《刘皇叔北海救孔融，吕温侯濮阳破曹操 - Liu Bei Rescues Kong Rong At Beihai; Lu Bu Defeats Cao Cao Near Puyang》 |
| 21 | 刘皇叔北... : | 且说来使回徐州，入城见陶谦，呈上书札，言曹兵已退。谦大喜，差人请孔融，田楷，云长，子龙等赴城大会。饮宴既毕，谦延玄德于上座，拱手对众曰：“老夫年迈，二子不才，不堪国家重任。刘公乃帝室之胄，德广才高，可领徐州。老夫情愿乞闲养病。”玄德曰：“孔文举令备来救徐州，为义也；今无端据而有之，天下将以备为无义人矣。”糜竺曰：“今汉室陵迟，海宇颠覆，树功立业，正在此时。徐州殷富，户口百万，刘使君领此，不可辞也。”玄德曰：“此事决不敢应命。”陈登曰：“陶府君多病，不能视事，明公勿辞。”玄德曰：“袁公路四世三公，海内所归，近在寿春，何不以州让之？”孔融曰：“袁公路冢中枯骨，何足挂齿！今日之事，天与不取，悔不可追。” |
| Liu Bei Rescues Kong...: |
The news that the enemy had left was very gratifying to Tao Qian, who then invited his various defenders into Xuzhou City and prepared banquets and feasts in token of his gratitude. At one of these, when the feasting was over, he proceeded with his wish of retirement in favor of Liu Bei. Placing Liu Bei in the seat of highest honor, Tao Qian bowed before him and then addressed the assembly, "I am old and feeble, and my two sons lack the ability to hold so important an office as this. The noble Liu Bei is a descendant of the imperial house. He is of lofty virtue and great talent. Let him then take over the rule of this region, and only too willingly I shall retire to have leisure to nurse my health." Liu Bei replied, "I came at the request of Governor Kong Rong, because it was the right thing to do. Xuzhou is saved; but if I take it, surely the world will say I am a wicked man." Mi Zhu said, "You may not refuse. The House of Han is falling, their realm is crumbling, and now is the time for doughty deeds and signal services. This is a fertile region, well populated and rich, and you are the man to rule over it." "But I cannot accept," said Liu Bei. "Imperial Protector Tao Qian is a great sufferer," said Chen Deng, "and cannot see to matters. You may not decline, Sir." Said Liu Bei, "Yuan Shu belongs to a family of rulers, who have held the highest offices of state four times in three generations. The multitude people respects him. Why not invite him to this task?" "Because Yuan Shu is a drying skeleton in a dark tomb: Not worth talking about. This opportunity is a gift from Heaven, and you will never cease to regret its loss," said Kong Rong. |
