Guo Jia cupped his hands at Cao Cao and said,"The situation is unclear now. We shouldn't act rashly." Our army should withdraw to Chenliu, Qiao County, recruit soldiers and buy horses to wait and see. At the same time, send reliable people to Luoyang to understand the situation before making a decision. Also, he had to send someone to contact the former general and see what his plans were.”
Cao Cao nodded." Fengxiao is right. Just do as Feng Xiao says." He then ordered the entire army to pack up and prepare to retreat to Qiao County.
At this time, Xun Yu suggested,"If we release the hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban captives just like that, not only will it be a pity, but there will also be endless trouble in the future." It's better to recruit the best of them for my use.”
Cao Cao accepted Xun Yu's suggestion and personally went to the captive camp to comfort the captured soldiers. He also sent a large amount of wine and meat to reward these Yellow Turban prisoners.
Cao Cao's gesture was not in vain. The Yellow Turban captives were all grateful to Cao Cao.
Later, when Cao Cao selected soldiers, almost all the surrendered Yellow Turban soldiers hoped to be selected.
In the end, Cao Cao selected 60,000 strong soldiers.
Cao Cao did not make things difficult for the soldiers who were not selected. Instead, he let them all go.
For a time, Cao Cao's name resounded throughout Yingchuan.
On the other side, Han Sheng had stationed 130,000 soldiers in Zhaoge.
Yingchuan's Yellow Turban Army had already collapsed, and there was no need to continue south.
Han Sheng planned to wait for the imperial court's order in Zhaoge before making his next move.
When Han Sheng was stationed in Zhaoge, the prefect of Zhaoge was extremely obedient.
Not only did he often invite Han Sheng to banquets, but he also kept sending gifts. There was even one time when the prefect gave Han Sheng ten beautiful women at the banquet.
At that time, Han Sheng was very excited. Han Sheng, who was born two thousand years later, had never experienced such a scene!
However, Han Sheng did not accept the ten beauties. It was not that he was a gentleman, but he was sure that one of the ten beauties was a confidant of the other party. He did not dare to take the risk.
Seeing that Han Sheng wasn't tempted by women, the Mayor of Zhaoge felt a chill down his spine and became even more respectful to Han Sheng.
One day, Han Sheng was discussing with his five generals when a guard suddenly came to report that the messenger sent to Luoyang had sent a messenger back.
Han Sheng quickly summoned him.
The messenger entered and greeted him. Then, he took out a letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands.
Han Sheng took it, opened it, and his expression changed.
The letter didn't mention anything else but Dong Zhuo's occupation of Luoyang in the name of clearing the emperor's side.
Han Sheng couldn't help but feel puzzled. In his memory, Dong Zhuo should have done this five years later!
"Big brother, what is it that has troubled you so much?”，Zhao Yun asked when she saw Han Sheng frowning.
Han Sheng shook his head with a troubled expression and handed the letter to Zhao Yun. After seeing this, Zhao Yun's expression changed drastically. He cupped his fists and said to Han Sheng,"Big brother, what should we do now that Dong Zhuo has defected?!”
Dian Wei and Zhao Yun couldn't hold it in any longer. Dian Wei asked impatiently,"Big brother, what exactly happened? Why did Eldest Brother and Second Brother have such expressions?”
Han Sheng raised his head and looked at the three anxious people. Then, he said to Zhao Yun,""Zilong, tell everyone the contents of the letter.”
Zhao Yun agreed and immediately told him about Dong Zhuo in detail.
As soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, she said loudly,"I was wondering what it was, but after all this time, it was just this little thing! Big brother, don't worry. I only need 30,000 men to charge into Luoyang and capture Dong Zhuo!”
At this moment, Lu Bu hurriedly requested,""My lord, I only need five thousand cavalry to behead Dong Zhuo!”
Seeing that Lu Bu was here to steal the credit, Dian Wei glared at him and shouted,""If you only want 5,000, then we only want 1,000!”
The two of them immediately started arguing in the hall.
Seeing the two of them arguing again, Han Sheng suddenly felt annoyed.
He slammed the table and shouted,"Shut up! How could there be so much noise during a meeting?”
Seeing that Han Sheng was angry, Weiwei stopped arguing.
The two of them lowered their heads and glared at each other.
Han Sheng couldn't help but sigh in distress. He felt like he was in a dilemma.
At this time, Han Sheng was more and more eager to have a counselor to give him advice.
Zhao Yun looked at Han Sheng, waiting for his decision.
After a long while, Han Sheng decided to station his troops in Zhaoge and wait and see.
Han Sheng's decision was not wrong, but he did not consider the issue of logistics.
It was because of the problem of supplies that Guo Jia suggested Cao Cao withdraw his army to Chenliu and Qiao County.
