Soon after Zhang Song left, soldiers from Jingzhou arrived. Liu Gui led his troops out of the city first and deployed them outside Luocheng to stabilize the situation.
Liu Xun was fully dressed in armor, wearing a silver helmet and silver armor. He stood out from the crowd surrounded by the Shu army. In the reflection of the morning sun, his whole body was shining and he looked heroic.
Seeing Liu Qi wearing only a brocade robe in front of the battle line, guarded by more than ten generals on both sides, especially Wu Yi and others in the battle line, made him feel uncomfortable.
"Liu Qi, I have challenged you several times, but you have been reluctant to accept the challenge. Are you afraid of me?"
Liu Qi shook his head and said, "The two-month truce is just to let you reflect on yourself. I hope you can understand the current situation. Why are you so stubborn? Why don't you understand?"
"Hmph, haven't you heard that a real man has things he does and things he doesn't do?" Liu Xun raised his gun and shouted, "I fell into your trap last time. Do you dare to fight me in an upright manner?"
Before Liu Qi could reply, a young general came out and said sternly, "Liu Xun, the court is in chaos and the emperor is in trouble. Instead of working hard to revive the Han Dynasty, you are fighting among your own people. You are unworthy of being a relative of the Han Dynasty. How can you face our ancestors?"
Liu Xun was furious and asked, "Who are you to dare to teach me a lesson?"
The man clasped his fists and said, "I am the son of Luo Hou Kou Shi, Kou Feng!"
Liu Xun sneered, "How dare you, a member of a side branch, talk about the affairs of the royal family? You are courting death!"
Seeing that Kou Feng was young and had no reputation, he wanted to go out and fight, and kill a general first to establish his prestige.
Liu Qi said: "You are just an unknown general, why bother to fight? Your opponent is Liu Qi, I will leave him to you!"
Liu Xun ordered Liu Gui to go into battle, and the two fought in front of the formation. Seeing that they were still tied after thirty rounds, Liu Xun was secretly shocked that a minor general could actually fight back and forth with Liu Gui.
Looking at Liu Qi's indifferent expression on his horse, he couldn't help but frown. Why are there so many talented people in the Jingzhou army
In fact, in Liu Qi's opinion, Kou Feng's martial arts were not bad, and he was from a prominent family. Under the guidance of Liu Qin, he had extraordinary knowledge and could be said to be a man of both civil and military talents.
Liu Feng is definitely one of the most underrated characters among the heroes of Shu Han. He made many contributions when he entered Shu. If it were not for his awkward identity, he would have become a general in the later period.
"Uncle Zilong, what do you think of Kou Feng's martial arts?" Liu Qi took the opportunity to inquire about Zhao Yun's martial arts, remembering that Kou Feng had praised Zhao Yun's martial arts several times and wanted to learn from him.
Zhao Yunduan sat on his horse, his eyes calm, "His spear skills seem sharp, but they are too rigid and not flexible enough. The spear moves lightly and nimbly. If he only relies on brute force to overpower others, it is better to use a knife!"
Zhang Fei was very unhappy when he heard this. He tilted his neck and asked, "Hey, Zilong, what do you think of my martial arts?"
Zhao Yun shook his head helplessly: "Yide was born with supernatural powers, so he is not included in this category!"
Zhang Fei glared: "Hey, so you mean my martial arts are not as good as yours?"
Seeing his provocative expression, Zhao Yun knew that he wanted to challenge him again, so he continued to comment: "Kou Feng is very strong, but his martial arts are mixed and not refined, and his spear skills are sluggish. It seems that he has combined the moves of many people. It is very likely that he has been taught by many people."
This is really the case where the layman watches the excitement while the expert sees the details!
Liu Qi sighed. He only saw the two men fighting back and forth in front of the battle. It was very intense, but he couldn't see the specific moves. He sighed:
"Kou Feng is a rare general. If he can get guidance from Uncle Zilong, his martial arts will surely improve greatly. Our army will have another powerful general."
Although Zhao Yun was usually taciturn, he was not a rigid person. He heard the hidden meaning of Liu Qi's words and nodded, saying, "We are all working for the country. If Kou Feng is willing to learn, Yun will definitely teach him everything he knows."
