Hearing Zhou Yukun's very naïve question, Cao Cao couldn't help but sneer: "Peaceful coexistence? Your idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. There has long been an irresolvable hatred between our many princes, and they all want to cramp each other, and it is impossible for them to coexist together. Therefore, the only way out now is for one of us to unify the dream and eliminate all the enemies, so that we can truly enter the era of peace. ”

"But wouldn't more people die in this way?"

"What does their death have to do with me, as long as my people live unharmed. This world is like this, we have to become a selfish person, or we will not be able to live at all. Cao Cao said indifferently.

Zhou Yukun was silent, he didn't dare to ask any more, he didn't know if the answer would disappoint him even more.

After that, the two stopped talking, and Cao Cao closed his eyes and recuperated.

……

Looking back, Cao Cao had already finished the court meeting and walked towards Zhou Yukun's residence with a blank face. In the hall just now, he discussed with his ministers about how to deal with Zhao Yun. Many people advised Cao Cao not to be soft-hearted, but he had killed many of his own soldiers, and Zhao Yun should be executed directly; Some people also suggested that Zhao Yun and other fierce generals were a great help to the lord, how could he die because of his brave achievements?

Seeing that they couldn't argue for a long time, Cao Cao was also a little upset, so he put the matter aside for the time being. After that, he and his ministers decided on the nearest strategic goals. This time, Xun Yu, who was upright, quickly stood up, and he once again suggested that the lord should raise troops and store grain, at least until after the autumn harvest, and then consider attacking other territories.

This time, Cao Cao did not refute, listened carefully to Xun Yu's opinion, and decided to follow his advice. Because, after this battle, Cao Cao's sharpness was gradually worn out, allowing him to know his current shortcomings. That is, the army personnel were mixed, and most of Yuan Shao's soldiers were directly under his command, and they did not go through strict cooperation training, which led to the defeat of this war.

In addition, Yuan Shao's territory has just been occupied, and the government affairs in many places have not yet been resolved. Therefore, Cao Cao decided to temporarily recuperate in Xuchang for two months, let the army rest strictly, and train hard every day to prepare for the battle after two months.

Slowly coming to Zhou Yukun's door, Cao Cao knocked lightly on the door and walked in directly. After entering the door, he saw Zhou Yukun in a daze at the Qingyu Sword, so he coughed: "Zilong, I came to you for something, can you come out with me?" ”

Zhou Yukun raised his head and hurriedly jumped off the bed. "Uh, what's the matter?"

Cao Cao didn't answer, but just motioned for Zhou Yukun to follow him. In desperation, Zhou Yukun could only follow quickly. Under the leadership of Cao Cao, Zhou Yukun was dazzled by the huge palace, if it weren't for the fact that the sun was still in the sky, it was estimated that he would not even be able to figure out the direction.

Finally, after they walked for more than ten minutes, they came to an open field similar to a martial arts arena. There are all kinds of training equipment in the venue, there are several slightly raised jousting platforms in the middle, and there are many arrow targets in the distance for training.

At this time, in this martial arts arena, there were already many generals standing, and they were all quietly waiting for Cao Cao's arrival. Seeing that Cao Cao brought Zhou Yukun over, many people first cast puzzled glances, and after a while, the gaze that looked at him became very hostile.

Zhou Yukun was still a little puzzled, what did Cao Cao mean by bringing him here? Did I ask him to give him a martial arts show here?

Cao Cao asked Zhou Yukun to stand on one side, and then he strode to the middle of the field, looking at the many generals in front of him with a serious face. "Today, according to our practice, after the end of every war, regardless of victory or defeat, a meeting of all the generals must be held. In order to let you learn from the defeat and improve each other in the victory! Do you understand? ”

All the generals held their heads high and replied in a loud voice: "Understood! ”

"Good." Cao Cao bowed slightly: "Next, let me introduce you to a person, he is Zhao Zilong, who resisted my Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops in the previous battle!" As he spoke, Cao Cao pointed at Zhou Yukun with a bold smile on his face.

Zhou Yukun was very strange in his heart, obviously he had brought a huge loss to Cao Cao, why could he still smile so heartily now, had he never resented himself? If this is the case, then this Cao Cao's bearing is really amazing.

When these generals heard Cao Cao's words, they all looked at Zhou Yukun with blazing eyes, and sent out many fierce battle intentions. Cao Cao continued: "Do you know the purpose of inviting General Zhao Zilong here? The purpose is to let you see the strengths of others, see how he single-handedly changed the tide of battle, and then learn from him and try to surpass him! Do you understand? ”

The generals replied again in a loud voice: "Understood! ”

But at this time, Zhou Yukun's eyes widened and he looked at Cao Cao incredulously. How could he have thought that Cao Cao's purpose in calling him here was to let him train with these generals! You know, it's only been two months since I came to the dreamland, where can I play tricks with these old-timers, I guess I can't fight a few times, and I have to reveal my true form.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't know what Zhou Yukun was thinking, and said with high spirits: "Since you are all so impatient, I won't hang your appetite." As is customary, the conference is divided into three parts. First, it is the military general's solo fight; second, it is the bow competition of military generals; Third, it is the generals who lead the troops to rush into battle. Now, let's start the first one, the individual battle of the generals. You can choose your opponent and find a jousting table to prepare. ”

As soon as the words fell, a young general made a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Lord, don't you know what conditions are needed to challenge this General Zhao Yun next to you?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and looked at the person who spoke: "Oh, it turned out to be General Zhang He." Why, you want to be General Zhao Yun's first opponent? ”

Zhang He replied seriously: "My lord, the last general has long been famous for the name of Changshan Zhao Zilong, and now I want to ask him for two tricks, please ask the lord to agree." Zhang He said this very skillfully, on the surface, he praised Zhou Yukun's force, but in fact, he dug a pit for him, saying that he would ask him for two tricks. It means that if you can't defeat me within two moves, it will damage your Zhao Zilong's reputation! This is completely a disguised killing.

Cao Cao also heard the meaning of his words, and looked at him with deep meaning. Then, he turned his head to Zhou Yukun and said, "General Zilong, since my subordinates are so sincere to ask you for advice, you can agree to come down." ”

Zhou Yukun smiled bitterly in his heart, I am now in your hands, if I don't listen to you, wouldn't you just execute me? With a long sigh in his heart, he could only step forward helplessly, arched his hand and said: "Since General Zhang He is so sincere in inviting the battle, how can I not agree, please ask the general to go to the martial arts platform." ”

With that, Zhou Yukun walked towards the competition platform. Many generals around him have been discussing, most of them have never seen Zhou Yukun's strength, and they don't know if he is as powerful as the legend.

With full curiosity, they all gathered around Zhou Yukun and Zhang He's martial arts platform, wanting to see Zhou Yukun's skills up close.

Zhou Yukun took a deep breath on the stage, calmed down the superfluous distractions in his heart, looked at the opponent in front of him intently, and with a flick of his hand, the Gentian Yajiao spear instantly appeared in his hand.

Since you all want to know my strength, then I'll give you a good "show"!
