"What?" Upon hearing the scout's report, Qiao Mao collapsed to the ground. He never expected Wang Han to be so powerful. In a short time, Wang Han had killed all the generals he had brought and routed thousands of soldiers.
"Announce to the entire army: kill him! Tear him to pieces! Whoever kills him will be promoted to general and rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold!" Qiao Mao declared angrily. He was now filled with regret. Even if he killed Wang Han today, the loss of all the generals he had brought would be too great for him. Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets. Without killing Wang Han, he could not quell the hatred in his heart.
"My lord, my lord, please flee with us!" A moment later, the soldier who had just brought the news stumbled in, saying mournfully, "My lord, you must flee! That Marquis of Dingshan is too powerful, like a demon god descended to earth. Swords and spears cannot strike him, arrows cannot hit him. With a swing of his broadsword, he cuts several, even a dozen, men in two. The soldiers in the camp not only failed to harm him in the slightest, but they couldn't even stop him. The soldiers are now suffering heavy casualties, and morale has collapsed. Many soldiers have already deserted."
"What?" Qiao Mao stared at the soldier who brought the news in disbelief. In such a short time, Wang Han had already shattered the morale of the army, and many soldiers had even deserted. And Wang Han was just one man.
"My lord, let's go quickly, or it will be too late!" the messenger shouted anxiously. "The Marquis of Dingshan is truly too powerful."
"Ah ah..." Seeing the soldiers who were killed by Wang Han again, the soldiers in Qiao Mao's camp who were still fighting felt a chill in their hearts and dared not go forward anymore. They only dared to surround Wang Han from a distance and dared not make any rash moves.
Seeing this, Wang Han directly carried his large cleaver and walked towards Qiao Mao's military tent. Although the surrounding soldiers knew that Wang Han was going to kill their lord Qiao Mao, none of them dared to step forward to stop him, and could only watch as Wang Han entered Qiao Mao's military tent.
"My lord, hurry and leave!" Upon seeing Wang Han enter the military tent, the soldier who came to persuade Qiao Mao to leave shouted to Qiao Mao and then rushed towards Wang Han.
"Pfft..." The blade flashed quickly, and the soldier's body was split in two.
After Wang Han killed the soldier who tried to protect his lord with a single blow, he looked at Qiao Mao and said, "The sun hasn't completely set yet, Qiao Mao. I said I would bring your head back and put it on the table before the sun completely sets, and I won't break my promise."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Mao collapsed to the ground in despair, never expecting to die in such a humiliating way.
...
When Wang Han walked out of Qiao Mao's military tent carrying Qiao Mao's head, the soldiers outside who had not yet fled silently dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground, too afraid to move.
Wang Han glanced at the soldiers, said nothing, and strode away from Qiao Mao's camp with Qiao Mao's head in his hand.

"Report..." The scout rushed into Cao Cao's camp, his face full of fear, and said, "Reporting to my lord, it's Lord Dingshan, Lord Dingshan."
"What happened?" Cao Cao was startled upon hearing this, thinking that Wang Han had really been killed by Qiao Mao. He said anxiously, "Tell me!"
Xi Zhicai even plopped down on the ground.
The scout, still unable to conceal the terror in his eyes, trembled as he said, "Lord Dingshan, Lord Dingshan encountered Qiao Mao's army camp. He was ambushed by Qiao Mao's many generals leading thousands of soldiers. However, in a short time, Lord Dingshan killed over a thousand men, routed his thousands of soldiers, and slaughtered all of Qiao Mao's generals. Then, Lord Dingshan stormed into Qiao Mao's camp through the main gate. Immediately, shouts of battle erupted. In less than half an incense stick's time, a large number of soldiers hastily fled. Lord Dingshan emerged from Qiao Mao's camp unharmed, carrying Qiao Mao's head. When I, your subordinate, risked my life to go in, I saw limbs and severed bodies everywhere. There were no fewer than five thousand dead and wounded. The remaining soldiers had all abandoned their armor and knelt trembling, too afraid to move."
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao was completely stunned, even feeling a chill run down his spine. Wang Han had actually managed to kill thousands of people in one fell swoop; this was beyond mere bravery, it was terrifying. Now he finally understood why his scouts were so panicked despite Wang Han's great victory. It seemed that from now on, whoever Wang Han wanted to kill would surely die.
"Our lord has truly succeeded! Hahaha..." Xi Zhicai exclaimed joyfully upon hearing this. Wang Han was his lord, and with Wang Han's current prestige, all the other lords would surely fear him in the future. The chances of Wang Han and their plan to achieve lasting fame were even greater.
In the military tents of the other lords, the various lords who received the news were also shocked. They felt a chill down their spines, as if a sharp blade was already at their necks, ready to take their heads at any moment. They couldn't help but carefully ponder what Wang Han had said today and firmly remember the rules he had established.
They finally understood why Wang Han had informed them of the three rules instead of discussing them together. It was because Wang Han had already established the rules, and given his power to kill them at any time, they had no choice but to abide by them, or face death.
——————————
As soon as Wang Han arrived at Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai led some of their generals to greet him.
"Hahaha..." Cao Cao laughed and said, "Truly worthy of being the invincible Marquis of Dingshan, taking the head of the enemy lord from among ten thousand troops is as easy as eating and drinking. The three rules established by the Marquis of Dingshan will surely save countless people from the suffering of war and will be remembered for generations to come."
"My lord, from today onwards, no one will dare to violate the rules you have established," Xi Zhicai said happily.
"You flatter me. It is my honor to be able to do my part for the people." Wang Han nodded and said with great pride, "I not only want no one to dare to violate the rules I have set in the future, but I also want no one to dare to violate the rules I have set in the long future."
"Lord Wang, you must be tired and hungry." Cao Cao glanced at the setting sun, which was now just a sliver of light, and said to Wang Han, "The sun has just set behind the western mountains. I have prepared a sumptuous feast for you, Lord Wang, and have been waiting for you. Please..."

"My lord, Lord Dingshan, Lord Xi Zhicai." Xiahou Yuan entered the military tent and reported to the men who were eating: "The various lords have just sent envoys, saying that they are willing to abide by the rules set by Lord Dingshan, and that tomorrow at noon, they are willing to swear an oath to all of us by killing each other in blood and jointly abide by the rules set by Lord Dingshan."
