Cao Cao promoted Cai Mao to the title of "Admiral of the Navy", commanding Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of naval troops. He also "invited" Liu Cong, the lord of Jingzhou, and his mother, Mrs. Cai, to Qingzhou to serve as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao asked about Liu Bei's movements and learned that they were fleeing towards Jiangling with their people. He immediately became extremely anxious and led an army to chase and kill them, hoping to eradicate them. On Changbanpo, Zhao Yun found the missing Mrs. Mi in the wilderness. Mrs. Mi entrusted Adou to Zhao Yun, but she turned over and fell into a well and died.
Zhao Yun and Adou broke through Cao's army by killing them, and Cao Cao greatly appreciated his bravery. Zhang Fei arrived with his troops and rescued Zhao Yun, who was exhausted. Zhang Fei shouted loudly in front of the bridge, so shocked that Cao Jun's soldiers did not dare to approach. Cao Cao saw the dust behind the bridge and feared an ambush, so he ordered his troops to retreat.
Zhang Fei was overjoyed and ordered the sergeant to break off the bridge and leave. However, Zhang Fei's action eliminated Cao Cao's doubts, and Cao Cao's army suddenly woke up and sent troops to pursue him. Liu Bei rushed to Jiangjin Crossing, with the river in front of him and countless pursuers behind him.
Liu Bei couldn't help sighing that "his destiny has been exhausted." At the critical moment, several large ships sailed on the river, and it was Jiangling Liu Qi. Cao Cao watched Liu Bei and others leave by boat from the shore, and was filled with resentment.
