Xiang Kunlun originally didn't have high hopes for whether he could harvest Meng Huo.
Anyway, I have so many elite soldiers now, one more is not too much, and one is not too much.
What he needs most now is the word "loyalty".
No matter how capable or capable a general is, if his mind is not right, he will never be retained.
Before, Zhuge Liang's evaluation of Meng Huo was not good, so Xiang Kunlun gave up the idea of harvesting Meng Huo.
Now, it was Zhuge Liang who personally brought the people back. He believed in Zhuge Liang's vision and there must be his reasons for doing so.
Xiang Kunlun acted as majestic as a lord should be: "Okay! Since you have surrendered to Xiang, you can no longer have different intentions, and you must obey the rules here."
Meng Huo said there was no problem at all.
Xiang Kunlun was very satisfied and rewarded him with generous gifts to take back.
Meng Huo burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much, my lord."
After Meng Huo left, Xu Chu felt that this was not good. The other generals were more or less upright heroes, but Meng Huo was the only one he felt was a villain.
"My lord, do you want to observe for a while longer? If Meng Huo pretends to surrender, he will rebel again in the future."
Xiang Kunlun smiled slightly, each of his soldiers had their own characteristics.
If Dian Wei has a bad temper, but there are subtleties in his roughness, then Xu Chu is truly thoughtful.
"Don't worry. People like Meng Huo are strong on the outside but capable on the inside. Even if they have a thief's heart, they don't have the courage."
"What's more, he has seen the strength of Guangzong City and will never do such a thankless thing again."
"Not only that, Xiang has been so kind to him since the beginning. Not only will he not rebel, but he will also appreciate him."
Everyone showed admiration.
Their lord is not only brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, but he is also very good at manipulating people's hearts and psychological tactics.
Xu Chu suddenly realized that no wonder the lord had given him so many rewards just after harvesting Meng Huo. It turned out that everything had been expected by the lord.
"My lord is wise!"
Sima Yi's plan failed again, and Cao Cao fell into a state of retreat.
He originally thought about hibernating for a while, but he was really unwilling to do so.
If this continues, what's the difference between waiting for Xiang Kunlun to beat him
Cao Cao really couldn't live a day like this when he couldn't sit still every day, couldn't eat well or sleep well, and worried that there would be no tomorrow.
He called several counselors into the room: "Mengde has another plan, and it requires the cooperation of a few of them."
Several counselors were secretly complaining in their hearts. They had just been quiet for a few days. Wouldn't it be nice to take a rest for a while
But they dared not speak out in anger, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be slapped by Cao Cao first.
Cao Cao's eyes swept over everyone one by one: "Meng De decided to directly give the imperial seal to Xiang Kunlun. Doesn't he want to be the overlord? Then let him do it!"
After listening to this, several counselors had only one thought in their minds: It's over, the lord is crazy!
One of them boldly said cautiously: "My lord, this is tantamount to setting yourself on fire! I hope my lord will think twice."
Several other people also knelt on the ground, unable to kowtow.
When Cao Cao was impatient: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade me any more!"
"I asked you to come here so that you can spread the news when the time comes. Don't worry about the rest!"
A few counselors knew that when Cao Cao called them here, it was not for discussion at all, but for notification.
Soon, the imperial seal was delivered to Xiang Kunlun at great speed.
Xiang Kunlun glanced at Yuxi without any expression.
"I don't know, what does General Cao mean?"
The visitor said sternly: "Our lord, who has never known the general before, believes that the only one who belongs in this world is the general."
Xiang Kunlun laughed loudly, how could he not see through Cao Cao's plot
At the same time, through the efforts of several counselors, rumors were spread that Xiang Kunlun was planning to rebel, and the news reached the ears of the princes.
Cao Cao laughed proudly. This would ruin Xiang Kunlun's reputation.
Once the princes are angered, they will immediately raise troops to deal with Xiang Kunlun.
When that time comes, the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows behind.
Cao Cao stroked his beard, and in front of him was the scene of Xiang Kunlun kneeling down begging for mercy.
This strategy was linked together, but unfortunately it backfired and failed to follow Cao Cao's ideas at all.
When the princes learned that Xiang Kunlun was planning to rebel, they didn't react much.
On the contrary, it was the people. After the people heard that Xiang Kunlun was going to be emperor, they organized themselves and shouted.
"General Xiang is the true Dragon Emperor!"
"The common people want such a hero to be their emperor!"
And the imperial seal was returned to Cao Cao's desk.
Xiang Kunlun also wrote a letter himself, with only seven characters on it - stealing chickens and losing rice.
Cao Cao yelled angrily, grabbed the letter and tore it into pieces.
Not only did he fail to see the results he wanted during this operation, he was also humiliated. Cao Cao was so angry that he didn't eat for a whole day.
[Ding! After detecting the subsequent development of the matter, the host has a new task.]
[Task name: Capture all Cao Cao’s cities.]
[Now that the world is temporarily divided into three parts, Sun Quan has temporarily formed an alliance, and Liu Bei has nothing to fear. Only Cao Cao is still jumping up and down, and the host can operate on him first.]
Xiang Kunlun secretly found it funny how the system could say such an inspiring sentence without any fluctuation in tone.
He stood up and stretched his arms and legs.
Even if the system did not issue an order, he would have originally wanted to compete with Cao Cao.
In this case, it comes at the right time.
"Send the order, get your troops in order! Attack Cao Cao with all your strength!"
Hundreds of thousands of men and horses, majestic and high-spirited, casually arrived outside Cao Cao's city.
Xiang Kunlun was about to issue an order when bang! The city gate actually opened by itself.
The city lord guarding the city was very calm and walked out with a small box of gold and silver jewelry in his hand, without any weapons.
Dian Wei was dumbfounded: "What does this mean?"
The city lord was a sensible man and knew that he could never defeat Xiang Kunlun. There was no point in resisting, so it was better to open the city and surrender.
"General Xiang, I know that the general is loyal and courageous. He never kills innocent people indiscriminately. He treats soldiers who are willing to surrender equally. I am willing to lead all the soldiers to surrender."
He put his words directly here. Even if Xiang Kunlun wanted to massacre the city, it would be hard to do it again.
However, Xiang Kunlun didn't have that intention in the first place, but he admired the city lord's adaptability.
That's fine, there is no need to fight a battle, there is no loss of combat power, the city can be easily captured, and everyone is happy.
"Evil comes, you stay here to defend the city, others move on!"
Cao Cao's cities were captured one after another.
