But that night, Zhang Liao shot Huang Gai into the water with an arrow, saving Cao Cao from landing. When he was looking for the horse, the army was in chaos. Han Dang came to attack the water camp with a sudden fire. Suddenly, he heard the soldiers report: "A man on the back rudder, shouting the general's words." Han Dang listened carefully, but heard Gao shouting, "Yi Gong save me?" Dang said: "This is Huang Gong's refusal!" He urgently rescued Huang Gai and was injured with an arrow, biting out the arrow shaft, and the arrow was trapped in the flesh. Han Dang was anxious.

He took off his wet clothes, cut out arrows with a knife, pulled the flag, took off his battle robe and Huang Gai, and sent him back to Dazhai for treatment. It turned out that Huang Gai knew the nature of water well, so when he was in the cold, he fell into the river and escaped his life. However, he said that the fire in the river was rolling that day, and shouting shocked the earth. On the left was Han Dang, Jiang Qin and his army came from the west of Chibi; on the right was Zhou Tai, Chen Wu and Chen Wu came from the east of Chibi; in the middle were Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu,

Xu Sheng and Ding Feng's brigade of ships arrived. Fire must be the response, and the soldiers resist the power of fire. This is exactly: the battle between the three rivers and the fierce battle of the Red Cliff. The Cao army was shot into arrows with guns, and the fire burned and drowned. Later generations wrote a poem saying: "Wei and Wu fought to conquer the male and female, and the boats in the Red Cliff Tower were swept away. The fire was at the beginning of the fire, and Zhou Lang once defeated Cao Gong here." Another tragic saying: "The mountains are high, the moon is small and the water is vast, and I sigh that the previous dynasty is busy with separatism. The Southern Soldiers were unwilling to welcome Wei Wu

The east wind intended to let Zhou Lang." Not to mention the fierce army in the river. Besides, Gan Ning ordered Cai Zhong to introduce Cai Zhong into the depths of Cao Village. Ning cut Cai Zhong under the horse with a knife and set fire on the grass. Lu Meng looked at the fire in the army from afar, and also set off dozens of fires to meet Gan Ning. Pan Zhang and Dong Xi set fire and shouted, and the drums were heard everywhere. Cao Cao and Zhang Liao led more than a hundred cavalry and walked in the fire forest, looking at everything in front. While he was walking, Mao Jie was saved

Wen Pin led dozens of cavalry to come. Cao ordered the army to find a way. Zhang Liao pointed, "There is only the Wulin ground, which is vast and can be walked." Cao rushed to Wulin. While he was walking, an army came from behind and shouted, "Don't leave Cao thieves!" The flag of Lu Meng appeared in the fire. Cao urged the army horses to move forward, leaving Zhang Liao to cut off the rear, and resisted the enemy Lu Meng. But he saw torches in front of him again, and a army emerged from the valley, shouting, "Ling Tong is here!" Cao Cao's heart and courage were broken.

Suddenly, a army arrived in the slanting place and shouted, "Prime Minister Don't panic! Xu Huang is here!" They fought each other in a melee, and they were walking north. Suddenly, a team of horses were stationed in front of the hillside. Xu Huang asked, "It was Yuan Shao's descending general Ma Yan and Zhang Yi, three thousand northern troops and horses, and the village was there. That night, he saw the sky full of fire and did not dare to turn, so he happened to follow Cao Cao. Cao taught two generals to lead a thousand troops and horses to open the road, leaving the rest to protect him. Cao got this

The strong army and horses were relieved. Ma Yan and Zhang Yan were flying forward. Less than ten miles away, a soldier came out from where the shouts started. The leader and general shouted loudly, "I am the Gan Xingba of the Eastern Wu!" Ma Yan was about to confront him, but was killed by Gan Ning with a sword. Zhang Yan came to greet him with a spear. Ning shouted loudly, caught off guard, and was knocked over by Ning's hand and fell off the horse. The rear army flew to report to Cao Cao. Cao was expecting Hefei to have troops to save him at this time.

