Deep down, Tadun hoped that both the fish and the net would be broken, and even dying standing was better than living on his knees.

But if the whole clan was destroyed and massacred, he would have to hesitate.

At least now his heart cannot be so hard-hearted.

He took a long breath and stared at Zhao Yun with a burning gaze: "Huaxia is a great country, known for its benevolence and righteousness. Although we are enemies, most of us admire the character of Huaxia."

"I didn't expect that you Chinese would do such despicable acts that threaten others. If this gets out, I'm afraid it will make countless people laugh at you, right?"

"Besides, the more people you kill, the greater the hatred between us, and the other ethnic groups will be more wary of China."

"Do you really want to lose the big picture for the small?"

"How about changing the conditions? We Wuhuan will submit to you and still obey your orders. From now on, we will follow the lead of Huaxia. We will fight whoever you tell us to fight. How do you think?"

Tadun used both soft and hard tactics in order to find another way out for the Wuhuan.

The price of surrender that Zhao Yun mentioned was too high, almost costing the Wuhuan people their complete freedom.

As long as they moved to Youzhou and learned how to farm, the Wuhuan people would no longer have the advantage of cavalry and would have to be assimilated by the Chinese. Within a hundred years, everyone would no longer have any concept of the Wuhuan nation.

Although they survived, they could no longer make the nation strong. Therefore, Tadun had to fight for a way out for the Wuhuan, a way that might allow them to turn the situation around.

Zhao Yun knew his thoughts clearly. Zhao Yun smiled faintly: "We all know what you are thinking. It is nothing more than placing your bets on the future."

"But have you ever thought about why we agreed?"

"The only threat you can offer is the overestimation of the virtues of China to achieve your own goals."

"If I tell you clearly that China will tear everything apart like a beast on the grassland, will you still have a fluke mentality?"

"You should know best what the ferocious beasts on the grassland are."

"That is to completely destroy the enemies in front of us. No matter how many come, we will kill them all."

"You want to leave a way out. I can tell you clearly that anyone who is unwilling to agree to the Wuhuan will die today. Even if he escapes, he will still have to face the elite pursuers of China."

"I can't guarantee that every Wuhuan person will die, but I can guarantee that only one out of a hundred people will survive."

"If you threaten revenge, that's even more unrealistic."

"If you set foot on Chinese soil, you will die. How can you seek revenge? Are you seeking revenge on me? Or on my Lord?"

“This is a dead end.”

Tadun's face looked extremely ugly. He thought he could gain some chance, but Zhao Yun blocked all the loopholes.

There was a fierce murderous intent flashing in his eyes. If he knew clearly that he could not be a match for Zhao Yun, he really could not help but attack Zhao Yun. Even if he died, he would die together with him and let the Chinese see the courage of the Wuhuan people.

Zhao Yun naturally sensed this murderous intent and said with a sneer, "Let me tell you the truth. There are only a few ethnic groups on the grassland."

"Even if you Wuhuan are defeated, the rest of the tribes are still within our range of conquest." "As long as we know where they gather, we will immediately send elite soldiers to wipe them out."

"Sooner or later, this grassland will completely fall into the hands of China, and no one will be able to take it away."

"You may not believe it, but I am only in my early thirties now. I still have thirty years to roam the grasslands. Do you think those fish that slipped through the net can stop me, a fierce general in the late stage of the heavenly general?"

Tadun felt a cold sweat on his back. He suddenly noticed Zhao Yun's age. Such a young and powerful general in the late stage of heaven's reign, his future was so bright that it was unimaginable.

If he were to target the nomadic peoples on the grassland, I'm afraid all those who resisted would be killed without a burial place.

"You really don't want to retreat even a single step?"

Zhao Yun laughed loudly: "In other words, if the Wuhuan had already conquered Youzhou, would they spare those ordinary people?"

"Honestly, you have also broken through to become a Heavenly General. Don't let me look down on you."

Tadun hesitated bitterly for a long time and said nothing.

"Although it is helpless, the law of the jungle is the law of the world. Our survival cannot rely on your kindness."

"I am the King of Wuhuan. I have the highest prestige in the hearts of the Wuhuan people. As long as I die, no one will continue to resist all your actions."

"So I challenge you to a fight to the death!"

Zhao Yun was somewhat surprised by these words. He stared at Tadun with great interest and asked, "Why do you want to die in vain?"

"You should know that as long as you obey the instructions, you can survive. My Lord is not a person who kills without permission."

Tadun shook his head: "Everyone has the right to live, except the King of Wuhuan."

"So no need to say more."

"There will be a war between us."

"I know I am no match for you, but I hope you can use all your strength, so that even if you die, you can die with your eyes closed."

Zhao Yun sighed and said, "He is indeed a man of character, but it's a pity that he can't get over the hurdle in his heart."

"I can satisfy such a request."

"But I still want to give you some advice. Why bother? It won't change any of the results later."

Tadun laughed bitterly and said, "At least Wuhuan still existed before I died. As for after I die, who cares about the flood?"

"This is my last wish!"
