He crossed over into the chaotic era of the Three Kingdoms, and fate placed him in Xuzhou. As soon as he arrived, he faced Cao Cao’s massacre. With great difficulty, he persuaded his clan to migrate, yet tragedy still befell his loved ones. Thanks to Liu Bei’s aid, he narrowly escaped with his life.

The Silver Fox of the Three Kingdoms
If I were an ordinary farmer, living a simple life amidst the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, I would be out in the fields, swinging a plain hoe, cultivating the earth, struggling against the harshness of nature, ever wary of the warlords who threatened from all directions. In the distance, the sound of hooves would grow louder as an army approached, and everyone would crouch down in fear, hoping with all their hearts that the soldiers belonged to Governor Liu’s troops.

In the autumn of the fourth year of Chuping, 193 AD, Cao Cao raised an army to avenge his father’s death and set out to punish Tao Qian. Yuan Shao sent his general Zhu Ling with three battalions to support him. After entering Xuzhou, Cao Cao’s forces captured over ten cities in succession. General Yu Jin seized Guangwei and advanced along the Si River all the way to Pengcheng. The vanguard, under Cao Ren, attacked Tao Qian’s general Lü You, and after their victory, joined forces with Cao Cao.
Tao Qian, Inspector of Xuzhou, led his troops to confront Cao Cao at Pengcheng, but suffered a devastating defeat and had to flee, seeking refuge in Tan City in Donghai. Seizing the opportunity, Cao Cao’s army ravaged Pengcheng, Fuyang, Wuyuan, and other places. At that time, many refugees had sought shelter under Tao Qian’s rule, most of whom were gathered in Pengcheng. Confronted by Cao Cao’s army, they were slaughtered. People were driven into the Si River and drowned; corpses clogged the river so thoroughly that the water could no longer flow.
