At Yangping Pass, Liu Xun received two completely different pieces of news.
One message was sent back by the messenger Liu Xun sent to Han to see Yang Song. The general idea was that Yang Song had successfully alienated the relationship between Zhao Yun and Zhang Lu.
The other news was sent back by Wind Shadow, who was lurking in Han. The news said that Yang Song's residence had been raided by Zhang Lu, and all men, women, old and young in the residence had been executed.
" Could it be that the messenger has changed sides?" Liu Xun pondered for a moment before continuing to probe.
"Wind Shadow reports that Zhang Song is suspected of having an affair with Yizhou. He has been executed and his corpse is exposed on the streets.”
"The messenger Zhang Lu sent to pacify Zhao Yun is already on the way to Yangping Pass.”
" Order Yan Yan to intercept Zhang Lu's messenger and send a pigeon to inform me of his orders." Liu Xun sent a pigeon to set up a plan.
Two days later, Zhang Lu's messenger arrived at Zhao Yun's camp. Zhao Yun hurriedly went out to welcome him.
" Zhao Yun, listen up. The lord has ordered you to attack Yangping Pass immediately. If you can't take down Yangping Pass within three days, bring your head to me," the messenger said sternly.
Hearing such a brainless order, he was about to defend himself when he suddenly saw the envoy winking with a strange expression.
If something goes wrong, it's a demon.
From the moment Zhang Lu's envoy entered the camp, Zhao Yun felt that something was amiss. There was something indescribable in the envoy's eyes.
Two guards followed behind the messenger, following him like a shadow.
The hands of the two guards were hidden in their sleeves, and the sleeves were pressed against the back of the messenger.
Instinctively, a sharp blade was pressed against the messenger's back.
It was very likely that the messenger was held hostage by two people who looked like guards, which was why he said such strange words and did those strange actions.
With a thought, Zhao Yun already had a countermeasure.
"Zhao Yun will definitely obey my lord's orders. It has been hard on you to send an official from afar. Please serve tea in the camp. "Please take a break. I have a small gift to give you," Zhao Yun probed.
" There's no need. I still have to report to my lord, so I'll take my leave now." The messenger pouted and declined.
" As I expected, this envoy was kidnapped." Zhao Yunxin's heart was bright as she took two steps forward." Officer, please wait. Why are you in such a hurry?" Please accept this small gift."
As soon as the word "accept" was spat out, his fists suddenly struck out with the force of lightning.
"Ah!"
"Ouch!"
Two miserable cries rang out. In the blink of an eye, the two 'guards' of the messenger had broken bones and were lying on the ground groaning.
" Damned thing, I've suffered so much along the way." The messenger felt relieved and kicked the two 'guards' twice.
" Thank you, General Zhao, for saving me. I'm extremely grateful." The messenger bowed deeply to Zhao Yun and was very respectful. He was like a completely different person from when he was delivering Zhang Lu's orders.
" You're welcome." Zhao Yun reached out to help the messenger up." What is the lord's order?" You can tell me now, right?"
" Congratulations, General! Congratulations, General! I would like to ask for a cup of wedding wine from you, General," the messenger said with a joyful expression.
"May I know why I am so happy?”Zhao Yun said inexplicably.
"My lord has already decided to betroth his daughter to General Zhao. After defeating Liu Xun, the marriage will be completed. "General has become the lord's son-in-law. I still have to rely on you in the future." The envoy's face was full of flattery.
"I'm afraid that's not appropriate. The Lord's beloved daughter is of noble birth, and I'm just a martial artist. I don't dare to climb up.”
"Please report to the Lord that Zhao Yun has no second thoughts about Han. Zhao Yunshu could not agree to the marriage proposal. Zhao Yun rejected it decisively, and there was no room for negotiation.
"Could it be that General Zhao already has a wife? It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. "If you don't want my lord's beloved daughter to be a child, then you can be a child. My lord is not an unreasonable person," the messenger advised.
" Please forgive Zhao Yun for hiding something. This matter cannot be mentioned again." Zhao Yun's face was flushed red. She pressed her hand on the hilt of her sword and forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart.
" What's wrong with this Zhao Yun? He looks dignified. Could he be a silver-like wax spear head? He's actually inhumane." The messenger complained bitterly." If he can't complete the mission Zhang Lu gave him, I'm afraid he won't be able to keep his life when he returns this time."”
