Wancheng was crying. This ancient city witnessed three changes of rights in less than a year. Every change of ownership was accompanied by ruthless killing.

At this time, the thieves and the people were no longer distinguished. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the official army would kill all non-our-side personnel who appeared in front of them, and even those who kneeled down to surrender.

Ye Zhao did not want to create too much killing, but now that the outcome has not been truly decided, he will never have the slightest idea of ​​benevolence and righteousness.

Benevolence and righteousness are only talked about after the war has subsided. In this situation where the outcome is unclear, blindly advocating benevolence and righteousness is irresponsible to oneself and to follow one's soldiers.

The killing continued, and the Yellow Turban Army was attacking each other and was forced toward the south of the city step by step. There was no official army outside the city, which invisibly interrupted their courage to fight to the death. Even if Zhang Mancheng was determined to fight to the death with the official army in the city, not everyone would have this courage.

There was no need for Liu Pi to do anything else. Even if Zhang Mancheng's elite troops could stabilize their position, the ordinary Yellow Turban Army obviously did not have the courage and discipline. After a brief stalemate, they opened the city gates and ran out of the city. Ye Zhao's decision to suggest that he should not set up defenses outside the city, but to expand the defense circle, played a crucial role at this moment, leaving the Yellow Turban Army without the possibility of a fight against the water.

The opened city gate completely opened the last line of defense in the hearts of the Yellow Turban Army. Even Zhang Mancheng was unable 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. If he continues, his elite troops will be destroyed by the Yellow Turban Army in the city before the Han army attacks.

With the continuous outflow of the Yellow Turban Army, the Han army quickly occupied important places in the city and did not rush to kill the city wall. Zhu Yan obviously listened to Ye Zhao's plan and forced the Yellow Turban Army out of the city step by step, and then began to clean up the city.

it's over!

Ye Zhao did not join the battle group, but walked up to the city tower. Seeing a large number of Yellow Turban Army scattering out of the city like headless flies, scattering to all over the place, Ye Zhao knew that the last trace of the Yellow Turban Army's vitality would completely disappear.

Without food and grass, the levels on all sides were blocked. After that, just follow his plan and follow him step by step to comfort and win over it, it will be enough to completely annihilate the last trace of energy of the Yellow Turban Army.

"See General!" Liao Hua was taken behind Ye Zhao by Guan Hai, and bowed to Ye Zhao with a complicated expression.

"I thought Yuan Jian would not come again." Ye Zhao turned around and looked at Liao Hua and said with a smile.

Liao Hua didn't say anything, but just watched the remaining Yellow Turban Army in the city being slaughtered, a hint of unbearableness flashed in his eyes: "Do you have to kill all the generals?"

"I can't decide this matter." Ye Zhao shook his head, shook his head with some disappointment and said, "The overall situation in the city has been decided, and the extra killing should not continue. Yuan Jian can rest assured."

Liao Hua nodded, didn't say anything, but he never left. As his identity, he left Ye Zhao now. Without Ye Zhao's proof, he would probably be killed by the officers and soldiers in the city as Yellow Turbans.

Just an hour passed, and the four gates of Wancheng were closed, but the killing in the city continued. Even if the remaining Yellow Turban Army knelt on the ground and asked to surrender, they could not escape death.

"What's going on?" Ye Zhao's brows gradually frowned, and his expression was not good-looking. It was clearly a rhythm of killing all the people. He led everyone down from the city wall and grabbed a military marquis who was carrying soldiers to chase the Yellow Turban Army. He frowned and said, "The thief army has surrendered, why do they still need to chase after him?"

"The Right General of the Central Army has an order. The thieves in the city will be killed without mercy!" The Junhou broke away from Ye Zhao's arm and bowed: "Please forgive General Xu Mo for his military affairs, so it is not convenient to stay for a long time."

Ye Zhao looked at the military marquis leading the troops to pursue the Yellow Turban thief who was fleeing in the desert with a look of ugly expression.

"Let's go find Zhu Jun!" Ye Zhao punched the wall hard, turned around and left.

Zhu Jun had already entered the city with the army. The former prefect's mansion was also the residence of Zhang Mancheng later. Now it has become Zhu Jun's temporary camp. When Ye Zhao arrived, Zhu Jun had already begun to celebrate with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Qin Zhe, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and Huang Zhong.

Although there were still constant fighting sounds in the city, those who knew some military affairs understood that the battle was actually over, and there was someone going to do the rest of the final work, so there was no need for the main generals to pay attention to it.

"Xu Ming came just right, you are the only one left. Come here quickly. Today is victorious, Xiu Ming has made great contributions!" Zhu Jun saw Ye Zhao coming in, and waved to Ye Zhao with a smile.

