Lie Fan uses the halberd in his hand and does a sweeping attack from the right, which collides with Zhao Yun's spear causing a loud sound of metal collision, Zhao Yun is taken back by surprise because his master told him when he teaches him this skill that only people with overwhelming power and completely mastered his skill over Zhao Yun could stop Zhqo Yun's attack, and today he finally meet the person described by his master which was Lie Fan.
Zhao Yun, recovering from the initial surprise, swiftly retracted his spear, launching a counterattack with a sweeping motion. However, Lie Fan, with masterful control of his halberd, deflected Zhao Yun's strike with the handle.
Then In a seamless display of his prowess, Lie Fan redirected Zhao Yun's spear in another direction away from him, showing Zhao Yun his prowess and skill over his halberd.
Seizing the opportunity, Lie Fan raised his halberd, a fluid motion that culminated in a powerful downward slash. The air resonated with the sound of the cutting edge, as Zhao Yun skillfully evaded the attack, and used his spear to stab Lie Fan's torso.
Lie Fan who saw this immediately moved his body where Zhao Yun's spear passed through between his torso and arm, then he moved forward and clamped Zhao Yun's spear handle between his body and his arm.
Seizing an opening he saw, Zhao Yun swiftly maneuvered, utilizing his spear as a leverage point. With a calculated kick targeting Lie Fan's torso, where he caught Lie Fan off guard.
The impact jolted off the kick and pushed Lie Fan backward, momentarily disrupting his balance. As Lie Fan staggered, the release of tension allowed Zhao Yun to free his spear.
Without hesitation, he redirected his focus, targeting Lie Fan's arm with a precise and swift thrust. Lie Fan, recovering from the initial strike, deftly evaded the incoming thrust, where he then used his halberd handle to make a sweeping motion targeting Zhao Yun's leg.
The halberd handle cut through the air, a swift calculated sweeping motion targeting Zhao Yun's leg. Zhao Yun managed to evade the strike, and in return, he struck Lie Fan's head with a stabbing motion using his spear.
The mock duel continued, the clash of Lie Fan's halberd and Zhao Yun's spear creating a mesmerizing spectacle in the training ground. As the exchange intensified, Lie Fan and Zhao Yun showcased not only their martial prowess but also their ability to adapt and strategize in the heat of battle.
Meanwhile, Lu Lingqi, who stood on the sidelines alongside Jia Xu, her eyes fixated on the unfolding spectacle. The dance of the halberd and the spear alongside the ebb and flow of the duel fascinated her.
Lie Fan's movements, in particular, resonated with her, reminding her of the martial skill her father, Lu Bu, possessed, especially Lie Fan's mastery in handling his halberd which was very similar to Lu Bu.
With each calculated strike and evasive maneuver, Lu Lingqi found herself drawn deeper into the rhythm of the duel. Lie Fan's martial finesse left an indelible impression, sparking a sense of familiarity that resonated with the legendary prowess of her father.
After some time passed by, Lie Fan and Zhao Yun continued their duel which already passed 200 bouts at this time Lie Fan felt it was enough and the two of them could stop now, especially since Zhao Yun's stats and experiencing it himself already satisfied him.
• Zhao Yun
STR: 915 VIT: 120 AGI: 100 INT: 77
Zhao Yun hearing that Lie Fan said it was time for them to stop, lowered his spear creating a situation where The two warriors stood poised, with a silent acknowledgment passing between them.
Zhao Yun, humbled by the encounter, recognized the depth of Lie Fan's martial skill and a feeling of closeness began to be felt by him toward Lie Fan, he sees Lie Fan now truly as his junior apprentice.
Seeing that Lie Fan and Zhao Yun had finished their duel, all the people in the training ground let out a loud cheer to thank Lie Fan and ZHAO yin for the beautiful spectacle they had just seen.
Lie Fan and Zhao Yun put their weapon on the weapon rack, where they were approached by Lu Lingqi, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, and Ji Ling, who praised both Lie Fam and Zhao Yun in turn, where Zhang Liao and Ji Ling both asked Zhao Yun to have a mock fuel with them sometime.
Zhao Yun was happy that he was being recognized by people outside of Gongsun Zan and his circle, he truly felt welcomed here in Xiapi. Lie Fan seeing that it was already lunchtime, brought everyone alongside him toward the Serenity Inn to enjoy the lavish cuisine there.
At the Serenity Inn, everyone enjoyed the dishes that were served to them, especially Zhao Yun who tasted the dishes for the first time.
