　　忽報揚州司馬大都督曹休上表說，東吳審陽太守周魴，願以郡來降，密遣人陳言七事。說東吳可破，乞早發兵取之。叡就御床上拆開，與司馬懿同觀。懿奏曰：「此言極有理，吳當滅矣。臣願引一軍往助曹休。」忽班中一人奏曰：「吳人之言，反覆不一，未可深信。周魴智謀之士，必不肯降。此特誘兵之詭計也。」眾視之，乃建威將軍賈逵也。懿曰：「此言亦不可不聽，機會亦不可錯失。」魏主曰：「仲達可與賈逵同助曹休。」二人領命去訖。於是曹休引大軍逕取皖城，賈逵引前將軍滿寵，東皖太守胡質，逕取陽城，直向東關；司馬懿引本部軍逕取江陵。

　　卻說吳主孫權，在武昌東關，會多官商議曰：「今有鄱陽太守周魴密表，奏稱魏揚州都督曹休，有入寇之意。今魴詐施詭計，暗陳七事，引誘魏兵深入重地，可設伏兵擒之。今魏兵分三路而來，諸卿有何高見？」顧雍進曰：「此大任非陸伯言不敢當也。」

　　權大喜，乃召陸遜，封為輔國大將軍、平北都元帥，統御林大兵，攝行王事；授以白旄黃鉞，文武百官，皆聽約束。權親自與遜執鞭。領命謝恩畢，乃保二人為左右都督，分兵以迎三道。權問何人，遜曰：「奮威將軍朱桓、妥南將軍全琮二人可為輔佐。」權從之，即命朱桓為左都督，全琮為右都督都。於是陸遜總率江南八十一州並荊湖之眾七十餘萬，令朱桓在左，全琮在右，遜自居中，三路進兵。朱桓獻策曰：「曹休以親見任，非智勇之將也。今聽周魴誘言，深入重地，元帥以兵擊之，曹休必敗。敗後必走兩條路：左乃夾石，右乃桂車。此二路皆山僻小徑，最為險峻。某願與全子璜各引一軍，伏於山險，先以柴木大石塞斷其路，曹休可擒矣。若擒了曹休，便長驅直進，唾手而得壽春，以窺許、洛，乃萬世一時也。」遜曰：「此非善策，吾自有妙用。」於是朱桓懷不平而退。遜令諸葛瑾等拒守江陵，以敵司馬懿。諸路俱各調撥停當。

　　卻說曹休兵臨皖城，周魴來迎，逕到曹休帳下。休問曰：「近得足下之書，所陳七事，深為有理，奏聞天子，故起大軍三路進發。若得江東之地足下之功不小。有人言足下多謀，誠恐所言不實。吾料足下必不欺我。」周魴大哭，急掣從人所佩劍欲自刎，休急止之。魴仗劍而言曰：「吾所陳七事，恨不能吐出心肝。今反生疑，必有吳人使反間之計也。若聽其言，吾必死矣，吾之忠心，惟天可表！」言訖，又欲自刎。曹休大驚，慌忙抱住曰：「吾戲言耳。足下何故如此？」魴乃用劍割髮擲於地曰：「吾以忠心待公，公以吾為戲，吾割父母所遺之髮，以表此心。」

　　曹休乃深信之，設宴相待。席罷，周魴辭去。忽報建威將軍賈逵來見，休令入，問曰：「汝來何為？」逵曰：「某料東吳之兵，必盡屯皖城。都督不可輕進，待某兩下夾攻，賊兵可破矣。」休怒曰：「汝欲奪吾功耶？」逵曰：「又聞周魴髮為誓，此乃詐也。昔要離斷臂，刺殺慶忌，未可深信。」休大怒曰：「吾正欲起兵，汝何出此言以慢我軍心！」叱左右推出斬之。眾將告曰：「未及進兵，先斬大將，於軍不利。且乞暫免。」


55 Soon after this edict was issued, a memorial was received from Cao Xiu, Minister of War and Commander of Yangzhou, saying that Zhou Fang, the Wu Governor of Poyang, wished to tender his submission and transfer his allegiance, and had sent a man to present a memorandum under seven headings showing how the power of the South Land could be broken and to ask that an army be dispatched soon.

56 Cao Rui spread the document out on the couch that he and Sima Yi might read it.

57 "It seems very reasonable," said Sima Yi. "Wu could be quite destroyed. Let me go with an army to help Cao Xiu."

58 But from among the courtiers stepped out Jia Kui, who said, "What this man of Wu says may be understood in two ways. Do not trust it. Zhou Fang is a wise and crafty man and very unlikely to desert. In this is some ruse to decoy our soldiers into danger."

59 "Such words must also be listened to," said Sima Yi. "Yet such a chance must not be missed."

60 "You and Jia Kui might both go to the help of Cao Xiu," said the Ruler of Wei.

