Chapter 220: Boss Cao who is enough

"You Wu Mengxuan are the first one to defeat me, Gan Xingba... I believe that this martial arts competition... the first place is definitely you..."

When the wine was full, the three of them had let go of their previous restraints. Gan Ning burped and said to Wu Fan in confusion.

Wu Fan laughed and didn't say anything, and then the three of them drank again.

Through this banquet, the intimacy between Taishici and Gan Ning and Wu Fan has been greatly improved. Among them, Taishici and Wu Fan have reached 27, while Gan Ning and Wu Fan have reached 21, and their relationship is all "confidant".

The reason why the relationship between the two and Wu Fan still improves faster when they are in a hostile camp is because the two and Wu Fan's character is almost exactly the same, both of them are generals and loyal and righteous. The difference is the relationship between the three people except for the camp. This is not a key factor affecting intimacy during the process of making friends.

However, Wu Fan could not consider these things now. His alcohol tolerance was only average, not good at it. After drinking a lot of this banquet, Wu Fan was naturally drunk. He reluctantly sent the two out of the hospital and ordered the servants to take the two back to their respective halls. Then Wu Fan staggered back to the house and fell asleep.

I slept until around 9 am the next morning.

According to the schedule, there were four competitions this morning, namely Huang Zhong VS Lu Bu, Wu Fan VS Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei VS Dian Wei, Hua Xiong VS Wen Chou. His own servants came to wake up Wu Fan in advance. After washing and eating, Wu Fan came to the competition venue.

When we arrived at the competition venue, the competition between Huang Zhong and Lu Bu had already begun.

In fact, the rankings at the martial arts competition are as Wu Fan thought, and this cannot be used to measure the level of force among military generals. Many times, this ranking is greatly affected by the lottery. For example, Huang Zhong, in terms of force, Gan Ning, Taishi Ci, Xu Zhu, Zhang Liao and others are not inferior to him. However, because the opponents matched with the lottery are relatively high, all four of them become the losers in the qualifiers; and Huang Zhong is very lucky to be the winner because he is against Xiahou Dun, who has low force.

In this way, even if Huang Zhong lost consecutively in the subsequent competition, he would be ranked eighth in the lowest ranking. Even if Gan Ning and others won all the competitions, they would be ranked ninth in the highest ranking.

Looking back, let’s talk about the duel between Huang Zhong and Lu Bu. Compared with Lu Bu, Huang Zhong’s martial arts were more than ten points away. Even though he had bow-type martial arts as an unexpectedly conspicuous skill, he was also a flash in front of Lu Bu’s powerful strength. Therefore, the competition soon came to an end. As Huang Zhong’s black iron bow was frozen into an ice sculpture by Lu Bu’s ice-attributed martial arts, Huang Zhong’s bow-type martial arts relying on could not be used and was easily defeated by Lu Bu.

There is no suspense in the showdown between the two, and the result is as expected by people. After the two stepped down, amid the cheers of the crowd, Wu Fan took to the martial arts stage and started a new round of competition with Zhao Yun, who followed the martial arts stage.

These two are considered old rivals. When Wu Fan was under Yuan Shao, Hebei, he had fought with Zhao Yun, who was under Gongsun Zan. At that time, Wu Fan was injured and seemed very passive in front of Zhao Yun. Later, in the night attack on Liu Bei's military camp in Xia Pi, Wu Fan fought with Zhao Yun briefly on the Sishui River embankment while pursuing Liu Bei. Because Wu Fan had a certain understanding of Zhao Yun's martial arts routines by observing Zhang Xiu's martial arts, Wu Fan had a clear advantage in that fight.

Of course, this is Wu Fan's personal situation, but Zhao Yun is unaware of this. In Zhao Yun's opinion, he believed that he was seriously injured. Therefore, Zhao Yun was still confident about this duel.

After the two stood face to face, Wu Fan smiled and said:

"General Zhao, you and I are also old opponents. For the sake of your and I have fought many times, if you take the initiative to admit defeat now, I will not be embarrassed by you."

If this is the case, if it is placed on the powerful generals such as Lu Bu, the other party will be so angry that they will be furious. Wu Fan also wants to take this opportunity to try how much resistance Zhao Yun has to pick and choose. This is the real purpose of Wu Fan's words.

Zhao Yun was slightly stunned, and then smiled immediately:

"Governor Wu, you should put away this kind of jī method. In this competition, Yun Ding should do his best."

There was almost no influence in the conversation.

Wu Fan nodded and said in his heart: If you meet Zhao Yun on the battlefield in the future, if the time is not right, try not to play any tricks with him, especially if you choose a trick, the chance of success is too low.

When he thought about this in his heart, Wu Fan said to Zhao Yun:

"Very good, I'm worried that you won't be willing to use your full strength. So, please."

Zhao Yun then asked for help, and the two of them fought together with weapons.

