How to Unlock Zhao Yun

1. Play Gongsun Zan.

If you don’t want to play Gongsun Zan then.

2. Get a single female general, get friendly with Gongsun Zan, then use her to marry Zhao Yun to your faction. You need a hefty amount of money to do that.

3. Get friendly with Gongsun Zan (again), then try your best to annex him.

4. Fight Gongsun Zan and capture Zhao Yun. There are 2 things you need to prepare to get him:

• At least 1 character in your army that has skill to increase capture chance (you can get by leveling up).
• A spy in Gongsun Zan territory, use the spy to deteriorate the relationship between Gongsun Zan and Zhao Yun. If they still like each other he won’t join you ever.

5. Employ a friend of Zhao Yun, wait desperately for GSZ faction to be destroyed, than hope that Zhao Yun appears in your court as free agent.
