Chapter 208: Zhang Jiao's Death
When Zhang Jiao walked out of the city gate, the battle was already over, the surrender of the surrendered, the death of the dead, anyway, the battle had stopped.
Zhang Jiao walked out of the city gate very calmly, and the Han army was on guard against him, but no one dared to step forward.
Zhang Jiao stood still at the gate of the city and looked around, at this time the Han army was escorting the surrendered yellow scarves to the rear to avoid accidents.
Ye Chen stepped forward, but did not approach.
"Zhang Jiao, your qi is near, follow me back to Luoyang, I promise that you will not be treated badly before handing it over to the imperial court." In fact, Ye Chen also knew that Zhang Jiao would not go back to Luoyang with him, but only said a symbolic word.
"Haha, I disturbed the entire Han Dynasty, but I hated that I failed to overthrow the rotten Han Dynasty, what kind of court is the court today, if the people can live, how many will rebel." Zhang Jiao did not answer Ye Chen's words, but ruthlessly accused the court.
"General Ye Chen of the Left Army, you are very good, very good." Zhang Jiao looked at Ye Chen and said.
"Zhang Jiao, you have won the prize, we have different positions, we are destined to be enemies, and today is the time for the Yellow Turban to perish." Ye Chen was confused by Zhang Jiao, he didn't know what he was going to do, why did he say this.
"Yes, the position is different, otherwise I would have appreciated you very much." Zhang Jiao said to Ye Chen again.
Ye Chen didn't know what Zhang Jiao was going to do, so he didn't answer.
"I sent my head here today, just to make a good relationship with the general." Zhang Jiao said.
This time, Ye Chen understood, he wanted to use his own head to intercede for the thousands of yellow scarves that had sneaked out, or the important people inside, and asked Ye Chen not to chase and kill.
Zhang Jiao meant this, he could escape with his own head for Zhang Liang, and at the same time, he came out to drag Ye Chen and prevent him from chasing and killing Zhang Liang now, at this time Zhang Liang only ran for two hours, and the cavalry was still easy to catch up.
Ye Chen understood what Zhang Jiao meant, and thought about it, this is not a trivial matter, and he can't make a decision easily.
At this time, Ye Chen had already guessed that it was Zhang Liang who escaped, as for whether there were other people, he still didn't know, ten Zhang Liang couldn't match one Zhang Jiao, Ye Chen knew this very well.
"We have been fighting fiercely for several days, and we have to take care of many Yellow Turban soldiers tonight, we don't have much time to talk nonsense with you, I advise you to surrender quickly, I will send you to Luoyang, obey the fate, and maybe leave a whole corpse." Ye Chen thought about it and deliberately shouted at Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao smiled when he heard Ye Chen's words, he knew that Ye Chen had agreed, at least promised not to send troops tonight.
Ye Chen deliberately said this to tell Zhang Jiao that he was not free tonight, and the latter words were for others to hear, Zhang Jiao was the head of the thief, and the court would take the key criminal, cooperate with him, if the defendant was sent to the court, then Ye Chen would be miserable, maybe Zhang Rang would not be able to protect him, so he would tell Zhang Jiao so vaguely.
"General of the Left Army, I swept through Bazhou after the Yellow Turban Uprising, collected a lot of treasures, and now I want to dedicate it to the general and let the general dedicate it to the imperial court, and make great contributions, I only hope that the general can treat those Yellow Turban soldiers who surrender kindly." Zhang Jiao was very satisfied with Ye Chen's answer, although he did not promise to let Zhang Liang go, at least they would not send troops tonight.
So Zhang Jiao threw out the second condition, hoping that he could give up pursuing Zhang Liang and at least delay a little longer, because Zhang Jiao also understood that there were many things that he could not decide, but Ye Chen definitely had a way to delay.
"Hmph, Zhang Jiao, I advise you to hand over the so-called Yellow Turban Treasure, I will definitely hand it over to the imperial court, reduce the guilt of those Yellow Turban soldiers, and after confirming the authenticity of the treasure, I will definitely let my soldiers take good care of these descended soldiers, and will not let them suffer until the imperial court falls." Ye Chen deliberately accentuated the tone of "my soldier" to tell Zhang Jiao that his guard battalion would not move and would not chase Zhang Liang.
As soon as Zhang Jiao heard what Ye Chen meant, as long as it was true, his cavalry would not pursue Zhang Liang, but Ye Chen could not guarantee that other armies would not pursue, but they would definitely not be able to do it in a short time, and their whereabouts were currently only clear to Ye Chen.
After negotiating the conditions, Zhang Jiao took out a sheepskin from his arms, the sheepskin was rolled, Zhang Jiao stretched out his hand and motioned Ye Chen to take it.
Tai Shici stood up, afraid that Zhang Jiao would cheat, so he didn't let Ye Chen pass.
Ye Chen patted Tai Shici's shoulder, signaled to rest assured, and walked over by himself.
Some of the generals below are very enthusiastic about this map, or they are also hot on Zhang Jiao, killing Zhang Jiao is a huge credit, and it is not a problem to worship the marquis, but they dare not move, not to mention that Ye Chen is the deputy commander, here he is the final word, just say that thousands of guard battalions are eyeing there, and none of them alone is an opponent.
Ye Chen held the overlord halberd upside down, indicating that it was not aggressive, and then walked over step by step.
Zhang Jiao saw that his face was calm and his steps were steady, knowing that his heart was also calm, and he praised all of him, in the face of such merits and wealth, this person could be so calm, which really impressed Zhang Jiao, at least made him feel that he was not wronged in the hands of such a person.
Ye Chen walked up to Zhang Jiao, picked up the parchment roll in his hand, and wrote it in his hand.
"I only have one day to live, and if you don't kill me, I won't be able to live for a day, so give me a pain, take my head to ask for credit, I only hope that you can be kind to the Yellow Turban soldiers and the Yellow Turbans who are no longer a threat to the Han." The yellow scarf that Zhang Jiao said was not a threat to the Han was actually those incognito, including his daughter, and Ye Chen understood it as Zhang Liang.
For Zhang Liang, if he didn't continue to gather people to rebel, or didn't take the initiative to jump out, Ye Chen really didn't bother to move his team to find it.
"Okay." Ye Chen replied very simply.
Zhang Jiao saw the sincerity in Ye Chen's eyes, laughed, and then said: "The big Han is already in the twilight, my yellow scarf failed to end it, it was me Zhang Jiao who was incompetent, but the big man can't last long, I hope General Ye can do it himself." ”
Ye Chen didn't answer him, took a few steps back, stuck the parchment roll at his waist, and then held the overlord halberd with both hands. △△
"Drink."
The Overlord Halberd swung like a black lightning bolt across the night sky and across Zhangjiao's neck.
A head rose to the sky, and a group of heroes died, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion that swept Bazhou also entered its final end.
Ye Chen looked at the head that rolled to the ground, and was extremely emotional for a while, he was definitely a man of the hour, but the final fate was that the head fell to the ground.
There was silence at the scene, and Zhang Jiao, the leader of the yellow scarf, died.
Ye Chen stood quietly on the spot for a while, sighed, went over and picked up Zhang Jiao's head, and held it high.
The Han soldiers at the scene cheered, which heralded the victory of the extermination of the Yellow Turbans and the end of the war. But these people don't know that in a few years, the entire Han will once again enter endless war.
