Three Kingdoms: The Great Wei’s Sage Strategist Mistakes Cao Cao for His Own Father

Li Xuan transmigrated to the Three Kingdoms period, straight into Wancheng. As luck would have it, he mistook Cao Cao, who was traveling incognito, for the bargain-bin father he had never met. Though he hadn’t seen him in over a decade and felt no attachment to him, Li Xuan still meant to pull his bargain-bin father out of there. The moment he spotted Cao Cao, he urged him to hurry. “Stop stuffing your face, Dad. Let’s go! Wancheng’s about to be hit by a disaster! When the city gates catch fire, the fish in the moat suffer too. We need to run!” Cao Cao’s face flushed red. He gritted his teeth, thinking about how to teach this foul-mouthed brat a lesson. But the more he listened, the more astonished he became. “Ten strengths and ten weaknesses? Yuan Shao is nothing but a paper tiger? Escorting the people across the river won’t overcome their reluctance to leave their homeland?” The curved-plow, potatoes, bright armor, divine-arm crossbows... Cao Cao was thrilled by the time he heard it all. This wasn’t some foul-mouthed brat. He was clearly the brilliant son Cao Cao had never met! Sun Quan: “What do you mean, ‘May you have a son like Sun Zhongmou’? Is Cao the Thief deliberately mocking me? He already has such a formidable son, and now he’s rubbing it in?” Zhou Yu: “Why was Xu born, when Liang was born too?” Liu Bei: “I wanted to restore the Han, but fate is on Cao’s side. Where did he find this son? Why couldn’t I find one too?” Cao Ang and Cao Pi were just as baffled. Since when did their father have an illegitimate son, and such a fierce one at that? Li Xuan: “Hey, hey, hey, it’s all a misunderstanding. I’m just an adopted son, and I have no ambition to rule the world. Don’t believe me? Then I’ll swear it on the Luo River!”
