the　arrows　flew　down　in　great　numbers。　When　the　soldiers　of　Wei　retired；　Meng　Da　opened　the　gates　and　went　in　pursuit。　But　the　whole　of　Sima　Yis　army　soon　came　up；　and　the　banners　stood　so　thick　that　they　hid　the　sun。

〃This　is　what　Zhuge　Liang　foresaw！〃　said　Meng　Da　despairingly。　The　gates　were　closed　and　barred。

Meanwhile　the　wounded　general；　Xu　Huang；　had　been　borne　to　his　tent；　where　the　arrow　head　was　extracted　and　the　physician　attended　to　him。　But　that　night　he　died。　He　was　fifty…nine。　His　body　was　sent　to　Luoyang　for　burial。

Next　day；　when　Meng　Da　went　up　on　the　wall；　he　saw　the　city　was　entirely　surrounded　as　with　a　girdle　of　iron。　He　was　greatly　perturbed　and　could　not　decide　what　to　do。　Presently　he　saw　two　bodies　of　troops　ing　up；　their　banners　bearing　the　names　of　his　fellow　conspirators………Shen　Yi　and　Shen　Dan。　He　could　only　conclude　that　they　had　e　to　his　help；　so　he　opened　the　gates　to　them　and　went　out　to　join　them　in　the　fight。

〃Rebel；　stay！〃　cried　they　both　as　they　came　up。

Realizing　that　they　had　been　false；　he　turned　and　galloped　toward　the　city；　but　a　flight　of　arrows　met　him；　and　the　two　who　had　betrayed　him；　Li　Gu　and　Deng　Xian；　began　to　revile　him。

〃We　have　already　yielded　the　city！〃　they　cried。

Then　Meng　Da　fled。　But　he　was　pursued；　and　as　he　and　his　horse　were　both　exhausted；　he　was　speedily　overtaken　and　slain。　They　exposed　his　head；　and　his　soldiers　submitted。　Sima　Yi　was　weled　at　the　open　gates。　The　people　were　pacified；　the　soldiers　were　rewarded　and；　this　done；　a　report　of　their　success　was　sent　to　Cao　Rui。

Cao　Rui　ordered　the　body　of　Meng　Da　to　be　exposed　in　the　market　place　of　Luoyang；　and　he　promoted　Shen　Yi　and　Shen　Dan　and　gave　them　posts　in　the　army　of　Sima　Yi。　He　gave　Li　Gu　and　Deng　Xian　mand　of　the　cities　of　Xincheng　and　Shangyong。

Then　Sima　Yi　marched　to　Changan　and　camped。　The　leader　entered　the　city　to　have　audience　with　his　master；　by　whom　he　was　most　graciously　received。

〃Once　I　doubted　you；〃　said　Cao　Rui；　〃but　then　I　did　not　understand；　and　I　listened　to　mischief…makers。　I　regret　it。　Had　you　not　suppressed　Meng　Da；　both　capitals　would　have　gone　wrong。〃

Sima　Yi　replied；　〃Shen　Yi　gave　the　information　of　the　intended　revolt　and　thought　to　memorialize　Your　Majesty。　But　there　would　have　been　a　long　delay；　and　so　I　did　not　await　orders；　but　set　forth　at　once。　Delay　would　have　played　into　Zhuge　Liangs　hands。〃

Then　Sima　Yi　handed　in　Zhuge　Liangs　letter　to　Meng　Da。

＇e＇　Wu　Qi；　aka　Wu　Zi；　a　famous　general　in　the　Warring　States　period。　He　first　served　Lu；　then　went　to　Wei；　his　native；　and　led　Wei　army　against　Qin。　He　made　enemies　in　Wei；　so　he　fled　to　Chu；　where　King　Dao　made　him　prime　minister。　Wu　Qi　made　Chu　a　powerful　state；　expanded　her　territory；　defended　her　against　Wei；　Zhao；　and　Han；　and　attacked　Qin。　But　right　after　King　Dao　died；　Wu　Qi　was　put　to　death　by　his　enemies　at　court。　Wu　Qi　is　the　author　of　a　military　treatise　named　〃Wu　Qis　Art　of　War〃。　。。。。。

＇e＇　Sun　Zi　（aka　Sun　Wu；　Sunzi；　Suntzu；　Sun…tzu；　Sun　tzu）　the　author　of　the　famed　treatise　The　Art　of　War。　A　general　of　Wu　in　the　Spring　and　Autumn　period；　Sun　Zi　made　her　the　mightiest　state　during　his　lifetime　by　defeating　Chu　and　conquering　Yue。　His　treatise　the　Art　of　War　is　still　avidly　read　today　by　many。　。。。。。

When　the　Emperor　had　read　that；　he　said；　〃You　are　wiser　than　both　the　great　strategists　of　old………Wu　Qi*　and　Sun　Zi*。〃

The　Ruler　of　Wei　conferred　upon　the　successful　leader　a　pair　of　golden　axes　and　the　privilege　of　taking　action　in　important　matters　without　first　obtaining　his　masters　sanction。　Then　Sima　Yi　was　ordered　to　lead　the　army　to　the　pass　against　the　enemy。

Sima　Yi　said；　〃May　I　name　the　Leader　of　the　Van？〃

〃Whom　do　you　nominate？〃

〃Zhang　He；　General　of　the　Right　Army；　can　shoulder　this　task。〃

〃Just　the　man　I　wished　to　send；〃　said　Cao　Rui；　smiling。　And　Zhang　He　was　appointed。

Sima　Yi　took　his　army　off　Changan　and　marched　it　to　the　camp　of　the　Shu　army。

By　strategy　the　leader　shows　his　skill；

He　needs　bold　fighting　men　to　work　his　will。

The　result　of　the　campaign　will　appear　in　the　next　chapter。

Beside　sending　Zhang　He　as　Van　Leader　of　Sima　Yi；　Cao　Rui　appointed　two　other　generals；　Xin　Pi　and　Sun　Li；　to　assist　Cao　Zhen。　Xin　Pi　and　Sun　Li　led　fifty　thousand　troops。

Sima　Yis　army　was　two　hundred　thousand　strong。　They　marched　out　through　the　pass　and　made　a　camp。

When　encamped；　Sima　Yi　summoned　Zhang　He　to　his　tent　and　admonished　him；　saying；　〃A　characteristic　of　Zhuge　Liang　is　his　most　diligent　carefulness；　he　is　never　hasty。　If　I　were　in　his　place；　I　should　advance　through　the　Ziwu　Valley　to　capture　Changan　and　so　save　much　time。　It　is　not　that　he　is　unskillful；　but　he　fears　lest　that　plan　might　miscarry；　and　he　will　not　sport　with　risk。　Therefore　he　will　certainly　e　through　the　Xie　Valley；　taking　Meicheng　on　the　way。　That　place　captured；　he　will　divide　his　force　into　two；　one　part　to　take　Gu　Valley。　I　have　sent　Cao　Zhen　orders　to　guard　Meicheng　strictly　and　on　no　account　to　let　its　garrison　go　out　to　battle。　The　generals　Sun　Li　and　Xin　Pi　are　to　mand　the　Gu　Valley　entrance；　and　should　the　enemy　e；　they　are　to　make　a　sudden　attack。〃
