Wancheng is crying, this ancient city, in less than a year, has witnessed three changes of power, each change of ownership, accompanied by merciless killing.

At this time, it was no longer possible to distinguish between thieves and civilians, and in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the officers and soldiers would kill all the non-own personnel who appeared in front of them, even those who knelt on the ground and asked for surrender.

Ye Zhao didn't want to kill too much, but now that the victory or defeat had not really been decided, he would never have the slightest idea of benevolence.

Benevolence and righteousness are only spoken after the war has subsided, and in such a situation where the outcome is not clear, blindly emphasizing benevolence and righteousness is irresponsible to oneself and to the soldiers who follow oneself.

The killing continued, the Yellow Turban Army attacked each other, and was forced to the south of the city step by step, and there was no official army outside the city to encircle them, which invisibly interrupted their courage to fight to the death, even if Zhang Mancheng had the intention to fight to the death with the officials and soldiers in the city, but not everyone would have this courage.

There is no need for Liu Bi to do anything, even if Zhang Mancheng's elite troops can stabilize their position, but the ordinary Yellow Turban Army obviously does not have the courage and discipline, after a short stalemate, they have opened the city gate and rushed out of the city.

The open city gate also completely opened the last line of defense in the hearts of the Yellow Turban Army, even Zhang Mancheng was powerless to stop the Yellow Turban Army from retreating, and in the end he could only choose to go with the flow in this torrent.

His formation can no longer be maintained, and if he continues, before the Han army comes to attack, his elite will be crushed by the Yellow Turban Army in the city.

With the continuous outpouring of the Yellow Turban Army, the Han army quickly occupied all the important places in the city, and did not rush to kill the city wall, Zhu Jun obviously listened to Ye Zhao's strategy, and forced the Yellow Turban Army out of the city step by step in an orderly manner before he began to clean up the city.

It's over!

Ye Zhao did not join the battle group, but walked up to the city tower, watching a large number of Yellow Turban Army scattered out of the city like headless flies, scattered to various places, Ye Zhao knew that the last trace of vitality of the Yellow Turban Army would also disappear completely.

There is no food and grass, and the checkpoints on all sides are blocked, and then he only needs to follow his plan, pacifying and winning over step by step, which is enough to completely annihilate the last trace of vitality of the Yellow Turban Army.

"See the general!" Liao Hua was taken behind Ye Zhao by Guan Hai, and arched his hand to Ye Zhao with a complicated expression.

"I thought that Yuan Jian would not come again." Ye Zhao turned his head, looked at Liao Hua and smiled.

Liao Hua didn't speak, just watched the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army in the city being slaughtered continuously, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes: "Is the general going to kill them all?" ”

"It's not up to me to decide." Ye Zhao shook his head, shook his head with some disappointment and said with a smile: "The overall situation in the city has been decided, and the superfluous killing should not continue, Yuan Jian can rest assured." ”

Liao Hua nodded, didn't speak again, but never left, with his identity, now leaving Ye Zhao, without Ye Zhao's proof, I am afraid that he will be killed directly as a yellow scarf by the officers and soldiers in the city.

It's just that an hour has passed, and the four gates of Wancheng have been closed, but the killing in the city continues, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army will still be unable to escape death even if they kneel on the ground and ask for surrender.

"What's going on?" Ye Zhao's brows gradually furrowed, and his face was not good-looking, this was clearly the rhythm of rushing to kill, leading everyone down from the city wall, and grabbed a military marquis who was chasing and killing the Yellow Turban Army with his soldiers, and frowned: "The thief army has surrendered, why do you still want to chase and kill?" ”

"There will be an order for the right Zhonglang, and there will be no forgiveness for the thieves in the city!" The military marquis broke away from Ye Zhao's arm, saluted and said, "Please forgive the last general, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." ”

Ye Zhao's face was a little ugly, and he watched as the military marquis led the crowd to continue to chase the Yellow Turban thief who fled into the wilderness.

"Let's go, go find Zhu Jun!" Ye Zhao punched the wall fiercely, and led everyone to turn around and leave.

Zhu Jun has entered the city with the army, the former Taishou Mansion is also the residence of Zhang Mancheng later, and now it has become Zhu Jun's temporary camp, when Ye Zhao arrived, Zhu Jun has been with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Qin Zhe, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and Huang Zhong and others began to celebrate in the Taishou Mansion.

Although there were still sounds of fighting in the city, those who knew a little about military affairs understood that this battle was actually over, and the rest of the finishing work was done by themselves, and there was no need for them, the main generals, to pay attention to it.

"Xiu Ming came just in time, only you are missing, come over quickly, today's victory, Xiu Ming's credit is not small!" Zhu Jun saw Ye Zhao come in, smiled and beckoned to Ye Zhao.

"General!" Ye Zhao arched his hand and said: "Now that the general trend has been decided, why bother to kill again, those remnants of the yellow turbans in the city, most of them became yellow turbans because the thieves coerced the people, and it was not voluntary, now that our army is already victorious, why kill them all?" ”

"Xiu Ming's words are wrong, a thief is a thief!" Yuan Shu frowned and looked at Ye Zhao, a little disappointed.

