The war in Xi Hubei was coming to an end. Under the attack of Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Huangfu Song's army, the Yellow Turban Army completely collapsed. Zhao Hong only led more than a thousand remaining troops to break through and headed towards Yuyang.

When chasing the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, Sun Jian went to chase them, but Ye Zhao ignored them.

He took his remnants to find Huangfu Song's main force, and was seeing Liu Bei with Zhang Fei following Huangfu Song.

"Xu Ming is here." This was the first time Huangfu Song faced Ye Zhao with such a kind attitude. Seeing Ye Zhao coming, he smiled and said, "In this battle, Xiu Ming should remember his first merit!"

"Clang~"

Ye Zhao didn't say much, and drew his sword and walked towards Liu Bei.

"Ye Zhao, what are you doing?" Yuan Shu was shocked when he saw this, and quickly drew his sword and shouted: "Do you dare to assassinate Shangguan?"

"The last general has no intention of disrespect. However, this thief not only ruined my major affairs, but was so tired that my five thousand soldiers were almost injured and killed. He also escaped in the face of battle. How can we correct our morale if we don't kill this thief?" Ye Zhao pointed his sword at Liu Bei and said in a stern manner.

"Who escaped at the last minute?" Zhang Fei said angrily: "It was you who were not careful in using your troops. If my brother and I had not risked our lives to break out of the encirclement and bring in rescue soldiers, how could you have the life to be arrogant here?"

"Ha~" Ye Zhao laughed angrily: "I don't respect the orders and are greedy for merit and are rash. It's just that Zhao Hong is alert. Not only is the 300 soldiers dying tragically in front of the formation, but my fire attack plan is also not enough to achieve the full success!"

Ye Zhao turned his head to look at Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and said in a deep voice: "The general is a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time. He should have seen clearly just now. Has Ye Zhao been careful in using his troops?"

After hearing this, Huangfu Song was silent for a moment, shook his head, looked at Liu Bei and said, "You led your troops to advance just now?"

Previously, Huangfu Song could see clearly on the beacon tower. If there were no small group of troops advancing, causing Ye Zhao's front and rear armies to be unable to coherent, perhaps the main force would not have to take action at all. Zhao Hong was defeated, and Ye Zhao's troops would not have suffered heavy losses.

Although Huangfu Song was ready to suffer heavy losses when Ye Zhao was about to stand before the battle, as Ye Zhao said, he was a famous general who had been on the battlefield for a long time. In such matters, he disdained to lie, and did not think that he had to lie for Liu Bei. Naturally, he could see that the situation of the battle just now had reversed. Ye Zhao could not advance his trick, but instead fell into a hard battle. It was caused by the rash advance of that small wave of troops.

Liu Bei didn't say anything, but Yuan Shu on the side said disdainfully: "Ha~ Ask for help? Meng De and Wentai set out when Xiuming and the Yellow Turban Thiefs were fighting. Why do you need to ask for it? Or... "

Yuan Shu looked at Liu Bei with some amusement: "Do you think that if General Huangfu doesn't want to send troops, you can ask for reinforcements?"

Although Yuan Shu didn't like Ye Zhao on weekdays, he was the one who valued family members the most. In the past, Ye Zhao was offended, which made him dissatisfied. At this moment, Liu Bei was in a state of vain. Between Ye Zhao and Liu Bei, he subconsciously began to speak for Ye Zhao.

Liu Bei's face turned pale. Although Ye Zhao was angry before, he did not directly talk about his identity. Yuan Shu spoke at this moment, but it was a humiliation of Hong Guoguo. Even though Liu Bei was so cunning, he was only two or three years older than Ye Zhao. He was still in his prime, and his hands holding the scabbard were a little white.

On the one hand, he was angry, but on the other hand, he knew clearly that after this, he could not stay in Huangfu Song's army. If he stayed there, he would only make people laugh.

"Come here!" Huangfu Song waved his hand and frowned, "Take these three people down, each of them has two hundred sticks!"

As for Liu Bei's crime, it is because of Lu Zhi's face that he did not kill him. However, even if such a serious crime is avoided, he will not be able to escape the crime of living. If he does not punish himself, he will not say how Ye Zhao reacts, Huangfu Song will be very strict in the army. If he does not blame him heavily, it will be difficult to convince the three armies.

"General, these two people escaped at the battle and their crimes are unforgivable, but I want to plead for Guan Yu." Ye Zhao glanced coldly at Liu Bei, who was pale, and pulled Guan Yu over and said, "If Yun Chang had not sacrificed his life to help him, it would have been difficult to achieve success!"

Huangfu Song glanced at Guan Yu, nodded silently and said, "Since General Ye pleads with mercy, I will write down this military stick for the time being. But if you commit it again, you will be punished with both crimes!"

"Guan Yu!" Zhang Fei stared at Guan Yu with a cannibalistic gaze.

Sometimes this is how people's hearts are. Guan Yu actually did nothing wrong. He went back to save Ye Zhao to repay Ye Zhao's kindness and had no intention of betraying Liu Bei. However, after being punished at this moment, two hundred military sticks were found. Even if Liu Bei and Zhang Fei saw this, they would have to peel off even if they were beaten by these two hundred military sticks. However, Guan Yu was pardoned because of Ye Zhao's plea. What's more, Ye Zhao was regarded as an enemy who harmed their brothers at this moment. Guan Yu accepted Ye Zhao's favor, but Zhang Fei felt betrayed.

"Please punish my three brothers together!" Guan Yu felt quite uncomfortable at this moment and wanted to ask for love, but others said slightest words, so he could only prove that he was not treasonous in this way.

