Chapter 80 Making things difficult

As the four gates of Changshe opened, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and the powerful general under the tent, Sun Jian, each led a group of troops to cooperate with Ye Zhao to encircle on all sides. The defeat of the Yellow Turban Army eventually turned into a one-sided massacre.

The Yellow Turban thieves who knelt on the ground begging for mercy were killed without mercy by the Han army who rushed up. Ye Zhao had just captured a group of Yellow Turban thieves, and saw a powerful general leading a wave of Han army to come. Seeing the prisoners on the ground, they took the knife and took the knife without asking the reason.

Ye Zhao's eyes turned cold, and a hint of unbearableness flashed in Liao Chun's eyes.

"Stop them!" Ye Zhao lowered his face and waved his hand. Ding Li immediately led his troops forward and stopped the official troops who were preparing to massacre prisoners of war.

"Do you want to rebel?" The generals in the head, around thirty years old, with a straight face, wearing a golden helmet, a beast-faced golden armor, holding an ancient ingot knife, stood in front of the formation, exuding a sense of courage, and their eyes were like swords, swept over the soldiers under Ye Zhao's command, and finally fell on Ye Zhao.

"I am Ye Zhao, the prime minister of Liang State. Who is the general? Why did you kill prisoners?" Ye Zhao rode out, looked at the powerful general in front of him and frowned.

"I am the Sima of the Army under the command of the Right General, Sun Jian, was ordered to kill the enemy. The general has an order to not leave prisoners! All bandits will be killed without mercy!" Sun Jian put the ancient ingot knife on the back of the horse and bowed to Ye Zhao and said, "The Lord of the Mansion led the people to help, and he was exhausted all the way. Let's leave this matter of killing the enemy to the lower level."

"Kill the prisoners and don't surrender!" Ye Zhao frowned and said, "If the general wants to kill the enemy, he can continue to pursue the enemy. However, these people have already put down their weapons and given up resisting. If they kill them, who else is willing to surrender in the future?"

"So, the Lord of the Mansion wants to disobey?" Sun Jian's eyes sternly, and the ancient ingot knife that was standing on the horse's back was taken off again, and his knife-like eyes fell on Ye Zhao's face.

"Huh?" Feeling Sun Jian's murderous intent, Dian Wei raised his thick eyebrows and took a step forward with his two iron halberds, like an angry tiger. A violent evil aura spread out. The violent aura made Sun Jian's war horse restless. Even if Sun Jian kept comforting him, he seemed uncontrollably.

"These people have been surrendered." Ye Zhao waved his hand to signal Dian Wei to retreat, looking at Sun Jian and said, "If the Zhonglang is going to blame, Ye will bear the blame."

Sun Jian glanced at Liang Guojun, who had gathered behind Ye Zhao, who had formed a formation, stared at Ye Zhao, groaned, turned his horse's head and chased him in other directions.

"Lord, if you do this, I'm afraid I'll be punished for disobedience." Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao worriedly.

"I came here by the imperial edict. Although my official rank was not as good as others, I was not their subordinate. They still had no right to condemn me!" Ye Zhao looked at the direction of Sun Jian's departure, and was a little lost. With the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, more and more familiar historical figures appeared. When I met Sun Jian today, I wonder where Cao Cao and Liu Bei were? I am afraid I will see it sooner or later.

Ye Zhao continued to surrender the prisoners, and overnight, he captured tens of thousands of prisoners. Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun led their troops to chase Bocai. However, the night was too dark, and it was difficult to chase after him for ten miles, so he would withdraw his troops and return to the city.

"Ye Zhao?" Huangfu Song is not unfamiliar with this name. Since Ye Zhao passed away to kill Shanyu, Ye Zhao's reputation has spread in Luoyang. Later, he was transferred to Suiyang Order and had the title of a god of judgment. In addition, as well as the halo of Cai Yong's disciples, his clan Liu Mu also praised Ye Zhao after returning to the court.

