Not long after Pei Yuanshao climbed up from under the ravine, the battlefield was also cleaned. In this battle, a total of more than 13,500 enemies were annihilated, 57,000 were captured, and a large amount of materials were captured, especially horses, the largest number, with a total of more than 50,000 war horses and pack horses. The losses of the Yizhou army were not small, with more than 3,800 killed and more than 2,500 wounded, including more than 400 seriously wounded. The bodies of the Xiliang Army were dug and buried in pits under the supervision of those uninjured prisoners, but the dead soldiers of the Yizhou Army asked to wash their bodies, change their clothes and pants, and transport them to Hanzhong or Chengdu for burial (they were supposed to be cremated on the spot, but after Dong Zhuo was captured, the Northern Expedition came to an end, and the bodies of the fallen soldiers could be sent back to Yizhou for burial). However, these soldiers were not sent back to Yizhou in the end, but were ordered by Liu Zhang to be buried ten miles west of the Changling Tomb of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and built a martyr's Ling Garden there, and the first batch of offerings were made to the loyal souls of the fallen soldiers of the Northern Expedition).

In the afternoon of the same day, Wei Yan ordered Yu Ban to lead his troops to capture Yuzhi County in the east of Shegu Mountain, but perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it is more appropriate to take over, it turned out that the battle of Shegu Mountain had already alarmed Sun Ying, Yuzhi County Ling, he was even ready to send hundreds of county soldiers in the county to rescue Dong Zhuo and make political capital, but he did not expect that when he dragged his feet to gather troops and horses to prepare to go to Shegu Mountain to help in the battle, there was bad news from the front, Dong Zhuo was defeated and captured. Sun Ying was frightened and fainted at that time, and his subordinates were watering and inserting people, and finally woke up, and immediately fled with his family and a few hearts, and since then he has disappeared. After Yu Ban led his troops to the city, the county commander ordered to give up all resistance and personally went out of the city to surrender with household registration, civil registers, seals and other things.

Subsequently, Wei Yan took over Yuzhi County and placed tens of thousands of captives in the city for treatment.

Yuzhi is only a small county, and the medicine will be emptied all of a sudden, but the medicine needed is still greatly insufficient, and tens of thousands of mouths have suddenly increased waiting for food, and the grain in the hands of the county treasury and grain merchants will be exhausted in less than ten days, and it is absolutely impossible to buy grain from the people. Most of the nearly 10,000 people in the county town do not have enough to eat, and some often die of hunger and cold, Wei Yan even had to take out the already small amount of food relief, how can he still buy grain from the people?

Although the amount of military rations to help the people is about to bottom, Wei Yan had to temporarily reduce the soldiers' rations, but fortunately, although the soldiers were hungry for a few days, they gained the hearts of the local people, and the local situation stabilized the next day, and the people also spontaneously helped the soldiers treat those injured soldiers, perhaps vacating the room at home and inviting the soldiers to live at home, Wei Yan did not object to this, but asked each soldier to record in detail what materials he ate and used in the people's homes. In the future, the people will be compensated according to the market price. Of course, Wei Yan couldn't watch his tens of thousands of soldiers starving every day, watching the wounded soldiers die due to lack of medical treatment, he sent an order to Liang Xi, who stayed in Chencang, to collect food and medicine as much as possible, and send them to Yu Zhi as quickly as possible, and at the same time mentioned Yu Zhi's situation when he reported the good news to Liu Zhang, hoping that Liu Zhang would order to mobilize some supplies from the rear to Yu Zhi.

The next night, the heralds sent by Wei Yan met Liu Zhang, who was in the dust on the Loess Plateau. It turned out that Wei Yan learned through interrogating the captives that Liu Zhang led his army into Bingzhou and continued to pursue Dong Zhuo northward, so ten heralds were sent to the northeast in a fan shape, and Liu Zhang led the army from Gaonu to the northwest and met the heralds about seventy miles northeast of Yuzhi.

Liu Zhang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned the news of Dong Zhuo's defeat and capture, and he didn't allow Wei Yan's request to mobilize materials, and he was fully responsible for his life.

Dong Zhuo was captured, and Liu Zhang naturally had no need to continue to go north, so he ordered Gao Shun, Chen Gong, Shan Fu and others to lead 40,000 soldiers and horses to continue to go north and capture Wuwei, the last place held by Xiliang, and he led the army to Yuzhi.

The next day, Liu Zhang saw Wei Yan in Yuzhi and really praised him, and then Liu Zhang personally went to see the captured Dong Zhuo and Li Ru, Dong Zhuo and Li Ru had already expected the ending, and did not react violently to Liu Zhang's arrival, and even had a short conversation with Liu Zhang calmly. When Liu Zhang was about to leave, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but make a little request to Liu Zhang, he hoped that Liu Zhang could spare his family, and if Liu Zhang agreed, he was willing to write a letter demanding that all Xiliang soldiers, including Wuwei Duan Xuan and others, surrender to Yizhou. Liu Zhang said that he could only let go of Dong Zhuo's daughter-in-law who was pregnant with Liujia, and as for them, they would be sent to Luoyang with Dong Zhuo to be handed over to Emperor Xian for disposal, of course, these people were only limited to those with higher status in the Dong family, those who were insignificant and not very evil, Liu Zhang said that he would deal with them according to the situation. Dong Zhuo originally didn't have much hope, but it was a surprise to be able to get this promise, so he naturally agreed, and wrote down several orders on the spot and handed them to Liu Zhang, so that Liu Zhang could summon Duan Xuan and the others. As for whether Liu Zhang will break his promise, this is unlikely in Dong Zhuo's opinion, he still knows a little about Liu Zhang's character, and if Liu Zhang is breaking his promise, why didn't he promise Dong Zhuo that he would let everyone in the Dong family go, and then break the contract when he got Dong Zhuo's warrant?

