Chapter 7: The Cao Army Finally Arrives

  As the saying goes, wine is a poison that pierces the intestines, and lust is a steel knife that scrapes the bones. From ancient times to the present, how many talented and handsome men have lost their great opportunities in life due to the confusion of wine and meat, wasting the precious youth of their lives? Some people know how to turn back from the wrong path, deeply hating and rejecting the things of wine and lust. Some people despise them not at all, still indulging in debauchery, ultimately failing because of these filthy things, ending up with a miserable and desolate fate.

  Obviously, Jun Yuqiong doesn't know what it means to wake up from a mistake, so today, he is doomed to be ruined.

  Guo Yuan brought Ma Niu over just as Chun Yuqiong was running around the big camp, pulling down his pants and urinating everywhere.

  Interestingly, he urinated and then didn't finish, sprinkling some in front of this tent, holding back and running to another tent with his pants down, dripping a few drops, holding back again, and then hurriedly looking for another tent to continue urinating...

  Guo Yuan stared blankly at Chun Yuqiong's joyful scene, and couldn't help but ask Yuan Shang: "Third Master, it's just a splash of urine, how can you make such a big deal out of it? General Chun Yu's face is really too thick..."

  Yuan Shang also stared blankly for a while, but ultimately couldn't bear it and ordered the guards to pin Chunyu Qiong to the ground.

  With a vicious face, he walked up to Chun Yuqiong and, with a leg raised in anger, kicked him in the buttocks. Gnashing his teeth, he said: "You're just a useless piece of crap! You think you can occupy this territory like a dog?"

  Jun Yuqiong was pressed to the ground, still with a playful smile, and said with a drunken tone: "Big nephew, you're not good at this, Uncle's move is called 'Rain and Dew are equally shared'... Hahaha!"

  At this time, Yuan Shang suddenly turned his head and shouted: "Where is Ma Chao?"

  Kuo Yen holds up a wine jug with both hands: "Horse urine is here."

  "Good!" Yuan Shang turned his head and pointed at Chunyu Qiong, shouting loudly: "Come on in!"

  "Agreed!"

  "Feed General Shun with wine... feed him urine!"

  "Promise!"

  A jar of horse urine is neither too much nor too little.

  It looks small but can hold a lot.

  Today's Chun Yuqiong drank a lot, whether it was wine or horse urine...

  After drinking, he was still laughing and joking, but the shameless drunkard's face suddenly turned pale, then tightly grasped his own throat, constantly retching, followed by big mouthfuls of vomiting, and instantly a large stain appeared on the sandy ground, extremely eye-catching.

  Under the gaze of disgust from the crowd, Chun Yuqiong patted his head and stood up, with a confused expression, his eyes revealing deep confusion, as if he was a newborn baby, ignorant and bewildered.

  After a while, Fang Jian saw Yuan Shang walking to Chun Yuqiong's side with a staggering gait and asked in a low voice: "General Chun, are you sober?"

  Jun Yuqiong raised his head and took a glance at Yuan Shang, then patted his forehead as if recalling some fragments from earlier. Before long, he seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly his entire forehead was covered in cold sweat, his ox-like eyes filled with fear and unease.

  "In response to Gongzi's words, the wine... woke him up! Xun Yuqiong couldn't care about his dizziness and hastily stood up to show his attitude."

  "Are you really awake?"

  "Absolutely awake!" Chunyu Qiong nodded heavily.

  Do you still want me to call you uncle?

  "The Third Master is joking, I wouldn't dare..." Chun Yuqiong started wiping his sweat.

  Do you want another drink?

  Jun Yuqiong looked at Yuan Shang with a nervous expression and asked: "Young master, are you referring to drinking wine or horse urine?"

  Yuan Shanghong's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sweet and harmless smile: "What do you think?"

  "Alcohol?" Sun Yu hesitated for a moment: "Wine?"

  "Horse urine!"

  "I won't drink anymore, I won't drink anymore..."

  Yuan Shang was filled with great suspicion in his heart, and wondered how a rustic simpleton like Chun Yuqiong could have been one of the eight Xiayuan school lieutenants in the capital back then, alongside Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. How much money did he spend to buy that official position?!

