Betrayed　a　former　lord；

Soon　after；　as　was　very　met。

Both　fell　beneath　the　sword。

The　death　of　these　two　naval　manders　caused　much　consternation　in　the　camp；　and　all　their　colleagues　asked　the　reason　for　their　sudden　execution。　Though　Cao　Cao　knew　they　had　been　victimized；　he　would　not　acknowledge　it。

So　he　said；　〃These　two　had　been　remiss；　and　so　had　been　put　to　death。〃

The　others　were　aghast；　but　nothing　could　be　done。　Two　other　officers；　Mao　Jie　and　Yu　Jin；　were　put　in　mand　of　the　naval　camp。

Spies　took　the　news　to　Zhou　Yu；　who　was　delighted　at　the　success　of　his　ruse。

〃Those　two　Cai　Mao　and　Zhang　Yun　were　my　only　source　of　anxiety；〃　said　he。　〃Now　they　are　gone：　I　am　quite　happy。〃

Lu　Su　said；　〃General；　if　you　can　continue　like　this；　you　need　not　fear　Cao　Cao。〃

〃I　do　not　think　any　of　them　saw　my　game；〃　said　Zhou　Yu；　〃except　Zhuge　Liang。　He　beats　me；　and　I　do　not　think　this　ruse　was　hidden　from　him。　You　go　and　sound　him。　See　if　he　knew。〃

Zhou　Yus　treacherous　plot　succeeded　well；

Dissension　sown；　his　rivals　fell。

Drunk　with　success　was　he；　but　sought

To　know　what　cynic　Zhuge　Liang　thought。

What　passed　between　Lu　Su　and　Zhuge　Liang　will　next　be　related。

Main　Next　to　Chapter　46　》》

Romance　of　Three　Kingdoms　…　by　Luo　Guanzhong　…　Chapter　46

Chapter　46

Using　Strategy；　Zhuge　Liang　Borrows　Arrows；

Joining　A　Ruse；　Huang　Gai　Accepts　Punishment。

Lu　Su　departed　on　his　mission　and　found　Zhuge　Liang　seated　in　his　little　craft。

〃There　has　been　so　much　to　do　that　I　have　not　been　able　to　e　to　listen　to　your　instructions；〃　said　Lu　Su。

〃That　is　truly　so；〃　said　Zhuge　Liang；　〃and　I　have　not　yet　congratulated　the　mander…in…Chief。〃

〃What　have　you　wished　to　congratulate　him　upon？〃

〃Why　Sir；　the　matter　upon　which　he　sent　you　to　find　out　whether　I　knew　about　it　or　not。　Indeed　I　can　congratulate　him　on　that。〃

Lu　Su　turned　pale　and　gasped；　saying；　〃But　how　did　you　know；　Master？〃

〃The　ruse　succeeded　well　thus　played　off　on　Jiang　Gan。　Cao　Cao　has　been　taken　in　this　once；　but　he　will　soon　rise　to　it。　Only　he　will　not　confess　his　mistake。　However；　the　two　men　are　gone；　and　the　South　Land　is　freed　from　a　grave　anxiety。　Do　you　not　think　that　is　a　matter　for　congratulation？　I　hear　Mao　Jie　and　Yu　Jin　are　the　new　admirals；　and　in　their　hands　lie　both　good　and　evil　for　the　fate　of　the　northern　fleet。〃

Lu　Su　was　quite　dumbfounded。　He　stayed　a　little　time　longer　passing　the　time　in　making　empty　remarks；　and　then　took　his　leave。

As　he　was　going　away；　Zhuge　Liang　cautioned　him；　saying；　〃Do　not　let　Zhou　Yu　know　that　I　know　his　ruse。　If　you　let　him　know；　he　will　seek　some　chance　to　do　me　harm。〃

Lu　Su　promised。　Nevertheless　he　went　straight　to　his　chief　and　related　the　whole　thing　just　as　it　happened。

〃Really　he　must　be　got　rid　of；〃　said　Zhou　Yu。　〃I　have　quite　decided　to　put　the　man　out　of　the　way。〃

〃If　you　slay　him；　will　not　Cao　Cao　laugh　at　you？〃

〃Oh；　no；　I　will　find　a　legitimate　way　of　getting　rid　of　him　so　that　he　shall　go　to　his　death　without　resentment。〃

〃But　how　can　you　find　a　legitimate　way　of　assassinating　him？〃
