When our army rushed into the camp, we saw the Yellow Turban soldiers who could not move.”All of them committed suicide and no one surrendered. The tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers and wounded soldiers who could move supported each other and threw themselves into the rolling river. The scene was silent. The entire army was shocked by this scene. I shouted," Play music for these martyrs. Play the song 'Praise of Heroes.' These people are true heroes. They fought for their ideals and died for their ideals. The rolling Yellow River! Bury the remains of these Yellow Turban soldiers.”Zhou Cang ran over and shouted,"Brothers, I'm Zhou Cang. Come back quickly."”But no one came back! Zhou Cang actually fainted from crying.

"Next, I ordered that these Yellow Turban soldiers who committed suicide and died in battle be buried. The entire army was silent, and everyone was proceeding in an orderly manner. The bodies of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers who had died in battle were buried. We also found Zhang Jiao's grave. Someone suggested that we dig out Zhang Jiao's body, cut off his head, and send it to the capital. "The dead are dead," I said.”

At this time, I hadn't finished my later work when I received an imperial edict from the imperial court, asking me to lead my troops south to support Zhu. This was because Zhu was at a disadvantage in attacking Yangcheng. I can only leave the rest of the work to Huangfu Song and immediately lead the troops south.

Huangfu Song, on the other hand, wasn't as kind as me. He was known as the Butcher General. After I left, he immediately threw the bodies of the Yellow Turban soldiers who were not buried into the wilderness. He also sent people to dig up the grave of the Yellow Turban commander, Zhang Jiao. He split open Zhang Jiao's coffin, cut off Zhang Jiao's head, and sent it to the court. The court was very happy and promoted Huangfu Song to the rank of General of Chariots and Cavalry, concurrently serving as the herdsman of Jizhou. Huangfu Song also reported that Lu Zhi had made no mistakes. The Ling Emperor of the imperial court was happy and restored Lu Zhi's official position. I, Cao Cao, am the number one hero. The Spirit Monarch of the imperial court is overjoyed and praises my talent greatly. The Spirit Emperor is liking me more and more. He said that after the Yellow Turban bandits are eliminated, he must meet me. However, the war had not yet ended, and he had ordered me to eliminate the remnants of the Yellow Turban army. I was promoted by the court to general of hussars and general of Zhonglang.

I led the army to the area around Yang City. Zhu hurriedly led his generals to meet me. I'm not an ordinary person anymore. I'm a first-class official of the Imperial Court, and the fifty thousand elite soldiers under me are old bulls. At this moment, Zhu Shi walked a few miles outside the camp. "We're all doing our best for the court, General Zhu is too polite."”Zhu quickly said,"There, General Cao is here. This traitor Zhang Bao will definitely be defeated. The Yellow Turban Rebellion is about to end."”We greeted each other politely for a while before entering the tent together.

"How are the bandits?" I asked Zhu Dao in the tent.”"Right now," said Zhu,"the leader of the thieves, Zhang Bao, is defending Yangcheng. He won't fight.”"This Zhang Bao is quite capable."”"Zhang Bao is already a cornered beast," Zhu said. As long as our army attacks, the enemy will definitely be defeated.”"General Zhu is right," I said. But I think they will give us the head of their general.”"General Cao," said Zhu,"is what you said true?”"There are no jokes in the army," I replied. "Then do you dare to bet with me, General?" Zhu asked.”"As long as you fulfill one of my conditions, I'll make this bet with you."”"Alright, General, please speak."”"As long as the general continues to attack and create momentum, the bandits will definitely offer Zhang Bao's head."”"There can't be no time limit."”"Alright, as long as General Zhu attacks Yangcheng with all his might, Zhang Bao's head will be presented to him in three days."”"Then how should we gamble?" I took out my sword and said,"This is my beloved item. If I don't get the head in three days, I'll give this sword to you." What do you have in mind, General Zhu?" When the generals saw me draw the sword, they all felt the cold air coming from the sword. Zhu looked at the sword and said,"Good sword!" Alright, I'll use my BMW as a wager.”I asked," What BMW is it?" Zhu whispered a few words to his bodyguard. After a while, a horse neighed outside the tent, its sound like a dragon's roar. "What a good horse." Let's go and take a look."