"Thief~?" Ye Zhao pinched his eyebrows, pointed around and said, "You can go out and take a look, this huge Wan City, in addition to the thieves you mentioned, there are still half of the people?" What is the point of our army taking this dead city? ”

"Enough!" Zhu Jun slapped the table and glared at Ye Zhao angrily: "Today is a big day, and this general doesn't want to worry about you, but you don't have to participate in today's banquet!" ”

"The last general can't eat it!" Ye Zhao waved his hand, stopped Yuan Shao, who wanted to hold him, turned around and left, gathered his troops directly, occupied an area close to the city, and began to clean up the battlefield and temporarily station.

"General, this ......" Liao Hua frowned and looked at Ye Zhao.

"Don't ask me." Ye Zhao sat down against the wall, shook his head and said: "I am humble and light-hearted, what I can do has been done, Zhu Jun wants to go his own way, I can't stop it, the soldiers in this city, except for my people, no one listens to me." ”

Liao Hua was silent when he heard this.

"Yuan Jian is not leaving?" Ye Zhao raised his head, looked at Liao Hua and said with a smile: "What you have to do, General Ben can't do." ”

Liao Hua shook his head, he didn't say to go, he didn't say no, his mind is also very messy now, the worldview has encountered the impact of cruel reality for the first time, some things, it is really difficult to distinguish between right and wrong.

"Lord, what should we do now?" Guan Hai looked at Ye Zhao, he felt that he should do something now.

"Sleep!" Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "Let the three armies rest, the battle of Wancheng has ended so far, and the next thing is not in our hands." ”

Now that the checkpoints on all sides of Wancheng have been sealed, the scope of activities of the Yellow Turban Army is so large, as long as Zhu Jun's head has not been completely rusted, he will fight steadily, step by step, and the Yellow Turban Army outside the city will not have the support of military rations, and within seven days, I am afraid that it will be completely destroyed, and what he has to do is to wait for the reward of the imperial court.

Guan Hai nodded as if he didn't understand, and seeing that Ye Zhao had no other instructions, he said goodbye and left, and after Liao Hua hesitated for a while, he also left.

That night, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Huang Zhong came to see Ye Zhao one after another, Ye Zhao barely coped with a few words, and everyone left, Ye Zhao then went directly to sleep, after fighting for such a long time, most of the time he was alone, even with his spirit, he was very tired, at this moment everything was decided, Ye Zhao could finally rest for a night.

On the same night, Yuan Shao's camp ushered in two uninvited guests.

Late at night, in Yuan Shao's temporary mansion, Gong Du helped the injured Liu Pi to find Yuan Shao, it turned out that after the army broke the city, Zhang Mancheng didn't have time to pay attention to the two of them, the two found a private house to hide, although there were several groups of officers and soldiers passing by, but the two were miraculously not found, until late at night, the two dared to come out, Gong found out where Yuan Shao was, and then took Liu Pi all the way to hide to find Yuan Shao.

"Liu Pi? Gong Du? Yuan Shao looked at the two of them, remembered Ye Zhao's instructions, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Take it!" ”

"Lord, why is that!?" Seeing this, the two of them felt cold in their hearts, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Lord, the two of us have always been loyal to the Yuan family, if we had to help the Lord open the city gate, we would not have fallen to this step, now that Wancheng is established, why is the lord so waiting for us?" ”

Yuan Shao looked at the two of them, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

Liu Pi's heart moved, and without waiting for Yuan Shao's personal guards to come to arrest him, he suddenly pushed Gong Du away, knelt on the ground and said: "Lord, although the Yellow Turban is defeated, Zhang Mancheng's main force is still there, I am willing to help the lord make another contribution and capture Zhang Mancheng!" ”

He saw Yuan Shao's murderous intention, and it was useless to beg for mercy, so in a hurry, he wanted to use it for a try.

Yuan Shao frowned, but Feng Ji beside him stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait!" ”

"Metamap?" Yuan Shao turned his head and looked at Feng Ji suspiciously.

"Originally, these two people are now killing or releasing them, as far as you are concerned, there is no difference, but if these two can help you capture and kill that Zhang Mancheng, it should allow you to add another achievement, and now among the generals of the Southern Expedition, except for Ye Xiuming, you should be the most, why not give it a try?" Feng Ji said in a low voice.

"It's just a ...... to cultivate Mingyan" Yuan Shao was also a little moved when he heard this, but he just remembered Ye Zhao's words and hesitated, compared to Feng Ji, he trusted Ye Zhao a little more.

"I was confused at the beginning, and Xiuming didn't calculate the current situation." Feng Ji shook his head and smiled: "Besides, even if you want to kill, what's the difference between killing afterwards?" But let the two of them live a few more days. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he couldn't help but nod, looked up at the two of them, and said with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, just try to see if you have any complaints!" ”

Liu Bi was speechless, if it weren't for his quick reaction, he would have become a ghost under the knife at this moment, but at this moment, he didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction, and nodded tremblingly.

"Wait until you go and rest first, there will be a doctor to treat the two of you later, don't worry." Yuan Shao waved his hand and asked the two of them to go down.

"These two people have become wary, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to use them again." After the two left Zhou, Yuan Shao frowned.

Feng Ji smiled: "Don't worry, this matter will be left to me to convince these two." ”
