〃No one but myself can succeed;〃 cried Sima Shi; starting from his couch。 〃I must go。〃

So; in spite of illness; he resolved to lead in person。 He left his brother in charge of affairs at Luoyang and set out; traveling in a padded carriage。

Zhuge Dan; General Who Guards the East; was given mand over all the forces of Yuzhou and ordered to march from Anfeng and to take possession of Shouchun。 Hu Zun; General Who Conquers the East; with the Qingzhou forces; was sent to bar any retreat at Qiaosong。 Wang Ji; Imperial Protector of Yuzhou and Army Inspector; was sent to capture Chennan。

To his camp at Xiangyang; Sima Shi summoned all his officers to a council。

'e' Zhou Yafu was son of Zhou Bo; the prime minister of Emperor Wen (BC 179…156)。 After the death of Emperor Wen; Duke Wu started a rebellion of Seven Kingdoms。 Zhou Yafu as a general put down this rebellion。 。。。。。

Minister Zheng Mao spoke first; saying; 〃Guanqiu Jian is fond of laying plans; but slow to e to any decision。 His fellow…conspirator Wen Qin is bold; but imprudent。 Now this scheme of theirs is too large for their minds。 But as their soldiers are full of spirit; they should not be engaged lightly。 We should remain on the defensive till their ardor has burned out。 This is what Zhou Yafu* of old time did。〃

But Army Inspector Wang Ji objected; saying; 〃This is not a rising of the people; nor of the soldiers; but is the work of Guanqiu Jian。 The people are merely his tools and cannot help themselves。 The rebellion will go to pieces as soon as an army approaches the region。〃

〃I agree with you;〃 replied Sima Shi。

Then he advanced upon River Ying and camped by the bridge。

Wang Ji said; 〃The city of Nandun is an excellent camping ground。 Occupy it at once; for if not the enemy will do so。〃

Sima Shi sent Wang Ji to carry out his own plan。

Reports of these movements of the enemy came to Guanqiu Jian in Xiangcheng; and an assembly of officers was called。

The Leader of the Van; Ge Yong; said; 〃Nandun is an excellent site for a camp; with a river beside it and hills at the rear。 If the Wei armies camp there; we shall be unable to dislodge them。 Let us occupy it。〃

So the army set out。 But before they drew near; the scouts reported a camp already there。 It was incredible; and Guanqiu Jian rode to the front to reconnoiter。 He was convinced by the sight of flags and banners over all the plain; fluttering above an orderly array of tents and huts。 The sight disconcerted him; and he rode back to the main body not knowing what to do。

Just then a scout came in to say: 〃Sun Jun of Wu has crossed the river to attack Shouchun。〃

〃If we lose that city; we shall have no base;〃 cried Guanqiu Jian。

That same night he retreated upon Xiangcheng。

Seeing the enemy retreat; Sima Shi called together his officers to talk it over。

Chair of the Secretariat Fu Gu; who was of the expedition; said; 〃The retirement to Xiangcheng was obviously due to Wus threatened attack upon Shouchun。 General; you should send three armies to attack upon Xiangcheng; Lojia; and Shouchun。 The Imperial Protector of Yanzhou; Deng Ai; is a man of tactics; he should be sent against Lojia。 Our main army will reinforce them。〃

His plan was acceptable to Sima Shi; who sent letters to Yanzhou telling Deng Ai to march against Lojia; where Sima Shi himself would soon meet him。

Camped at Xiangcheng; Guanqiu Jian sent spies to Lojia to see what might be happening there; for he feared it would be attacked。

When he spoke of his fears to Wen Qin; the latter said; 〃General; you need not be anxious。 My son Wen Yang and I will answer for its safety。 Give us but five thousand troops。〃

Father and son; with the five thousand troops; went to Lojia。

Before the main body arrived; the scouts reported: 〃Wei banners are flying on the west of the city。 There are about ten thousand troops。 In their midst are seen authority ensigns such as white yaks tails; golden axes; purple umbrellas; and a flag bearing the word mander 。 Perhaps Sima Shi himself is at this camp。 The troops are pitching the camp rapidly; but it is not yet plete。〃

When this was reported to Wen Qin; his son Wen Yang; bearing his famous whip of steel; was by his fathers side。

〃We should attack before they have settled down in camp; Father;〃 said he。 〃Let us go quickly and attack on two sides。〃

〃When can we start?〃 said the father。

〃Tonight at dusk。 You lead half the force round by the south; and I will march the other half round by the north; and we will meet in the third watch at the Wei camp。〃

The youth who propounded this plan was then eighteen; tall and strong。 He wore plete armor and carried at his waist a steel whip。 When the hour came to start; he took his spear; swung himself into the saddle and set out。

That night Sima Shi; who had arrived and had at once set about settling into camp; lay on a couch in his tent; for he was still suffering pain from the surgery wound beneath his eye。 The tent was surrounded by several hundred armored guards。 Deng Ai had not arrived。

About the third watch Sima Shi heard a great shouting and asked what it was。

One replied: 〃An army has e round from the north and burst into the lines。 The leader is too bold for anyone to face。〃