"Hmph, hypocritical!" Zhang Fei snorted coldly, but this sentence made Guan Yu feel as if he was cut off.

Ye Zhao grabbed Guan Yu, pulled him up, and said calmly: "Chang Yun did not do anything wrong. A man is not afraid of doing something wrong. What he is afraid of is that he is clearly wrong, but he still has to take his anger on others. If others cannot make mistakes with him, it is betrayal. How can this be true in this world?"

"What Xiuming said is not bad!" Yuan Shao sneered: "Why should you care about such a person? I think the heroes have some skills, so why not stay under Xiuming's tent and listen to it, it's better than following such people who have failed to do it."

Guan Yu did not say anything, but just knelt down again and bowed to Huangfu Song, "Please punish the general!"

Huangfu Song frowned and looked at Ye Zhao, and Ye Zhao also frowned. He could not understand how the values ​​of the ancients were formed. He suddenly felt a little jealous of Liu Bei. He went all the way and tried his best to recruit some people. However, except for Dian Wei, the rest of the generals were difficult to compete with the two generals of Guan and Zhang. Liu Bei was so innocent that he could make two peerless generals follow him wholeheartedly? At least in Ye Zhao's opinion, Liu Bei did not show any outstanding features at the moment.

"It's up to you!" Pleading for a time is enough. If others don't appreciate it, Ye Zhao will not be able to stick to his face and step on it.

"Thank you for your accomplishment, General!" Guan Yu bowed to Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao ignored it. Even so, the cracks between the three brothers had already formed. If you want to repair them, it depends on Liu Bei's wrist.

"General, our army suffered heavy casualties in this killing battle!" Ye Zhao looked at Huangfu Song and bowed and said, "Ye Zhao is willing to reward all the merits and reward the family of our army's dead Erlang for all the battles. Please help the general."

Huangfu Song glanced at the soldiers behind Ye Zhao, almost all of them were injured, and frowned and said, "The merits were given to the deceased. Have you ever thought about what should these soldiers who follow you behind you?"

Ye Zhao shook his head: "As long as you don't die, you will have a day to make a comeback. However, what I will do now is the only one who dies for no reason, and I will be more at ease. Please let the general know!"

"Please be sure, General!" As Ye Zhao finished speaking, all the more than 500 soldiers remaining behind him knelt down and asked. Although the voice was not high, there was an inexplicable sense of generosity, which made many soldiers present red in their eyes.

Looking at the dark soldiers kneeling behind Ye Zhao, Huangfu Song waved his hand and frowned at Ye Zhao: "I am very curious, how do you make these soldiers so united and fight to the death without retreating?"

Even if the elite of the court encountered the predicament of Ye Zhao just now, they would probably not be able to support the reinforcements. Ye Zhao held on in adversity. Five thousand soldiers died and five hundred were left, and they still fought to the death. Perhaps there was no way out, but no matter what the reason was, this army was already an iron army.

"There is nothing else, and you will have to give up. The scholar will not have any thoughts on his mind!" Ye Zhao bowed and said.

"If you have to give up, you will not have any thoughts on your own?" Huangfu Song repeated Ye Zhao's words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a slight look: "Okay, I always thought you were just young and energetic. I relied on luck to win a few battles and was unruly. Now it seems that it is no accident that you can win a battle. I am sure of your request, but this contribution has nothing to do with you!"

"Thank you, General!" Ye Zhao bowed deeply.

"Haha, I'm afraid that only the soldiers under his tent can be told to bow their heads. I, a great man, have such a general, so why worry!" Huangfu Song couldn't help laughing happily when he heard this, and he really felt a little cherishing for Ye Zhao.

Sun Jian chased through Xi'e for thirty miles. The Yellow Turban Army's corpses were everywhere before he led his troops back. Seeing that the first battle was won, Huangfu Song immediately ordered the army to clear the battlefield. After setting up camp in Xi'e, he summoned the generals to discuss the next step of regaining Nanyang.

"Our army won the first battle, and it was time to pursue it as a rainbow. However, Zhang Mancheng was entrenched in Wancheng, and Han Zhong, Sun Zhong, and Zhao Hong were also the minions in Nanyang. In addition, the remnants of Runan brought by He Yi, Liu Pi and Gongdu, the Yellow Turban Army had a population of 300,000, and the number was ten times that of our army. I wonder what tricks you have to break the enemy?" In the central army's tent, Huangfu Song was above the commander's position and said in a deep voice as he looked at the generals.

The reshuffle of the interests brought by the Yellow Turban Rebellion is now coming to an end. Whether it is the Emperor Liu Hong or the aristocratic family, there is no need for the Yellow Turban Army. On the contrary, the existence of the Yellow Turban Army has become an unstable factor. Therefore, the interests of the court and the aristocratic families are surprisingly consistent in the face of the Yellow Turban Army, that is, to end the turmoil as soon as possible.

"Cao thinks that the Nanyang Yellow Turbans should be led by Zhang Man. We can avoid the other tribes, mainly Wancheng, and annihilate Zhang Mancheng. As long as we can kill Zhang Mancheng, the other Yellow Turban thieves are not worthy of evidence!" Cao Cao stood up and bowed to Huangfu Song.

"What Meng De said is deeply my heart." Huangfu Song nodded. He used this method of beheading to deal with the Yellow Turban Army, but then he frowned and said, "It's just that Wancheng is solid, and Zhang Mancheng has gathered tens of thousands of troops here, and it is difficult to break it in a hurry. I wonder what method you have to break Wancheng quickly?"
