Yeom Jang (염장, 閻長, ?-?) was a Silla general who is best known for assassinating Jang Bogo.[1] Yeom had actually been a subordinate of Jang Bogo, but their relationship apparently deteriorated as he was once punished by Jang for having been personally engaged in slave trade.
Eventually, Yeom turned to Kim Yang (김양, 金陽, 808-857), actual power of the Korean court, under whose direction, he went on a quest to kill Jang Bogo.