Lie Fan could see that Zhao Yun began to feel welcomed and asked him if he wanted to stay at Xiapi longer now since he already knew about Liu Bei's try face and had nowhere else to go.
Zhao Yun stopped eating the dishes before he heard Lie Fan's question, he contemplated by himself for a while before letting out a sigh and agreeing to stay at Xiapi if Lie Fan didn't feel burdened to have him and his 5,000 brothers.
Lie Fan lets out aloud laugh and says that of course he doesn't feel burdened, it's the opposite of that and he was happy to have Zhao Yun here in Xiapi, and so with that the lunch passed by in a happy atmosphere.
After lunch, Zhao Yun then was invited to stay in Lie Clan's Estate guest room by Lie Fan, Zhao Yun was honored but didn't want to accept but under Lie Fan's appeal over and over again, he finally agreed.
Lie Fan feels happy that he at least managed to have Zhao Yun stay at Xiapi, he could see that Zhao Yun began to have a good impression of him, and he planned to raise that all through the roof before he invited Zhao Yun to serve him.
The day passed by bapoiky for Lie Fan, but not for Zhang Ji who was attacked by Cao Cao in Hongnong, he thought that his receiving reinforcement from Zhang Yang would stop Cao Cao from attacking him.
It turns out it was only his own delusion, Cao Cao not only did not attack him but increased his preparation which caused him to receive a very strategic attack, one that he could keep up with.
In the original timeline, Zhang Ji had the help of Jia Xu to fend off Cao Cao for a while, but now since Jia Xu has joined Lie Fan, Zhang Ji was without an advisor and it can be seen that without Jia Xu, Zhang Ji would not last long in Hongnong.
Zhang Ji's Xiliang Cavalry couldn't show its potential in a siege battle, which was a trump card he was always proud of but now it was useless, his nephew Zhang Xiu and his strongest general Hu Che'er were also slowly pushed back by Cao Cao's generals and soldiers.
Zhang Ji could see that with each time passing by, he was slowly losing this battle even with Zhang Yang's reinforcement helping him to fend off Cao Cao, he now realized the importance of having an advisor but it was too late, as he always believes that having a strong military is good enough.
At this time in the main hall of Hongnong's Governor Castle, Zhang Ji was holding an emergency war meeting with all of his retainers attending this meeting, to discuss possible ways for them to fend off Cao Cao.
Zhang Ji: "Everyone do you have any way for us to push back Cao Cao?! Any way can be done as long as it is logical and doesn't put much harm to our overall situation!"
General A: " I'm sorry My Lord but I have no plan that could fend off Cao Cao, his advisor's strategy was too abstract and too hard to read the flow they were using, I only can suggest fit us to hold as long as possible and rely on our supply, making in an attrition battle."
Zhang Xiu: "Are you stupid?! An attrition battle?! Cao Cao had a large domain that could sustain him for a long time ago and the supply line was very safe and secure, you wanted to make it an attrition battle with him?! Stupid idea!"
General B: "Then how about we ask for help from Li Jue? I think Li Jue will definitely accept our request for help considering his last relationship with My Lord!"
Zhang Ji: "He would never accept after what I did separating from him and creating our own force, General Hu do you have any plan you can give to all of us here?"
Hu Che'er: "I'm sorry My Lord, my brain muscle is not as good as my arm and leg muscles, if you ask me I can only give a simple idea that will be crushed by Cao Cao's advisors."
Zhang Ji sighed after hearing what Hu Che'er said and lamented his defeat that would come soon, at his time suddenly from outside the hall a man entered and presented Zhang Ji with a letter, saying that it was given to him by someone who was sent by Cao Cao.
Hearing that it was from Cao Cao, Zhang Ji takes the letter and reads He was surprised by the content of the letter, as it asked him to surrender and he would be given autonomous control over Hongnong and still lead his army.
In return, he pledged his allegiance to him and also killed Yang Feng for him, if that was achieved everything he just promised would be done and there's no need for further bloodshed.
After finishing reading the letter, Zhang Ji was silent for a while which prompted Zhang Xiu to ask him about the content of the letter, where Zhang Ji then told everyone in the hall its content.
After hearing what Zhang Ji said, the hall immediately exploded with some led by Zhang Xiu suggesting that Zhang Ji should agree while some led by Hu Che'er suggested that Zhang Ji should not agree since it was an insult to him.
Zhang Ji feeling was conflicted, but thinking of the continuity of his clan and also his master Tong Yuan's legacy, he finally decided to surrender and announced his decision, Zhang Xiu and his group rejoiced while Hu Che'er and his group were disappointed, but Zhang Ji doesn't care about this as he appointed Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er to work together and kill Yang Feng the condition requested by Cao Cao to him for him to have an autonomous control over Hongnong.