The envoy began to think about how to protect himself.
"General Zhao, Zhang Lu will definitely not tolerate your refusal. "I can't go back to report now," the messenger said."You saved my life just now, so my life belongs to you now. Are we rebelling?"
Zhao Yunqing knew that the messenger was telling the truth and remained silent for a moment.
In fact, Zhao Yun was not a fool. She had thought of these problems when she rejected the marriage.
" Report, Yan Yan's army has occupied Southern Zheng and cut off our way back." A scout reported, making the atmosphere even more depressing.
" General, we only have three days of rations left. Now that our return route has been blocked, the morale of the army will be unstable if word gets out," the grain officer said in his ear.
"General, make your decision. The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are all in your hands. "A real man who is indecisive will suffer sooner or later," the military adviser also advised.
" Now that our path of return has been blocked, our tens of thousands of troops cannot advance or retreat. General, please make a decision as soon as possible," the deputy general said.
" Report, Liu Xun and Zhang Ren's army are surrounding us. Liu Xun asks General Zhao Yun to speak to him." A soldier hurriedly ran in.
He put on his armor and mounted his horse. When he came out of the camp to take a look, he saw that the surroundings were densely packed with Yizhou troops.
In front of them were strong bows and crossbows, while behind them were large groups of cavalrymen. Zhao Yun took a rough look. The enemy had at least ten thousand cavalrymen.
In front of the Yizhou army, there was a large flag with the word " Liu " written on it. A young general who looked to be in his twenties was commanding the troops to advance slowly.
" Stop!" The young general waved his hand, and the Yizhou army immediately stopped. The bows and crossbows were still aimed at Zhao Yun's army. As long as the young general gave the order, the three armies would fire ten thousand arrows at once.
" Liu Xun, please speak to General Zhao Yun," the young general said loudly. His voice could be heard throughout the entire army, and he was full of vigor. It was obvious that his inner strength had reached a certain level.
Zhao Yun rode out with her spear raised and shouted,"I'm Zhao Yun, please speak."
"General Zhao Yun, haven't you heard that good birds choose trees to live in? Zhang Lu is an incompetent person, why would General Zhao risk his life for him?”Liu Xun said," Moreover, I have already cut off your tens of thousands of troops. In less than three days, your army will collapse without fighting. Liu Mou's words are like gold and jade. Please think twice.”
Liu Xun said this in a high-spirited manner. He had already mastered the Momentum to Swallow the World. The troops on both sides heard his words clearly. Even if Zhao Yun did not surrender, the Han army would still be shaken.
As expected, there was some commotion in Zhao Yun's rear army.
One of the generals led his men and surrendered to Liu Xun's camp.
Although Zhao Yun was a famous general, it was a pity that this army had only been under his command for a short period of time.
He was commanding tens of thousands of Han soldiers as a surrendered general, and it was impossible for him to make the army submit in the short term.
Zhang Lu had no way of managing the army, and the Han army's combat strength was not strong to begin with. Now that they heard that their way back was blocked and that they could not supply food, the cowardly side of human nature immediately gained the upper hand.
"Liu Xun, I can surrender. As long as you can take thirty moves from me, I will make the army surrender. "If you're afraid of death, then forget it." Although Zhao Yun was at a disadvantage, the pride in his bones did not allow him to surrender without fighting.
"My lord, be careful of traps. This Zhao Yun's martial arts skills are really amazing. "Our lord is a man of ten thousand gold. Our army has the advantage now. There's no need to fight him alone," Xu Huang advised.
"A son of a thousand gold will not stand under a dangerous wall. "My lord, Zhao Yun is trying to goad us, we can't fall for it," Yang Huai advised.
"If you don't even dare to take 30 moves from Zhao Yun, wouldn't you be tarnishing Immortal Master Zuo Ci's reputation? "I'd like to see if this Zhao Yun really has three heads and arms," Liu Xun said. Ever since he had mastered the art, he had never met a worthy opponent.
At the age where he was full of vigor, he was eager to give it a try when he encountered Zhao Yun's challenge.
"Alright, I accept your challenge. "Bring it on, Zhao Yun, let me see your Lightning Soul-Shaking Spear." Liu Xun's shocking words revealed Zhao Yun's master's background.