Response; he didn't expect that Sun Quan saw the flames in the river at the intersection of Hefei Road. He knew that our army was victorious, so he taught Lu Xun to raise the fire as a call. When Taishi Ci saw it, he joined forces with Lu Xun to fight for the future. Cao had to look at Yiling and walked. On the way, he ran into Zhang He and ordered the rear to be cut off. He rode his horse and whipped it, and walked to the fifth update. Looking back at the flames getting farther away, he was worried and calmed down, and asked, "Where is this?" The left and right said, "This is the west of Wulin and the north of Yidu."

Seeing the trees were mixed with steep mountains and rivers, Cao immediately laughed up. The generals asked, "Why did the Prime Minister laugh?" Cao said, "I don't laugh at others, I just laughed at Zhou Yu for no reason, Zhuge Liang was wise. If I was using troops, I would like to hide a army here in advance, what would I do?" Before he could finish his words, the drums on both sides were shaking, and the firelight rose from the sky, which shocked Cao Cao almost fell off his horse. A army broke out from the slanting slanting, shouting, "I, Zhao Zilong, are in charge of military advisors, and have been waiting here for a long time!" Cao taught Xu Huang, and Zhang He and Zhang Yun both were both enemies, and he flew away from fire. Zilong did not come to chase him, but only cared about robbing the flag. Cao Cao was forced to escape.

It was dim and dark clouds covered the ground, and the southeast wind was still windy. Suddenly, heavy rain poured down, soaking clothes and armor. Cao and the soldiers walked in the rain, and all the soldiers were hungry. Cao ordered the soldiers to plunder food and search for fire in the village. He wanted to make rice, but the army arrived behind him. He was worried. It turned out that it was Li Dian and Xu Chu who came to protect the counselors. Cao was overjoyed and ordered the soldiers to go along and asked, "Where is the ground in front?" The people reported: "One is the South Yiling Road and the other is the North Yiling Mountain Road." Cao asked, "Where are you going to visit Jiangling in Nanjun?" The soldiers reported, "It is the most convenient to take Nanyiling through the gourd mouth." Cao Jiao walked to Nanyiling. When he arrived at the gourd mouth, the army was hungry, unable to walk, and the horses were also tired, and most of them fell on the road. Cao Jiao took a short break. Some people brought gongs and pots, and some people were plundered from the village to grab grain and rice. They picked dry places by the mountain and buried the pot to make rice, cut horse meat and cooked. They all took off their wet clothes and blew them in the wind. The horses were picked and put on their saddles and put them on the wild grass. Cao sat in the sparse forest. Next, he laughed up. The officials asked, "Just come, the Prime Minister laughed at Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang, and led Zhao Zilong to come, and broke many people and horses. Why do you laugh again now?" Cao said, "I laughed at Zhuge Liang. Zhou Yu was not smart enough after all. If I were to use military troops, I would be ambushing a military horse to wait for work. Even if we lose our lives, we will inevitably be seriously injured. If we can't see this, I laughed at it." As he was speaking, the front and back troops shouted together, Cao was shocked and abandoned his armor and got on the horse. .There were many soldiers who were not as good as the horses. As early as the fire and smoke were gathered around the mountain pass, a army was set up. The leader was Zhang Yide, a man from Yan, and he immediately ran his spear and shouted, "Where are you going to go!" When the generals of the army saw Zhang Fei, they were all terrified. Xu Chu came to fight Zhang Fei without a horse. Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, and they rode their horses to attack. The troops and horses on both sides fought in a group. Cao first drove away the horses, and the generals escaped. Zhang Fei rushed from behind. Cao ran away, and the pursuers gradually became farther away. Looking back, most of the generals were injured.

When he was about to go, the soldier reported, "There are two roads ahead. Which road is the Prime Minister going?" Cao asked, "Which road is near?"