Zhang Ji feeling was conflicted, but thinking of the continuity of his clan and also his master Tong Yuan's legacy, he finally decided to surrender and announced his decision, Zhang Xiu and his group rejoiced while Hu Che'er and his group were disappointed, but Zhang Ji doesn't care about this as he appointed Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er to work together and kill Yang Feng the condition requested by Cao Cao to him for him to have autonomous control over Hongnong.
Zhang Ji, with a firm resolve, concluded the meeting, instructing Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er to work together and eliminate Yang Feng, fulfilling the condition set by Cao Cao for autonomous control over Hongnong.
Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er, accepted his orders without hesitation even though Hu Che'er was disappointed with Zhang Ji's decision. They recognized the gravity of the situation and the importance of preserving Zhang Ji's legacy, so they united under Zhang Ji's command.
As the assembly dispersed, Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er immediately set about preparing their mem for the impending mission. The air in their military camp crackled with a mix of tension and determination as their men readied themselves for the crucial task they have just received from Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er.
Zhang Ji, knowing the weight of his decision, began the preparations for surrendering to Cao Cao. His wife Lady Zou hearing that Zhang Ji will surrender to Cao Cao, tried to give him moral support to keep fighting against Cao Cao but Zhang Ji denied it and said that his decision was final.
On Cao Cao's side, his spy who managed to infiltrate Hongnong return with the news of Zhang Ji's decision, causing Cao Cao to laugh out loud because this means not only will he receive Hongnong, but also Zhang Ju's soldiers and his retainer.
He will of course grant the promised autonomous control over Hongnong and Zhang Ji's army to Zhang Ji, as he needs defence line on the west against Li Jue, Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yan.
The inclusion of Hongnong to his domain also allow Luoyang to finally receive much needed horses and goods from the west whom passed through Hongnong, because they halted the merchant caravans and wagons from passing through Hangu Pass for security reasons.
Now with Hongnong as his frontier on the west side of his domain, the horses and goods could be traded there and then send to Luoyang, to rebuild it's prosperity and not having it's economy being subsidized by Cao Cao's treasury much longer.
So both Cao Cao and Zhang Ji begun their preparation with the former to usurp Yang Feng's Army after he died, and Zhang Ji preparing his men and also a banquet to welcome Cao Cao inside Hongnong.
All of these movements want unknown by the oblivious Yang Feng, who was preparing his men alongside Xu Huang on his side, he wanted to had the highest contribution and ask for Cao Cao to appoint him as the Governor of Hongnong.
Yang Feng: "Gongming I want for you to unleash all of your might today, if we managed to have the biggest contribution in the fall of Hongnong, I can request for the Governorship of Hongnong which will expand our power to save Your Majesty!"
Xu Huang: "Yes General! But I think Your Majesty doesn't need any help General, because Lord Cao Cao have given him protection in Xuchang and supported all the edicts that come out from Xuchang."
Yang Feng: "Gongming this is your shortcoming! You are to simple minded and to self disciplined causing yo to lack friends and social interactions, which was needed for you to see the political intrigue that was happening in Xuchang!"
Xu Huang: "I'm not interested in the political struggle General, I just say what I see which was Lord Cao Cao was the only one who cared for Your Mahesty as he comes to save him, not even Lie Fan who in the past known for his loyalty to come and help Your Majesty when he was chased by Li Jue and Guo Si!"
Yang Feng: "Hah.. It's because Lie Fan was never loyal to the Han Dynasty in the first place, maybe when he was young and fighting against the Yellow Turbans yes, but either the power or reality of the Han Dynasty that caused him to not loyal to the Han Dynaaty anymore."
Xu Huang who wanted to reply Yang Feng's word suddenly was stopped due to the two of them hearing the War drum from Zhang Ji's side was sounded, due to them being placed as the Vanguard Yang Feng and Xu Huang immediately ordered their men to eter attacking formation.
Yang Feng and Xu Huang was further surprised as they saw that Zhang Ji and Zhang Yang's Army are leaving Hongnong and began to enter their formation, which was ridiculous in their opinion because they have a much better chance at winning if they does a siege battle.
Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai, and Jia Kui also saw what happened from their War Tent, the three of the didn't expect that Zhang Ji choose the most direct way to kill Yang Feng which was an open field battle, as he have hunger chance to kill Yang Feng in it than a siege battle.
