Chapter 082-04 선주의 오나라 정벌

  孫桓折了李異、謝旌、譚雄等許多將士,力窮勢孤,不能抵敵,及差人回吳求救。蜀將張南,馮習謂吳班曰:「目今吳兵勢敗,正好乘虛劫寨。」班曰:「孫桓雖然折了許多將士,朱然水軍,見今結營江上,未曾損折。今日若去劫寨,倘水軍上岸,斷我歸路,如之奈何?」南曰:「此事至易。可教關、張二將軍,各引五千軍伏於山谷中;如朱然來救,左右兩軍齊出夾攻,必然取勝。」班曰:「不如先使小卒,詐作降兵,卻將劫寨事告知朱然;然見火起,必來救應,卻令伏兵擊之,則大事濟矣。」馮習等大喜,遂依計而行。

  卻說朱然聽知孫桓損兵折將,正欲來救,忽伏路軍引幾個小卒上船投降。然問之,小卒曰:「我等是馮習帳下士卒,因賞罰不明,特來投降,就報機密。」然曰:「所報何事?」小卒曰:「今晚馮習乘虛要劫孫將軍營寨,約定舉火為號。」朱然聽畢,即使人報知孫桓。報事人行至半途,被關興殺了。朱然一面商議,欲引兵去救應孫桓。部將崔禹曰:「小卒之言,未可深信,倘有疏虞,水陸二軍,盡皆休矣。將軍只宜穩守水寨,某願替將軍一行。」

  然從之,遂令崔禹引一萬軍前去。是夜馮習,張南,吳班分兵三路,直殺入孫桓寨中,四面火起。吳兵大亂,尋路奔走。

  且說崔禹正行之間,忽見火起,急催兵前進。剛纔轉過山來,忽山谷鼓聲大震;左邊關興,右邊張苞,兩路夾攻。崔禹大驚,方欲奔走,正遇張苞;交馬只一合,被苞生擒而回。朱然聽知危急,將船往下水退五六十里去了。

  孫桓引敗軍逃走,問部將曰:「前去何處城堅糧廣?」部將曰:「此去正北彝陵城,可以屯兵。」桓引敗軍急望彝陵而走。方進得城,吳班等追至,將城四面圍定。關興、張苞等解崔禹到秭歸來。先主大喜,就將崔禹斬卻,大賞三軍。自此威風震動,江南諸將,無不膽寒。

  卻說孫桓令人求救於吳王,吳王大驚,即召文武商議曰:「今孫桓受困於彝陵,朱然大敗於江中,蜀兵勢大,如之奈何?」張昭奏曰:「今諸將雖多物故,然尚有十餘人,何慮於劉備?可命韓當為正將,周泰為副將,潘璋為先鋒,凌統為合後,甘寧為救應,起兵十萬拒之。」權依所奏,即命諸將速行。此時甘寧正患痢疾,帶病從征。

  卻說先主從巫峽,建平起,直接彝陵界分,七十餘里,連結四十餘寨;見關興,張苞,屢立大功,歎曰:「昔日從朕諸將,皆老邁無用矣;復有二姪如此英雄,朕何慮孫權乎!」

  正言間,忽報韓當,周泰領兵到來。先主方欲遣將迎敵,近臣奏曰:「老將黃忠,引五六人投東吳去了。」先主笑曰:「黃漢升非反叛之人也;因朕失口誤言老者無用,彼必不服老,故奮力去相持矣。」即召關興、張苞曰:「黃漢升此去必然有失。賢姪休辭勞苦,可去相助。略有微功。便可令回,勿使有失。」二小將拜辭先生,引本部軍來助黃忠。正是:

老臣素矢忠君志,
年少能成報國功。

未知黃忠此去如何,且看下文分解。


92 After this they drew up a report of the victory for the First Ruler. Sun Huan had lost his generals---Li Yi, Xie Jing, and Tan Xiong---as well as several other officers and many troops. His army was too weakened to continue the campaign, so he halted and sent back to Wu for reinforcements.

93 Then Generals Zhang Nan and Feng Xi said to Hu Ban, "The power of Wu is broken. Let us raid their encampment."

94 But Hu Ban said, "Though so many have been lost, there are many left. Zhu Ran's marine force is in a strong position on the river and is untouched. If you carry out your plan and the marines land in force and cut off our retreat, we shall be in difficulties."

