〃Zhang　Zhao　is　wise　and　understanding　and　equal　to　such　a　task。　I　am　devoid　of　talent　and　fear　to　take　such　responsibility；　but　I　venture　to　remend　to　you　as　a　helper　one　Lu　Su；　a　man　of　Linhuai。　This　mans　bosom　hides　strategy；　and　his　breast　conceals　tactics。　He　lost　his　father　in　early　life　and　has　been　a　perfectly　filial　son　to　his　mother。　His　family　is　rich　and　renowned　for　charity　to　the　needy。　When　I　was　stationed　at　Juchao；　I　led　some　hundreds　of　soldiers　across　Linhuai。　We　were　short　of　grain。　Hearing　that　the　Lu　family　had　two　granaries　there；　each　holding　three　thousand　carts；　I　went　to　ask　for　help。　Lu　Su　pointed　to　one　granary　and　said；　Take　that　as　a　gift。　Such　was　his　generosity！

〃He　has　always　been　fond　of　fencing　and　horse　archery。　He　was　living　in　Que。　His　grandmother　died　while　he　was　there；　and　he　went　to　bury　her　in　Dongcheng；　and　then　his　friend；　Liu　Ziyang；　wished　to　engage　him　to　go　to　Chaohu　and　join　Zheng　Bao。　However；　he　hesitated　about　that　and　has　not　gone　yet。　You　should　invite　him　without　loss　of　time。〃

Sun　Quan　at　once　sent　Zhou　Yu　to　engage　the　services　of　this　man；　and　Zhou　Yu　set　out。　When　the　obeisance　was　over；　Zhou　Yu　laid　before　Lu　Su　the　inducements　that　his　own　master　held　out。

Lu　Su　replied；　〃I　have　been　engaged　by　Liu　Ziyang　to　go　to　Chaohu；　and　I　am　just　starting　thither。〃

＇e＇　Ma　Yuan　（BC　14…AD　49）　a　general　who　first　served　Wang　Mang；　then　join　Liu　Xiu　in　restoring　Han　Dynasty。　In　his　life　of　career；　Ma　Yuan　contributed　much　to　Liu　Xius　success　by　putting　down　rebellions　throughout　the　empire　and　abroad。　。。。。。

＇e＇　Liu　Xiu　（or　Guang　Wu）　（BC　5…AD　57）　（reigned　AD　25…57）　restored　Han　after　Wang　Mangs　usurpation。　The　dynasty　Liu　Xiu　restored　is　also　known　as　Eastern　Han　（capital　in　Luoyang）　or　Latter　Han。　。。。。。

Said　Zhou　Yu；　〃Of　old　Ma　Yuan*　said　to　Liu　Xiu*；　This　is　an　age　when　not　only　do　princes　select　their　ministers；　but　ministers　must　also　choose　their　princes。　Now　our　General　Sun　Quan　calls　to　him　the　wise　and　treats　his　officers　well。　Thus　he　engages　the　help　of　the　wonderful　and　gets　the　services　of　the　extraordinary　in　a　way　that　few　others　do。　But　if　you　are　not　engaged　elsewhere；　e　with　me　to　the　South　Land　as　the　best　thing　to　do。〃

Lu　Su　returned　with　Zhou　Yu　and　saw　Sun　Quan；　who　treated　him　with　the　greatest　deference　and　with　him　discussed　affairs　very　fully。　The　conference　proved　so　interesting　that　it　went　on　all　day　and　neither　felt　fatigue。

One　day　at　the　close　of　the　usual　reception；　Sun　Quan　kept　Lu　Su　to　dine　with　him。　They　sat　up　late　and　by　and　by　slept　on　the　same　couch　as　would　the　closest　of　friends。

＇e＇　Duke　Wen　of　Jin；　（reigned　636…628　BC）　ruler　of　the　western　state　of　Jin　during　the　Spring　and　Autumn　period。　By　serving　the　Zhou　Dynasty；　he　and　his　successors　made　Jin　a　dominant　state　for　nearly　200　years。　。。。。。

＇e＇　Duke　Huan　of　Qi　（reigned　BC　685…643）；　in　the　name　of　serving　the　Zhou　emperor；　became　the　leader　of　a　league　of　small　states　in　northeast　China　during　the　Spring　and　Autumn　period。　His　prime　minister　was　the　famed　Guan　Zhong。　。。。。。

In　the　dead　of　night　Sun　Quan　said　to　his　bedfellow；　〃The　dynasty　is　failing；　and　everything　is　at　sixes　and　sevens。　I　have　received　a　great　charge　from　my　father　and　brother；　and　I　am　thinking　of　imitating　the　actions　of　the　celebrated　Protectors　of　Reign；　Wen*　and　Huan*；　and　being　the　leader　of　the　feudal　lords；　and　I　pray　you　instruct　me。〃

