The battle of Changbanpo can be said to be a very bitter battle, and Liu Bei lost. At that time, Cao Cao led the so-called 830 thousand army to besiege Liu Bei. Liu Bei was short of troops and was soon beaten out of the water by Cao Cao, so he had to flee for his life. In the process of Liu Bei's departure, Zhao Yun, as a loyal bodyguard of Liu Bei, stayed to protect Liu Bei.
When Cao Cao saw that Liu Bei had escaped, he sent someone to find out. As a result, he learned that Liu Bei was hundreds of miles away. Cao Cao ordered his men to be divided into several ways, and constantly pursued Liu Bei, hoping to annihilate Liu Bei in one fell swoop and let Cao Cao do it once and for all. But Cao Cao obviously underestimated the loyalty of Liu Bei's leadership. Cao Cao was deeply moved by the fact that these leading figures swore allegiance to Liu Bei and were at odds with Cao Jun.