In the lobby, Zhu Jun sat beside Huangfu Song, Sun Jian stood at the beginning, and Ye Zhao stood in the hall in a worship position.

Looking at Ye Zhao's young face, Huangfu Song frowned slightly. Ye Zhao's appearance ruined his plan, but he had no reason to blame Ye Zhao for anything. After all, he did not have any prior ventilation. Ye Zhao defeated the enemy. After all, he was kind-hearted, but he couldn't understand the dissatisfaction in his heart.

First, Ye Zhao's appearance destroyed his plans for many days, and second, Ye Zhao defeated the Yellow Turban with two thousand troops. He led the five Luoyang schools and more than 40,000 Western troops, but was defeated by the Yellow Turbans and trapped the city. Although it was intentional, if this matter was spread, where would his old face be put? At the same time, he made Ye Zhao's reputation, but he slapped his old face.

"Let me ask you, why did you stop Sun Jian from killing the enemy?" Huangfu Song frowned and looked at Ye Zhao. He couldn't say what he asked for. No matter what aspect, Ye Zhao did right. If he asked for it, he wouldn't have to ask for his old face.

"Go back to General, since those people have put down their weapons, they are already prisoners. Zhao doesn't say much about killing prisoners. He just talks about it by the hearts of the people. The surrender of these people can quickly disintegrate the morale of these Yellow Turban thieves. Only when fighting again in the future can the enemy surrender and surrender. The subordinates think that these surrendered soldiers cannot be killed!" Ye Zhao bowed and said.

"Do you know what the Taiping Sect is?" Huangfu Song's eyes gradually became sharp, he looked at Ye Zhao and said in a stern manner: "It is the crime of treason, and the whole family should be killed!"

"Can you know how many people are there in Taiping Cult?" Ye Zhao looked up and looked at Huangfu Song without any permission. He said loudly: "If you don't say anything, just talk about Liang State. At the beginning of the uprising, the Taiping Cult was only more than 10,000, but it quickly increased to 10,000 in ten months. Most of them were brought by these Yellow Turban thieves. They had no intention of resisting the court. There were only more than 100,000 households in Liang State. If the general insisted on eliminating all evil and killing the whole family, the killing would be less than 10,000 people who survived the Liang State. If these people were killed, who would farm? Where did the imperial court get the troops? Where to collect taxes? How can we support the officials and ministers in the court?"

"Besides, if the general blindly kills and attacks, wouldn't these people who were not interested in the Yellow Turban be forced to become enemies of the court!"

"You mean I will force the people to rebel?" Huangfu Song raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Zhao with a stern look.

"The lower official has no intention of this. He just explained to the general that excessive killing will be of no use to the country and will only damage the foundation of the country. I hope the general will think twice!" Ye Zhao bowed and said.

Huangfu Song sat in the position of the commander, his cold eyes fell on Ye Zhao, as if he wanted to see him through. Ye Zhao was not afraid. He stood in the hall and looked straight straight. Although his eyes were not aggressive, he was like a rock. Even though Huangfu Song was a famous general of the dynasty and an important official in the court, he could not make him bow.

Seeing that the atmosphere became heavier, Sun Jian stepped forward and bowed and said, "General, the last general thought that although Bocai was defeated, his main force still exists. Yingchuan, Runan, Chenliu and other places are still in the hands of the Yellow Turbans. Our top priority is to take advantage of the victory to pursue it."

Zhu Jun nodded slowly and said, "Now the Yellow Turban Thief Army has lost its aura. It is the time when our army defeats the enemy. If we delay it, it will probably cause dissatisfaction from Your Majesty. Both of you should put state affairs first."

"Ye Zhao!" Huangfu Song took a deep breath and looked at Ye Zhao and said.

"The official is here."

