After Han Fei withdrew his troops, the war in Hanzhong ended. He made up his mind to vigorously develop agriculture and attack Hanzhong again in the coming year.

Guan Yu was seriously injured in Yecheng. Cao Cao did not miss this opportunity that night and sent 30,000 troops to attack Liu Bei's army camp. Gao Lan and Pang De and Zhou Cang led their troops to resist and repel Cao's two attacks. At this time, Cao Cao sent his elite troops, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry immediately broke through the camp of Liu Bei's army. In the crisis, Gao Lan led his army to risk his life to block the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Behind him, Pang De and Zhou Cang also fought to the death and finally drove all Cao's army out of the camp. At this time, the east was already white and they had fought for the middle of the night.

Cao's army retreated like a tide, leaving behind devastation. The front of Liu Bei's army camp was destroyed, none of the tents were complete, and the gates and arrow towers of the camp were burned by fire.

Of course, this is not the most serious loss. After Cao's army retreated, Pang De and Zhou Cang disappeared. As a result, they found that in order to block the tiger and leopard cavalry, Gao Lan had already died in the battlefield.

When he was dying, he and his personal guards killed a whole team of tiger and leopard cavalry, and his body was injured by fifty-six ways. This was the heavy blow that Liu Bei's army suffered again after Guan Yu was seriously injured. Pang De and Zhou Cang were sad, so they came to visit Guan Yu together.

When he arrived at Guan Yu's tent, Guan Ping, who had not closed his eyes all night, said happily to the two: "The military doctor said that his father's fortune was saved last night, thanks to the three generals who guarded the camp last night. Hey, why didn't General Gao Lan see him?"

Zhou Cang sighed and said, "Major General, General Gao Lan has gone."

"Ah! What?" Guan Ping felt like the five thunders were thundering when he heard this. Unexpectedly, his father's life had just been saved, General Gao Lan died. Is this true that one life was exchanged for another?

At this time, Pang De said on the side: "The Major General is not a time for sadness. The camp is no longer in defense. We must retreat quickly."

Guan Ping tried to calm down after hearing Pang De's words. He looked up and asked, "Where should we retreat according to the general's opinion?"

"If Major General, why don't we retreat to Guangping County, where there are still five thousand defenders, and with our existing staff, we will definitely be able to hold on until the second general wakes up." Pang De said.

Guan Ping turned his head and glanced at his father who was still in a coma, and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go to Guangping County. Let's arrange it, two generals, I will handle my father properly, let's hurry up and fight for an hour before evacuating."

Zhou Cang and Pang De took the order and left, and Guan Ping became busy. Guan Yu was still unconscious and could not ride a horse, so he could only take a cart. In addition, Gao Lan's body also had to be transported back to Guangping City by cart before being loaded. Therefore, their withdrawal must not be carried quickly. In order to seize time, some of the baggage had to be abandoned.

In order to facilitate the care of Guan Yu, Guan Ping also got on the carriage, and the army evacuated on time and headed straight for Guangping City. After a night of fierce fighting, Cao's army was exhausted. Xu Huang and Xu Chu were somewhat injured when they fought Guan Yu. They participated in the night attack last night without time to recuperate. In the chaos, Xu Chu lost one, while Xu Huang fought with Pang De for a few strokes, which led to the poor qi and blood, and the internal injury became more serious.

So after learning that Liu Bei's army was evacuated, Cao Cao was interested in sending troops to chase him, but he was suffering from no general available. At this time, his third son Cao Zhang stood up and said, "Father, Guan Yu was seriously injured and died frequently. The others fought fiercely for a night, and their combat power was less than half of their usual ones. If you ask me to pursue him, you will definitely be able to kill Guan Yu and return."

Cao Cao couldn't help laughing at him and said, "My son is brave and very pleased! Okay, then you will lead 10,000 troops to pursue the Qi army. I will let Cao Xiu lead the tiger and leopard cavalry to accompany you." Cao Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said goodbye. Cao Cao ordered 10,000 troops, gathered Cao Xiu and a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry out of Yecheng to chase Liu Bei's army.

Liu Bei's army camp is 150 miles away from Guangping County. Normally, it will take one day and a half to arrive. However, due to Guan Yu's serious injury, the brigade of troops was much slower.

Seeing that it was almost dusk, he had only walked for more than 70 miles. If he continued like this, he would have to wait until tomorrow night before he could arrive at Guangping County. Seeing that it was getting dark, Pang De ordered the entire army to camp on the spot. Then he sent a large number of scouts to investigate, in order to prevent Cao's army from attacking. It has to be said that Pang De was on the shelves at this time and had no choice but to consider the problem like a commander.

As he expected, Cao's army finally chased after him at night. Cao Zhang saw the simple camp of Qi from afar, and he laughed and said, "Haha, Liu Bei's army lost Guan Yu and was indeed vulnerable. How could such a camp block my army?"

"Stop it, the third young master. Our army has not concealed its whereabouts along the way. The Qi army must have known the movements of our army. At this moment, it is still maintaining such a relaxed defense, so it will definitely tempt us to attack. At that time, take the opportunity to ambush us. Therefore, please do not act rashly," Cao Xiu said from the side.

"Hey, Wen Lie's words are wrong. Although there are powerful generals in the Qi army, there are no military advisors. In the past, they used to rely on Guan Yu to show their power. Now that Guan Yu is seriously injured, there will definitely be no leader in his army. I can guarantee that as long as our army enters the enemy camp, the Qi army will definitely disrupt it. Then you and I will take Guan Yu's head among the chaos." Cao Zhang retorted immediately.

Cao Xiu wanted to say something else, Cao Zhang waved his hand and said, "This trip is mainly me, Wen Lie, you don't have to say much. Now I will pass on the orders of my army to inspect the equipment, and wait for my orders to attack the Qi army camp."

After just a cup of tea, Cao Zhang gave an order. Cao's army rushed straight to the Qi army camp. After encountering sporadic resistance, Cao Zhang took the lead and rushed into the Qi army camp. At this time, the Cao army soldiers behind him waved their weapons and rushed to the surrounding tents, but found that there was no one in the tent.

When Cao Zhang heard that there was no one in the tent, he thought to himself: No! He was about to order to withdraw his troops, but he heard a laugh behind him: "Haha! You have already fallen into my plan, and when will you still surrender?" It was not someone else who spoke, but Pang De. It turned out that he knew that Cao's army was chasing him behind him and reported to Guan Ping. Then he decided on this plan and waited for Cao's army to attack.

Cao Zhang plunged into the encirclement, and was now surrounded by Liu Bei's army. When Cao Xiu saw that it was not good, he immediately shouted: "How can my Cao army man surrender without fighting! The tiger and leopard cavalry will follow me to kill!" After roaring, he rushed to Pang De to kill him.

When Cao Zhang saw it, he glared at him and killed him. When Pang De saw that Cao's army dared to resist, he immediately sneered and ordered the arrow to be fired. Under the rain of arrows, Cao's army suffered heavy losses. However, the tiger and leopard cavalry did not suffer much. As they rushed past the rain of arrows, they plunged into Liu Bei's army.
