Unlike Xiang Kunlun, who was leisurely and content, Cao Cao was sweating profusely and trembling with fear.
He seemed to be racing against the Lord of Hell, rushing back as fast as he could in his life.
The subordinate was startled: "Lord, what is going on with you?"
Cao Cao gasped and looked back a few more times, as if he had finally confirmed something, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
The subordinate monk Zhang Er was confused, and there was no one following him.
"He wants to kill me!"
Cao Cao's face was full of sinisterness, and every word was squeezed out from between his teeth.
The men were surprised and dubious at the same time, so they asked what happened.
Cao Cao didn't go into details, but just snorted: "What a great hero!"
He looked sideways at his men, thinking about the tiger generals under them, and then looked at himself, feeling very angry.
"Instead of asking me what happened here, you should quickly think of a way to kill him!"
"Think quickly! If you can't think of it, I want you to be buried with him!"
This time it was the turn of the hands to look earthy.
He swallowed, knowing that his lord's words were definitely not a joke.
When I am a fair advocate, I can talk about nothing, but once I become ruthless, I am not as vicious and cruel as usual.
As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger!
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and a clever idea flashed in his mind.
"My lord, my subordinates are not talented, so I dare to ask my lord to make a choice."
Cao Cao sat upright: "Oh? Tell me."
"First, pack up your things and flee Guangzong City immediately to save your life. Keep the green hills here, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood!"
"But if you do this, you will definitely be laughed at by everyone in the world."
"Second, it's better to use the enemy's plan to attack first and kill him by surprise."
Cao Cao has always been conceited, and he will never allow himself to flee Guangzong City in despair like a lost dog.
"You haven't seen Xiang Kunlun's strength. How can you strike first to gain strength?"
The subordinates came close to Cao Cao's ear and whispered a few words.
"Sneak attack at night?"
He rubbed his chin, feeling that what his subordinate said made some sense.
From this discussion of heroes over wine, we can feel that this Xiang Kunlun already looks down on him.
If a sneak attack was carried out at night, Xiang Kunlun would be resting and would not be able to react.
The probability of killing Xiang Kunlun by himself is very high.
But Cao Cao hesitated again.
"Even if they can catch him off guard, their strength cannot be underestimated."
"Is this the idea you came up with?"
Seeing that Cao Cao was about to get angry, his men hurriedly explained: "Master, we can give him medicine."
Now it is no longer a matter of killing Xiang Kunlun, but of saving his own life first.
"No matter how powerful Xiang Kunlun and his men are, there is no way they will be fine after being drugged."
"In addition, the lord has more soldiers and horses than them, so this matter will definitely be accomplished."
Cao Cao frowned and couldn't think of a better way. He decided to give it a try.
"Go and prepare me some drugged wine."
Cao Cao came to Xiang Kunlun again with a jar of wine in his arms.
"Brother Cao, are you feeling better?"
Cao Cao looked embarrassed when he thought of what happened not long ago.
"Ahem, what happened in the afternoon was because Cao was disrespectful."
He handed the wine in his hand to Xiang Kunlun: "Cao came here personally to apologize."
Xiang Kunlun didn't hesitate for a second and took the wine.
"Come on, come on, let's all drink together, this is how fun it is!"
Immediately placing several wine bowls, Cao Cao watched Xiang Kunlun and his men all drink before leaving with satisfaction.
I didn't expect things to develop so smoothly.
Cao Cao waited for the opportunity after returning.
evening.
Cao Cao gave the order: "Kill!"
The soldiers who had been prepared for a long time roared loudly: "Kill! Kill!"
The mighty queue and the sound of horse hooves sounded particularly crisp in the silent night.
"Wait a moment!"
Cao Cao suddenly ordered to stop advancing. His intuition told him that something seemed wrong.
"brush-"
Torches were lit all around.
Xiang Kunlun stood above with the Heavenly Dragon Breaking City Halberd in his hand, looking down at them.
"No! I fell into a trap!"
It turned out that Xiang Kunlun had already seen through Cao Cao's treacherous plan and was not poisoned at all.
As soon as Cao Cao left, he immediately asked his men to vomit out the wine.
Next, they will resort to tricks and launch a counter-encirclement.
Now, Cao Cao and his men are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, in panic.
"Lord, what should we do now?!"
Cao Cao was so angry that he wanted to cut the men who offered his advice into pieces.
There is no other way. At this point, we can only fight with our backs against the wall!
His only advantage now is that he has more troops than Xiang Kunlun.
Even if there are one against a thousand, so what, using wheel tactics can still consume them alive!
The most important thing is that he also has a secret weapon that is enough to compete.
"Fight them! Those who retreat will be killed!"
"Hey~" Yisheng whistled, and the three thousand confidants he gave to Xiang Kunlun immediately appeared in front of him.
Cao Cao felt emboldened instantly and looked up to the sky with a smile.
"Xiang Kunlun! You didn't expect it!"
Unexpectedly, before he could finish laughing, the commander of the three thousand elite soldiers knelt down facing Xiang Kunlun.
"Lord, please give instructions!"
Cao Cao's laughter got stuck in his throat for a moment, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
He couldn't believe his eyes. Three thousand of his confidants had betrayed him!
"kill!"
Cao Cao was furious and gave an order, causing a melee.
Dian Wei couldn't wait for a long time. He already disliked Cao Cao, but now he could finally teach him a lesson.
"Don't fight with me! Cao Cao asked me to come! Let him be disrespectful to the lord!"
Xu Chu cut off a person's neck with his backhand: "Hey, whoever grabs it gets it!"
Soon, Cao Cao's men were suddenly surrounded when they thought they were sure to win. They were also afraid of the strength of Xiang Kunlun and his men, and their morale had long been exhausted.
In less than half an hour, Cao Cao's army was defeated like a mountain and was completely defeated.
"Lord!" His hand wiped the blood spattered on his face, "We can't keep up the beating like this!"
Cao Cao was already red-eyed. Looking around, he saw that many of his soldiers and horses had been killed and captured.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw!"
Several of his confidants protected him, fighting their way out of the tight siege and escaping out of the city.
Dian Wei Fei got on his horse and said, "I will definitely capture him!"
Xiang Kunlun stopped him: "No need, don't chase the poor bandits."
[Ding, it’s detected that the host defeated Cao Cao for the first time.]
[Additional mission reward: urban construction planning.]
Xiang Kunlun ordered his men: "Count the casualties."
He knew that although the battle was a complete victory, he also suffered casualties.
"I will announce three things next."
"Reorganize the troops and horses, extend kindness to the people in the city, and start city construction."
Guo Jia nodded approvingly.
Those who achieve great things must put the people first.
You will never get far by just relying on killing.
The men followed the instructions and strengthened the construction of the city, and the defense was greatly improved.
