"Look, a xanthopanax is walking towards us."

A Jizhou government army soldier guarding the left side of the crater was patrolling when she suddenly saw a xanthopanax soldier come down from the opposite side of the mountain. What surprised them was that the xanthopanax soldier was not being chased by his companions, but was swaggering towards them. The patrolling soldier could not help but stop in his tracks, waiting for the xanthopanax soldier.

"My lords, I am a messenger sent by General Yan Zheng. I have something to see you all, Lord General."

When they heard that it was a messenger from the xanthopanax, the patrolling officers and soldiers did not dare make the decision on their own. Looking at the messenger again, other than carrying a bag in his hands, he did not bring any weapons.

"What's in the package?"

"A present for the Lord General."

"Come with us."

The patrolling soldier shouted and walked up the mountain with the xanthopanax soldier. Not long later, they returned to the camp and reported the news to the centurions. The hundred people did not dare delay, and immediately went to find the thousand strong generals to report it to Yang Lin, one level at a time.

"Bring him in."

The xanthopanax soldier followed his personal guards and walked into Yang Lin's Big Account. Seeing that the head of the Big Account was seated a tall general, he kneeled down on the ground and kowtowed three times towards Yang Lin. Then, he raised the package above his head and spoke loudly.

"General Yan Zheng submitted it to the lord."

The personal guard took the bag and was about to give it to Yang Lin, but unexpectedly, Yang Lin frowned and waved his hand, signalling the personal guard to open it. The janissary placed the package on the ground and opened it. Then, he jumped up in shock.

"Head?"

"Yes, this is Zhang Bao's head. Zhang Bao had already been killed by General Yan Zheng and his head had been cut off to offer to Master. General Yan Zheng and the four generals Gao Sheng, Ren Zhi, and Qian Lin felt that the Lord General was a benevolent and righteous man, and decided to surrender to the Lord General.

History finally repeated itself once more. Even though Zhang Bao had defeated Huangfu Song, he still had not escaped the fate of being assassinated by his subordinates. Thinking till this point, Yang Lin couldn't help but be apprehensive. Was history really going to follow a predetermined path? he asked lightly, looking at the messenger.

"Oh, who is in charge on the mountain now?"

"Reporting to the Lord General, there are four generals on the mountain right now. When this little one went down the mountain, the four generals repeatedly ordered. In order to prevent Zhang Bao Tribe from causing any trouble, I hope Lord General can make a decision beforehand and allow us to surrender this afternoon. "

"Alright, just you wait."

Yang Lin waved his hands, and asked the guards to bring Yan Zheng's messenger down. When the messenger walked out of the tent, Yang Lin let out a long sigh. Even though they had taken some detours, the xanthopanax was finally completely destroyed. Now, as long as he gave the order, two hundred and fifty thousand xanthopanax s would arrive at the foot of the mountain.

"Inform the generals and strategists to come to my Big Account to discuss the matter."

When the various generals and strategists walked into Yang Lin's tent, hearing that Zhang Bao had been killed and the xanthopanax was prepared to surrender, their faces revealed expressions of shock. It was as if no one expected the seemingly difficult Zhang Bao to surrender so easily. However, they did not reveal any overjoyed looks on their faces. They only let out a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.

"Big brother, if the last xanthopanax surrendered, wouldn't we have nothing to do?"

Zhang Fei suddenly said, surprising everyone again. All of a sudden, everyone looked slightly displeased. After a year of intense battles, everyone had gotten used to this kind of lifestyle. Suddenly, there were no more battles, and they really did not know where they should go.

"All birds are gone, and good bows are hidden. The hare died and the dog was cooked. If the enemy country falls, then the strategist will perish. "

Everyone present, whether it was the generals or strategists, seemed to have thought of this sentence in an instant. However, no one said it out loud. The Big Account was no longer as lively as it was in the past, as if they were all lowering their heads and thinking about their own thoughts. Yang Lin naturally understood everyone's thoughts, and smiled towards everyone.

"Although the xanthopanax has surrendered, there is still a lot of work to be done to arrange these xanthopanax s. How can I not have something to do? Furthermore, the world is still not at peace. We will be able to use it. "

However, Yang Lin's words did not resonate with everyone, they only laughed politely. In fact, Yang Lin was very clear that after the history of Yellow Mask had been pacified, all the soldiers that were recruited had been disbanded, and the strategists had returned home. It was only after the death of Hanling Emperor Liu Hong that the generals and strategists started to enjoy the good fortune again.

"Lord General, I think we cannot accept xanthopanax's surrender. If we accept the surrender of these two hundred and fifty thousand xanthopanax, we will definitely be attacked again by the Minister of the Court s, and we might even be looked down upon by the emperor. We will have the imperial court accept their surrender, hand over the honor of calming the yellow cloth to the emperor, and have the emperor settle these two hundred and fifty thousand xanthopanax s. "

Just as everyone was making their own plans, Zhang Banxian suddenly spoke out. As soon as his words came out, everyone understood his unspoken words. What about having the imperial government accept the surrender? They wanted to use the two hundred and fifty thousand xanthopanax s to bargain with the imperial government. Only the Zhang Banxian would dare to say something like that. The other advisors, such words that would embarrass the Emperor, would definitely not say it even if it were on their lips, before Hanling Emperor and Liu Hong died.