95 "That is easily met," said Zhang Nan. "Let each of the two leaders Guan Xing and Zhang Bao take five thousand troops and go into ambush in the valleys to guard against any such move."

96 Said Hu Ban, "I think it better to send some persons to pretend to be deserters. Let them tell Zhu Ran of the plan to raid the camp, and Zhu Ran will come to the rescue as soon as he sees fire. Then the ambushing soldiers can attack him."

97 They thought this a fine plan, and they made the necessary arrangements.

98 Hearing of the ill success and losses of his colleague Sun Huan, Zhu Ran was already thinking of going to his help, when a few deserters appeared and hoarded his ship.

99 He questioned them, and they said, "We are Feng Xi's soldiers, and we have deserted because of unfair treatment. We have a secret to tell."

100 "What secret can you betray?"

101 "Tonight Feng Xi is going to make an attack upon General Sun Huan's camp. He thinks it is a good chance. They are going to raise a fire as a signal."

102 Zhu Ran saw no reason to doubt the men, and he sent off at once to tell Sun Huan. But the messenger never arrived, as Guan Xing intercepted and slew him.

103 Then Zhu Ran deliberated upon going to help.

104 "You cannot trust what those soldiers said," said Cui Yu, one of the commanders. "Both army and navy will be lost if anything goes wrong. No, General; rather keep careful watch and let me go."

105 Zhu Ran saw this was the wiser plan, so he gave Cui Yu ten thousand troops, and Cui Yu left.

106 That night Hu Ban, Zhang Nan, and Feng Xi made an attack on Sun Huan's camp from three directions, and the soldiers were scattered and fled. Then the three generals set the whole camp on fire. Cui Yu saw the flames as he marched and pressed on. Then just as he was passing some hills, he came upon the ambush, and Guan Xing and Zhang Bao poured out from left and right. Taken by surprise, Cui Yu could only try to flee, but he met Zhang Bao, who made him prisoner.

107 When Zhu Ran heard the news, he was panic-stricken and dropped down-river twenty miles. The remnant of Sun Huan's troops ran away, following their leader.

108 As they fled, Sun Huan inquired, "Is there any city ahead that has good defense and granary?"

109 They told him, saying, "To the north is Yiling, where we can camp."

110 So they went thither.

111 Just as they reached the wall, their pursuers came up and the city was besieged in all four sides.

112 Guan Xing and Zhang Bao brought the captive Cui Yu back to Zigui and saw the First Ruler, who rejoiced at their success. The prisoner was put to death, and the soldiers were rewarded. The effect of these victories spread far, so that the leaders in Wu had no inclination to fight.

113 When the Prince of Wu received Sun Huan's call for help, he was frightened and knew not what to do.

114 So he called a great council, and he said, "Sun Huan is besieged in Yiling, and Zhu Ran has been defeated on the river. What can be done?"

115 Then Zhang Zhao said, "Though several of your commanders are dead, yet have you many left. Half a score is enough to relieve your anxiety. Send Han Dang as Commander, with Zhou Tai as his second, Pan Zhang as Van Leader, Ling Tong as Rear Guard, Gan Ning in reserve. You want one hundred thousand troops."

116 Sun Quan made the appointments as proposed. Gan Ning was very seriously ill just then, but he accepted the task.

117 Now the First Ruler had made a line of forty camps from Wukou and Jianping to Yiling, spreading twenty-five miles of distance.

118 He was exceedingly pleased with his two nephews, who had distinguished themselves again and again, and he said, "The generals that have followed me since the early days have got aged, and thus no longer a big use. But now that I have such two valorous nephews, I have no fear for Sun Quan."

119 Then he heard of the coming of Sun Quan's army under Han Dang and Zhou Tai, and he wished to select a commander to oppose the Wu army.

120 But those near him reported: "Huang Zhong and a half dozen other officers have run off to Wu!"

121 "Huang Zhong is no traitor," said the First Ruler, smiling. "It is only that he heard what I happened to say about old and useless leaders. He will not accept he is useless and wants to prove he is not."

122 Then he called Guan Xing and Zhang Bao and said to them, "Huang Zhong may fail in this enterprise of his, so I hope you two will not mind going to his assistance. As soon as there is some success to report, get him to return and do not let him come to grief."

123 So the two got their troops together and went off to assist the aged warrior.

124 When young, success is easy, thine at will, 
The aged servant fails, though willing still.

125 The next chapter will relate the outcome of Huang Zhong's expedition.