The soldiers said, "The road is slightly flat, but it is more than fifty miles away. The road is thrown into Huarong Road, but it is nearly fifty miles away. It is just that the land is narrow and the road is dangerous, and it is difficult to walk through the pits." Cao asked the mountain to watch and report: "There are several smokes on the side of the mountain; there is no movement on the road." Cao taught the front army to walk on the Huarong Road path. The generals said, "There must be military horses where the beacon smoke rises, so why do you take this road instead?" Cao said, "Didn't you hear that the military book says: If it is empty, it is solid, and if it is solid, it is empty. Zhuge Liang is resourceful, so he made people burn smoke in the mountains, so that our army dare not Walking from this mountain road, he ambushed the troops on the main road. My project has been settled, but he will not be able to follow other plans!" All the generals said, "The Prime Minister's clever plan is out of reach." So he led his troops to walk on Huarong Road. At this time, everyone was hungry and the horses were all tired. Those who were furious were walking with a storm, and those who were caught with a gun were forced to leave. The clothes and armor were soaked, and all the military weapons and flags were not complete. Most of them were driven out on the Yiling Road, and they were riding bald horses, and their saddles, bridles and clothes were abandoned. It was the coldest winter, so how could the suffering be better than words?

Cao saw that the front army stopped the horse and did not advance, and asked why. He replied: "The mountain in front is small. Because it rained in the morning, water accumulated in the pit and trench did not flow, mud stuck in the horse's hooves, and he could not move forward." Cao was furious and shouted: "The army opened the road when it was a mountain, and when it came to a water and a bridge, how could it be muddy!" He sent an order to teach the old and weak to slander the soldiers to move slowly behind the back. The strong carried soil and firewood, carried grass and reeds, and filled the road. Be sure to act immediately, if the order violated the order. The soldiers had to dismount and cut off bamboo and wood on the side of the road to fill the mountain road. Cao was afraid that the rear army would come to rush, so he ordered Zhang Liao, Xu Chu and Xu Huang to lead hundreds of cavalry holding swords in their hands, but the slow ones would be killed. At this time, the army was hungry, and all the people fell to the ground. Cao shouted the order The people and horses were trampled on, and countless dead people were crying. The sound of crying was endless. Cao said angrily, "Life and death are destined, why cry? If you cry again, you will be killed immediately!" Three stops: one stops and the horses fell behind, the other stops to fill the gullies, and the other stops to follow Cao Cao. After the steepness, the road was slightly flat. Cao looked back and saw more than 300 cavalry followed, and there were no neat armors and armor. Cao urged to go quickly. The generals said, "There is no longer enough horses, so I have to rest." Cao said, "It's not too late to arrive in Jingzhou." After walking for less than a few miles, Cao raised his whip and laughed. The generals asked, "Why did the Prime Minister laugh again?" Cao said, "Everyone said that Zhou Yu, Zhuge Liang was resourceful, and I looked at it. He was an incompetent person.

If we let the troops here be trapped, we will be bound by our hands."

Before he finished speaking, a cannon fired, and five hundred school knives on both sides were swayed. The general Guan Yunchang, who held the blue dragon sword, crossed the red rabbit horse, and blocked the way. When Cao saw it, the dead souls were frightened and looked at each other. Cao said, "Since you have arrived here, you have to fight to the death!" The generals said, "Even if you are not afraid and have no horsepower, how can you fight again?" Cheng Yu said, "I know that Yunchang is proud of the superiors but cannot bear to the superiors, bullying the strong but not bullying the weak; the gratitude and grudges are clear, and the faith and righteousness are always there. The Prime Minister has been kind to him in the past. Now I only personally informed me, so I can get rid of this difficulty." Cao followed his words, and immediately rode his horse forward and bowed to Chang Yun and said, "General is fine!" Chang Yun also bowed and replied, "Guan is ordered by the military advisor and general, waiting for the Prime Minister for a long time." Cao Cao said, "Cao Cao's defeat is dangerous and there is no way to go here. I hope the general should take the feelings of the past." Chang Yun said, "Although Guan was grateful to the Prime Minister in the past, he had already killed Yan Liang, killed Wen Chou, and lifted the siege of Baima to repay him. How dare you do this today? "Cao said, "Can you still remember when you kill the generals in the Five Passes? A real man values ​​faith and righteousness. The general understands the "Spring and Autumn Annals", but don't you know that Gong Yu is chasing his son and Zhuru's son?" Yun Chang was a man with a heavy righteousness as a mountain. Thinking of Cao Cao's many kindnesses and the later killing of the generals in the Five Passes, how could he not be moved? Seeing that Cao's army was in a panic, they all wanted to shed tears, and they felt unbearable. So he tied the horse's head back and said to the army, "Scattered all over." This is clearly a release. Cao Cao's meaning. When Cao saw Yun Chang turn back, he rushed over with the generals. When Yun Chang turned around, Cao Cao had already passed by with the generals. Yun Chang shouted, and the troops all dismounted and cried to the ground. Yun Chang became more and more reluctant. While hesitating, Zhang Liao rode his horse and arrived. Yun Chang saw him, and then he sighed again, and let them go. Later generations wrote a poem saying: "Cao Man was defeated and walked on Huarong, and he met Guan Gong on a narrow road. He just wanted to be kind and be kind, so he let go of the golden lock and go to the dragon."