The already insufficient grain and grass was even more stretched because of the increase of more than 20,000 people in Liu Zhang's department, and the transportation of grain and grass in the northwest was inconvenient, so Liu Zhang led the main force to Chang'an on the second day, leaving Gong Du in Yuzhi as a "prison warden" to take care of tens of thousands of Xiliang prisoners.

Although there was no combat mission and there was no need to hurry up, but the army carried limited grain and grass, Liu Zhang still had to order the army to speed up the march, and the army went down the Jingshui River, and finally arrived in Chang'an four days later.

Jia Yun, who stayed in Chang'an, had already received a report from the light cavalry, prepared fragrant broth and hot rice early, and even mobilized the people in the city to boil bath water for the dusty soldiers.

Liu Zhang ordered all troops except the Tiger Guard Division (except for Jia Yunbu, of course) to remove their combat posture, take a bath, eat, and rest. The soldiers, who had been barely half-fed for several days, immediately rushed to the nearest quarter, took a half-foot-long bowl full of rice, poured broth, and covered it with stewed and rotten beef, mutton and pork, sat down on the spot, and stuffed food into their mouths with a snort, just like a hungry refugee suddenly entering a porridge field.

Everyone looked at the "bear-like" of the soldiers under them, their faces were pale, and they almost rushed up and kicked them to the ground one by one, Zhang Fei secretly said: "Damn, it's a shame to lose your hair!" ”

Liu Zhang didn't care, smiled and said to the people around him that he had already instructed the gang to take care of the room, and then let everyone clean up after eating, and then sleep well, and no one would pull them up from the bed after sleeping for three days and three nights.

Liu Zhang's words naturally attracted thunderous cheers.

Since Guan Yu took Chang'an, seeing that the people were living in difficulty, he ordered the opening of fifteen porridge tents in the city for disaster relief, although it was only a bowl of half-dry and half-thin rice and a steamed bun per person, but it saved the lives of many people in the city. After Guan Yu left, Jia Yun saw that the city was full of dirt and weeds, he was a very smart and far-sighted person, he guessed that even if Liu Zhang's Northern Expedition was successful, even if he did not move to Chang'an, he would inevitably go to Chang'an to inspect it, if he let Chang'an greet Liu Zhang like this, I am afraid it would make Liu Zhang's heart dissatisfied, so he changed the way of free relief, changed to work for relief, and mobilized the people in the city to help the soldiers clean up the city. As soon as the notice came out, almost all the people in Chang'an City who were unable to live sustainably went out of their homes and cleaned up under the command of the soldiers.

Walking on the streets of Chang'an, Liu Zhang was blocked by the enthusiastic people again and again, no wonder these people were so excited, it was really that they had already suffered under Dong Zhuo's tyranny, and although the Yizhou army had only become the new master of the Great Wall for more than ten days, they had no offense against the ordinary people, and they also opened a warehouse for relief. As for those who had been in the past who had been powerful and guilty of the most heinous crimes, they were also arrested, and it was heard that they would be judged by the people, and those who had been persecuted by them at that time could testify against them, and if they were confirmed, they would be punished as they deserved.

Looking at the enthusiastic and excited people, Liu Zhang finally truly understood Xunzi's famous sentence "The gentleman, the boat also; Those who are common to the people, the water is also; The water will carry the boat, and the water will overturn the boat". So Liu Zhang announced in front of tens of thousands of people that because the people of Chang'an were deeply affected by Dong Zhuo's disaster, their lives were difficult, and they couldn't eat, he decided to exempt the people of Chang'an from agricultural taxes for three years and commercial taxes for one year, and this policy was applicable to the entire Sanfu and Xiliang land. As soon as this remark came out, the mood of the people climbed to a new high again, I don't know who shouted a sentence "Long live the general of the chariot", soon, the whole city sounded the same voice, as if someone commanded, hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an shouted in unison, the voice echoed endlessly, even the people twenty miles away from Chang'an City also vaguely heard, they didn't know the good news, they just turned their heads to look in the direction of Chang'an, their faces were puzzled, they didn't understand what the people in the city were crazy!

Liu Zhang originally wanted to go to the palace to see, but a large number of people followed behind him, and it was inconvenient for him to spread the news of his private entry into the palace, so he changed his destination and went to Dong Zhuo's "Prime Minister's Mansion", in fact, Dong Zhuo's Prime Minister's Mansion and the palace are only separated by a wall, and you can get there by walking two more steps.
