Speaking of Liu Bei and others, after their great victory, they returned to Zhuo County.
Upon seeing that Liu Bei and his two brothers had indeed defeated an enemy force of fifty thousand with just five hundred men, Liu Yan was overjoyed, feeling that this was no ordinary feat. In fact, it was because Liu Bei and his men had first slain both the vanguard and the commander-in-chief of the Yellow Turbans, causing the disheartened soldiers to flee toward their rear ranks, naturally spreading word of Liu Bei's formidable prowess and countless troops. Once the rear ranks heard of the commander's death, their morale completely dissipated. Having realized over these past months that rebellion was no easy matter, the fifty thousand troops dispersed like birds and beasts.
With the siege of Zhuo County lifted, Liu Yan then arranged a banquet to treat the three brothers and reward the five hundred soldiers under his command.