"General!" Ye Zhao bowed and said, "Now the general situation is settled, why do you need to kill again? The remnants of the Yellow Turbans in the city were mostly thieves who were used to enforce the people and became the Yellow Turbans. It was not voluntary. Now our army is sure to win, why do you need to kill them all?"

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

"Thief~?" Ye Zhao pinched his eyebrows and pointed to the surroundings and said, "You can go out and have a look. In this huge city of Yuan, besides the thieves you mentioned, there are still half a citizen? What's the point of our army taking down this dead city?"

"Enough!" Zhu Jun slapped the table and glared at Ye Zhao and said, "Today is a great day. I don't want to bother with you, but you don't have to attend this banquet today!"

"Even the last general can't eat it!" Ye Zhao waved his hand, blocking Yuan Shao who wanted to hold him, turned around and left, gathered his troops directly, occupied a piece of area close to the city, began to clear the battlefield, and temporarily stationed.

"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, "You are humble and gentle. You can do what you can do. Zhu Jun must do it alone and cannot stop him. No one in this city except our troops will listen to me."

Liao Hua was silent when he heard this.

"Yuan Jian won't leave?" Ye Zhao looked up and looked at Liao Hua and said with a smile: "I can't do what you want to do."

Liao Hua shook his head, and did not say he would leave, nor did he say he would not leave. His mind is also very confused now. His worldview was hit by cruel reality for the first time. Some things are really hard to distinguish between right and wrong.

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

"Sleep!" Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "Let the three armies rest. The battle in Wancheng has ended at this point. The next thing is not our responsibility."

Now the four levels on Wancheng have been blocked, and the Yellow Turban Army's range of activities is so large. As long as Zhu Jun's head has not completely rusted, he will steadily take action and take action step by step. Without the support of military rations, the Yellow Turban Army outside the city will probably be completely destroyed within seven days. All he has to do is wait for the imperial court to reward.

Guan Hai nodded as if he had understood it. Seeing that Ye Zhao had no other instructions, he said goodbye and left. Liao Hua hesitated for a while and left.

That night, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Huang Zhong came to see Ye Zhao one after another. After Ye Zhao forced himself to deal with it for a few words, everyone left. Ye Zhao then fell asleep directly. After fighting for such a long time, he was mostly alone. Even with his spirit, he was very tired. At this moment, everything was settled, and Ye Zhao could finally have a good rest for a night.

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

Late at night, Gong Du helped the injured Liu Pi to find Yuan Shao in Yuan Shao's temporary residence. It turned out that after the army broke through the city, Zhang Mancheng didn't have time to pay attention to them. The two of them found a private house and hid. Although several groups of official troops passed by, the two were miraculously not discovered. It was not until late at night that the two dared to come out. After Gong Du found out where Yuan Shao was, he took Liu Pi to hide all the way to find Yuan Shao.

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

"Master, why is this?" The two of them felt cold when they saw this, and they knelt down to the ground and kowtowed, "Master, I 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 level. Now that Wancheng is determined, why should the lord treat us like this?"

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

Liu Pi's heart moved. Without waiting for Yuan Shao's personal guard to come to capture, he suddenly pushed Gong Du away and knelt on the ground and said, "Lord, although the Yellow Turbans are defeated, Zhang Mancheng's main force is still there. We are willing to help the lord make another contribution and capture and kill Zhang Mancheng!"

He saw Yuan Shao's murderous intent, and it was useless to beg for mercy. In desperation, he wanted to use this to try.

Yuan Shao frowned, but Feng Ji, beside him, reached out to stop him and said, "Let's wait!"

"Yuantu?" Yuan Shao turned his head and looked at Feng Ji in confusion.

"Originally, there is no difference between these two people now killing or letting go. However, if these two people can help you capture and kill Zhang Mancheng, you will be able to add another contribution. Now among the generals of the Southern Expedition, except for Ye Xiuming, you should be the best, so why not try it?" Feng Ji whispered.

"Just Xiu Ming's words..." Yuan Shao was also a little moved when he heard this. He just remembered Ye Zhao's words and hesitated. Compared to Feng Ji, he trusted Ye Zhao a little more.

"I was confused at first, but Xiuming has not calculated the current situation." Feng Ji shook his head and smiled, "Besides, even if I want to kill, what's the difference between killing me again afterwards? But let them live for a few more days."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but nodded, looked up at the two of them, and smiled on his face and said, "Don't worry, just try if you have any complaints!"

Liu Pi was speechless. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have become a dead soul under the knife at this moment. But at this moment, he would not dare to express any dissatisfaction and nodded tremblingly.

"You go and rest first. A doctor will treat you and the two of you later. Don't worry." Yuan Shao waved his hand and asked someone to take them down.

"These two have become wary and may not be able to use them again." Yuan Shao frowned when they left Zhou.
