Chapter 001 도원결의 04


23.時人有橋玄者,謂操曰:「天下將亂,非命世之才,不能濟。能安之者,其在君乎?」南陽何顒見操,言:「漢室將亡,安天下者,必此人也。」汝南許劭,有知人之名。操往見之,問曰:「我何如人?」劭不答。又問,劭曰:「子治世之能臣,亂世之奸雄也。」操聞言大喜。年二十,舉孝廉,為郎,除洛陽北都尉。初到任,即設五色棒十餘條於縣之四門。有犯禁者,不避豪貴,皆責之。中常侍蹇碩之叔,提刀夜行,操巡夜拏住,就棒責之。由是,內外莫敢犯者,威名頗震。後為頓丘令。因黃巾起,拜為騎都尉,引馬步軍五千,前來潁川助戰。正值張梁、張寶敗走,曹操攔住,大殺一陣,斬首萬餘級,奪得旗旛、金鼓馬匹極多。張梁、張寶死戰得脫。操見過皇甫嵩,朱雋,隨即引兵追襲張梁、張寶去了。


A man of the time named Qiao Xuan said to Cao Cao, "Rebellion is at hand, and only a man of the greatest ability can succeed in restoring tranquillity. That man is yourself."


And He Yong of Nanyang said of him, "The dynasty of Han is about to fall. He who can restore peace is this man and only he."

Cao Cao went to inquire his future of a wise man of Runan named Xu Shao.


"What manner of man am I?" asked Cao Cao.


The seer made no reply, and again and again Cao Cao pressed the question.


Then Xu Shao replied, "In peace you are an able subject; in chaos you are a crafty hero!"


Cao Cao greatly rejoiced to hear this.


Cao Cao graduated at twenty and earned a reputation of piety and integrity. He began his career as Commanding Officer in a county within the Capital District. In the four gates of the city he guarded, he hung up clubs of various sorts, and he would punish any breach of the law whatever the rank of the offender. Now an uncle of Eunuch Jian Shuo was found one night in the streets with a sword and was arrested. In due course he was beaten. Thereafter no one dared to offend again, and Cao Cao's name became heard. Soon he became a magistrate of Dunqiu.


At the outbreak of the Yellow Scarves, Cao Cao held the rank of General and was given command of five thousand horse and foot to help fight at Yingchuan. He just happened to fall in with the newly defeated rebels whom he cut to pieces. Thousands were slain and endless banners and drums and horses were captured, together with huge sums of money. However, Zhang Ba and Zhang Lian got away; and after an interview with Huangfu Song, Cao Cao went in pursuit of them.


24.卻說玄德引關、張來潁川,聽得喊殺之聲,又望見火光燭天,急引兵來時,賊已敗散。玄德見皇甫嵩,朱雋,其道盧植之意。嵩曰:「張梁、張寶勢窮力乏,必投廣宗去依張角。玄德可即星夜往助。」


Meanwhile Liu Bei and his brothers were hastening toward Yingchuan, when they heard the din of battle and saw flames rising high toward the sky. But they arrived too late for the fighting. They saw Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to whom they told the intentions of Lu Zhi.


"The rebel power is quite broken here," said the commanders, "but they will surely make for Guangzong to join Zhang Jue. You can do nothing better than hasten back."


25.玄德領命,遂引兵復回。到得半路,只見一簇軍馬,護送一輛檻車,車中之囚,乃盧植也。玄德大驚,滾鞍下馬,問其緣故。植曰:「我圍張角,將次可破;因角用妖術,未能即勝。朝廷差黃門左豐前來體探,問我索取賄賂。我答曰:『軍糧尚缺,安有餘錢奉承天使?』左豐挾恨,回奏朝廷,說我高壘不戰,惰慢軍心;因此朝廷震怒,遣中郎將董卓來代將我兵,取我回京問罪。」


The three brothers thus retraced their steps. Half way along the road they met a party of soldiers escorting a prisoner in a cage-cart. When they drew near, they saw the prisoner was no other than Lu Zhi, the man they were going to help. Hastily dismounting, Liu Bei asked what had happened.


Lu Zhi explained, "I had surrounded the rebels and was on the point of smashing them, when Zhang Jue employed some of his supernatural powers and prevented my victory. The court sent down Eunuch Zhuo Feng to inquire into my failure, and that official demanded a bribe. I told him how hard pressed we were and asked him where, in the circumstances, I could find a gift for him. He went away in wrath and reported that I was hiding behind my ramparts and would not give battle and that I disheartened my army. So I was superseded by Dong Zhuo, and I have to go to the capital to answer the charge."

 

26.張飛聽罷,大怒,要斬護送軍人,以救盧植。玄德急止之曰:「朝廷自有公論,汝豈可造次?」軍士簇擁盧植去了。關公曰:「盧中郎已被逮,別人領兵,我等去無所依,不如且回涿郡。」玄德從其言,遂引軍北行。


This story put Zhang Fei into a rage. He was for slaying the escort and setting free Lu Zhi. But Liu Bei checked him.


"The government will take the due course," said Liu Bei. "You must not act hastily!"


And the escort and the three brothers went two ways.


It was useless to continue on that road to Guangzong, so Guan Yu proposed to go back to Zhuo, and they retook the road.

 

27.行無二日,忽聞山後喊聲大震。玄德引關、張縱馬上高岡望之,見漢軍大敗,後面漫山塞野,黃巾蓋地而來,旗上大書「天公將軍」。玄德曰:「此張角也!可速戰!」


Two days later they heard the thunder of battle behind some hills. Hastening to the top, they beheld the government soldiers suffering great loss, and they saw the countryside was full of Yellow Scarves. On the rebels' banners were the words Zhang Jue the Lord of Heaven written large.


"We will attack this Zhang Jue!" said Liu Bei to his brothers, and they galloped out to join in the battle.

 

28.三人飛馬引軍而出。張角正殺敗董卓,乘勢趕來,忽遇三人衝殺,角軍大亂,敗走五十餘里。三人救了董卓回寨。卓問三人現居何職。玄德曰:「白身。」卓甚輕之,不為禮。玄德出,張飛大怒曰:「我等親赴血戰,救了這廝,他卻如此無禮﹔若不殺之,難消我氣!」便要提刀入帳來殺董卓。


正是:

人情勢利古猶今,

誰識英雄是白身?

安得快人如翼德,

盡誅世上負心人!


         [三國誌詩001-p05]


畢竟董卓性命如何,且看下文分解。


Zhang Jue had worsted Dong Zhuo and was following up his advantage. He was in hot pursuit when the three brothers dashed into his army, threw his ranks into confusion, and drove him back fifteen miles. Then the brothers returned with the rescued general to his camp.


"What offices have you?" asked Dong Zhuo, when he had leisure to speak to the brothers.


"None," replied they.

 

And Dong Zhuo treated them with disrespect. Liu Bei retired calmly, but Zhang Fei was furious.


"We have just rescued this menial in a bloody fight," cried Zhang Fei, "and now he is rude to us! Nothing but his death can slake my anger."


Zhang Fei stamped toward Dong Zhuo's tent, holding firmly a sharp sword.


As it was in olden time so it is today, 

The simple wight may merit well, 

Officialdom holds sway; 

Zhang Fei, the blunt and hasty, 

Where can you find his peer? 

But slaying the ungrateful would 

Mean many deaths a year.


Dong Zhuo's fate will be unrolled in later chapters.
