Cao Ren ordered the army to garrison in the south and prepare to pick up the defeated troops of Li Dian and Wenpin.

However, Li Dian and Wenpin's defeated troops did not arrive. Instead, Guan Ping led the army to the city. Guan Ping led the army to the city, but saw the city gate open. Guan Ping suspected that Cao Ren had arranged a conspiracy and did not dare to lead his army into the city immediately. At this moment, a scout came to report: "General, Cao's army is escaping from the north gate!" Guan Ping laughed and mocked: "I thought Cao Ren was playing some tricks with me! After a long time, he actually fled in panic!" Then he shouted at the three thousand soldiers under his command: "Follow me to chase Cao Ren! Don't let him run away!" The troops agreed with their promises and their morale was as bright as a rainbow.

Guan Ping led three thousand men into the city.

Suddenly, huge shouts came from all directions. Cao's army, who should have escaped, was siege from all directions! The rain of arrows came, and the attack made Liu Bei's soldiers turn over. Then Cao Ren appeared. He personally led thousands of elite troops into Liu Bei's army to attack and kill wildly! Guan Ping led his troops to try to resist, but in an instant, the army was defeated by Cao's army! Guan Ping did not dare to fight, so he quickly led his troops out of the city gate and finally got rid of Cao's army! When Guan Ping stopped to count the number of people, he found that there were only less than a thousand people left in his three thousand men! He was very resentful, but he had no choice but to lead these remaining troops back to Wancheng to report!

Shortly after Guan Ping's defeat, Li Dian and Wenpin led more than 20,000 defeated generals to Bowang County and met Cao Ren. The three of them met and sighed. Cao Ren was depressed in view of the heavy losses of the army and the lack of food and grass in Bowang County. He had no choice but to give up Bowang County and retreat to the northeast. On the way, he met Cai Mao, who led Mao Jie's army to rescue, and everyone returned to Ye County Daying. The so-called Ye County Daying is located on the south bank of Chengshui, and is a straight line of 150 miles southwest of Xuchang. It is the gateway for Xuchang to face Jingzhou.

Ailang received a military newspaper forwarded by Xu Shu from Xiangyang from Jia Xu in Xuzhou. After learning about the whole war, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay! Fortunately, Zhuge Liang is well-known, otherwise he might have been occupied by Cao Ren this time!" Ailang put down the military newspaper and stretched his waist long. Thinking of the current situation, he laughed and said, "Now my bastard father-in-law must be furious and want to fight Liu Bei to death!"

At this moment, Chen Gong hurriedly came in from outside, presented a roll of bamboo slips to Ai Lang, and said, "General, Wenhe sent an emergency military message from Huainan!"