The force of these two people is very close. Wu Fan's current overall force value is 108, and Zhao Yun's overall force value is 106. According to the theory of adding points to the online game, Wu Fan belongs to the full strength, Zhao Yun belongs to the full skill, and both of them are extremely "adding points". Judging from this, this competition must be very exciting, and the suspense is reborn.

Everyone in the audience also responded to the two of them with the same view. The soldiers from Cao's army and Liu Bei's army were cheering for their own military generals, and were also worried about the powerful strength of the other military generals.

However, Cao and Liu Bei were extremely quiet, because they were both extremely cunning figures and would not easily reveal their inner thoughts. They just looked at the two people on the stage quietly, and there was almost no emotional fluctuation on the surface.

Besides, Chongjia actually really wants to write the showdown between the two more exciting and wonderful. However, things went against their wishes, and the showdown process between the two was actually very simple, so simple that Chongjia was embarrassed to describe too much ink to avoid being suspicious of injecting water.

The reason is that Wu Fan is already aware of Zhao Yun's martial arts routines. The difference between Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu is that his reverse scale gun can be soft or hard. Due to his high force and high martial arts proficiency, the martial arts are used quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. However, the general formal routines are unchanged. Wu Fan is not a fool. After a few rounds, he touched Zhao Yun's rhythm and the specialty of the reverse scale gun, and then he specifically selected Zhao Yun's martial arts blind spots to attack.

Basically, when Zhao Yun raised his hand, Wu Fan knew what he was going to do. Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Wu Fan to lose. After a few rounds, Zhao Yun was already in a state of deficit in blood and blood. With surprise and confusion, Zhao Yun finally lost.

This time, not only the onlookers, but even the soldiers of the Cao army were cheering. Compared with Gan Ning, Zhao Yun fought with Cao army much more times, and many Cao army soldiers also knew that this person was of great strength, but now he was easily defeated by Wu Fan. Everyone's surprise and excitement can be imagined.

Zhao Yun had already walked off the martial arts stage in advance, and Wu Fan was the only one left on the stage. Liu Bei then deliberately turned his gaze elsewhere and pretended to be nothing, but in fact, the emotions deep inside were extremely complicated.

Because Guan Yu was killed by Wu Fan, Liu Bei and Wu Fan became enemies. Also, because Zhao Yun is the most powerful general under his command, he is even more powerful than Zhang Fei, who has a slightly higher force, Liu Bei naturally had high hopes for Zhao Yun. He even hoped that Zhao Yun could kill Wu Fan in this competition before he could enjoy it.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yunliao's chaotic and gorgeous martial arts amaze all the viewers, but in front of Wu Fan, he was like a child's trick. Not only did he not even touch Wu Fan's hair, but he was defeated by Wu Fan in just a few rounds.

You can imagine how depressed Liu Bei was at this time.

On the other hand, Liu Bei regarded Wu Fan as his enemy, and Wu Fan's feelings for Liu Bei were not much better. Since Guo Tu said before his death that Liu Bei secretly bribed him to murder Wu Fan, Wu Fan had already made a secret oath: One day he would send Liu Bei to the road.

With this idea, how good did Wu Fan feel about Liu Bei? At this time, Wu Fan, who was standing on the martial arts stage, looked around and glanced at Liu Bei. The cold light shone in his eyes, but it was fleeting.

Such subtle movements were not even noticed by the referee near him, but Cao Dao in the stands turned his head and looked at Liu Bei who was pretending to be nothing, and Cao felt something was thinking.

The next competition is Zhang Fei VS Dian Wei, Hua Xiong VS Wen Chou.

The showdown between Zhang Fei and Dian Wei was unexpected, but it was the most intense since the competition started, and it was also full of suspense. The two men's military power, one was 107 and the other was 102. Dian Wei used less than the force of Zhang Fei's 18 Snake Spear, so it was five points lower than Zhang Fei's martial arts value. However, Dian Wei was a top general in Cao's camp in history, and his martial arts were not a big deal. After death, he still made the enemy dare not approach the enemy after his death. It can be seen that his terrifying point is the best interpretation.

Although Zhang Fei won in the competition in the end, he also used a critical strike to directly make Dian Wei's qi and blood value of five points more than him and was unable to fight again. In other words, the luck that Zhang Fei won in this competition helped him a lot.

The competition between Hua Xiong and Wen Chou is relatively milder. The reason is not that the two of them have low martial arts, but that as sworn brothers, they naturally have to show mercy everywhere in their martial arts and moves to avoid hurting each other. Unlike the Liu Bei and Cao camps, which were separated by Zhang Fei and Dian Wei, who were in a state of hostility, they did not have any scruples during the competition. They just greeted the other party with the strongest moves, which naturally seemed much more intense.

The showdown between Hua Xiong and Wen Chou was finally won, and the "winner's first battle" was all contested. After lunch, six more losers were held, namely: Huang Zhong VS Zhao Yun, Dian Wei VS Wen Chou, Tai Shi Ci VS Gan Ning, Xu Zhu VS Xu Huang, Xiahou Dun VS Sun Ce, Zhang Liao VS Pang De.

