The next morning, in the early morning mist, the scout saw that Yuan Shao's army had actually withdrawn! The scout immediately returned to Hulao Pass.

Zhang Lang quickly climbed the city gate tower and looked out the city. At this time, the fog was thick, and he saw that Yuan Shao's army seemed to be retreating. Ma Chao asked for his order: "General, let me lead the army to attack him!" Zhang Lang patted his shoulder, "No need! Let the soldiers stay in the city, what should they do?" "Yes."

The sun rose and the fog was rising, and it was already visible. Yuan Shao's army was indeed retreating!

Zhang Lang looked at Yuan Shao's army who was retreating north and smiled slightly.

Two days later, Huang Yueying led the main force to Hulao Pass. Zhang Lang spared Huang Zhong and 20,000 infantry troops to guard Hulao Pass, and led the remaining soldiers back to Luoyang.

Luoyang is the largest city today, probably the largest city in the world. The prosperous Luoyang fell into Zhang Lang's hands intact. However, although Zhang Lang got Luoyang, it seemed that he did not get the hearts of the people living here. The team was bleak on the streets, and the doors and windows of the shops and houses on both sides were closed. The whole Luoyang city was so quiet that it made people feel unhappy, and the air was filled with suspicion, fear and hatred.

Zhang Lang walked into Yuan Shao's mansion. The mansion where Dong Zhuo once lived was large in appearance, with magnificent pavilions and towers, with small bridges, flowing water, green bamboos and green mountains, which were so beautiful that it could be called a fairyland on earth, enjoying the pure land. Zhang Lang walked to the head, sat down, and smiled and said, "Just not long ago, Yuan Shao was still sitting here!" The generals laughed, and Cao Xing shouted, "How could that guy Yuan Shao be qualified to do this position! Only the generals could sit in this position!"

Zhang Lang nodded with his finger, "Phone my flattery! But it makes me feel comfortable!"

The generals burst into laughter. Huang Yueying clasped her fists and said, "Brother, although Luoyang has accepted it intact, people's hearts are not attached! The most urgent task should be to win people's hearts!"

Ma Chao said loudly: "I thought it was because I immediately searched for the remnants of Yuan Shao!"

Huang Yueying said anxiously: "No! In this way, Luoyang will inevitably be in chaos! Our army has just entered Luoyang and has not yet established a stable foothold. If a large-scale search is carried out at this time, it will be detrimental to our army!"

Ma Chao said angrily: "Do you let the remnants of Yuan Shao be free and easy? They will definitely be unfavorable to us with Yuan Shao's Antong music! You can't wait until they really do something and then deal with it!"

Huang Yueying said: "The general said something, but he only knows one thing but not the other! First of all, most of the so-called Yuan Shao's followers are just forced by the situation; secondly, even if those Yuan Shao's followers want to be bad for us, we cannot search for him and his past interactions with Yuan Shao without evidence. This will only make the people feel disheartened and afraid, and it is very unfavorable for us to rule Luoyang! Even if we want to take action, we must have conclusive evidence! It is true that these people are very likely to be bad for us, but we must not kill because of this possibility. The consequences of doing so will be greater than good."

Ma Chao felt that Huang Yueying’s words were reasonable. Although he was unwilling to let those people go, he didn’t say anything.

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "What Yueying said is very much my wish!" He looked up at Cao Xing and said, "Cao Xing, immediately take people to all streets and alleys to post a notice of peace!" "No." Cao Xing agreed with his fists and left the hall.

"General Ma Teng, go to the warehouse immediately and open the warehouse to release grain. I see that there are many refugees and beggars in this city!"

Ma Teng took the order and left in a hurry.

His eyes turned to Huang Yueying's face, and Huang Yueying smiled and said, "Brother, I'll organize Yuan Shao's official documents here."

Zhang Lang nodded with a smile.

Xuchang.

Cao Cao frowned after reading the report he had just received, "I didn't expect it! That's the ending." He stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and looked out of the window in a daze.

Guo Jia came in, glanced at Cao Cao, and walked over gently. "Lord."

Cao Cao withdrew his thoughts and sighed, "I didn't expect that Yuan Shao and the clam were fighting each other, but Lu Bu was the fisherman!" Guo Jia frowned and said, "I didn't expect this section! I didn't expect that Yuan Shao's nearly 300,000 troops were guarding Luoyang and Hangu Pass, and Shouyang Mountain, and the entire army was wiped out in such a short time!"

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, "Yes! I didn't expect that Yuan Shao was so useless!" He paused and frowned and said, "I'm very worried about Lu Bu! This person is more threatening than ten Yuan Shaos! I was wondering whether he should join forces with Yuan Shao and destroy Lu Bu first!"

Guo Jia was silent for a moment, "Lord, I thought I should destroy Yuan Shao first, and then compete with Lu Bu for power!"

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, "Oh? Why did Fengxiao say this?"

"One of the matter, it is impossible for us and Yuan Shao to work together to deal with Lu Bu, just like the Eastern countries dealing with the powerful Qin back then, and it is impossible for us to work together. Once the progress is not going well, we will all give in. Once it is beneficial, we will fight for power and profits for each other. The Eastern countries joined forces for decades, but Qin became stronger and stronger!"

Cao Cao nodded thinking, "What if you mean by filial piety?"

Guo Jia thought, "You can station all the main forces in Xuchang, so that Lu Bu dare not transfer the main forces from Luoyang. Sun Jian in the south is attacking Xiangyang. As long as no one intervenes, Liu Bei in Xiangyang will be destroyed by Sun Jian! Sun Jian, who occupied Xiangyang, directly threatened Nanyang and Hanzhong, and Lu Bu had to turn his attention to the south! We can take this opportunity to fight Yuan Shao in a decisive battle!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, "Okay! Fengxiao's words made me suddenly enlightened! Hahaha! It seems that Lu Bu defeated Yuan Shao, but it was not all bad things!" The country nodded with a smile.

Yuan Shao, who returned to Jizhou, was unwilling to fail and actively planned to counterattack Luoyang, and the military generals were all gathering.

The eyes turned back.

Zhang Lang sat in the hall of the General's Mansion, looking at the report he had just received, frowned. The General's Mansion is Yuan Shao's mansion before, and it used to be Dong Zhuo's mansion, but now it has changed its third owner.

Zhang Lang let go of the report and frowned and said, "Yuan Shao's thief is undead. I believe it will be long before he will counterattack Luoyang. Cao Cao has stationed hundreds of thousands of heavy troops in Xuchang. Obviously, he has ulterior motives!" He looked up at Huang Yueying, who was thinking, "Yueying, do you think our current army in Luoyang is enough?"

Huang Yueying thought, "If you consider the worst case, it will not be enough. But I think things may not be that simple!"

Zhang Lang said: "No matter what, you have to increase your troops in Luoyang! In addition, I also plan to expand the army and add a new Luoyang army! What do you think?"

Huang Yueying thought, "With the current financial resources, there should be no problem!"