"Hey, Zilong, this is not good, is it?" Zhang Fei shouted, "Kou Feng is my general, how can you openly poach him?"
The generals couldn't help laughing. Liu Xun saw this from a distance and was so angry that he gritted his teeth!
When the two armies faced each other, Liu Qi and his men were chatting and laughing as if no one was around, which clearly showed that they did not take him seriously, so he ordered the troops to retreat.
The two generals returned to their camps. Liu Qi's face turned pale. He had fought for more than fifty rounds without taking down a single general and was nearly injured. This made him, a famous general in Sichuan, lose face!
Kou Feng was sweating profusely. He returned to the battle line and asked, "I was just about to kill Liu Qi. Why are you all laughing?"
Zhang Fei snorted: "Zhao Zilong thinks you are a promising talent and wants to teach you martial arts. Are you willing to stay..."
Before he finished speaking, Kou Feng was surprised and dismounted from his horse, kneeling before Zhao Yun's horse: "Thank you for your support, General. I am willing to follow you and listen to your teachings sooner or later!"
"Good boy..." Zhang Fei was furious, "You ungrateful bastard, you ungrateful bastard!"
Kou Feng chuckled, turned around and clasped his fists, saying, "General Zhang is also an extraordinary martial artist, but his moves are too fierce. I am really far behind him. I want to learn but I am unable to do so. I hope you can forgive me."
Zhang Fei's face looked better now, and he looked at Zhao Yun: "Zilong, you heard it, this guy is just a second choice!"
Kou Feng waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, I have absolutely no such intention..."
"Don't go too far!" Liu Xun saw the enemy soldiers laughing and making noises as if no one was around, and he could no longer hold back. He rushed out and shouted, "Liu Qi, how can we have two armies facing each other?"
When Liu Qi saw the secret signal on the top of the city wall, his expression changed instantly and he said angrily: "Why do you have to interfere in my military affairs? Capture this man for me!"
Zhang Fei was already eager to try: "I'll do it!"
"I am willing to go!" Wu Yi also stepped forward.
"Wait a minute!" Liu Qi hurriedly stopped the two of them, frowning and saying, "You two are elders. Let's not talk about the big bullying the small, but bullying the few with the many is a bit too much, isn't it?"
Wu Yi clasped his fists and said, "My nephew is ignorant of current affairs, and I should be the one to teach him a lesson!"
Zhang Fei said angrily: "If you think so, he is still my nephew!"
Liu Qi sighed and said, "After all, Liu Xun is from the same clan as me. Although he is a little stupid, we should not kill him, lest we damage the relationship."
Chen Dao, who was watching the situation, also stepped out and said, "I have fought with Liu Xun before. It only takes ten rounds to capture him!"
Wu Yi was eager to make a contribution, so he said hurriedly: "Five rounds will be enough!"
Zhang Fei shouted: "I only need one move!"
Liu Qi had no choice but to say, "Let's play rock-paper-scissors among the three of you. Whoever wins goes!"
Zhang Fei held his spear horizontally on his horse and pointed it at Wu Yi: "Come on, come on, give him two punches first!"
"How can this be!" Liu Xun saw that the men in front of the battle line were actually arguing, as if he was already in their hands, and he would let them do whatever they wanted. He urged his horse forward and shouted, "Don't go too far!"
The three men were naturally unmoved as they had not received any orders from Liu Qi. They were anxious to decide the winner first. They formed a circle with three horses and played finger-guessing games in the formation.
"Brothers, five leaders, eight horses..."
Zhang Fei's loud voice was so loud that it shook the heavens, causing an uproar among the soldiers of both armies. This scene was simply unheard of.
In front of the three armies, Liu Xun felt like a monkey being fooled in the street. He urged his horse to rush forward, his face flushed and he shouted angrily: "All three of you, come at me together!"
Liu Qi saw that the time had come and ordered Zhao Yun, "Quickly capture Liu Xun!"
Zhao Yun's eyes were slightly stern, and he tapped the horse's belly lightly. The horse under his crotch then galloped out like an arrow from a bow, heading straight for the irrational Liu Xun.
Liu Qi smiled at Kou Feng and said, "Watch carefully and learn well!"
