张飞退玄德玄德:“。”玄德:“曹操。”:“退?”玄德:“?”Zhang Fei saw the disorderly rout of the enemy but he dared not pursue. However, he bade his score or so of dust-raising followers to cut loose the branches from their horses' tails and come to help destroy the bridge. This done he went to report to his brother and told him of the destruction of the bridge. "Brave as you are, brother, and no one is braver, but you are no strategist," said Liu Bei. "What mean you, brother?" "Cao Cao is very deep. You are no match for him. The destruction of the bridge will bring him in pursuit." "If he ran away at a yell of mine, think you he will dare return?" "If you had left the bridge, he would have thought there was an ambush and would not have dared to pass it. Now the destruction of the bridge tells him we are weak and fearful, and he will pursue. He does not mind a broken bridge. His legions could fill up the biggest rivers that we could get across." So orders were given to march, and they went by a bye-road which led diagonally to Hanjin by the road of Minyang.