61 Sima Yi and Jia Kui went.

62 A large army, led by Cao Xiu, moved to Huancheng. Jia Kui, assisted by General Man Chong and Governor Hu Zhi of Dongwan, marched to capture Yangcheng, and facing the East Pass. Sima Yi led the third army to Jiangling.

63 Now the Prince of Wu, Sun Quan, was at the East Pass in Wuchang, and there he assembled his officers and said, "The Governor of Poyang, Zhou Fang, has sent up a secret memorial saying that Cao Xiu intends to invade. Zhou Fang has therefore set out a trap for Cao Xiu and has drawn up a document giving seven plausible circumstances, hoping thereby to cajole the Wei army into his power. The armies of Wei are on the move in three divisions, and I need your advice."

64 Gu Yong stood forth, saying, "There is only one man fit to cope with the present need: He is Lu Xun."

65 So Lu Xun was summoned and made Grand Commander, General Who Pacifies the North, Commander-in-Chief of all the State Armies, including the Imperial Guards, and Assistant in the Royal Duties. He was given the White Banners and the Golden Axes, which denoted imperial rank. All officers, civil and military, were placed under his orders. Moreover, Sun Quan personally stood beside him and held his whip while he mounted his steed.

66 Having received all these marks of confidence and favor, Lu Xun wanted two persons to be his assistants.

67 Sun Quan asked their names, and Lu Xun said, "They are Zhu Huan, General Who Fortifies Prowess, and Quan Zong, General Who Calms the South. These two should be in command."

68 Sun Quan approved and appointed Zhu Huan and Quan Zong as Left Commander and Right Commander respectively.

69 Then the grand army, comprising all the forces of the eighty-one counties of the South Land and the levies of Jingzhou, seven hundred thousand troops in total, was assembled and marched out in three divisions, Lu Xun in the center, with Zhu Huan and Quan Zong supporting him left and right with the other two columns.

70 Then said Zhu Huan, "Cao Xiu is neither able nor bold. He holds office because he is of the blood. He has fallen into the trap laid by Zhou Fang and marched too far to be able to withdraw. If the Commander-in-Chief will smite, Cao Xiu must be defeated. Defeated, he must flee along two roads, one Jiashi on the left, the other Guichi on the right, both of which are precipitous and narrow. Let me and my colleague go to prepare an ambush in these roads. We will block them and so cut off their escape. If this Cao Xiu could be captured, and a hasty advance made, success would be easy and sure. We should get Shouchun, whence Xuchang and Luoyang can be seen. This is the one chance in the thousand."

71 "I do not think the plan good," said Lu Xun. "I have a better one."

72 Zhu Huan resented the rejection of his scheme and went away. Lu Xun ordered Zhuge Jin and certain others to garrison Jiangling and oppose Sima Yi and made all other dispositions of forces.

73 Cao Xiu neared Huancheng, and Zhou Fang came out of the city to welcome him and went to the general's tent.

74 Cao Xiu said, "I received your letter and the memorandum, which was most logical, and sent it to His Majesty. He has set in motion accordingly three armies. It will be a great merit for you, Sir, if the South Land can be added to His Majesty's dominions. People say you are abundant in craft, but I do not believe what they say, for I think you will be true to me and not fail."

75 Zhou Fang wept. He seized a sword from one of his escort and was about to kill himself, but Cao Xiu stopped him.

76 Still leaning on the sword, Zhou Fang said, "As to the seven things I mentioned, my regret is that I cannot show you all. You doubt me because some persons from Wu and Wei have been poisoning your mind against me. If you heed them, the only course for me is to die. Heaven only can make manifest my loyal heart."

77 Again he made to slay himself.
78 But Cao Xiu in trepidation threw his arms about him, saying, "I did not mean it. The words were uttered in jest. Why do you act thus?"

79 Upon this, Zhou Fang, with his sword, cut off his hair and threw it on the ground, saying, "I have dealt with you with sincerity, Sir, and you joke about it. Now I have cut off the hair, which I inherited from my parents, in order to prove my sincerity."

80 Then Cao Xiu doubted no more, but trusted him fully and prepared a banquet for him, and when the feast was over Zhou Fang returned to his own.

81 General Jia Kui came to Cao Xiu, and when asked whether there was any special reason for the visit, he said, "I have come to warn you, Commander, to be cautious and wait till you and I can attack the enemy together. The whole army of Wu is encamped at Huancheng."

82 "You mean you want to share in my victory," sneered Cao Xiu.

83 "It is said Zhou Fang cut off his hair as a pledge of sincerity. That is only another bit of deceit. According to the Spring and Autumn Annals, Yao Li cut off his arm as a pledge of loyalty before he assassinated Prince Qing Ji. Mutilation is no guarantee. Do not trust Zhou Fang."

84 "Why do you come to utter ill-omened words just as I am opening the campaign? You destroy the spirit of the army!" said Cao Xiu.

85 In his wrath he told the lictors to put Jia Kui to death.

86 However, the officers interceded, saying, "Before the march, killing our general is not favorable to the army. O Commander, spare him until after the expedition!"
