〃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。

Shunning Advice; Yuan Shao Loses Leaders and Granaries;

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
