little　need　to　fight；　for　Cao　Cao's　soldiers　no　sooner　saw　the　name　emblazoned　on　the　banners　than　they　fled　without　more　ado。

But　it　filled　Cao　Cao　with　rage　to　see　his　troops　falling　away　before　Zhao　Yun；　who　marched　on　as　though　no　one　would　think　of　standing　in　his　way；　and　Cao　Cao　went　in　pursuit　himself　with　his　officers。

Zhao　Yun　reached　his　own　camp；　where　he　was　weled　by　Zhang　Yi。　But　a　cloud　of　dust　was　seen　in　the　distance；　and　they　knew　Cao　Cao　was　in　that　cloud　and　ing　upon　them。

〃Let　us　bar　the　gates　while　we　make　preparation；〃　said　Zhang　Yi。

〃Do　not　bar　the　gates；〃　said　Zhao　Yun。　〃Have　you　never　heard　of　my　exploit　at　Dangyang；　when　I　laughed　at　Cao　Cao's　many　legions？　Now　that　I　have　an　army　at　my　back　and　generals　to　help；　what　is　there　to　fear？〃

Then　Zhao　Yun　gave　a　signal　to　his　troops　to　e　out　of　the　moat；　and　the　archers　and　bowmen　began　to　shoot。　The　soldiers　of　Cao　Cao　knew　not　in　the　dusk　how　many　their　enemies　were；　but　terror　seized　upon　them　and　they　ran；　each
