After a heavy snow, the weather became colder.

After the city was broken, both Zhu Jun, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others were very busy. Although they took Wancheng back, there were still a large number of Yellow Turban troops outside the city trapped around Wancheng by them. They could not retreat or advance. Zhu Jun and others were mostly busy with these things these days.

However, all of this seemed to have nothing to do with Ye Zhao, and Zhu Jun did not ask him to discuss matters again. Except for Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Huang Zhong occasionally talked about military affairs. Most of the time, Ye Zhao was in a state of idle fu.

"Lord, the letter sent by Huang Shao." Qiu Chi handed a letter to Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao took the note and scanned it roughly, mostly reporting on the situation of the Yellow Turban Army. The current situation of the Yellow Turban Army is similar to what Ye Zhao expected. Wancheng was destroyed and the desperate Yellow Turban Army gradually gathered, but it was not unified. Zhang Mancheng led his elite subordinates, which was the strongest. In addition, there were old subordinates of Zhang Mancheng, such as Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, and Sun Zhong.

However, although these old subordinates still respected Zhang Mancheng, they have become independent and their dependent relationship has become very weak. No matter what the reason, the destruction of Wancheng is a huge blow to Zhang Mancheng's reputation.

In addition, there were the Runan tribes led by Wu Ba, He Man, and the Yingchuan tribes led by Peng Tuo. Because He Yi died in battle, Liu Pi and Gong were missing, the Runan tribes were absorbed by Wu Ba and He Man. However, because of Liu Pi and Gongdu, the Nanyang Yellow Turban and Yingchuan Yellow Turban were very repulsive of the Runan Yellow Turban.

Another thing is that among the many Yellow Turbans, many people intend to surrender to the court.

After all, there is no food or grass now, and the Yellow Turban Army is no longer able to support it. Not only the lower-level soldiers, but also the top leaders of the Yellow Turban Army have many hopes to surrender to the court and do not want to fight this war again.

However, at present, he has not been able to join the official army in the city. Huang Shao is now under He Man's command. The letter also reveals his hope of joining the court. Ye Zhao can help join the line, and he is confident that he can convince He Man.

Ye Zhao threw the paper into the brazier and looked at the burning bamboo paper, feeling a little complicated. He also wanted to end the war as soon as possible. But now seeing Zhu Jun’s operations, Ye Zhao felt a little uneasy.

"Lord..." Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao, hesitated for a moment and said: "According to the news that Bei Zhi found out, the Right Central Army General has secretly conquered a yellow turban, and he may have a big move in the near future."

"Can you know which team it is?" Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked up at Qiu Chi.

"I haven't discovered it." Qiu Chi shook his head. Now Zhu Jun intends to neglect Ye Zhao. The military affairs only discuss with Yuan Shao and others, but ignore Ye Zhao alone. As a subordinate of Ye Zhao, it is not easy for Qiu Chi to be able to find out these news.

Ye Zhao nodded and said, "I ordered Huang Shao to be calm and not to be impatient. It is best to persuade He Man to retreat a little, and not to participate in the internal dispute between the Yellow Turban Army. After the major event is settled, I will try to help them surrender."

He has now deviated from the core of power, but the Yellow Turban Battle is over, and his contributions have been recorded in the court. Even if Zhu Jun hates him, he cannot erase his contributions. What's more, Ye Zhao's adversary strategy has begun to be implemented in Yingchuan, Runan and other restored jurisdictions, and his reputation will only accumulate more and more. So Ye Zhao is not anxious. What he is really worried about is whether Zhu Jun will be complacent at this last moment, which will add up to the twists and turns of the war that was already decided on.

"Here!" Qiu Chi nodded, bowed and went to deliver the message.

On the fourth day after Wancheng was broken, Zhang Mancheng was patrolling the military camp. In fact, there was nothing to patrol. Even the most elite Yellow Turban heroes and the soldiers trained by the Han army themselves according to the Han army's training methods, they all looked like they had no fighting spirit. People who had been hungry for four days had a green light in their eyes, and some people even kept sweeping their eyes to those dying companions around them.

Eat people!

In this era of desolation and war, Zhang Mancheng has not seen it before, but he never dreamed that one day, such a thing would happen in his army. In fact, Zhang Mancheng had not eaten for four days, and he could feel that his reason was being stripped from him little by little. He didn't know if he would become a man-eating beast if he continued like this.

"All handsome, no good!"

The sudden shouts of the messenger made Zhang Mancheng, who was extremely hungry, feel a sense of shock.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Mancheng turned his head and looked at the trembling soldier. He didn't know how scary he looked at his eyes at this moment.

"Han Zhong led his people and Wu Ba to fight because of a water source." His subordinates looked at Zhang Mancheng with fear. At this moment, Zhang Mancheng's eyes were a little green, as if he was about to eat people.

"Bastard!" Zhang Mancheng felt that he seemed particularly prone to getting angry today. He wanted to suppress him, but the more he suppressed him, the faster his anger would be.

"Let's go!" Without nonsense, Zhang Mancheng directly led his people to Wu Ba's camp.

Behind him were 20,000 hungry wolves-like warriors. Zhang Mancheng didn't know why these people were so excited when they heard about a war. The soldiers who were dying just now became more energetic in an instant. He didn't dare to think about the reason.

