to serve as his guide.

Who would have thought...

A few days later, the bearded uncle shows up with a young man in tow and confronts Xiao Yun.

"Run!"

"Why have you stopped running, my good strategist?"
