Liu Bei’s troops follow up the victory with the slaughter of Cao Cao’s men. After Cao Cao has withdrawn his men, he estimates that Liu Bei does not have two hundred thousand men. Consequently, he orders Zhang Liao to secretly attack Runan. He also orders Gao Lan to seize the baggage train, which are on the way to Liu Bei’s army. When Liu Bei gets news of these matters he firstly orders Guan Yu go to Runan for aid. Secondly he orders Zhang Fei to rescue the baggage train. Cao Cao seizes the opportunity to strike an attack at the mountain. Liu Bei has to flee.
劉備一方乘勝衝殺曹方，收兵後曹操斷定劉方無20萬兵，於是命張遼暗襲汝南，命高覽劫途中糧草。劉備得信後先後命關羽、張飛去接應。曹趁機攻山，劉逃走。
