Liu Bei thanked him and went his way。 The party took the road by Liangcheng； and as they were going out； they saw not far off a thick cloud of dust。 When the troop came nearer； they found the troops were of Cao Cao's army； and with them they traveled to the main camp where they found Cao Cao himself。 Cao Cao shed tears at the sad story of Liu Bei's distress； the loss of the city； his brothers and wives and children。 When Liu Bei told him of the hunter who had sacrificed his wife to feed them； Cao Cao sent the hunter a present of a hundred ounces of silver as a reward。
The march then was continued to Jibei； where Xiahou Yuan weled them。 They heard that his brother Xiahou Dun was still ill from the wound he had received in the eye。 Cao Cao went to the sick man's bedside to see him and had him removed to Xuchang for skilled treatment。
Presently scouts； sent out particularly for tidings of Lu Bu； returned； saying； 〃Lu Bu has allied himself with the bandits in the east； and they are attacking Yanzhou。〃
At this Cao Cao dispatched Cao Ren with three thousand soldiers to take Xiaopei； while he； in conjunction with Liu Bei； moved against Lu Bu。
They went east。 As they reached the Mangdang Hills near Xiao Pass； they met the a band of thirty thousand Taishan Mountains brigands barring their road。 The chieftains of the bandits were Sun Guan； Wu Dun； Yin Li； and Chang Xi who rode out with their spears set。 However； Xu Chu plunged into the battle and easily beat them back and chased them right up to the pass。
The scouts told Lu Bu； who was then in Xuzhou； whither he had gone to start an expedition to save Xiaopei。 He left the protection of Xuzhou to Chen Gui and set out with Chen Deng。
