Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 741 Wei Family Head Wei Gu: Our Wei family is Lady Cai's maternal family.
After a long night of hard work.

The "sneak attacks" on Guandu and Wuchao were not fully over until dawn the following day.

At this moment, Zhang Sui, surrounded by Gao Shun, Xu Rong, Chen Dao, Shi A, Zhao Qin and others, arrived at the outermost edge of the camp.

Behind them, the camp was a scorched wasteland.

Corpses and burned-out tents were everywhere.

Zhang Sui plopped down on the ground.

His face was burned black.

A group of guards came over carrying bamboo baskets.

The bamboo basket contained steamed buns.

Steamed buns were "invented" by Zhang Sui in Liucheng during his campaign against the Wuhuan people in the three commanderies, as a way to commemorate the Han Chinese who had died there.

After that, even the cooks in the army learned how to make steamed buns.

Although Zhang Sui didn't like eating this stuff at all before he transmigrated.

However, after transmigrating, he found himself completely unable to resist steamed buns.

To be precise, it wasn't just him; Gao Shun, Xu Rong, Chen Dao, Shi A, Zhao Qin, and others were all powerless to resist.

They don't usually get to eat steamed buns.

At this moment, everyone took the steamed buns from the guards and began to take big bites.

Zhang Sui devoured the steamed bun in a few large bites, clapped his hands, and exclaimed, "There's no harm in comparison!"

"I used to really hate steamed buns."

"But now, I find it very fragrant."

"It's a pity we just had a big battle last night, so I didn't have a chance to cook some porridge."

"If only we could have some Fuling pickled mustard tuber as well."

"Porridge, Fuling pickled mustard tuber, steamed buns."

"What kind of heavenly life is this?"

The group of people looked at Zhang Sui, exchanging bewildered glances.

I don't understand what he's saying!
Having steamed buns to eat is an incredible luxury, why would you need porridge?
What exactly is Fuling pickled mustard tuber?
Zhang Sui looked at the bewildered expressions of his generals and smiled self-deprecatingly.

It's really boring.

We don't have anything in common.

Just then, a group of soldiers brought up a group of prisoners wearing armor.

Zhang Sui glanced at it and exclaimed "Yo-ho!"

They're all familiar faces!

Huchuquan, the Xiongnu Chanyu.

Wei Gu, the patriarch of the Wei family, a prominent clan in Hedong County, and Fan Xian, the patriarch of the Fan family.

This all happened when Yuan Shao was still alive. He replaced Yuan Shao and led his own 1,000 cavalry and 4,000 Black Mountain Army to Hedong Commandery to help Emperor Liu Xie cross the river back to Luoyang. Hedong Commandery sent generals to escort Emperor Liu Xie.

Only one person is missing—

Wang Yi, the governor of Hedong Commandery.

When Wang Yi served the emperor, he remained loyal to Emperor Liu Xie.

The Xiongnu Chanyu Huchuquan, Wei Gu, Fan Xian, and others also saw Zhang Sui.

He was escorted by soldiers to Zhang Sui's side.

A group of people forced smiles at Zhang Sui.

The Xiongnu Chanyu Huchuquan said sheepishly, "General, I knew it! How could someone as mighty and powerful as you make such a basic mistake?"

"as expected."

"General, you lured us into this attack."

Zhang Sui looked Huchuquan up and down and laughed, "You guessed it, so why did you fall for the trap?"

Hu Chuquan's embarrassed smile vanished instantly, and he lowered his head.

He wished he could turn back time to the day he received the news!

damn it!
This general, unexpectedly, was just as terrifying as Cao Cao.

Thinking of the Xiongnu's past invincibility, and how their ancestor Modu Chanyu even besieged Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, at Baideng City.

Now, however, he has been defeated by Cao Cao and Zhang Sui one after another.

Hu Chuquan felt his breathing becoming somewhat difficult.

