Wow!! My first fanfic! First of all, I don't own any of the characters
except for Qiu Huan only. If I do, I'll be planning to make a Dynasty
Warriors RPG instead of writing this. Anyway, please feel free & enjoy
reading my story! ^_^
Prologue: A New Blade Arises
In a chamber deep within the stronghold in Xu Chang, capital of the mighty Wei Empire, sit a man, tall and large. Full battle armor is the man's only outfit seen within the stronghold. But he is not alone. Another figure sits from the opposite site of the rectangular table with beautiful dragon markings on it. The duo stared at pieces of parchments stationed on the table.
"Lord Zhang, have we decided the conclusion yet?," the figure asked the man wearing the battle armor.
"I can't agree fully to your military strategies, Xun You," answered Zhang Liao.
"What are you not satisfied about, Lord Zhang? More delays of this will upset Lord Cao. You know how impatient our Lord can be into destroying Yuan Shao," Xun You replied.
"It is not the delays you speak of. I wanted to assure that our Lord would achieve the victory he desires. No mistakes must be made during the battle in Guandu to come,"
"Why being cautious? Our battle in Baima Slope was victorious. I can assure you Lord Zhang, this coming battle will be ours," Xun You answered with a grin.
Just then, the chamber's double-doors open. Two men entered to greet Zhang Liao and Xun You. One of the men was large size, nearly as same as Zhang Liao and the other is slightly shorter than any of the two. Zhang Liao caught sight of one of them and recognized the cloth tied around the man's head covering the left eye.
"What brings you here, Xiahou Dun?," asked Zhang Liao.
"Is everything ready? Our Lord is eager to enter battle with Yuan Shao and his army," Xiahou Dun replied.
"After a few adjustments are made, then we are ready. But what is your real intention here? Who is that soldier with you?," Zhang Liao points to the other person next to Xiahou Dun.
The person step forward and greeted Zhang Liao.
"Lord Zhang, I am Qiu Huan from Qiao County in Pei prefecture. It would be my honor to serve in battle against Yuan Shao. Please allow me to join your arsenal,"
"What is the meaning of this Xiahou Dun? I don't think he's even a soldier here," Xun You retorted. "Who is he actually?,"
"Qiu Huan is a student trained under me. Both of us were born in the same location. He has a great desire joining Lord Cao to prove his worth. Please allow the request," Xiahou Dun bowed to both of them.
"You knew very well that Lord Cao doesn't simply accept strangers in his army. What say you, Lord Zhang?," Xun You turned to Zhang Liao.
"Hmm. The man's words sounded determine. But since he's under Xiahou Dun, I don't fear much. Qiu Huan, will you be willing to join our cause?,"
"Yes, my lord! I assure you that I will not fail," Qiu Huan answered.
"Fine. Here's our deal. If you succeed, I'll ask Lord Cao to promote you as an officer under Xiahou Dun. But if you fail, I'll make sure to execute you personally. What do you say, Qiu Huan? Accept my offer?," Zhang Liao asked.
"Don't you think you've gone too far?," Xiahou Dun interrupted.
"You have my word Lord Zhang. I will not fail you or Lord Cao," Qiu Huan answered.
"Very good. Now listen. One of Yuan Shao's weaknesses is food. There's been a report that he kept his supplies hidden at Wuchao compound. Your task is to find the Wuchao encampment and burn all his supplies. Then, there will be a guarantee of victory. Are you prepared?,"
"Yes Lord Zhang!,"
The bright orange sun sets bringing nightfall throughout Xu Chang. By tomorrow, Cao Cao's army will be prepared to face Yuan Shao's advancing forces.
So how is it? This is my very first fanfic written and I've been cracking my head to write all that stuff down. Please review. Next chappy comin' soon!
