Daiochan has a strategy; The Oath Of The Peach Garden; Chen Gong makes a descision

Cao Cao explains how his form of cowardice is different to yours; Cao Cao plans an assassination; Rampaging soldiers massacre the people.

Chen Jianbin playing General Cao gives 3 distinctly different forced incincere laughs. Just a hint of the great villain he is building.

I counted at least 6 forms of address for General Cao, repending on the seniority, formality and desire to insult of his interlocutor. Possibly the most intimidating for a watcher new to Chinese film and tv is all the characters and many names each character carries.
