Song-Ming -> Romance of the Three Kingdoms -> Kan Ze Presents A Treacherous Letter; Pang Tong Suggests Chaining The Ships -> 4

曹操:“黄盖!”便阚泽:“?”:“。”:“?”:“便!”:“!”:“?”:“?”Leaning there on the low table by his side, Cao Cao turned this letter over and over and read it again and again. Then he smacked the table, opened his eyes wide with anger, saying, "Huang Gai is trying to play the personal injury trick on me, is he? And you are in it as the intermediary to present the letter. How dare you come to sport with me?" Cao Cao ordered the lictors to thrust forth the messenger and take off his head. Kan Ze was hustled out, his face untroubled. On the contrary, he laughed aloud. At this Cao Cao told them to bring him back and harshly said to him, "What do you find to laugh at now that I have foiled you and your ruse has failed?" "I was not laughing at you. I was laughing at my friend's simplicity." "What do you mean by his simplicity?" "If you want to slay, slay. Do not trouble me with a multitude of questions." "I have read all the books on the art of war, and I am well versed in all ways of misleading the enemy. This ruse of yours might have succeeded with many, but it will not do for me." "And so you say that the letter is a vicious trick?" said Kan Ze. "What I say is that your little slip has sent you to the death you risked. If the thing was real and you were sincere, why does not the letter name a time of coming over? What have you to say to that?"
