The classical Chinese translation of Zhang Fei's retreat from Cao's army at Changbanqiao is as follows:
In the battle of Changbanpo, Zhang Fei did scare off many Cao's troops with only one person. To say what method Zhang Fei used, it is actually not worth mentioning. As for Zhang Fei, a reckless man, he did not know how to play any conspiracy. On Changban Slope, he stood alone opposite Cao Jun, staring at Cao Jun and yelling: "Zhang Fei from Yan is here. Anyone who is not afraid of death can come forward."
In this way, Zhang Fei scared off many Cao troops in such a simple way.
Cao Cao's army caught up with Liu Bei's army at Changbanpo. During the melee, Liu Bei abandoned his wife and ordered Zhang Fei to lead a suicide squad of twenty riders to cut off the rear. Zhang Fei took advantage of the river channel and demolished the bridges to prevent Cao's army from pursuing. Seeing Cao Cao coming in person, Zhang Fei showed no fear and shouted: "I am Zhang Yide from Yan! Who dares to fight to the death with me?"
This shout made Cao Cao want to retreat. Seeing this, Zhang Fei shouted again: "Fight and not fight, retreat and not retreat, but why!" Xia Houjie next to Cao Cao was frightened to death. Cao Jun did not dare to approach Zhang Fei. So Liu Bei was able to escape.
Zhang Fei's voice frightened Xiahou Dun in Cao's army so much that he lost his footing and fell off his horse. It was after the Battle of Changbanpo that Zhang Fei became famous and became a powerful general in all directions.
In fact, what Cao Jun was really afraid of was not just Zhang Fei, but Zhuge Liang, the strategist behind him. He was afraid that this was another Zhuge Liang scheme that would lead Cao Jun to go deep into an ambush.