  It's no wonder that this useless Yuan Shao still wants to use him as a general and won't let Cao Cao finish him off!

  Yuan Shang gave him a fierce stare and said, "Follow me into the camp, I have something to say to you." After that, he turned around and walked towards the main camp of Wuchao, Xun Yu and other generals who were assisting him in defending Wuchao followed closely behind.

  Entering the main military tent, looking up, one sees that the entire ground is filled with wine jars, and the whole tent is filled with a strong smell of wine and meat.

  Wine and meat pass through the intestines, this is Xun Yuqiong's current decadent life.

  Yuan Shang felt extremely indignant, he himself had been running around all day with a sick body for the sake of Wu Chao's affairs, seeking help from his grandfather and grandmother, finding this one and that one, even secretly dispatching troops to rescue while carrying the blame of violating military orders, whereas the true defender of Wu Chao was getting drunk every night, eating till he was full then running out to urinate and draw circles on the ground, being a human just like them, how come I ended up so miserable, who did I provoke!

  Yuan Shang tapped the table lightly and turned to ask Xun Yu: "How many soldiers are currently available in Wuchao?"

  Jun Yuqiong's eyes went dull and she stared blankly at Yuan Shang, looking like the wine was about to take effect again.

  Junyu Qiong's deputy general, Sui Yuanjin, seeing the situation, hastily stood out to relieve him and said: "Third Master, inside Wuchao, there are 2,000 cavalry, 3,000 archers and crossbowmen, and 5,000 infantry, with a total of about 10,000 troops that can be used."

  Jun Yuqiong seemed to have caught his breath again, nodding with a belch: "Not bad, in the Wusuo, there are about 10,000 troops...hiccups... nearly 10,000... uh, 10,000."

  Yuan Shang let out a deep sigh, Cao Cao said that it's not certain whether he can make it through the next day or two. This big wine bag doesn't even know how many soldiers are under his command, no wonder in his past life he lost the Battle of Red Cliffs overnight. With this kind of ability, even if he had 10,000 more chances, it would still be a waste.

  It's probably hopeless for someone like Junyu Qiong, what to do? Rely on yourself then! Who made you end up with such a good-for-nothing.

  "My scouts have reported that in the past day or two, Cao's army seems to be showing signs of sending troops to launch a surprise attack on Ukou. I came here tonight, not for anything else, but because I'm worried about Ukou, so I brought my own troops over and want to discuss plans with you."

  Everyone in the account was shocked to hear the words, and Wu Chao's riding commander, Lü Weihuo, hastily stepped out of the class and said: "I don't know where the three gentlemen's scouts got this news from. Has the master been informed?"

  "Of course, the master knows, so he sent me over first to calm things down. The reinforcements will arrive in a few days." Yuan Shang opened his mouth and told a lie, which might stir up more trouble.

  Everyone who heard the words felt slightly relieved, thinking that it was indeed the case. The third young master is the most beloved son of the lord, if there was no special order, how could he run to Wusuo in the middle of the night for no reason?

  "I humbly ask the Third Master, since you have knowledge of Cao's army's true intentions and movements, how do you plan to defend Ucang?" Chunyu Qiong finally spoke up with a sentence that matched his identity, moving everyone present.

  Yuan Shang stroked his chin and said, "My intention is that while Cao's army has not yet taken action, we should divide our troops into three divisions. Leave one division in the main camp, and ambush one route each on the left and right mountains outside the main camp. Be prepared day and night, and dig pitfalls on the main road. If Cao's army comes over, we will attack them from three sides, attacking their head and tail simultaneously, throwing them into chaos. Hold out until the reinforcements from Father arrive, then we can launch a full-scale attack and defeat Cao's army."

  Wei Yuanjin nodded upon hearing this: "If Third Young Master has made such arrangements, then it is feasible. In that case, I will go prepare immediately..."

  Before he could finish speaking, a hurried and urgent footsteps came from outside the tent. Guo Yuan rushed into the main camp with a big sweat on his head, and hastily bowed to Yuan Shang: "Young master, something is wrong! The scout has come to report that there is an iron cavalry vanguard rushing towards Wuchao in the southeast direction. Can't see its general flag or military affiliation. If it's true as you guessed, maybe Cao Jun really came!"
