Yang Feng was completely surprised and tried to draw off









the cost. So he readily
lived up to his bargain
with his parents and
transferred to De Anza.

Having defeated by Li Jue, Yang Feng fled to the foothills

Having defeated by Li Jue, Yang Feng fled to the foothills of the Xian；

and he came up to offer his services as soon as he heard the Emperor’s journey. Seeing it was necessary to fight now, he drew up his line of battle.

Guo Si’s general, Cui Yong, rode out and began a volley of abuse.

　　Yang Feng turned and said, “Where is Xu Huang？”

　　In response out came a valiant warrior gripping a heavy battle-ax. He galloped up on his fleet bay, making directly for Cui Yong, whom he felled at the first blow. At this the whole force dashed forward and routed Guo Si. The defeated army went back some seven miles.

　　Yang Feng rode forward to see the Emperor who graciously said, “It is a GREat service you have rendered： You have saved my life.”

　　Yang Feng bowed and thanked him, and the Emperor asked to see the actual slayer of the rebel leader. So Xu Huang was led to the chariot where he bowed and was presented as Xu Huang of Hedong.

　　the Emperor recognized the achievement of the warrior.

　　then the cavalcade went forward, Yang Feng acting as escort as far as the city of Huaying, the halting place for the night. The Commander of the place, Duan Wei, supplied them with clothing and food. And the Emperor passed the night in Yang Feng’s camp.

Next day Guo Si, having mustered his troops, appeared in front of the camp, and Xu Huang rode out to engage. But Guo Si threw his army out so that they entirely surrounded the camp, and the Emperor was in the middle.

The position was very critical,

when help appeared in the person of a galloping general from the southeast,

and the rebels fell away at his assault.

Then Xu Huang smote them and so scored a victory.

Li Jue sent one of his officers, General Wang Chan












Zhang Ji vowed he would attack the one who was recalcitrant.

Li Jue tried to gain favor by hastening to send to

tell Zhang Ji he was ready to make peace.

So did Guo Si.

When that was over both sides turned to plunder the people.

“He fears an ambush in the wood,” said Cao Cao

“He fears an ambush in the wood,” said Cao Cao. “We will set up flags there and deceive him. There is a long embankment near the camp but behind it there is no water. There we will lay an ambush to fall upon Lu Bu when he comes to burn the wood.”

So Cao Cao hid all his soldiers behind the embankment except half a hundred drummers, and he got together many peasants to loiter within the stockade as though it was not empty.

Lu Bu rode back and told Chen Gong what he had seen.

　　“This Cao Cao is very crafty and full of wiles,” said the adviser. “Do not act.”

　　“I will use fire this time and burn out his ambush,” said Lu Bu.

　　Next morning Lu Bu rode out, and there he saw flags flying everywhere in the wood. He ordered his troops forward to set fire on all sides. But to his surprise no one rushed out to make for the stockade. Still he heard the beating of drums and doubt filled his mind. Suddenly he saw a party of soldiers move out from the shelter of the stockade. He galloped over to see what it meant.

　　then the signal-bombs exploded； out rushed the troops and all their leaders dashed forward. Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Li Dian, and Yue Jing all attacked at once. Lu Bu was at a loss and fled into the open country. One of his generals, Cheng Lian, was killed by an arrow of Yue Jing. Two thirds of his troops were lost, and the beaten remainder went to tell Chen Gong what had come to pass.

　　“We had better leave,” said Chen Gong. “An empty city cannot be held.”

So Chen Gong and Gao Shun, taking their chief’s family with them,

abandoned Dingtao.

When Cao Cao’s soldiers got into the city,

they met with no resistance.

Zhang Chao committed suicide by burning himself. Zhang Miao fled to Yuan Shu.

Thus the whole northeast fell under the power of Cao Cao. He immediately tranquilized the people and rebuilt the cities and their defenses.

Lu Bu in his retreat fell in with his generals, and Chen Gong also rejoined him, so that he was by no means broken.

“I have but small army,” said Lu Bu, “but still enough to break Cao Cao.”

And so he retook the backward road. Indeed：

Thus does fortune alternate, victory, defeat, the happy conqueror today, tomorrow, must retreat？

What was the fate of Lu Bu will appear later.

So he threw caution to the winds and went out of the city.

“Whom do I fear？” said Lu Bu.

So he threw caution to the winds and went out of the city. He met his foes and he began to revile them. The redoubtable Xu Chu went to fight with him, but after twenty bouts neither combatant was any the worse.

“He is not the sort that one man can overcome,” said Cao Cao.

And he sent Dian Wei to attack Lu Bu from another direction. Lu Bu stood the double onslaught. Soon after the flank commanders joined in——Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan attacking the left； Li Dian and Yue Jing surrounding the right. Lu Bu had six opponents. These proved really too many for him so he turned his horse and rode back to the city.

　　But when the members of the Tian family saw him coming back beaten, they raised the drawbridge.

　　Lu Bu shouted, “Open the gates！ Let me in！”

　　But the Tians said, “We have gone over to Cao Cao！”

　　This was hard to hear and the beaten man abused them roundly before he left. Chen Gong got away through the east gate taking with him the general’s family.

　　Thus Puyang came into Cao Cao’s hands, and for their present services the Tian family were pardoned their previous fault.

　　However, Liu Ye said, “Lu Bu is a savage beast. If let alive, he will be a GREat danger. Hunt him down！”

　　Liu Ye was ordered to keep Puyang. Wherefore Cao Cao determined to follow Lu Bu to Dingtao whither he had gone for refuge.

Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Zhang Chao were assembled in the city. Gao Shun and other generals were out foraging. Cao Cao army arrived but did not attack for many days, and presently he withdrew fifteen miles and made a stockade. It was the time of harvest, and he set his soldiers to cut the wheat for food.

The spies reported this to Lu Bu who came over to see.

But when he saw that Cao Cao’s stockade lay near a thick wood,

he feared an ambush and retired.

Cao Cao heard that Lu Bu had come and gone and guessed the reason.