Seeing Hu Chuquan's expression, Zhang Sui was about to ask him if he wanted to surrender.

He needed the Xiongnu cavalry to put on a show.

If Huchuquan, the Chanyu, were to personally intervene, that would be the best outcome.

If Huchuquan doesn't step forward, then we'll have to use other Xiongnu generals.

Last night's battle resulted in a complete rout of the Xiongnu. The number of prisoners alone is roughly estimated at fourteen or fifteen thousand.

Finding one or two generals to act in a play is not too easy.

However, no matter how well other generals acted, it was not as effective as Huchuquan, the Chanyu, personally taking the lead.

Before he could even ask the question, Wei Gu, the patriarch of the Wei family, said with a forced smile, "General, could you please untie the ropes binding me? I've been tied up for most of the day, and it's very uncomfortable."

"General, you are the disciple of Ding Gong, the former governor of Bingzhou, and Tian Gong, the former governor of Xuzhou, and also the son-in-law of Cai Yong and Yuan Gong."

“We are all from prominent families.”

"We should look after each other."

"Besides, the law does not apply to high-ranking officials, does it?"

Xu Rong, Chen Dao, and Zhao Qin looked over.

The three men wore contemptuous smiles.

Gao Shun and Shi A looked at Wei Gu expressionlessly.

Wei Gu seemed oblivious to the disdain in the other man's eyes, and said to Zhang Sui, "Also, General, Madam Cai is a daughter-in-law of the Wei family."

"Speaking of which, we're actually relatives!"

Zhang Sui then looked at Wei Gu with a mocking expression.

Was Cai Yan a daughter-in-law of the Wei family?

He had completely forgotten about it.

Historically, Cai Yan was captured by the Xiongnu Left Wise King in Pingyang County, Hedong Commandery.

Hedong County was also the territory of the Wei family.

Wei Gu, as the patriarch of the Wei family, never cared about Cai Yan's life or death.

It was Cao Cao who spent a large sum of money to redeem Cai Yan from the Xiongnu.

Seeing Wei Gu's face like this, Zhang Sui laughed in anger.

Powerful and influential families are indeed shameless.

Wei Gu actually had the nerve to bring this up.

Let's not talk about history.

In this world, when he met Cai Yan, Cai Yan was not having an easy time.

Cai Yan married Wei Zhongdao of the Wei family, but they never consummated their marriage before Wei Zhongdao died of illness.

The Wei family pinned the blame for Wei Zhongdao's death on Cai Yan and drove her out of the house.

When he met Cai Yan, she was living in a dilapidated house in Ye City, in a very miserable state.

Upon hearing Wei Gu's words, Fan Xian quickly chimed in, "Yes, General, we're relatives!"

"When Madam Cai married into our Hedong County, our Fan family helped her quite a bit."

"It's a pity that the child had a bad life; Zhongdao died so young."

Wei Gu sighed, "Yes, Lady Cai is unlucky."

"Our Wei family is very sorry."

"It's just that this child is rather stubborn."

“She has been blaming herself for Zhongdao’s death, and no matter how we try to persuade her, it’s no use.”

"Later, he even secretly left the Wei family and disappeared without a trace."

"Over the years, our Wei family has sent a large number of people to search everywhere."

"Nothing."

"It was only later that I learned that she had the good fortune to be favored by the general."

Shaking his head, seemingly reminiscing about the past, Wei Gu came back to his senses and smiled at Zhang Sui, saying, "General."

"Our Wei family has always regarded Madam Cai as our own child."

"We've met again this time."

"When I return to Hedong County this time, I will have someone send some dowry over."

"That child, Madam Cai, is really something."

"She's already married to the general, and she didn't even say a word."

"We can also be considered her family now."

"How can we neglect the proper etiquette?"

Fan Xian echoed again, "Yes!"

"However, it's not too late to make amends now."

"How could a man as magnanimous as the General possibly concern himself with such things?"
