As Xiahou Dun's figure appeared in the Deyang Palace Hall, the persuasion was nearing its end.
Liu Xie miraculously agreed to Cao Cao's two requests.
"What?! You said that you had Xiahou Dun give half of the Tiger Tally to the little Emperor? You're crazy! I don't want to listen to the little Emperor's orders!”Zhang Wu used too much force in his excitement and smashed the table in front of him into wood chips.
The Tiger Tally was a military talisman used to mobilize troops in ancient times. It was made of bronze or gold and was in the shape of a tiger. It was split into two halves. One half was given to the general, and the other half was kept by the emperor. Only when the two tiger talismans were used at the same time would the holder obtain the right to mobilize troops.
In this way, wouldn't Boss Cao still have to be held hostage by the little Emperor?
Zhang Wu felt that Guo Jia's idea was terrible.
Guo Jia secretly clicked his tongue. This young man looked harmless, but he didn't expect him to be so strong. As expected of the fierce general that Cao Cao talked about every day.
"General Ziqian, if the lord didn't have the emperor's Tiger Tally, would you listen to his orders?”
"Aren't you going to talk nonsense?"
" By the same logic, those who are loyal to the lord can naturally continue to be dispatched by the lord. Those who do not listen to orders are naturally those who are loyal to the Han Dynasty. We can use this opportunity to distinguish them, and then..." Guo Jia smiled and made a throat-cutting gesture.
"Uh..." Zhang Wu smiled awkwardly. So there was such a thing. His understanding of ancient times came from the television dramas he watched in his previous life. The television dramas did not have the tiger talisman. Even if the emperor came, it would not work. In the end, were these things all lies? He thought that after he transmigrated, the little butterfly's wings would flap fiercely and Cao Cao would directly pledge allegiance to the emperor.
After drinking a few cups of wine, Guo Jia felt a little dizzy and wanted to drag Zhang Wu out for fun.
The place where the prodigal Guo Jia had fun, Zhang Wu could easily guess that it was the kind of place that was not suitable for children.
The two of them pulled at each other for a while. Zhang Wu was too lazy to waste time with him, so he reached out and knocked Guo Jia on the back of his head. It was really pitiful for a genius of a generation to faint so muddle-headedly.
After Zhang Wu and Guo Jia settled down, the gates of the Cai Residence opened, and Cai Yong led a group of servants to kneel neatly in the front courtyard.
Cao Cao held a bright yellow roll in his hand and sat on the stone steps at the door. He pointed at Zhang Wu and shouted,""That brat, what are you staring at? Get over here and receive the decree.”
Zhang Wu raised his hand and cupped his fists." If my lord wants to read it, then read it. I won't kneel when I see the emperor. It's just an imperial edict. It's not worthy of me kneeling."”
Cai Yong, who was kneeling in the courtyard, blew his beard and glared at him: "Disobeying the decree is a serious crime. Zhang Ziqian, are you going to disobey the decree?”
"Don't say anything. Perhaps the imperial edict is to betroth your daughter to me. If not, I'll go to the backyard to talk to Zhao Ji.”
Cao Cao laughed and scolded,"You've received great benefits from others, yet you're still unwilling to kowtow to them."”
"What are you saying? After all, I'm still Liu Xie's savior. When I killed Fatty Dong, he didn't even kowtow twice to me.”
Calling the emperor's name directly and even speaking disrespectfully, Cai Yong almost fainted from anger. He could not understand how such a weirdo could have appeared in the Han Dynasty for 400 years. His daughter had even secretly fallen in love with him. He did not know what sin she had committed.
"Hahaha, Marquis Champion, you're so bold.”Cao Cao's heart was filled with joy. Only a general who was not afraid of the imperial power and was completely loyal to him was worthy of his nurturing. If Zhang Wu was concerned about the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao would not be able to sleep.
"In accordance with the weather and the times, I have received this order. Chen Liu and Zhang Wu have rendered meritorious service in helping the Han Dynasty. I am specially conferred the title of General of the Flying Cavalry and Champion County Marquis. It is also said that Cai has a daughter, virtuous and virtuous, special permission to marry her, the emperor issued an edict to complete.”
Back when Zhang Wu promised Cai Yan, Cao Cao was also present, so he naturally didn't mind doing Zhang Wu a favor.
"Ziqian, why aren't you here to receive the decree? Could it be that you want me to send it to you?”
