Now Cao Zhen still remembered bitterly that in the last campaign Sima Yi had filched from him the credit he hoped to obtain。 So when he received the mission of defending the capitals against the invading forces; he detached Guo Huai and Sun Li and sent them to hold positions east and west。 Then he had heard that Chencang was threatened; so had sent Wang Shuang to its relief; and now to his joy he heard of his henchmans success。 He placed Grand mander Fei Yao in mand of the van and stationed other generals at strategic and manding points。
Then they caught a spy。 He was taken into the presence of the mander…in…Chief to be questioned。
The man knelt down and said; 〃I am not really a spy in the bad sense。 I was bringing a secret munication for you; Sir; but I was captured by one of the parties in ambush。 Pray send away your attendants。〃
The mans bonds were loosed and the tent cleared。
The captive said; 〃I am a confidant of Jiang Wei; who has entrusted me with a secret letter。〃
〃Where is the letter?〃
The man took it from among his garments and presented it to Cao Zhen; who read:
〃I; Jiang Wei; your guilty general; make a hundred prostrations to the great leader Cao Zhen; now in the field。 I have never forgotten that I was in the employment of Wei and disgraced myself; having enjoyed favors; I never repaid them。 Lately I have been an unhappy victim of Zhuge Liangs wiles and so fell into the depths。 But I never forgot my old allegiance。 How could I forget?
〃Now happily the army of Shu has gone west; and Zhuge Liang trusts me。 I rely upon your leading an army this way。 If resistance be met; then you may simulate defeat and retire; but I shall be behind and will make a blaze as signal。 Then I shall set fire to their stores; whereupon you will face about and attack。 Zhuge Liang ought to fall into your hands。 If it be that I cannot render service and repay my debt to the state; then punish me for my former crime。
〃If this should be deemed worthy of your attention; then without delay municate your mands。〃
The letter pleased Cao Zhen; and he said; 〃This is heaven…sent help to aid me in an achievement。〃
Cao Zhen rewarded the messenger and bade him return to say that it was accepted。
Then he called Fei Yao to his councils and said; 〃I have just had a secret letter from Jiang Wei telling me to act in a certain fashion。〃
But Fei Yao replied; 〃Zhuge Liang is very crafty; and Jiang Wei is very knowing。 If by chance Zhuge Liang has planned all this and sent this man; we may fall into a snare。〃
〃But Jiang Wei is really a man of Wei。 He was forced into surrender。 Why are you suspicious?〃
〃My advice is not to go; but to remain here on guard。 Let me go to meet this man; and any service I can acplish will redound to your credit。 And if there be any craft; I can meet it for you。〃
Cao Zhen approved this and bade Fei Yao take fifty thousand troops by way of the Xie Valley。
Fei Yao marched away and halted after the second or third stage and send out scouts。 This was done; and the scouts reported that the Shu army was ing through the valley。 Fei Yao at once advanced; but before the troops of Shu got into contact with him; they retired。 Fei Yao pursued。 Then the troops of Shu came on again。 Just as Fei Yao was forming up for battle; the Shu army retreated again。 And these maneuvers were repeated thrice; and a day and a night passed without any repose for the Wei army。
At length rest was imperative; and they were on the point of entrenching themselves to prepare food when a great hubbub arose all around; and with beating of drums and blaring of trumpets; the whole country was filled with the soldiers of Shu。 Suddenly there was a stir near by the great standard; and out came a small four…wheeled chariot in which sat Zhuge Liang。 He bade a herald call the leader of the Wei army to a parley。
Fei Yao rode out and; seeing Zhuge Liang; he secretly rejoiced。
Turning to those about him; Fei Yao said; 〃If the soldiers of Shu e on; you are to retire and look out for a signal。 If you see a blaze; you are to turn and attack; for you will be reinforced by Jiang Wei。〃
Then Fei Yao rode to the front and shouted; 〃You rebel leader in front there。 How dare you e here again after the last defeat?〃
Zhuge Liang replied; 〃Go and call Cao Zhen to a parley。〃
〃My chief; Cao Zhen; is of the royal stock。 Think you that he will e to parley with rebels?〃
Zhuge Liang angrily waved his fan; and there came forth Ma Dai and Zhang Ni and their troops with a rush。 The Wei army retired。 But ere they had gone far; they saw a blaze in the rear of the advancing host of Shu and heard a great shouting。 Fei Yao could only conclude that this was the signal of Jiang Wei he was looking for; and so he faced about to attack。
But the enemy also turned about and retired。 Fei Yao led the pursuit; sword in hand; hastening to the point whence the shouting came。 Nearing the signal fire; the drums beat louder than ever; and then out came two armies; one under Guan Xing and the other under Zhang Bao; while arrows and stones rained from the hill…tops。 The Wei troops could not stand it and knew not only they were beaten; but beaten by a ruse。 Fei Yao tried to withdraw his force into the shelter of the valley to rest; but the enemy pressed on him; and the army of Wei fell into confusion。 Pressing upon each other; many fell into the streams and were drowned。
Fei Yao could do nothing but flee for his life。 Just as he was passing by a steep hill there appeared a cohort; and the leader was Jiang Wei。
Fei Yao began to upbraid him; crying; 〃Faithless ingrate! I have haplessly fallen in your treachery and craftiness!〃
Jiang Wei replied; 〃You are the wrong victim。 We meant to capture Cao Zhen not you。 You would do well to yield!〃
But Fei Yao only galloped away toward a ravine。 Suddenly the ravine filled with flame。 Then he lost all hope。 The pursuers were close behind; so Fei Yao with a sword put an end to his own life。
Of the army of Wei many surrendered。 The Shu army pressed home their advantage and; hastening forward; reached Qishan and made a camp。 There the army was mustered and put in order。
Jiang Wei received a reward; but he was chagrined that Cao Zhen had not been taken。