Cao Coa ordered for the war drum to be sounded, but relat a secret order to let Yang Feng as the Vanguard to head out first and his army slowly flowed his lead, before they receive the sound of surrender from Zhang Ji, Cao Cao ordered for his men to reduce contact with Zhang Ju's men as much as possible.
Cao Cao's general who received Cao Cao's order was confused, but since it was Cao Cao's request they followed it without at question whatsoever, and so the first contact of the battle was between Zhang Ji's men and Yang Feng's men, with Cao Cao's men followed slowly from behind of Yang Feng's men.
Yang Feng and Xu Huang was fighting side by side at the frontline, leading their men from the front personally assisting each other. Yang Feng was confused as to why Cao Cao's men haven't arrived yet, but he soon forgot about that thought as he was fighting left and right.
At this time, Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er alongside Zuo Ling and Zhang Quan which was two of Zhang Ji's best generals after the two of them, suddenly appeared together in front of Yang Feng and Xu Huang.
Seeing these four men, Yang Feng and Xu Huang knew that these four wasn't an easy opponent especially Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er who let out a strong aura stronger than the other two.
Before Yang Feng could even speak, Zuo Ling and Zhang Quan both attacked Yang Feng while Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er attacked Xu Huang, splitting the two them right at that time and they was brought to an opposite direction.
Xu Huang seeing this thinks that he was tried to be cornered and then killed, so he was fighting with all of his might trying to save himself and also Yang Feng who was brought to other direction.
Xu Huang full might was powerful but the combined might of Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er managed to suppress it and allow them to have a 2 on 1 duel with neither side have the advantage.
Xu Huang began to be restless seeing as he was blocked by both Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er causing him to be angered more and more with each time passed by as he can't support Yang Feng.
His power began to slowly break through his bottleneck, allowing him to enter a new realm of power which slowly managed to pushed back Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er at the same time.
Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er was sweating profusely while defending themselves from Xu Huang's counterattack, their plan was to block Xu Huang a strong variable away from Yang Feng, while Zuo Ling and Zhang Quan will kill Yang Feng and brought his head.
It was at this time that suddenly a liud shout can be heard by Zhang Xiu, Hu Che'er, and Xu Huang which was telling for Zhang Ji's men to stand down and soon a war drum sound was heard, but it was a universal command telling an army to stand down.
Xu Huang was confused while both Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er was ecstatic that their plan have worked, when Zhang Ji's army finally stand down the three of them saw Zhang Ji riding his horse bringing three heads alongside him.
Xu Huang who saw one of the head was shocked and soon engulfed by anger, he rushed toward Zhang Ji riding his horse as fast as possible, but before he could reached Zhag Ji, he was managed to be stopped by Zhang Xiu and Hu Che'er.
This caused the three of them to have a duel once again, but at his time Cao Cao alongside his advisors and generals arrived at the battlefield, seeing the 2 on 1 duel with Xu Huang showing that he was winning the power balance, Cao Cao send out Xu Chu to help stop Xu Huang.
With Xi Chu's entered the mix, Xu Huang was soon managed to be stopped and without a byword Xu Chu brought Xu Huang toward Cao Cao and Zhang Ji who now come face to face, having a conversation.
Xu Huang: "Lord Cao Cao! The man in front of you needed to be killed to change my brother Yang Feng! If you grant me this wish, I'm willing to serve yo for the rest of my life!"
Zhang Ji: "Silence you fool of a man, I'm not the one who killed your Brother but it was these two men who's head I brougj alongside me, I wanted to surrender to Lord Cao Cao after several days of bate, but these two men relay a false order and caused an field battle t be staged causing the death of not just your brother, but my men and your brother's men!"
Xu Huang: "Nonsense! Impossible! Lord Cao Cao don't believe his lies!"
Zhang Ji: "I think you knew yourself the skill of your so called brother, can he takes on two younger generals who are more powerful than him by himself hmm? From the looks of your eye, I think you have known the answer."
Cao Cao: "General Xu Huang I'm sorry for the death of your Brother Yang Feng, he was a good man and a good warrior but not only just that but a loyal man to Your Majesty! Don't worry, I will give him a proper burial and also execute the clans of these two men who cause the death of your brother."
Xu Huang who heard what Cao Cao said, gets down to his knees letting his tears out while thanking Cao Cao and also vowed that he will serve Cao Cao for the rest of his life alongside the thousands of brother around him, not knowing that Cao Cao was happy in his heart while Zhang Ji was relieved that the scheme he prepared himself alone and no one else knew about it worked like a charm, and survived from potential execution that suddenly appeared due to Xu Huang..