Cao Cao escaped from the difficulty of Huarong. When he arrived at the entrance of the valley, he looked back at the army and there were only twenty-seven horses. It was late at night and it was approaching Nanjun. The torch was bright and a cluster of people blocked the road. Cao was shocked and said, "My life is over!" He saw a group of whistle horses rushing over, and only knew that it was Cao Ren's army and horses. Cao was at ease. Cao Ren continued, saying, "Although he knew that the army was defeated, he dared not stay away, so he had to greet him nearby." Cao said, "I almost didn't meet you!" This led the people into Nanjun to rest. Then Zhang Liao arrived and talked about Yun Chang's virtue. Cao ordered the generals and the slandered him. Cao Ren ordered the generals to quit. Cao Ren put wine and relieved his depressedness. All the advisers were present. Cao suddenly looked up at the sky and cried. The advisers said, "When the Prime Minister fled in the tiger cave, he was not afraid of fear. Now that he arrived in the city, people had already obtained food and horses had already obtained materials, and they were about to rectify the army and horses to take revenge. Why cry bitterly?" Cao said, "I cried Guo Fengxiao! If Feng Feng is fine, please! I will never let me make such a big mistake!" So I beat my chest and cried, "How sad, I will be filial! How painful, I will be filial! How regretful! I will be filial!" All the advisers were silently ashamed. The next day, Cao called Cao Ren and said, "I am going back to Xudu for a while. I will pack up my army and horses and come to take revenge. You can protect Nanjun. I have a plan to keep it here secretly, not to stop opening, but to open it in a hurry. Follow the plan, so that the Eastern Wu dare not look at Nanjun in front of it." Ren said, "Hefei is the best." , Xiangyang, who can be conservative?" Cao said, "Jingzhou entrusted you to the jurisdiction of the commander; Xiangyang I have assigned Xiahou Dun to guard the commander; Hefei is the most important place, I have ordered Zhang Liao as the main general, Le Jin and Li Dian as the deputy general, to protect this place. But if there is a temporary emergency, I will report to the future." Cao's allocation was settled, so he got on his horse and led the crowd back to Xuchang. The former civil and military officials of Jingzhou were still brought back to Xuchang to call. Cao Ren sent Cao Hong to guard Yiling and Nanjun to prevent Zhou Yu.

But Guan Yunchang released Cao Cao and led his army back. At this time, all the troops and horses all got horses, equipment, money and grain, and had already returned to Xiakou. Duyunchang did not get one man and one horse, and returned to Xuande in an empty body. Kong Ming was congratulating Xuande, but suddenly he reported that Yunchang arrived. Kong Ming hurriedly left the seat and held a cup to greet him, "I'm happy that the general has made such a great contribution to eliminate great harm to the whole world. It's appropriate to come and go to celebrate!" Yunchang was silent. Kong Ming said, "Is it because we have never come to you, so you are not happy?" The left and right said, "Why don't you report it first?" Yun Chang said, "Guan came here to ask for death." Kong Ming said, "Can Cao Cao never came to Huarong Road?" Yun Chang said, "Where did you come from? Guan was incompetent, so he escaped." Kong Ming said, "What kind of soldiers did you take?" Yun Chang said, "I haven't taken them." Kong Ming said, "This is Yun Chang thought of Cao Cao's past grace and deliberately released them. But since there was a military order here, he had to follow the military law." So he ordered the warrior to expel and behead him.
