Your Majesty, please spare Diao Chan; your yang energy is too strong.

Seeing that Cao Cao did not answer, Xiahou Dun spoke again.

"My lord, since Zhou Heng has brought people here, and has now become a powerful warlord in his own right."

"It's impossible to win someone over with just a few words."

"I think Yuan Rang's plan is good."

At this moment, Guo Jia, who was standing next to him, also spoke up.

He was well aware of Cao Cao's concerns.

They also knew that Cao Cao wanted to acquire Zhou Heng.

After all, it's undoubtedly best to have such an existence in your own hands.

However, after Zhou Heng broke away from Cao Cao...

In a short period of time, it developed into a regional power.

Even if he agrees, his subordinates are unlikely to agree.

Since that's the case, why not take action now and defeat them?

After all, Cao Cao went to such great lengths to invite him to the city tower.

It's all about winning them over.

To bring the other party under one's own control.

What are you still hesitating about?

"Alright."

Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

After all, taking advantage of Zhao Yun's predicament and capturing Zhou Heng is undoubtedly the best solution.

Otherwise, Zhao Yun will defeat Xu Chu later.

There will inevitably be some turbulence at that time.

The most crucial thing is...

He doesn't want to go to war with Zhou Heng right now.

The other party's strength may not be as great as his.

However, the opponent's strategies were a real headache for him.

If we can't beat Zhou Heng this time.

That would completely offend Zhou Heng.

That would be a losing proposition.

Cao Cao would never make such a mistake.

This time, we must take down Zhou Heng.

"I have heard that Yuan Shao has four fierce generals under his command, known as the Four Pillars of Hebei."

"I had only heard about it before, but had never seen it."

"This is a rare opportunity. My brother and I are not very talented, but we would like to learn from the two generals."

It was at Cao Cao's behest.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan exchanged a glance and strode towards Gao Lan and Zhang He.

Of course, it's impossible to make a move right away.

That would be unreasonable.

So we still need to find an excuse.

And this excuse for a friendly competition is naturally the best excuse.

"Ok?"

This sudden turn of events caused a drastic change in the expressions of everyone present.

In particular, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Xin Ping.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao did not play by the rules at all.

On the surface, it was to let Xu Chu and Zhao Yun spar.

The real purpose was to have Xu Chu hold off Zhao Yun.

Thus.

The opponent then acted without restraint.

"Cao Cao, you were once a hero, but who would have thought you would actually..."

Xin Ping was furious.

He was about to reprimand her sternly, but Zhou Heng waved his hand to stop him.

"Alright, sir, since the general under Sikong has such an idea."

"Then you two brothers, why don't you play with them for a bit?"

Zhou Heng said calmly.

No panic at all.

"But........."

Zhang He and Gao Lan hesitated, wondering if the two of them would fight against them.

Who will protect Zhou Heng's safety?

It's important to know that Cao Cao still had many great generals behind him.

If they rush up...

The consequences could be disastrous.

"Don't worry, Sikong just wants to spar with you, he definitely won't lay a hand on me."

"Don't worry."

Zhou Heng waved his hand and said.

Not at all concerned.

However, if you think he is really as he appears on the surface, then Cao Cao will not make a move at this time.

That would be very wrong.

As soon as Cao Cao bent over, Zhou Heng knew what kind of shit he was going to take.

Is it possible to leave Zhou Heng untouched?

However, with Zhao Yun by my side, what am I afraid of?

what?

You said Zhao Yun was held up.

Sorry, that was just Zhao Yun in his normal state.

If I am in danger.

Zhao Yun is about to unleash his full potential.

Activate your passive skill.

Yun was furious.........

With Yun Danu protecting him, not to mention Cao Cao's remaining generals.

Even if several of Cao Cao's generals joined forces.

Zhou Heng had no doubt that Zhao Yun would kill the opponent with a single shot.

really.........

Just then, the Xiahou brothers stopped Zhang He and Gao Lan.

When the remaining brothers, Cao Ren and Cao Hong, tried to rush up and take down Zhou Heng...

Zhao Yun, who was in the distance, instantly flew into a rage.

"Shameless."

The battle, which was initially evenly matched, was instantly reversed.

With just a few shots and a couple of moves, Xu Chu was forced into a state of panic.

He then kicked the other person away.

Rushed over.

"Die to me."

Zhao Yun roared.

With a single move, he knocked the broadsword out of Cao Hong's hand.

He then kicked Cao Ren, who was standing next to him, flying away.

Don't underestimate Cao Hong.

Cao Hong was at least a top-tier player in the Three Kingdoms period, and even approached the level of a super-top-tier player.

why would you say so?

You can tell just by looking at his record.

In the original story, Cao Cao was killed by Ma Chao and had to cut off his beard and discard his robe.

If Cao Hong hadn't given his warhorse to Cao Cao, Cao Cao would probably be dead.

However, by giving his warhorse to Cao Cao, he had to stay behind to face the enraged Ma Chao.

Ma Chao had a horse at that time.

Cao Hong, who had no horse, faced Ma Chao, who had a horse and was in a rage.

He was able to fight for fifty rounds and then be defeated.

It's easy to imagine how strong he is.

Therefore, it is evident that even if his strength is not comparable to that of the Five Good Generals.

They won't differ by much.

Unfortunately, he was facing Zhao Yun in a state of great rage.

In his furious state, Zhao Yun was able to kill Gao Lan with a single spear thrust.

It's easy to imagine how strong they are.

Despite Xu Chu's seemingly high level of skill, he only ranked eighth among the twenty-four famous generals of the Three Kingdoms period.

Zhao Yun, however, ranked second.

Zhao Yun was only in his normal state before, which is why he didn't kill his opponent instantly.

If he were in a state of rage, he would probably be killed in thirty rounds.

Yun's fury was no joke.

"what?"

This unexpected turn of events startled Cao Cao, who was watching from afar.

He had already overestimated Zhao Yun's strength as much as possible.

He also dispatched his strongest subordinate, Xu Chu.

I didn't expect that I had still underestimated it by a large margin.

Even someone as strong as Xu Chu was evenly matched with his opponent for the first thirty rounds.

And then he was instantly killed?

Are you kidding me?

Cao Cao was completely stunned.

But that wasn't what bothered him the most.

The most numb thing is...

After Zhao Yun swiftly repelled the two men, he did not stop there.

Instead, they charged directly at Cao Cao.

This scared Cao Cao so much that he wet his diaper.

Beneath that spear that moved like lightning.

He once felt as if he had nowhere to turn.

"My life is over."

Looking into the distance, the crowd's eyes were filled with a mixture of shock and anger.

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.

Unexpectedly, after all that, they ended up inviting the other party to the city wall and then stalling them.

They wanted to subdue the other party.

As it turns out, this is the outcome.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have invited Zhou Heng to the city tower, even if it meant his death.
