Chapter 061-02 손권이 조조를 물리치다

  正商議間,忽屏後一人大喝而出曰:「進此計者可斬之!欲害吾女之命耶?」眾驚視之,乃吳國太也。國太怒曰:「吾一生唯有一女,嫁與劉備。今若動兵,吾女性命如何?」因叱孫權曰:「汝掌父兄之業,坐領八十一州,尚自不足,乃顧小利而不念骨肉!」孫權諾諾連聲,答曰:「老母之訓,豈敢有違!」遂叱退眾官。國太恨恨而入。孫權立於軒下,自思:「此機會一失,荊襄何日可得?」

  正沉吟間,只見張昭入問曰:「主公有何憂疑?」孫權曰:「正思適間之事。」張昭曰:「此極易也。今差心腹將一人,只帶五百軍,潛入荊州,下一封密書與郡主,只說國太病危,欲見親女,取郡主星夜回東吳。玄德平生只有一子,就教帶來。那時玄德定把荊州來換阿斗。如其不然,一任動兵,更有何礙?」權曰:「此計大妙!吾有一人,姓周名善,最有膽量;自幼穿房入戶,多隨吾兄。今可差他去。」昭曰:「切勿洩漏。只此便令起行。」

  於是密遣周善,將五百人,扮為客商,分作五船;更詐修國書,以備盤詰。船內暗藏兵器。周善領命,取荊州水路而來。船泊江邊,善自入荊州,令門吏報孫夫人。夫人命周善入,善呈上密書。夫人見說國太病危,灑淚動問。周善拜訴曰:「國太好生病重,旦夕只是思念夫人。倘去得遲,恐不能相見。就教夫人帶阿斗去見一面。」夫人曰:「皇叔引兵遠出,我今欲回,須使人知會軍師,方可以行。」周善曰:「若軍師回言道:『須報知皇叔,候了回命,方可下船』,如之奈何?」夫人曰:「若不辭而去,恐有阻當。」周善曰:「大江之中,已準備下船隻。只今便請夫人上車出城。」

  孫夫人聽知母病危,如何不慌;便將七歲孩兒阿斗,載在車中;隨行帶三十餘人,各跨刀劍上馬離荊州城,便來江邊上船。府中人欲報時,孫夫人已到沙頭鎮,下在船中了。

  周善方欲開船,只聽得岸上有人大叫:「且休開船,容與夫人餞行!」視之,乃趙雲也。原來趙雲巡哨方回,聽得這個消息,吃了一驚,只帶四五騎旋風般沿江趕來。周善手執長戈,大喝曰:「汝何人,敢當主母!」叱令軍士一齊開船,各將軍器出來,排列在船上。風順水急,船皆隨流而去。趙雲沿江趕叫:「任從夫人去。只有一句話拜稟。」

  周善不睬,只催船速進。趙雲沿江趕到十餘里,忽見江灘斜攬一隻漁船在那裡。趙雲棄馬執槍,跳上漁船。只兩人駕船前來,望著夫人所坐大船追趕。周善教軍士放箭。趙雲以槍撥之,箭皆紛紛落水。離大船懸隔丈餘,吳兵用槍亂刺。趙雲棄槍在小船上,掣所佩「青釭劍」在手,分開槍搠,望吳船湧身一跳,早登大船。吳兵盡皆驚倒。


29 But just then a voice was heard from behind the screen, crying, "You may just put to death the man who proposed that scheme for trying to compass the death of my daughter."

30 Everyone started with surprise. It was the Dowager Marchioness' voice.

31 Further, Lady Wu looked very angry as she entered, saying, "What is to become of my only daughter, who is the wife of Liu Bei?"

32 She turned her wrathful eyes to Sun Quan and said, "You were heir to your father and brother and obtained possession of all these lands without the least effort. Yet you are dissatisfied and would forget the claims of your own flesh and blood and sacrifice your sister for the sake of adding a little to your lands."

33 "No, no!" murmured Sun Quan, ashamed. "I would never think of going contrary to my mother's wishes and orders."