When everyone arrived outside the tent, they saw a warhorse neighing. All the horses had their heads lowered, looking docile. I glanced at it and said,"It's the legendary Dragon Horse!"”"General Cao is indeed knowledgeable." No one can ride this horse. I captured it with an iron trap.”I said,"How about this? All the generals are here. I'll clap my hands with you as an oath. How about it?"”"Good!"

In the next three days, Zhu urged the army to attack Yangcheng with all their might. Sun City had not been breached because of Zhang Bao's personal command, but it was already in danger. I even placed my troops outside Yang City. They were dressed in bright armor and were filled with killing intent. I think three days of deterrence is enough.

On the night of the third day, I was a little worried. However, Zhu was a fool. He dared to bet with me that I had a foolproof plan. If Yan Zheng didn't make a move, I would send my Flying Dragon Guards to eliminate Zhang Bao. This Zhu was also very worried. This Cao Cao was a powerful character. I shouldn't have made a bet with him with my Dragon Horse in my excitement. However, as he watched the clock approach, he began to feel more and more confident.

Suddenly, someone came to report that Sun City was on fire. All the generals hurriedly looked over, only to find that Yangcheng was noisy and soon quiet again. About an hour later, the gates of Yangcheng opened. A group of people holding white flags walked out. The leader shouted,"Don't attack. We surrender." Zhang Bao's head is here." With that, a soldier walked over with a big plate. "Is it Zhang Bao?" I asked.”Zhu stepped forward and said,"Yes." General, I'm convinced of your chances of winning." I said,"Then…" Zhu endured his heartache and said,"I, Zhu, am a man of my word. The dragon horse will be delivered tomorrow.”"General Zhu is truly a gentleman," I said.”"Enter the city!" I ordered. The entire army quickly occupied the important place in Yang City.

I'm in the government office in Sun City. The civil and military officials stood on both sides. At this moment, Yan Zheng walked in trembling. When he saw me, he immediately knelt down and said,"Sinner Yan Zheng greets Great General." "Are you Yan Zheng?" I asked. "I am!" Yan Zheng said. "Why did you kill your lord?"”Zheng Yi heard my unfriendly tone and quickly said,"When I heard that Great General is coming, I decided to abandon the darkness and join the light. Kill Zhang Bao to show your sincerity." "Zhou Cang, what do you think I should do?"”Yan Zhengqi quickly crawled up to Zhou Cang and said,""Brother Zhou Cang, speak up for your brother.”Zhou Cang kicked him away and said," Who is your brother? You are an ungrateful and treacherous person. I, Zhou Cang, wish I could kill you alive. You still want me to plead for mercy?"”"Yan Zheng, let me tell you a story." Do you know about the Battle of Quyang?" "That's the Great General's invincible achievement," Yan Zheng said.”I said," In the battle of Quyang, Zhang Liang was your general. He died a heroic death, and all his troops died together with him. Not a single one of them surrendered. They all died! Not a single one! And the wounded moved me even more. They all jumped into the river to die. I made them surrender. However, not a single one of them turned around and surrendered. What does it mean to face death unflinchingly? This general admires it. What a group of righteous men!" The tent was silent as the generals recalled the scene from that day. He only heard Zhou Cang crying out in pain. Yan Zheng saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly crawled in front of me."Great General, please spare my life.”"Merit?" To a traitor like you, a shameless and despicable person who only wants to buy for glory. There is only one path waiting for you. Zhou Cang, I'll leave it to you." "Thank you, General!" Zhou Cang said. After saying that, Yan Zheng, who was naked like a dead pig, left the tent.

I sighed,"This is also a group of people, but why is the difference between them so big?"”
