”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. ”