34 He abruptly dismissed the assembly, and when they had gone the old lady, still nursing her wrath, retired to her own apartments.

35 Left alone beneath the portico, Sun Quan sighed sadly.

36 "This chance missed! When will Jingzhou be mine?" thought he.

37 While still deep in reverie, Zhang Zhao came up, saying, "What grieves my lord?"

38 "No great matter; only this last failure to gain my ends."

39 "The difficulty may be easily removed," said Zhang Zhao. "Choose some trusty man and charge him with a secret letter to Lady Sun Ren saying that her mother is dangerously ill. Give him five hundred men as escort and tell him to make his way privily into Jingzhou City and deliver the letter. Hearing her mother wants her, she will rush home at once, and she might bring with her the only son of Liu Bei. Liu Bei will be glad enough to exchange Jingzhou for his son. If he will not, you can still send the army."

40 "That sounds like a good plan," said Sun Quan. "Further, I have the man to carry it out successfully. He is that Zhou Shan, who was a bold one. He used to accompany my brother in his youth. He is the man to go."

41 "Keep it a secret, then," said Zhang Zhao, "and let Zhou Shan start quickly."

42 It was decided that Zhou Shan should take with him about five hundred soldiers disguised as ordinary traders. He had five vessels and distributed his men among them, while weapons were hidden in the holds. Travel documents were forged to look like veritable authority in case they were asked.

43 Zhou Shan set out along the river route for the city of Jingzhou and was not long on the way. He anchored his ships under the bank, landed, and went into the city to the residence, where he bade the doorkeepers announce him. He was admitted and led into the presence of Lady Sun and presently gave her the secret letter. When she read that her mother was in danger of death, she began to weep bitterly and questioned the messenger closely.

44 Zhou Shan invented a story, saying, "The Dowager Marchioness is really fretting for a sight of yours. If you do not go quickly, it will be too late. The Dowager Marchioness also wants to see little Liu Shan once before she dies."

45 Lady Sun replied, "You know that the Imperial Uncle is far away on military service, and I ought to inform the chief of the army before returning home."

46 "But what will you do if the chief says he must inform your husband and await his consent?" said Zhou Shan.

47 "If I went without asking permission---but I fear that is impossible."

48 "My ships are all ready in the river, and you have only to drive through the city," said Zhou Shan.

49 Naturally the news of her mother's illness greatly disturbed the young wife. In a short time her carriage was ready, and she mounted, taking Liu Shan with her. She took an escort of thirty guards, all armed, and was soon at the river side and had embarked before the palace people could report what she was doing.

50 But just as the ships were starting, a voice was heard, shouting, "Do not start yet! Let me bid my lady farewell."

51 The voice was Zhao Zilong's. He had just returned from an inspection trip, and they had at once told him of Lady Sun's sudden departure. As soon as he had recovered from his surprise, he dashed down to the river bank like a whirlwind, with only half a dozen followers. He arrived only just in time. The boat was starting, and Zhou Shan stood in the prow, a long spear in his hand.

52 "Who are you that you dare hinder the movements of your mistress?" cried Zhou Shan.

53 Zhou Shan bade his soldiers cast off and get under way, and also to prepare their weapons to fight. The ship moved off with a fair wind and a strong current beneath her keel.

54 But Zhao Zilong followed along the bank.

55 "My lady may go or not as she pleases," cried he, "but I have one word to say to her."

56 Zhou Shan turned a deaf ear and only urged his soldiers to get greater speed on the ship. Zhao Zilong followed down the bank for some three or more miles. Then he saw a fishing boat made fast to the bank. He at once dismounted, cast off the rope, took his spear, and leaped into the boat. Then he made the two men row him toward the vessel in which sat Lady Sun.

57 As he approached, the soldiers of the South Land threatened him with their spears. Thereupon he threw his spear into the bottom of the boat, drew the glittering steel blade he wore, dashed aside the opposing spears, and leaped upon the larger vessel.