It was not a flat horse outside Wancheng. Zhang Mancheng and his men had already heard the sound of fighting from afar. He licked his dry lips greedily. Zhang Mancheng suddenly felt even hungry in his abdomen.

"Kill~"

Without any warning, when passing by a forest, a man suddenly broke out from the woods. It was Zhao Hong's troops stationed here. Zhang Mancheng knew the existence of this man, but he was not too prepared because he had never thought that Zhao Hong would betray him, so when Zhao Hong came out with red eyes, Zhang Mancheng did not react immediately.

The troops were cut into pieces by Zhao Hong's troops in one fell swoop. Zhang Mancheng was furious and said in a stern manner: "Zhao Hong, do you dare to betray me!?"

"I'm handsome, I'm offended! I want to live!" Zhao Hong held the big knife and looked at the war horse that Zhang Mancheng sat down greedily. It was probably the only mount in the Yellow Turban Army in Wancheng.

"Looking for death, kill me!" Zhang Mancheng didn't care about the dispute between Han Zhong and Wu Ba at this moment, and lifted the gun from the horse's back and shouted sternly.

"We are handsome, I offended you!" Zhao Hong waved his sword toward Zhang Mancheng with red eyes, and the soldiers on both sides fought together. From time to time, you could see crazy soldiers directly knocking down their opponents, tearing off a piece of meat from the opponent to chew. The battle was so crazy that it was terrifying.

Zhao Hong led only ordinary soldiers, but Zhang Mancheng was all elite. In just a quarter of an hour, Zhao Hong's men were killed in pieces and could not resist. At this moment, a shocking shout of killing suddenly sounded from behind.

Zhang Mancheng forced Zhao Hong back with one shot, turned his head to look at Han Zhong, who was supposed to be fighting together, but Wu Ba joined forces to kill him. At this moment, Zhang Mancheng didn't know that he had been trapped. He immediately roared, gave up Zhao Hong, who had already abandoned his armor, and went to kill Han Zhong and Wu Ba.

Zhang Mancheng was originally the most elite, but he suddenly failed. It was attacked from three sides and his troops were exhausted. Zhang Mancheng's troops gradually lost to the enemy. What's even more fatal is that Zhang Mancheng accidentally caught a flying rifle. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers under his command, Zhang Mancheng finally roared, and with unwillingness and full of anger, he led the remaining troops to Pengtuo Camp.

"Success?" Wu Ba looked at the direction of Zhang Mancheng's escape, then looked at the corpses on the ground, and swallowed.

"Go and report to General Zhu. We gather our troops and prepare to surrender!" Zhao Hong gasped and gave Han Zhong a wink. Han Zhong understood and turned around and left.

Han Zhong and Zhao Hong led 60,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to surrender early the next morning, but Wu Ba did not appear. The army was ordered by Zhu Jun to throw away their weapons and advanced one after another outside Wancheng Gate to accept the surrender.

"Wengcheng?" When Ye Zhao received the news, he was stunned. Since he was surrendering, why did he choose a place like Wencheng?

Then his face changed and he suddenly stood up: "Let's go to the city!"

...

The urns in Wancheng were extremely well established. Han Zhong and Zhao Hong thought they had made great contributions. They happily directed the surrendered soldiers who followed them into the urns in turn. After trying to line up as much as possible, they went up the city tower together, worshiped Zhu Jun, and waited for the imperial court to reward him.

However, Han Zhong and Zhao Hong, who were looking forward to turning from a Yellow Turban thief to become a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, did not wait for Zhu Jun's reward. Instead, when they arrived on the city tower, they found that a strict line of Han soldiers were hiding behind the female wall on the aisle of the city wall. There were cans of piled pots of pots around, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of tinsel oil.

The two of them didn't pay attention before. When they saw these turmeric oil tanks, they suddenly remembered that the ground of the urn was almost covered with hay.

It was not until this time that the two realized something was wrong. What was the official army doing?

Defend the city?

Now, the most elite Zhang Mancheng's troops in the Yellow Turban Army have been completely damaged. Most of the Yellow Turbans in Nanyang are gathered in this urn city. Outside the city, only Peng Tuo's defeated Yingchuan army, Wu Ba, and He Man's Runan army are left. Although there are many people, what damage can it cause when the siege equipment is lacking?

But if we don’t defend the city, what would we do if we gathered so many officers and soldiers?

A terrible thought arose in the hearts of the two, and their faces turned pale in an instant. They turned their heads stiffly to look at Zhu Jun, but what flashed in Zhu Jun's eyes at this moment was an unconcealed cold murderous intent.

cheat!

Han Zhong and Zhao Hong finally realized that this was a scam. From the beginning, Zhu Jun had no intention of surrendering them.

"Preparation!" Zhu Jun raised his right arm expressionlessly.

On the empty female wall originally looked down from the city, rows of Han army archers suddenly stood up.

"General, you can't do this! You promised me that as long as you kill Zhang Mancheng, the court will not blame us for the past!" Han Zhong and Zhao Hong rushed towards Zhu Jun like wounded wild wolves, but were stopped by Yuan Shu and Cai Mao on the side.