Lu　Su　replied；　〃Of　old　the　Founder　of　Han；　the　Supreme　Ancestor；　wished　to　honor　and　serve　Emperor　Yi　of　Qin；　but　could　not　on　account　of　Xiang　Yus　evildoings。　Now　Cao　Cao　can　be　pared　with　Xiang　Yu：　How　can　you　be　the　protector　of　the　Emperor？　My　humble　opinion　is　that　the　Hans　have　fallen　beyond　hope　of　recovery　and　Cao　Cao　cannot　be　destroyed；　and　that　the　only　key　to　your　big　schemes　is　to　secure　your　present　position　in　order　to　keep　the　master　hand　and　control　the　binations　among　the　others。　Now　take　advantage　of　the　turmoil　in　the　north　to　smite　Huang　Zu　and　attack　Liu　Biao　in　Jingzhou。　Thereby　you　will　mand　the　whole　length　of　the　Great　River。　Then　you　may　consolidate　the　empire　and　bee　the　Son　of　Heaven。　This　was　how　the　Supreme　Ancestor　acted。〃

Hearing　this　Sun　Quan　was　very　greatly　pleased。　He　threw　on　some　clothing；　got　up；　and　thanked　his　newly…found　adviser。　Next　day　Sun　Quan　gave　Lu　Su　costly　gifts　and　sent　robes　and　silks　to　his　mother。

Lu　Su　then　remended　a　friend　of　his　to　Sun　Quans　notice；　a　man　of　wide　reading　and　great　ability。　He　was　also　a　filial　son。　His　name　was　Zhuge　Jin；　and　he　came　from　Nanyang。　Sun　Quan　treated　Zhuge　Jin　as　a　superior　guest。　This　man　dissuaded　Sun　Quan　from　making　mon　cause　with　Yuan　Shao；　but　advised　him　rather　to　favor　Cao　Cao；　against　whom　he　could　plan　when　occasion　served。　Sun　Quan　therefore　sent　back　the　messenger　Chen　Zhen　with　dispatches　that　broke　off　all　negotiations。

Hearing　of　Sun　Ces　death；　Cao　Cao　was　for　sending　an　expedition　against　the　south。

But　Zhang　Hong　dissuaded　him；　saying；　〃It　would　be　mean　to　take　advantage　of　the　period　of　mourning。　And　if　you　should　not　overe　him；　you　will　make　him　an　enemy　instead　of　being　a　friend。　It　would　be　preferable　to　treat　him　generously。〃

So　Cao　Cao　memorialized　the　Throne　and　obtained　for　Sun　Quan　the　title　of　General　and　Governor　of　Kuaiji；　while　Zhang　Hong　was　appointed　mander　under　Sun　Quan。

And　a　seal　of　office　was　sent　to　Sun　Quan　by　Zhang　Hong。　The　new　appointment　pleased　Sun　Quan；　and　he　was　greatly　glad　to　get　Zhang　Hong　back　again。　Then　Zhang　Hong　was　sent　to　act　jointly　with　Zhang　Zhao　in　the　administration。

Zhang　Hong　was　the　means　of　getting　another　into　Sun　Quans　service。　His　friend　was　Gu　Yong；　a　disciple　of　the　Historian　Cai　Yong。　Gu　Yong　was　a　man　of　few　words　and　an　abstainer　from　wine。　He　was　very　correct　in　all　things。　Sun　Quan　appointed　Gu　Yong　Deputy　Governor。

Henceforward　Sun　Quans　rule　was　very　prosperous；　and　he　waxed　mightily　in　influence　and　won　the　love　of　all　the　people。

When　Chen　Zhen　had　returned　and　related　the　events　in　the　South　Land　and　told　of　the　honors　that　Cao　Cao　had　obtained　for　Sun　Quan　in　return　for　his　support；　Yuan　Shao　was　very　wroth；　and　he　set　about　preparing　for　an　attack　on　Xuchang　with　a　force　of　seven　hundred　thousand　northern　soldiers。

Although　in　the　south　they　rest　from　war；

They　rattle　the　spears　beneath　the　northern　star。

Later　it　will　be　seen　which　side　conquered。

Chapter　30

Shunning　Advice；　Yuan　Shao　Loses　Leaders　and　Granaries；

Using　Strategy；　Cao　Cao　Scores　Victory　At　Guandu。

Hearing　that　Yuan　Shao　was　hastening　to　attack　at　Guandu；　Xiahou　Dun　wrote　to　the　capital　urgently　asking　for　reinforcements；　and　Cao　Cao　told　off　seventy　thousand　troops　with　which　he　marched。　Xun　Yu　was　left　to　guard　the　capital。

Just　as　Yuan　Shaos　army　was　starting；　Tian　Feng　sent　out　a　remonstrance　from　his　prison　cell；　saying；　〃My　lord；　a　hasty　attack　in　full　scale　will　b
