Chapter 196: Changes in Yizhou

The confrontation between Xuanyuan Feiyan and Zuo Yongyu has entered a white-hot stage.

The two figures shuttled back and forth quickly in the field, with swords and sabers flashing and shadows interweaving, so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.

Every time they clashed, there was a crisp sound of metal colliding, stirring up clouds of dust.

Zuo Yongyu held a long sword with a cold glow on the blade. His movements were swift and steady, and every time he struck out his sword, it was a perfect combination of strength and speed.

His eyes were focused and sharp, closely following every move of Xuanyuan Feiyan.

Xuanyuan Feiyan held a thin sword, the blade of which was slender and resembled flowing water. His figure was light and graceful, like a fluttering swallow, agile and elegant.

His swordsmanship emphasizes speed and skill, and each sword strike carries a fierce momentum.

"The speed of these two people is really amazing!" One of the soldiers couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yeah, I can hardly see their movements!" another person echoed.

On the sidelines, Zhong Xiaodan and Zhou Liangwei were closely watching the match on the field.

Zhong Xiaodan narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered, "Xuanyuan Feiyan is fast, but when launching a fatal attack, the preparation time is too long. This is his weakness."

Zhou Liangwei nodded, a glint of understanding flashing in his eyes. "Indeed, his attack requires charging, and General Zuo's reaction speed is enough to counterattack him while he is charging."

Zhong Xiaodan smiled slightly: "Xianyu Linyuan also had a habit when attacking just now. It seems that this is a common problem when attacking in the Western Regions. Study it, it will be useful in the future."

The other generals around him gradually understood Zhong Xiaodan's intentions.

They realized that this competition was not only for learning from each other, but also to study the weaknesses of Western martial arts and prepare for future battles.

Xuanyuan Feiyan was already a little out of breath at this time. He felt that Zuo Yongyu was under increasing pressure, and his speed seemed to be unable to suppress the opponent.

He couldn't help but feel anxious: "How could this happen? My speed is clearly my advantage, so why doesn't it work on him?"

Zuo Yongyu noticed his hesitation and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "General Xuanyuan, your speed is indeed amazing, but on a real battlefield, speed alone is not enough."

Xuanyuan Feiyan was not willing to be outdone and snorted coldly: "Really? Then try this!" After he said that, his body suddenly accelerated, and the sword light pierced Zuo Yongyu's chest like lightning.

A hint of admiration flashed in Zuo Yongyu's eyes, but he did not panic. He turned his body to the side to avoid the fatal blow, then swung his sword back and aimed it at Xuanyuan Feiyan's side.

Xuanyuan Feiyan retreated hastily, but it was too late. He gritted his teeth, stabbed his sword into the ground, and with the support of the sword, he flipped his body in the air, narrowly avoiding the sword.

"Good skills!" Zuo Yongyu praised, but his attack did not stop. He swung his sword again, forcing Xuanyuan Feiyan to retreat repeatedly.

The audience in the audience exclaimed in surprise. Some were amazed at Zuo Yongyu's strength, while others were worried about the danger Xuanyuan Feiyan was in.

Zhong Xiaodan frowned slightly at this time: "Xuanyuan Feiyan is already a little exhausted. Although he is fast, his physical strength is also greatly consumed. If he continues like this, I am afraid he will not be able to hold on."

Zhou Liangwei nodded: "Yes, lack of physical strength may be another weakness of the soldiers in the Western Regions."

The competition lasted for a long time. The scorching sun had begun to set, and the sky was dyed with a light orange-red color.

As time passed, the soldiers of Daliang took turns competing with Xianyu Linyuan and Xuanyuan Feiyan, and these competitions lasted for three full days.

During these three days, Zhong Xiaodan, Zhou Liangwei and others continued to observe and analyze, and learned many characteristics and weaknesses of Western martial arts.

The other generals gradually understood Zhong Xiaodan's intentions and began to deliberately guide them during the competition, studying and cracking the moves of Xianyu Linyuan and Xuanyuan Feiyan.

Xianyu Linyuan seemed magnanimous about this. He knew in his heart that the soldiers of Daliang were studying the martial arts of the Western Regions in order to gain an advantage on the battlefield in the future.

He thought, "As long as I'm not forced to fight other generals from the Western Regions, I don't care about anything else."

He was well aware of his current situation. Being able to settle down in Daliang was already a kindness from Jiang Chen. He just wanted to live a simple life with his wife and children. He didn't want to get involved too much in other matters.

Therefore, during the competition, Xianyu Linyuan deliberately exposed the weaknesses of his moves and cooperated with the generals of Daliang in practice.

However, Xuanyuan Feiyan did not think so. He was young and energetic, and was determined to prove his strength in the competition and compete with the best generals of Daliang.

He didn't want to be looked down upon, so he gave his all in every competition, making the fights very close.

Three days later, in the martial arts arena, Xuanyuan Feiyan was fighting Deng Yunde. The two men exchanged blows, their swords clashing and sparks flying.

The audience watched intently and cheered for their wonderful performance.

"Great! That's wonderful!"

"General Xuanyuan's swordsmanship is truly amazing!"

"General Deng is no less capable!"

Just when everyone was getting excited, a scout came running over with an anxious look on his face.

He walked up to Zhong Xiaodan, saluted, and said, "Oh no! General Annan, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan wants you to go to the General's Mansion immediately!"

Zhong Xiaodan frowned and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"

The scout panted and said, "It seems that there is military intelligence in Yizhou in the Western Regions. Your Highness asked you to take General Xianyu, General Xuanyuan and others with you!"

Zhong Xiaodan's heart trembled, realizing the urgency of the situation. He immediately shouted to everyone on the stage, "Stop!"

Deng Yunde and Xuanyuan Feiyan on the stage heard the sound, immediately stopped and jumped off the stage.

Zhong Xiaodan looked solemnly at all the generals and said, "All generals, follow me! All soldiers, continue training!"

"Yes!" Everyone answered in unison, their voices shaking the sky.

Along the way, Zhong Xiaodan had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He thought to himself, "Military intelligence has surfaced in Yizhou, Western Regions. Could this be a new development in the Western Regions? Why did His Highness send Xianyu Linyuan and Xuanyuan Feiyan along? Does he want them to resolve the situation?"

Zhou Liangwei seemed to see his confusion and whispered, "General Zhong, what do you think His Highness means?"

Zhong Xiaodan shook his head: "I'm not too sure, but His Highness has his own plans. We just need to follow his orders."

Inside the General's Mansion, Jiang Chen stood before a map, his expression solemn. The atmosphere in the room was somewhat oppressive, and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

"Your Highness the Prince of Yan!" Zhong Xiaodan stepped forward and saluted.

Jiang Chen raised his head and scanned everyone's faces one by one, finally stopping on Xianyu Linyuan and Xuanyuan Feiyan.

"You're here, come and take a look." His voice was low and powerful.

Everyone gathered around and saw that the Illinois area on the map was circled in red with some notes next to it.

Jiang Chen pointed at the map and said, "We just received intelligence that the Western Regions have assembled a large number of troops in Qiuci, and they seem to be intending to attack Yizhou."

After hearing this, everyone was shocked.

Zhong Xiaodan asked, "Your Highness, are the Western Regions planning to break the agreement and launch an offensive?"

Jiang Chen sneered, "It seems they can't sit still any longer. The ownership of Gaochang and the other three cities is a thorn in their side."

Zhou Liangwei frowned and asked, "Your Highness, what are your plans?"

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to Xianyu Linyuan: "General Xianyu, you know the situation in Yizhou best. What do you think is the purpose of the Western Region's move?"