"I am ordered to conquer the Yellow Turban bandits and have the right to mobilize the county soldiers in Yuzhou. Although you are the prime minister of Liang, since you lead your army to help, you need to wait for the general's dispatch. Do you know?" Huangfu Song said in a deep voice.

"The minister knows." Ye Zhao nodded.

"Okay, although Bo Cai's main force is defeated, there are still tens of thousands of troops lingering. I am going to set up all the troops to pursue the enemy. However, there are also Yellow Turbans in Runan, so I must be eliminated. When I heard that you were in the northern border, you won the more with few defeats and defeated the bandits several times, so I ordered you to be the vanguard and lead our troops to Runan to suppress the bandits. After I defeat Bo Cai, you and I will lead our troops to fight back against the Chenliu riots. Are you willing?" Huangfu Song's eyes were a bit threatening.

Sun Jian raised his eyebrows. Ye Zhao's command was only a school of troops, and Runan was the hardest hit area of ​​the Yellow Turbans. Although there was no such commander as Bocai, the number of people alone was less than 200,000. With Ye Zhao's troops, how could he win?

He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and stood silently watching the development of things.

"Only the people in the headquarters?" Ye Zhao frowned. He had heard of the Yellow Turbans of Runan. Although it was relatively scattered, it was large enough. It was not seen that in history or legend, the Yellow Turbans of Runan were not completely eliminated until Cao Cao occupied Runan. He was a human, not a god. He fought for two thousand and two hundred thousand. Even if he could be defeated, it would not be completed in a short time. At least before Huangfu Song attacked and destroyed Bocai, Ye Zhao could not pacify Runan.

"You can recruit soldiers by yourself." Huangfu Song said calmly.

"Is the general joking with the officials?" Ye Zhao sneered and said without any permission: "How can I recruit soldiers without the court's permission?"

Although Ye Zhao himself secretly recruited soldiers and trained soldiers, they all came quietly. Now Huangfu Song said it out loud, clearly trying to cheat him. Even if he succeeded, it would be difficult for the court to not pursue the matter in the future. He was sure that even if he really recruited soldiers and eventually wiped out the Runan Yellow Turban, Huangfu Song would probably go to the court to sue him on this reason.

"Do you want to disobey?" Huangfu Song stood up, looked down at Ye Zhao, and said in a stern manner.

Outside the court, there was no need for Huangfu Song to speak, dozens of soldiers had already surrounded the court and cut off Ye Zhao's retreat.

Ye Zhao looked at the soldiers outside the door, his face suddenly became cold, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Ye Zhao's smile was sunny, giving people a refreshing and clear feeling, but his smile was not gentle at this moment. It fell into the eyes of everyone present. As Ye Zhao's smile appeared, a dangerous aura spread around with Ye Zhao as the center. Huangfu Song, who had always taken the initiative in momentum, suddenly felt unable to breathe when facing Ye Zhao's smile, as if the young man in front of him who looked harmless smile would turn into Meng Hu at the next moment.

Behind Ye Zhao, Dian Wei came to the door silently, took off the two iron halberds from his waist, stared at the dozens of soldiers in the courtyard, and grinned and showed a hideous smile.

"Ye Zhao, what do you want to do?" Sun Jian's expression changed drastically. As a general, he was not Ye Zhao, but Dian Wei at the first time. He could feel the terrifying deterrence brought by Dian Wei, which made him brave and brave, and he stepped forward and grabbed Ye Zhao's shoulder, and captured the thief and captured the king first.

But when Ye Zhao saw Ye Zhao's shoulder trembling, he could not see how he moved. Sun Jian felt a flash in front of him, but his hand pressed on Sun Jian's shoulder like a snake, holding a hole in his mouth. For some reason, Sun Jian felt a pain in his shoulder, and then half of his body became numb. For a moment, he couldn't use any strength. Ye Zhao raised his thumb and unsheathed the sharp blade. The cold blade was less than half an inch away from Sun Jian's Adam's apple.
