This episode recounts how Liu Bei, fearing Cao Cao would hold him accountable, asked Zheng Xuan to write a letter requesting Yuan Shao to send troops to his aid.

Cao Cao seized the opportunity to divide his forces and attack Xuzhou. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their troops into battle and defeated Cao Cao's forces.
