"My lord, General Cao has not yet arrived. When I sent someone to invite him, he said that General Cao had an old friend come yesterday and got a little drunk, so he might be a little late."
"An old friend?" Yuan Shao frowned upon hearing this and asked, "What kind of old friend is it?"
"I'll go ask right away," said one of Yuan Shao's generals, and went out.
"My lord." A moment later, a general under Yuan Shao rushed back and whispered in Yuan Shao's ear, "My lord, I just heard from the men who went to invite General Cao that when they went to invite General Cao today, they heard from the soldiers in Cao Cao's army that yesterday General Cao and Xi Zhicai entered the camp with a man who led a majestic white-armored beast and was accompanied by two servant generals.

Upon hearing the scout's report on Wang Han's appearance, she couldn't help but find it amusing. He was handsome, but not exaggeratedly so, nor did he possess an imposing, dignified air; rather, he appeared rather serene. Wang Han was also not as tall and imposing as rumored; instead, he looked rather thin and frail. If she hadn't seen him with her own eyes, with Xi Zhicai as a witness, and hadn't witnessed Wang Han's methods firsthand, she probably wouldn't have believed it.
