Yŏm Chang
Silla general (fl. 9th century)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yŏm Chang (Korean: 염장; Hanja: 閻長, ? – ?), also mentioned as Yŏm Mun, was a Silla general who is best known for assassinating Chang Pogo.[1] Yŏm had been a subordinate of Chang Pogo, but their relationship apparently deteriorated as he was once punished by Chang Pogo for having been personally engaged in slave trade.[citation needed]
Eventually, Yŏm Chang, under the direction of Kim Yang[citation needed], assassinated Chang Pogo.[2]
