Facing Xiang Kunlun's respectful attitude, Cao Cao could not continue to attack.
Xiang Kunlun continued: "In order to make amends to Brother Cao, let's do this. E Lai and I will perform a martial arts show to cheer everyone up."
Without waiting for Cao Cao to speak, he grabbed the Tianlong city-breaking halberd and pulled Dian Weilai to the middle, who was still out of the situation.
Dian Wei scratched his head, how could he perform so well
But my lord has said so, so I just do as I am told.
He drew out his iron sword and saw a flash of cold light, making him look like a tiger.
Xiang Kunlun even held the Tianlong City Breaking Halberd, which he could hold with ease.
Stomping his feet, the table shook violently, the wine in the glass shook even more, and hops splashed everywhere.
"good!"
I don’t know who took the lead in cheering, and the cheers became more and more deafening.
Cao Cao's face suddenly turned bad. He knew that Xiang Kunlun was good at martial arts, but he didn't expect that he was so good.
What he didn't expect even more was that this Dian Wei was so powerful!
From this point of view, I have to re-evaluate my chances of winning.
The show is over. The applause and cheers almost brought down the roof.
Xiang Kunlun and Dian Wei put away their weapons and returned to their seats.
"It's just a few tricks to embroider your fists and legs, it's not worth mentioning. Please give me some advice from Brother Cao."
Cao Cao barely maintained his facial expression and applauded again.
"Brother Xiang has great martial arts skills, how dare Cao dare to do it for everyone."
Xiang Kunlun will carry on humbly to the end.
He smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Cao is ridiculous. My strength is low, but I can't compare to these powerful generals. Anyone you pick is stronger than me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he casually nodded: "Come on, Zhongkang, Boping, show your skills to Brother Cao."
The two stood up immediately, without saying a word, and instantly released murderous intent.
Even Cao Cao, who was used to big scenes, felt a little weak in his legs when facing the two of them.
"No need," he said with a forced smile, "Cao has already seen that Brother Xiang's men are indeed as skilled as clouds."
Xiang Kunlun motioned for the two of them to sit down and continued to be modest.
"These two still need to improve. We are fierce generals, but all of them are good at fighting one against a thousand."
Cao Cao's face became even worse. If his confidence was 90% at the beginning, after watching Xiang Kunlun and Dian Wei's performances, he only had 70% left.
Now, even the 50% chance of winning is gone.
He didn't expect that he underestimated Xiang Kunlun. Even with an army of ten thousand people, he might not be his opponent.
In a battle with no chance of winning like this, it would be reckless to fight hard.
Cao Cao hurriedly picked up another glass of wine: "I just wanted to make a harmless joke, but I didn't expect that Brother Xiang's general was really serious and misunderstood Cao's meaning. Cao punished himself with a drink!"
Take it all in one breath.
Cao Cao immediately stated that Guangzong City should belong to Xiang Kunlun.
Xiang Kunlun sneered secretly, not wanting you to see how powerful he is, he really treated himself like a soft persimmon.
However, the war without smoke continues.
Xiang Kunlun walked up to Cao Cao with a sincere attitude.
"Brother Cao, I always distinguish rewards and punishments. You have helped so much, and this city should be left to you."
Cao Cao felt a move in his heart and felt that there was still a chance.
However, he didn't believe Xiang Kunlun would be so kind and looked at him warily.
"It's just that I have something to ask for."
"I also hope that Brother Cao can borrow troops and food."
Cao Cao knew that Xiang Kunlun had other plans. He thought about it and agreed happily.
"No problem, Cao will give you three thousand soldiers and horses. What do you think, Brother Xiang?"
Xiang Kunlun had no objections and immediately thanked him.
A flash of light flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, of course he was not so kind.
These three thousand soldiers and horses are actually his confidants.
Just take this opportunity to break into Xiang Kunlun. Sooner or later, this guy will be his killer.
The officers and men were busy and drinking happily, and did not go back to rest until dawn.
The next day.
Zhang Liao asked in confusion: "My lord, why do you want to borrow troops and food from Cao Cao? I don't believe he is so kind."
Guo Jia already understood what Xiang Kunlun was thinking and Cao Cao's intentions, so he smiled and said nothing.
"Report! Report my lord, Zhang Liang has woken up and is begging Cao Cao for mercy."
"Let's go over and have a look."
Xiang Kunlun arrived quickly with Xu Chu and Gaoshun.
"As long as you don't kill me, I am willing to submit to you!"
As soon as he turned the corner, he saw Zhang Liang kneeling at Cao Cao's feet very spinelessly. The arrogance he once had was long gone.
"Please spare my life!"
Cao Cao pondered for a moment, he was short of manpower, and Zhang Liang was also a general. If he could recruit him, it would be a good idea to expand his power.
"As long as you can."
"Don't even think about it! Someone is here, kill Zhang Liang immediately!"
Before Cao Cao finished speaking, Xiang Kunlun shouted loudly and issued an order to kill.
Cao Cao had no time to stop him, and Zhang Liang was struck with a sword.
"This!" Cao Cao was so angry that he couldn't express himself.
"Brother Xiang, it's better to use it for yourself than to kill him!"
Xiang Kunlun looked into the distance nonchalantly: "You have to be wary of villains like this even when they are in your own team, why not just kill them."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Cao Cao was so angry that he swung his sleeves and cursed in his heart because Xiang Kunlun didn't give him face.
After going back in the evening, he became more and more angry.
This Xiang Kunlun really cannot be kept.
"Call them all over here." After giving the order, several confidants immediately came to Cao Cao's room: "Join me, my lord!"
Seeing Cao Cao's solemn expression, one of his subordinates, Qiqiao Linglongxin, guessed Cao Cao's thoughts based on what happened at the banquet today.
"My lord, are you worried about Xiang Kunlun's request today?"
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes, feeling increasingly unhappy when he thought that Xiang Kunlun killed Zhang Liang in public without giving him any face.
"I called you here today just to ask who of you has a good idea to kill Xiang Kunlun."
For a moment, everyone was silent.
At the banquet, they all saw Xiang Kunlun's martial arts. Let alone an opponent who was not his own, even if they fought together, they might not be able to beat him.
Cao Cao looked at his subordinates who guessed what he was thinking: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Seeing the lord's face getting worse and worse, his subordinates rolled their eyes and came up with a good idea in a hurry.
"Lord, I have an idea."
"explain."
"Wait until tomorrow, my lord can ask him to go horse racing with him."
"You can find an opportunity to lure him to a place with few people. Then arrange manpower nearby and take the opportunity to ambush him."
Cao Cao's frown slowly relaxed. No matter how powerful Xiang Kunlun was, he was only one person.
If it were to be an ambush, it would definitely catch him off guard.
When the time comes, it will be a matter of life and death.
Cao Cao thought for a moment and thought the plan was feasible.
"Okay, I'll do as you say! You go and select people now."