" Kid, you have some skills. Very few outsiders know the name of our Zhao Clan's spear technique. How did this person know? We have to be careful." Zhao Yun was shocked. She unconsciously put away her wild heart and prepared to take Liu Xun seriously.
" You have guts. Let's see if you're really capable or just good at talking," Zhao Yun shouted. She picked up the Night Lion Horse and dragged the silver spear towards Liu Xun.
" Good timing. I'll show you my spear technique," Liu Xun shouted. He rode his Purple Lightning Sun-Chasing Stallion. Gao Ting's Spear of the Other Man actually arrived first. In an instant, he rushed in front of Zhao Yun and engaged him in battle.
One of them was a famous general of the current era, and his spear was like a bolt of lightning, frightening and unpredictable. One of them was a noble brother, a hero of the world. Who else could it be but him? His spear was like a dragon's, and his aura was like a rainbow.
At the climax of the battle, Liu Xun's World-Engulfing Force was fully activated. Lightning flashed on his body. The two spears clashed several times, and Zhao Yun felt a trace of numbness. The circulation of his Genuine Qi was a little difficult.
"This kid's realm is at most the Void Jin realm, which is about the same as that Xu Huang. "However, for no reason, his zhenqi actually contained lightning. Fighting with him was like being struck by lightning, and his martial arts skills were imperceptibly reduced." Zhao Yunxin was extremely depressed.
Seeing that twenty moves had passed, Liu Xun was getting more and more courageous, showing no signs of defeat, Zhao Yun could not hold it in any longer.
He pushed his zhenqi to the limit and changed his spear technique. The sky was filled with the shadows of Zhao Yun's spear. The speed of Zhao Yun's spear became faster and faster. In the end, Liu Xun could not see the path of his spear at all.
Originally, Liu Xun was familiar with Zhao Yun's spear techniques and even knew the weak points of this spear technique.
However, he had forgotten one thing. He had underestimated the strength of the realm of Dao Force.
Spear techniques were dead, but humans were alive.
After entering the realm of Dao-Jin, one would be able to return to the Inborn Realm from the Postnatal Realm, which was a completely different concept from the Void Realm. It was impossible for an Emptiness Realm expert to fire so many spears in a short period of time. The difference between realms depended on one's accumulation and the other was comprehension.
When one's martial arts reached the peak, coupled with one's own comprehension, one would naturally be able to break through. If he didn't have enough time, everything would be in vain.
Zhao Yun had spent a lot of effort to reach the realm of Dao Force. It was extremely difficult for Liu Xun to defeat him now.
If Liu Xun were to retreat now, it would be in time, but he was determined to subdue Zhao Yun, so how could he retreat?
At that moment, he began to display the World-Engulfing Momentum Spear Art, displaying the spear art he had comprehended at the waterfall to his heart's content.
Liu Xun no longer cared about Zhao Yun's spear techniques. He only focused on striking Zhao Yun's body one spear after another. Once the World-Engulfing Spear was unleashed, it was truly unstoppable.
Zhao Yun found Liu Xun's flaws several times and stabbed out with lightning speed. Liu Xun's next move had already filled in the gaps.
As the two spears clashed, Zhao Yun felt that Liu Xun's Thunder Light True Qi was extremely domineering. The advantage of his heavy spear was also brought into play. Zhao Yun felt the pressure from his spear getting heavier and heavier. For a while, he could not do anything to Liu Xun.
However, using the spear like this consumed a lot of True Qi and he couldn't maintain it for long.
Liu Xun's Lightning Sunchaser Horse seemed to sense its master's danger. It raised its front hooves and kicked at Zhao Yun's Night Lion Horse.
The Moonlight Lion Horse was also a handsome horse, but compared to the Lightning Stallion, it was clearly superior.
Unable to withstand the attack of the Lightning Sunchaser Stallion, the Night Illumination Lion Stallion let out a wail and stumbled, knocking Zhao Yun off its horse.
However, Zhao Yun was still Zhao Yun.
After the initial shock, he saw through Liu Xun's weak point. With a swing of the Rotten Silver Spear, he actually broke through Liu Xun's spear momentum.
He raised his spear and aimed it at Liu Xun's heart.
