Wang Han walked unimpeded to Dong Zhuo's corpse, took out a cleaver, and cut off Dong Zhuo's head, with no one daring to stop him.
After taking Dong Zhuo's head, Wang Han carried it out of the camp and shouted to the Xiliang soldiers, "All of you get out of Luoyang! Anyone who hasn't left within an hour and a half doesn't need to leave. I'll personally see them off."
After Wang Han left, Lü Bu immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Immediately gather the army's supplies and provisions, and follow me out of Luoyang. Notify the soldiers in the city to evacuate Luoyang."

In the imperial palace, Wang Yun and some ministers, who had arrived early for court, stood anxiously waiting.
"Report!" A soldier rushed into the court anxiously, knelt down and said, "This morning, a man carrying two huge hammers and a strong bow on his back stormed into the Prime Minister's residence. Soon after, the Prime Minister rode away to the military camp, and all the soldiers in the Prime Minister's residence fled."
"He fled to the military camp; Dong Zhuo is not dead." Upon hearing this, Wang Yun collapsed to the ground, and many loyal veteran officials also turned pale. Dong Zhuo was not dead; he had fled to the military camp. What awaited them was the revenge of Dong Zhuo and the soldiers within the camp. No one believed that anyone could kill Dong Zhuo after he had escaped into the military camp.
"Report!" Another soldier rushed anxiously into the Prime Minister's residence, knelt down and said, "The man who broke into the Prime Minister's residence this morning attacked the military camp after the Prime Minister fled from the residence to the camp."
"They marched into the military camp?" Upon hearing this, the ministers were somewhat taken aback, but none of them believed that someone could actually enter the Xiliang soldiers' camp and kill Dong Zhuo.
"Report..." Half an hour later, just as the ministers were in despair, another soldier rushed anxiously into the court, panting as he said, "Dong Zhuo is dead! Today, Dong Zhuo rushed into the military camp in a panic, and a man carrying a large hammer and a strong bow followed closely behind and charged in. Then, shouts of battle filled the military camp. Half an hour later, the man who had charged into the camp came out carrying Dong Zhuo's head. No Xiliang soldier dared to stop him. Afterwards, Lü Bu ordered the Xiliang soldiers to gather supplies and fodder, recall the Xiliang soldiers in various parts of the city, and prepare to withdraw from Luoyang."
"Dong Zhuo is dead, and the Xiliang troops are about to withdraw." Upon hearing the soldier's report, hope was rekindled in the eyes of all the loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty.
"Your Majesty," Wang Yun quickly stepped forward and said to the young emperor on the throne, "The traitor Dong Zhuo is dead, and the Xiliang troops are about to withdraw. Please issue an edict immediately to take over the defense of all parts of the city."
"But, Lord Situ, where are there so many soldiers in the city to take over the defense?" asked an uninformed minister.
"This old minister is willing to summon his servants and take over the defense," Wang Yun said, kneeling down along with more than ten other ministers.
"We are willing to summon our servants and take over the city's defenses," the other ministers said, kneeling down immediately.
