Hence the very next day Yang Xiu took Zhang Song over to the west parade ground; where a review of the Tiger Guard was to be held。 There were fifty thousand of them; and when drawn up in order; they made a very brave show with their gleaming helmets and bright new uniforms。 Their drums rolled to shake the heavens; and their weapons glittered in the sun。 Their discipline and order were perfect。 Their gay banners fluttered in the breeze。 They looked ready to fly even; so alert and smart were they。
Zhang Song glanced at them contemptuously。
After a long time Cao Cao called up Zhang Song and; pointing to his army; said; 〃Have you ever seen such fine bold fellows in Yizhou?〃
〃We never see this military parade in Yizhou。 We govern the people by righteousness。〃
Cao Cao changed color and looked hard at the bold speaker; who gazed back at him without the least sign of fear。
Yang Xiu shot a quick glance at Zhang Song; but Cao Cao went on; saying; 〃I regard the rat…class of the world as of no more importance than so many weeds; and for my army to reach a place is to overe it; to give battle is to conquer; to besiege is to take。 Those who are with me; live; but those who oppose me; die。 Do you understand?〃
〃O Prime Minister; I know well that when you march out your army; you always conquer。 I knew it when you attacked Lu Bu at Puyang; and when you fought Zhang Xiu at Wancheng; and when you met Zhou Yu at the Red Cliffs; and when in Huarong Valley you encountered Guan Yu; and on that day when you cut off your beard and threw away your robe at Tong Pass; and when you hid in a boat to escape the arrows on the Yellow River。 On all these occasions; no one could stand against you。〃
It made Cao Cao very angry to be thus twitted with his misfortunes and he said; 〃You stuck…up pedant! How dare you thus bring up all my failures?〃
Cao Cao called to his attendants to eject the bold disputant and put him to death。
Yang Xiu ventured to argue with him; saying; 〃You may behead him; but he came from the west bearing tribute; and his death would have a very evil effect on all distant peoples。〃
But Cao Cao was too angry to be reasonable and persisted。 However; Xun Yu also remonstrated; and Zhang Song was not put to death。 But he was beaten and ejected。 He returned to his lodging and left the city that night; reflecting upon what he had intended and what he had acplished。
Thought he; 〃I did not expect such arrogance when I came with the intention of giving him a region。 When I get back; Liu Zhang will expect great things。 Now I am returning empty handed and a failure to endure the laughter of my fellow country people。 I will not go back。 I have heard of the virtues of Liu Bei; and I will go to him and see what manner of man he is。 Then I can decide what to do。〃
So with his little escort and following he made for Jingzhou。 He had reached the boundaries of Wuchang when he met a body of horsemen; at the head of whom rode a general in simple dress。
The general pulled up; saying; 〃Surely you are the Charioteer Zhang Song。〃
〃I am he;〃 said Zhang Song。
The general quickly dismounted and humbly said; 〃I have expected you these many days。 I am Zhao Yun。〃
Zhang Song dismounted and returned the salutation; saying; 〃Then you are no other than the Fine Man of Changshan。〃
〃No other;〃 was the reply。 〃And my lord Liu Bei bade me await you here and offer you refreshment after your long and toilsome journey。〃
At this some soldiers brought forward wine and food which they offered kneeling。
Zhang Song said; 〃I am e because the world says Liu Bei is liberal and kindly disposed。〃
After a few cups of wine; the two retook the road toward Jingzhou City; which they neared next day at evening。 They went to the guest…house。 Here they found a large number of people who received the visitor with the beating of drums and every sign of respect。
And the officer in mand; bowing low; said; 〃My brother sent me to meet you after your long and dusty journey and prepare the guest…house for your reception。 My name is Guan Yu。〃
So Zhang Song and Zhao Yun dismounted and entered the guest…house; where hosts and guest exchanged formal salutations and took their seats。 In a short time refreshments were served; and both men were most diligent in their attention to the traveler。 This roadside banquet was prolonged to the time of setting the watch; when they prepared for rest。
Next morning; after the early meal; they mounted and continued their journey。 Very soon they met Liu Bei himself; with an escort; and his two chief advisers; deferentially standing by the roadside。
As soon as he recognized them; Zhang Song dismounted and walked toward them。 Liu Bei received him with extreme respect。
〃Your exalted name has been long known to me;〃 said Liu Bei。 〃And it has reverberated through my ears。 My one regret is that cloudy hills and long distances have hitherto prevented me from enjoying the advantage of your instruction。 Hearing that you were passing through; I have e to meet you。 And if you would be willing to notice me and condescend to rest for a time in my city; thus allowing me to satisfy my long disappointed desire to see you; I should indeed hold myself fortunate。〃
Naturally the travelers vanity was tickled; and he joyfully remounted。 They rode bridle to bridle into the city。 When they reached the residence; again they exchanged profound salutations and pliments before they took their various places as host and guest。 And then a banquet was served。 But all throughout Liu Bei refrained from saying a word about the west。 He only chatted on general and mon things。
The visitor noted this steady avoidance and resolved to probe his hosts thoughts。
〃How many counties are there in Jingzhou; where you are now; O Imperial Uncle?〃
Zhuge Liang replied; 〃Jingzhou is only ours temporarily。 We have borrowed it from the South Land。 They are always sending messengers to demand its return。 However; now that our lord has married their daughter; his position is more secure。 But it is still temporary。〃
〃The South Land is large;〃 said Zhang Song; 〃yet their six territories and their eighty…one counties do not satisfy them。 The people are strong and the land is fruitful。〃
Said Pang Tong; 〃Our lord; being of the dynastic family; has never occupied a territory of the empire。 Those others; rebellious as they are; may indeed seize upon as much territory as they are strong enough to hold。 People of reasons do not approve such wrongs。〃
〃Noble Sirs; pray say no more。 What virtue have I that I should expect anything from the future?〃 said Liu Bei。
〃Not so; indeed;〃 said Zhang Song。 〃Illustrious Sir; you are of the linea