"No need, no need. Hehe, thank you, my lord.”
"Humph! Zhang Ziqian, the lord said that you are the bravest general in the world. Do you dare to accept my challenge?”
Zhang Wu had long noticed that the burly man behind Cao Cao had been staring at him. So it was Xiahou Dun.
"System."
Name: Xiahou Dun
[Strength: 96]
[Commander: 82]
Intelligence: 64
Political Affairs: 56
[Skill: 1. Heroic spirit: 3 strength for each injury, maximum 9]
2.[Courage: Strength 2 temporarily during a battle.]
Zhang Wu waved his hand." Forget it, General Xia Hou. We're brothers. Why should we hurt each other's feelings?"”
To be honest, Zhang Wu really did not want to fight Xiahou Dun. Firstly, sparring in the same camp did not count points. Secondly, although Xiahou Dun had reached the level of a Peerless Valiant General, he was still a relatively weak Peerless. His maximum strength was only 107. Moreover, his first skill was too strange. Zhang Wu did not believe that anyone could continue fighting after being injured in front of him.
Xiahou Dun glared at him. You're looking down on me."
"Hahaha, yes."
Hmm?
Xiahou Dun almost exploded on the spot. What did this 'hmm' mean?
"Ziqian, my cousin has been obsessed with martial arts since he was young. You should give him some pointers so that he can give up.”Cao Cao felt helpless. He did not plan to bring Xiahou Dun with him this time. Instead, he was more inclined to the more stable Xiahou Yuan. Xiahou Dun insisted on coming because he wanted to see the number one in the world.
"Then let me make this clear first. If you fight with me, General Xia Hou, don't worry about your weapon.”
Xiahou Dun stood proudly and said disdainfully,""This iron spear of mine is forged from refined iron and weighs 36 jin. If you can injure it, it will be considered your ability.”
Zhang Wu was amused.
You must be very proud of a thirty-six-pound solid iron spear. It's as thin as a thumb.
Zhang Wu didn't say anything else. He took out the Overlord Spear and made an inviting gesture to Xiahou Dun after everyone in the courtyard had left.
The moment he saw the other party's weapon, Xiahou Dun felt his face burn. Compared to the Overlord Spear, the iron spear in his hand was as weak as a straw.
At this moment, Xiahou Dun finally understood that he could not fight head-on with the other party. A person who could pick up such a divine weapon must have divine power. He might really be able to hurt the weapon in his hand.
He raised his spear and went straight for Zhang Wu's lower three roads.
In fact, Xiahou Dun had already admitted defeat at this moment. A battle general's martial arts skills were all on horseback. Who dared to attack the lower part of the enemy's body on the battlefield? Before he could succeed, the other party could use the momentum of the horse to charge up and pierce his throat with a spear.
Zhang Wu was amused by his opponent's moves. He lifted his leg and kicked the end of the Overlord Spear. Under the huge impact, the Overlord Spear was like a pendulum as it collided with the iron spear with a clang. It sent Xiahou Dun flying and rolling on the ground.
Xiahou Dun rolled a few times and got up from the ground.""Cough cough, this doesn't count. Again.”
"Again?"
Zhang Wu really didn't want to bully him. Xiahou Dun's combat strength was only 98 with the buff of Bravery, while Zhang Wu's basic combat strength was an exaggerated 115 with the buff of Spear Spirit. It was as if the two of them were separated by a natural moat.
Instant kill was inevitable.
However, Xiahou Dun did not intend to give up. He held his spear with both hands and charged straight at him.
Zhang Wu held the Overlord Spear with one hand, turned around, and swung the great spear in a circle. He struck forward with all his might. The Overlord Spear's spearhead was too big. At this moment, it brought with it a whistling wind as if it was a battle axe falling from the sky and striking the ground.
Xiahou Dun was dumbstruck and could only do another lazy donkey roll.
Boom!
When the spearhead landed on the ground, everyone in the courtyard could clearly feel the ground beneath their feet tremble. The rows of bluestone slabs on the ground instantly turned into dust.
Gulp!
Xiahou Dun was truly convinced this time. He swallowed his saliva with difficulty.
"Do you still want to fight? If you continue to hit me, I'll be serious."
How was this a human? It was clearly a bear in human skin. No, even a bear couldn't have such strength.
Xiahou Dun shook his head like a rattle-drum. He threw his spear aside and said sincerely,""Champion Hou Yongwu, I'm convinced."
