“You are no antagonist for me,” said Tʻaishih. “Tell your master to come out.” This incensed Chʻêng, who rode at his opponent, and they two fought many bouts. The duel was stopped by the gongs of Liu Yu. “Why did you sound the retreat?” said Tʻaishih. “I was just going to capture the wretch.” “Because I have just heard that Chʻüa is threatened. Chou Yü is leading a force thither and a certain Chʻên Wu is in league with him to betray the city. The loss would be irremediable. I will hasten to Moling to get the help of Hsüeh Li and Chai Jung.” The army retired, Tʻaishih Tzŭ with it, without being pursued. On the other side Chang Chao said to Sun Tsʻê, “Chou Yü’s threatened attack is the cause of this move; they are in no mood to fight. A night raid on their camp would finish them.” The army was divided into five divisions for the night surprise and hastened toward the camp where they were victorious. Their opponents scattered in all directions. Tʻaishih alone made a determined stand and as he could not withstand a whole army he fled with a few followers to Chinghsien. Now Sun Tsʻê acquired a new adherent in the person of Chʻên Wu. He was a soldier of middle height, sallow of complexion and dark eye, an odd looking man. But Sun held him in high esteem, gave him rank and put him in the van for the attack on Hsüeh Li. As van-leader he and half a score horsemen made a dash into the enemy’s formation, where they slew half a hundred men. So Hsüeh Li would not fight but remained within his defences. As Sun was attacking the city a spy came in with the news that Liu Yu and Chai Jung had gone to attack Niuchu, which made Sun move thither in haste. His two opponents were ready for battle. “I am here,” said Sun Tsʻê, “you had better give in.” A horseman came out from behind the two leaders to accept the challenge. It was Yü Mi. But in the third bout Sun Tsʻê made him prisoner and carried him off to the other side. Seeing his colleague thus captured Fan Nêng rode out to the rescue and got quite close. But just as he was going to thrust, all the soldiers shouted “There is a man behind you going to strike secretly!” At this Sun Tsʻê turned and shouted so thunderously loud that Fan Nêng fell out of his saddle from mere fright. He split his skull and died. When Sun Tsʻê reached his standard he threw his prisoner to the ground. And he was also dead, crushed to death between the arm and the body of his captor. So in a few moments Sun Tsʻê had disposed of two enemies, one crushed to death and one frightened to death. Thereafter Sun Tsʻê was called the Little Prince. After Liu Yu’s defeat the greater portion of his force surrendered and the number of those put to death exceeded ten thousand. Liu Yu himself sought safety with Liu Piao.
