Zhao Yun struggled to his feet and looked at Huang Zhong, saying, "General Huang, I admire your strength. Han Xuan is not a wise ruler; why not surrender to our Yellow Turban Army?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong flew into a rage, brandishing his sword and pointing it at Zhao Yun, shouting, "Zhao Yun, you brat! I spared your life because I value your talent, yet you dare to try and persuade me to surrender? Enough with the nonsense, get out of here!"
