His forces in complete disarray and enemies closing on all sides, Yuan Shao ordered a full retreat of his core forces. They struggled north from Xiang Yang, pursued by roving bands of Zhang Xiu and Huang Zhong's forces. Yuan Shao saw the front line come to a halt and asked why. The report came back: "The hills ahead are rarely crossed; the paths are too narrow, and the horses have bogged down in the ditches after the morning's rains." In an exasperated tone Yuan Shao said, "Are you telling me that an army that forges through mountains and bridges rivers can't get through a little mud?" Then he sent down the command: "Half the able-bodied are to carry earth, wood, grass, and reeds to fill in the road. Let the old, the weak, and the wounded follow as best they can. The remaining healthy soldiers are to guard the rear against the enemy. The march must resume. I am counting on every man to aid its speed as best he can, but we leave none behind." At these words, the soldiers felt renewed vigour and trudged ahead.
Starved and exhausted, the troops progress was tortuously slow. By the seventh watch, the remnants of the army crested a hill and saw the fortified town of Deng in the distance. "We've made it," shouted the commanders but just then a bombard sounded and five hundred expert swordsmen flanked the road. At their head, raising a serpentine blade, the general Yang Qiu checked Yuan Shao's advance. Shao's men felt their souls desert them, their courage die. They looked at one another helplessly.
"It is the last battle, then," said Yuan Shao, "and we must fight it or perish. No doubt he is under orders not to settle this with single combat, but let's see him refuse the temptation of eliminated the Prime Minister himself!" Ordering his guards to remain, Shao dismounted and stepped forward of the army, drawing his longsword. Yang Qiu advanced and the two swords clashed again and again through fifty rolls of the drums. As dawn began to rise, Shao began incrementally maneuvering about Yang Qiu to face his own army. As the sun broke from the horizon, the Qiu was momentarily blinded and Shao thrust his sword through the Zhang Xiu general's chest. Zhang Xiu's swordsmen parted to allow the northern army to pass.
Yuan Shao has retreated from the region. (Tulas Shorn and Mentalist)
