The two people looked at each other and found that the other person was as disgraced as themselves and looked very embarrassed.
After the two people said this, they remained silent in a very tacit understanding, and no one said anything else.
As for Liu Bei, he managed to escape with all his strength. His men died and ran away, but not a single one was left.
He managed to reach this area with great difficulty, and was out of breath from exhaustion. He looked around and saw no pursuers.
Liu Bei then found a larger stone and sat on it to survive.
No, as soon as I sighed, I ran into an old acquaintance of mine.
Cao Cao walked over silently and sat down on the other side of the stone.
"Brother Xuande, why are you alone? Are Brother Yun and Brother Yide already here?"
Cao Cao asked this question tentatively, because he knew that the three people would always be inseparable.
Now Liu Bei was the only one left, and he thought the two unlucky guys had died in the battle.
It's okay if I don't say it, but when I mention Liu Bei, I get so angry that I tremble all over.
"Don't tell me about those two rip-offs!"
"Brother Xuande, why did you say this?"
Liu Bei gritted his teeth and roughly told how Guan Yu and Zhang Fei surrendered, hating that he didn't have Xiang Kunlun to win over people.
Cao Cao sighed after hearing this.
"I really didn't expect that this Xiang Kunlun is not only great at fighting, but he is also so good at psychological tactics."
Liu Bei felt very unhappy when he heard Cao Cao praise Xiang Kunlun.
He sneered and asked Cao Cao: "If Xuande's two brothers are here, Xiang Kunlun may not be able to get benefits. Why does Brother Mengde live here?"
Cao Cao was also very angry, saying that he was forced to jump off the cliff, so God had mercy and allowed him to survive the catastrophe.
After the two people recounted their experiences, they couldn't help but sigh. They used to fight each other to the death, but now they actually feel a sense of sympathy for each other.
Cao Cao sighed heavily: "Brother Xuande, you said that the world is so big, why is there no place for you and me?"
Liu Bei was also full of grief and anger.
"This world should be a world where several forces check and balance. Xiang Kunlun should not be allowed to take it for himself."
Cao Cao nodded: "Yes, Xiang Kunlun is just a hypocritical villain, but he used his own methods to deceive all those people."
Neither of them wanted to admit their failure. They sat on the stone and talked to each other. If they had been like this before, they would have been like this now.
After talking about assumptions for a long time, I just said a lot of nonsense.
But this pile of nonsense can give them some comfort.
The cool breeze blows and rustles the leaves.
Finally, a few pieces couldn't stand it any longer and were forced to leave the branches and fall down.
This situation made Liu Bei and Cao Cao, who were already feeling uncomfortable, feel even more desolate.
After the two finished speaking, they returned to the original silence.
Liu Bei looked into the distance, which was the direction where he had met Mr. Shui Jing.
He stared blankly in that direction, his mind racing like a whirlwind of images, but in fact he might not have thought of anything.
Cao Cao just lowered his head and looked at the stone he was sitting on.
He suddenly said: "Brother Xuande, are you willing?"
Liu Bei smiled bitterly: "Of course I'm not willing to give up. Has Brother Meng De just given up?"
"No!"
Cao Cao ignited his fighting spirit and clenched his fists tightly.
"It's not that easy to make Mengde admit defeat!"
Liu Bei grimaced and said to himself, "This has already happened. What else can we do if we don't admit defeat?"
"Then, Brother Meng De, you don't have any plans next?"
Cao Cao would never give in. He said that he would go far away and would definitely come back with his army to take revenge in the future.
Liu Bei was very surprised. He was a relatively depressed person and had lost his fighting spirit.
Now after listening to Cao Cao's words, I feel that I can do it again.
"Brother Meng De is right, as long as there is still life left, we can definitely make a comeback!"
The two stood up and high-fived each other.
"The two of us vowed again that when we expand our army and attack Xiang Kunlun in the future, as long as one side advances, the other side must come to support."
Of course, both of them knew that this kind of oath was not reliable at all, and they must be looking out for themselves at critical moments.
However, there still needs to be a sense of ritual.
After the two made an appointment, they went their separate ways. When he came back, he was determined to fight Xiang Kunlun.
To Xiang Kunlun, such an oath was like hearing a big joke.
At this moment, he had just sent away the barbarian envoys, and was being asked by everyone how he knew the three difficult questions.
Xiang Kunlun thought to himself that smashing the Nine Links was a costume drama he had watched before, surviving in the desert was something he learned from geography class, and saving people was a reference to Chu Liuxiang.
In this way, there is really nothing to say. They are all borrowing from predecessors and are not my own efforts.
"Okay, come on, no matter how hard you drink, I can't stop your mouth?"
"You didn't understand what I said. Anyway, I cracked it easily."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Xiang Kunlun laughed loudly and continued drinking and chatting with everyone.
This time, it is indeed a good thing to be able to make the barbarians submit without spending a single soldier.
Zhuge Liang was very happy to see Xiang Kunlun and thought he needed to remind him.
He did not alert others, but whispered beside Xiang Kunlun: "Your Majesty, Kong Ming believes that those barbarians must be guarded against."
"Why did Kong Ming say this?"
"Those barbarians are very different from us in terms of language and various cultures."
"And they are the main fighting faction. If they don't keep their word and suddenly fall out, we will be caught off guard."
When he said this, Xiang Kunlun thought it made sense.
People who surrender on the surface may not necessarily think so in their hearts.
Nowadays, aren’t there too many people who do one thing in front of others but another behind their backs
What's more, the barbarians suddenly took the initiative to send envoys to deliver gifts, which was a bit strange in itself.
It's just that Xiang Kunlun didn't think much about it. Now that he calmed down and thought about it, he really had to guard against it.
"Come here! I don't have you to set up a war between the barbarians and our country. Remember, it has to be beautiful."
The purpose of this is ostensibly to make the other party think that they want to establish a friendly relationship.
In fact, this is very convenient for monitoring the movements of the barbarians.
Zhao Zilong volunteered: "Your Majesty, leave this matter to Zilong."
The others had long been idle, and when they heard that there was a task to be done, they became more anxious than the other.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Zilong spoke the fastest.
Zhang Liao took a step forward: "Zilong, you have worked too hard during this period. You should get more rest. For such a small matter, let Wen Yuan handle it."
Dian Wei also started shouting: "No one can argue with me! I'll go!"
