st garb; turban; feather fan; white robe of Taoist cut bound with a black girdle。 The countenance of the figure was as refined as jade; the lips a deep red and the eyes clear。 The figure moved with the calm serenity of a god。

〃Who are you; Sir?〃 asked Zhong Hui; rising。

〃Out of gratitude for your kindly visit this morning; I would make a munication。 Though the Hans have declined and the mandate of the Eternal cannot be disobeyed; yet the people of the west; exposed to the inevitable miseries of war; are to be pitied。 After you have passed the frontier; do not slay ruthlessly。〃

Then the figure disappeared with a flick of the sleeves of its robe; nor would it stay to answer any questions。

Zhong Hui awoke and knew that he had been dreaming; but he felt that the spirit of Zhuge Liang the Martial Lord had visited him; and he was astonished。

He issued an order that the leading division of his army should bear a white flag with six words plainly written thereon; Secure the state; fort the people ; so that all might know that no violence was to be feared。 If anyone was slain wantonly; then the offender should pay with his own life。 This tender care was greatly appreciated; so that the invaders were weled in every step。 Zhong Hui soothed the people; and they suffered no injury。

Those phantom armies circling in the gleam

Moved Zhong Hui to sacrifice at Zhuge Liangs tomb;

For the Lius had Zhuge Liang wrought unto the end;

Though dead; he would the Han people still defend。

Jiang Wei at Tazhong heard of the invasion and wrote to his three generals………Zhang Yi; Liao Hua; and Dong Jue………to march against the enemy; while he prepared to repulse them if they came to his station。

Soon they came; and he went out to encounter them。 Their leader was Wang Qi; Governor of Tianshui。

When near enough; Wang Qi shouted; 〃Our forces are numbered by millions; our generals by thousands。 Two hundred thousand are marching against you; and Chengdu has already fallen。 In spite of this you do not yield; wherefore it is evident you do not recognize the divine mand!〃

Jiang Wei cut short this tirade by galloping out with his spear set。 Wang Qi stood three bouts and then fled。 Jiang Wei pursued; but seven miles away he met a cohort drawn up across the road。 On the banner he read Qian Hong; Governor of Longxi 。

〃Dead rat! No match for me;〃 said Jiang Wei; smiling。

Despising this antagonist; he led his army straight on; and the enemy fell back。 He drove them before him for three more miles; and then came upon Deng Ai。 A battle at once began; and the lust of battle held out in the breast of Jiang Wei for a score of bouts。 But neither could overbear the other。 Then in the Shu rear arose the clang of gongs and other signs of ing foes。

Jiang Wei retired the way he had e; and presently one came to report: 〃The Governor of Jincheng; Yang Xin; has destroyed the camps at Gansong。〃

This was evil tidings。 He bade his generals keep his own standard flying and hold Deng Ai while he went to try to recover the camps。 On the way he met Yang Xin; but Yang Xin had no stomach for a fight with Jiang Wei and made for the hills。 Jiang Wei followed till he came to a precipice down which the enemy were hurling boulders and logs of wood so that he could not pass。

Jiang Wei turned to go back to the battlefield he had just left; but on the way he met the defeated Shu army; for Deng Ai had crushed his generals。 Jiang Wei joined them but was surrounded by the Wei forces。 Presently he got clear with a sudden rush and hastened to the great camp。

Next came the news: 〃Zhong Hui has defeated the Yangping Pass; Jiang Shu has surrendered; while Fu Qian has fallen in the field。 Hanzhong is now in the possession of Wei。 Wang Han of Yuecheng and Jiang Bin of Hancheng has also opened their gates and yielded to the invaders at the loss of Hanzhong。 Hu Ji has gone to Chengdu for help。〃

This greatly troubled Jiang Wei; so he broke camp and set out for Hanzhong。 That night the Shu army reached the Frontier River Pass。 An army under Yang Xin barred his way; and again Jiang Wei was forced to fight。 He rode out in a great rage; and as Yang Xin fled; he shot at him thrice; but his arrows missed。

Throwing aside his bow; he gripped his spear and set off in pursuit; but his horse tripped and fell; and Jiang Wei lay on the ground。 Yang Xin turned to slay his enemy now that he was on foot; but Jiang Wei thrust Yang Xins horse in the head。 Other Wei troops came up rescued Yang Xin。

Mounting another steed of his follower; Jiang Wei was just setting out again in pursuit when they reported that Deng Ai was ing against his rear。 Realizing that he could not cope with this new force; Jiang Wei collected his troops in order to retreat into Hanzhong。

However; the scouts reported: 〃Zhuge Xu; Imperial Protector of Yongzhou; is holding Yinping Bridge; our retreat path。〃

So Jiang Wei halted and made a camp in the mountains。 Advance and retreat seemed equally impossible。

He cried in anguish; 〃Heaven is destroying me!〃

Then said Ning Sui; one of his generals; 〃If our enemies are blocking Yinping Bridge; they can only have left a weak force in Yongzhou。 We can make believe to be going thither through the Konghan Valley and so force them to abandon the bridge in order to protect the city。 When the bridge is clear; you can make a dash for Saber Pass and plan for a recapture of Hanzhong。〃

This plan seemed to promise success; so Jiang Wei ordered them to march into the Konghan Valley; making as though they would go to Yongzhou。

When Zhuge Xu; who was at the Yinping Bridge; heard this; he said in great shock; 〃Yongzhou is my own city; and headquarters of the expedition。 If it would be lost; I would be punished!〃

So Zhuge Xu set off to its relief by the south road。 He left only a small force at the bridge。

Jiang Wei marched along the north road for ten miles till he guessed that Zhuge Xu had abandoned the bridge; when he reversed his course; making the rearguard the van。 He dispersed the small force left at the bridge head and burned their camp。 Zhuge Xu; as he marched; saw the flames; and he turned back to the bridge; but he arrived too late。 The army of Shu had already crossed; and he dared not pursue。

Soon after Jiang Wei crossed the bridge; he saw another force; but this was led by his own generals; Liao Hua and Zhang Yi。

They told him; 〃The Latter Ruler; firm in his faith in a wise woman; would not send help to defend the frontiers。 We heard Hanzhong was threatened; and thus marched there to its rescue; but then Zhong Hui had taken the Yangping Pass。 We also heard you were surrounded here; so we came to your help。〃

The two armies amalgamated and marched together。
