Song-Ming -> Romance of the Three Kingdoms -> Yuan Shao Fights Gongsun Zan At The River Pan; Sun Jian Attacks Liu Biao Across The Great River -> 14

正說之間，忽見趙雲衝到面前。弓箭手急待射時，雲連刺數人，眾軍皆走。後面瓚軍團團圍裹上來。田豐慌對紹曰：「主公且於空牆中躲避！」紹以兜鍪撲地，大呼曰：「大丈夫願臨陣鬥死，豈可入牆而望活乎！」眾軍士齊心死戰，趙雲衝突不入，紹兵大隊掩至，顏良亦引軍來到，兩路并殺。趙雲保公孫瓚殺透重圍，回到界橋。紹驅兵大進，復趕過橋，落水死者，不計其數。袁紹當先趕來，不到五里，只聽得山背後喊聲大起，閃出一彪人馬，為首三員大將，乃是劉玄德，關雲長，張翼德。因在平原探知公孫瓚與袁紹相爭，特來助戰。當下三匹馬，三般兵器，飛奔前來，直取袁紹。紹驚得魂飛天外，手中寶刀墜於馬下，忙撥馬而逃，眾人死救過橋。公孫瓚亦收軍歸寨。玄德、關、張動問畢，瓚曰：「若非玄德遠來救我，幾乎狼狽。」教與趙雲相見。玄德甚相敬愛，便有不捨之心。But even as Yuan Shao spoke, he saw in front the redoubtable Zhao Zilong. His guards hastened to prepare their bows, but before they could shoot, Zhao Zilong was in their midst, and men were falling before him wherever he went. The others fled. Gongsun Zan's army then gathered round and hemmed in Yuan Shao. Tian Feng then said to his master, "Sir, take refuge in this empty building here!" But Yuan Shao dashed his helmet to the ground, crying, "The brave person rather faces death in the battle than seeks safety behind a wall!" This bold speech gave new courage to his soldiers who now fought fiercely and with such success that Zhao Zilong could nowhere force his way in. Yuan Shao was soon reinforced by the arrival of his main body and Yan Liang, and the two armies pressed forward. Zhao Zilong could only just get Gongsun Zan safe out of the press. Then they fought their way back to the bridge. But Yuan Shao's troops still came on and fought their way across the bridge, forcing multitudes of their adversaries into the water, where many were drowned. Yuan Shao was leading in person and his troops still advanced. But not more than two miles, for soon a great shouting was heard behind some hills, whence suddenly burst out a body of troops led by Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei. At Pingyuan they had heard of the struggle between their protector and his enemy, Yuan Shao, and had at once set out to help. Now the three riders, each with his peculiar weapon, flew straight at Yuan Shao, who was so frightened that his soul seemed to leave his body and fly beyond the confines of heaven. His sword fell from his hand and he fled for his life. He was chased across the bridge when Gongsun Zan called in his army, and they returned to camp. After the usual greetings Gongsun Zan said, "If you had not come to our help, we should have been in very bad case." Liu Bei and Zhao Zilong were made acquainted with each other, and a warm affection sprang up from the very first so that they were always together.