"That's a good idea."

Of course, Yang Lin understood the Zhang Banxian's thoughts, but he immediately thought of a bigger and more distant plan. After the second time in history, the imperial government did not manage to eliminate Army of Montenegro Zhang Yan. Why not let the imperial government subdue Yan Zheng and the rest?

If they were captured and disarmed, they could only be a group of farmers with no authority over the court. And once they were recruited, they would retain their weapons. At any time, they would be an alliance of authority for the imperial government. No matter how unwilling the imperial government was, it had to get Yang Lin to reserve the necessary troops to deal with this alliance.

"Mr. Zhang's words make a lot of sense. This also allows the Emperor to experience the honor of being the victor. Mr. Zhang, then I will have to trouble you to make a trip, follow Yan Zheng's messenger, make a trip up the mountain, discuss the matter of surrender to the imperial government with Yan Zheng and the other generals. "

"Understood."

The Zhang Banxian was a smart person, he immediately understood what Yang Lin meant. Yan Zheng and the rest surrendered, other than requesting for their lives to be safe, they did not mention any conditions, but Yang Lin told them to go and discuss, isn't that why he had to negotiate conditions with the imperial government for the sake of the xanthopanax?

Right now, Yang Lin was the thorny history that the imperial government had sent to Jizhou, and he was already a representative for the imperial government. With Zhang He, Gao Lan, and the other new generals, Yang Lin could not personally say anything, and as for what requests he had of the imperial government, he could only rely on himself to figure it out.

However, Yan Zheng didn't expect them to surrender and instead sent a Military Advisor up the mountain. However, he immediately concluded that Yang Lin doing this was definitely not a bad thing. He immediately gathered the generals of centurion and went to his Big Account and welcomed the Zhang Banxian.

"Greetings Military Advisor."

Yan Zheng led all the generals of the xanthopanax and lay on the ground respectfully, kowtowing to Zhang Ling who was sitting on the seat of the Big Account three times. In that moment, the Zhang Banxian could not help but feel a little smug. It turned out that the feeling of being a Honored Warrior was not so simple.

"No need to stand. All of you, get up."

After the General of the Yellow Scarf Army finished kowtowing, the Zhang Banxian spoke softly. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but find it hilarious. He had already paid his respects, what was there to be so polite about? When the General of the Yellow Scarf Army got up, he said indifferently.

"Generals, previously, you were deceived by Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, and were all guilty of treason. Right now, all of you are lost and know your way back to the Lord General. This is your only right decision. Lord General has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, so I am happy to exempt you from the death penalty and accept you under my account, so I have come here to accept you all. "

"Thank you Lord General."

From Zhang Banxian's words, he understood that not only did the Lord General guarantee their safety, he also pushed the responsibility of participating in the rebellion onto the three brothers, and at the same time, brought them under the jurisdiction of the Lord General. The moment Yan Zheng got excited, he immediately knelt down in front of the Zhang Banxian, and the other officers did not dare to be negligent, and quickly knelt down as well.

"Get up."

This time, Zhang Banxian stood up, walked up, and personally supported Yan Zheng, Gao Sheng, Ren Zhi Zun, Qian Lin and the other generals who were kneeling in front of them. He smiled and patted them on the shoulder, and began to converse with them intimately, as if she was extremely close to them.

"Everyone here is a general of the tiger."

Looking at the xanthopanax s standing in front of him like steel towers, Zhang Banxian couldn't help but praise them. At the same time, she secretly rejoiced that these generals would become generals of the Lord General, without needing to make enemies with them again, she smiled and asked.

"Generals, this Lord General is very concerned about you. Have you requested for me to ask everyone if you have any requests?"

"Request?"

Yan Zheng was surprised, his own people had been exempted from punishment by the Lord General, and they were even accepted by the Lord General, he was already extremely grateful, why would he have any requests? Seeing the serious look on the Zhang Banxian's face, he hurriedly stepped forward and cupped his hands as he spoke.

"Military Advisor, we have submitted to Lord General and we are willing to lead his by the horse and lead his by the whip. We do not dare to have any requests."

"I on behalf of the Lord General appreciate your kindness. However, the Lord General had always been good to the soldiers and soldiers, and the results were clear. This time, General Yan Zheng was able to kill Zhang Bao, throw him into the shadows, and avoid getting killed. General Yan Zheng, if you have any requirements, you can state it clearly to the Lord General. Wait until Lord General goes to the imperial government, we will definitely reward General Yan Zheng greatly. "

Hearing that he had to be heavily rewarded, Yan Zheng was of course happy. But Yan Zheng was also a little confused. Since he wanted a big prize, why should he ask me? It is up to you to decide how you want to reward them. Why don't you just directly present your rewards to the imperial court?

"This subordinate deeply believes in the kindness of the Lord General and will definitely go through fire and water for the Lord General. However, let's not talk about the heavy rewards. "

Zhang Banxian almost fainted. This Yan Zheng, she really is a pig head. However, he could not say it clearly. If word of this were to spread in the future and someone with ulterior motives were to attack the Lord General above the imperial court, it would not be worth it.
