Romance of the Three Kingdoms

The Legend of Cao Cao: One

Qiao, Wei, 161 A.D.

The rain damped the city of Qiao. It was never dry about these months. Wei counties hadn't had the much of success as Wu counties did with the weather. It is usually wet and spoiling the crops for men,women,and children. And Wei had gone into a great depression. With thugs,and no protection running around the place.

While there lord stuffs his face,with all the food he can eat and all the wealth he can bathe in.

But for little CaoCao that hasn't been the deal. He had always had the strength that his father had dreamed for his soldier to be,the looks the woman needed int here life,and the leadership for the small village to look on.

He had only been 12 at the time,but boy would you be a fool to not know who he is. He made a name for himself around a few counties,and for a boy he sure knew what he was doing.

The story begins with young Cao entering his uncles weaponry shop,the shop only made to forge young men into soldiers there parents want.

"Yo,Uncle Xiu" he yelled tossing a knife up and out of his hand.

"CaoCao,I am your only Uncle,a simple Uncle will be nice." he groaned using the chopsticks to toss a dumpling into his mouth.

"I call you Uncle Xiu,when I want to talk business,and even more when I want something!" CaoCao yells like an excited child.

"Heh,heh,ain't that the truth." Uncle Xiu chuckled.

"So what is it youngster."

CaoCao's face straightened and got tense soon after,"Xiu. I heard that those Wu rats are lurking the counties. Emperor Ling hasn't done nothing a shit worth it and there smuggling people left from right. Word is,there hitting Qiao next." CaoCao explained.

"Okay boy,slow your role. You've made a name for yourself,I can say that much. But-your only twelve. Let the good men and women of Qiao protect us." he flew away from the problem.

CaoCao progressed,"Who may that be? My father? He hasn't picked up a sword in years. And women aren't allowed to do battle,that's your head on a plaque. Which is why I come to you,you own a weapon shop for god-"

"CaoCao! You don't expect me to fight do you! Iv'e gave my answer now get out my shop!" he barked.

CaoCao slammed his strong fist on the table and alerted the people in the small shop "Than what authority shall protect us!"

Xiu grumbled in frustration,"Look,iv'e heard that Dunqui was wiped clean from these Wu rats. What do you suppose we do! Answer me!"

"I don't have one!" Xiu yelled back.

CaoCao ran out of the store in heap and awaited for a carriage to take a stroll down the street before crossing. Waiting for him on the other side was his best friend. Yuan Shao. A child of the well known family Yuan. There land rulers,but Yuan and his family lived a quiet life not wanting bugging to live in the conditions of Qiao county. Even though it is often damped and wet there.

"So,what good old Xiu say?" Yuan asked with a startled look.

"Follow" CaoCao simply replied with passing his friend into CaoCao's house.

What could be seen was a small candle lit and his mother resting tea on the small coffee table they owned,"Back so soon son? Iv'e set up tea for your father,I can make some if you-" CaoCao didn't speak. Just walked past his mom and opened the tall and wide door to his brothers room.

"Brother!" CaoCao shouted.

"I need your help," he spoke aloud his voice booming over and vibrating the walls.

"Why exactly?" Cao De asked.

"The Wu rats are on the way...i'm gonna fight back." CaoCao spoke with seriousness in his voice.

"You really think you stand a chance?" Yuan downgraded.

"I agree." De obliged before CaoCao can speak.

"WHAT?!" Yuan gasped in shock.

CaoCao laughed and rested his hands on Yuan's shoulders his blue eyes seeping into Yuan's dark ones,"You in blonde buddy." CaoCao announced.

De tossed his own sword in his hands and Yuan sighed watching as both of he brothers couldn't be complied with. "Yes,"