The results of these six competitions are:

Huang Zhong VS Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun won.

Dian Wei VS Wen Chou, Dian Wei won.

Taishici VS Ganning, Ganning won.

Xu Zhu vs Xu Huang, Xu Zhu won.

Xiahou Dun vs. Sun Ce, Xiahou Dun won.

Zhang Liao VS Pang De, Zhang Liao won.

In this way, the next round of losers' duel and the rankings they can obtain are predictable, respectively:

Zhao Yun vs Dian Wei, the rankings he can get 5 to 6.

Huang Zhong VS Wen Chou, the rankings he can get 7~8.

Gan Ning VS Xu Zhu, the rankings can be achieved by 9 to 10.

Taishici vs. Xu Huang, the rankings that can be obtained are 2.

Xiahou Dun VS Zhang Liao, the rankings that can be obtained are 13-14.

Sun Ce VS Pang De, the rankings he can get is 15.

The next matchup for the winner is:

Lu Bu VS Wu Fan, Zhang Fei VS Hua Xiong.

The rankings that the four people can obtain are not as clear as those of the losers. It can only be said that the range between 1 and 4 seems to be a nonsense...

This is the end of the day's martial arts competition. Since the results of the showdown were summarized, it seemed that there was nothing in this day's martial arts competition. In fact, there were as many as ten today's competitions. When the last competition between Zhang Liao and Pang De ended, it was already at night, around 8 o'clock in the evening.

The audience, with the pleasure of feasting the eyes, dispersed along the way, either laughing, talking or arguing. The participating generals also returned to the inn.

However, a participating general did not return to the inn. In fact, as early as the afternoon, when the competition was still in progress, the man had already left alone. He brought the burning paper he had bought with his guards to his side to the foot of a barren mountain five miles north of Yecheng, sat in front of a newly established general's tombstone, and silently lit the burning paper.

This person is naturally Wu Fan.

And this newly established tombstone is Qiu Liju and his family.

Wu Fan has always been worried about killing Qiu Liju by himself a few months ago and killing him all over the family. Wu Fan is a talent-loving person, but he has to kill his subordinates with his own hands. This strong sense of contradiction makes him unable to handle it safe. Every time he thinks of this, he feels very nervous.

After spreading a thick stack of burning paper and putting it on the fire, Wu Fan picked up a pot of shochu that he brought with him, poured it in front of the grave, then tilted his head and took a sip, and said to himself:

"General Qiu, I'm here to see you. We didn't finish the last banquet, so you left early. This time, let's continue."

As he said that, poured the wine in front of the grave again, and then raised his head and took a few sips.

After a few times like this, a pot of soybean wine quickly came to an end. The paper burning in front of the grave was almost finished. When the wind blew, the paper ash flew everywhere, making it look very desolate. Wu Fan looked at this scene with his eyebrows. He was always optimistic and good at discovering the fun of life. At this time, he was very abnormally depressed.

There was a sound of horse hooves coming close behind him, and there should be more than one person who heard the sound. Wu Fan did not look back, but the person behind him had already spoken:

"Meng Xuan, it turns out you are here."

The one who made the voice was Cao.

Wu Fan stood up and turned around. Cao had already dismounted at this time, and followed Jia Xu, Li Ru and other advisers. Seeing this scene, Wu Fan guessed that Cao might have something to discuss with him.

Cao did not directly explain the purpose of the trip, but picked up a piece of branch from the ground, broke off the excess branches and leaves, and then used the branch to carry the paper ash of burning paper to make it burn completely. Afterwards, Cao turned around and patted Wu Fan on the shoulder and said:

"I have heard about General Qiu. If anyone is in your position, he will do that, but not everyone will toast three cups like you, and ask him to take action first, and then come here to visit him in person. I believe that if General Qiu knew about it under the spring, he would not blame you. Meng Xuan, the matter has come to this point, and people cannot be resurrected by death, think about it."

Wu Fan said nothing, nodded silently and sighed again. Cao Ze patted his shoulder again to show comfort, and then said:

"We don't disturb General Qiu's quietness. Meng Xuan, please follow me."

After saying that, Cao took a few steps first, Wu Fan followed behind him. The two walked to a hillside and stopped. Jia Xu, Li Ru and others followed behind him and stood far away.

After Cao Yao looked at Yecheng, he turned his head to look at Wu Fan and said:

"Meng Xuan, I have something to discuss with you."

Cao and Wu Fan’s plan was not just one or two times. This was the first time Wu Fan saw Cao so serious. He couldn’t help but be a little surprised and said:

"I don't know what the lord is referring to?"

Cao Dao:

"At this martial arts competition, all the princes and their main warriors gathered in Yecheng. Although the emperor had a three-year truce order, three years later, all the princes would inevitably encircle and conquer our Cao army. Since I had foreseeed the result, I intend to take this opportunity to directly kill all the princes and their main warriors in Yecheng to eliminate future troubles. What do you think? "

Boss Cao really had this idea.
To be continued...
