Zhao Yun； Huang Zhong； and Zhang Zhu followed close on the heels of the routed army。 While Cao Cao was making off with all speed； two other generals of Shu； Liu Feng and Meng Da； came from Micang Mountain and set fire to all the army stores of food and forage in Northern Mountain。 Then Cao Cao abandoned the stores in Northern Mountain and set out hastily for Nanzheng。 Zhang He and Xu Huang could make no stand； and they also abandoned their camps； which Zhao Yun at once occupied。 Beside the stores of food； the victors collected countless weapons along the banks of the river。

Whose whole body is valor；

Whose whole body is valor。
