Song-Ming -> Romance of the Three Kingdoms -> Behind The Screen, Lady Cai Overhears A Secret; Across The Tan Torrent, The Dilu Horse Carries Its Master -> 24

玄德西玄德西玄德:「!」玄德玄德:「!」西As has been said Liu Bei burst out at the west gate. Before he had gone far, there rolled before him a river barring the way. It was the Tan Torrent, many score spans in width, which pours its waters into the River Xiang. Its current was very swift. Liu Bei reached the bank and saw the river was unfordable. So he turned his horse and rode back. Then, not far off, he saw a cloud of dust and knew that his pursuers were therein. He thought that it was all over. However, he turned again toward the swift river, and seeing the soldiers now quite near, plunged into the stream. A few paces, and he felt the horse's fore legs floundering in front, while the water rose over the skirt of his robe. Then he plied the whip furiously, crying, "Dilu, Dilu, why betray me?" Whereupon the good steed suddenly reared up out of the water and, with one tremendous leap, was on the western bank.
