《曹操倉亭破本初，玄德荊州依劉表 - Cao Cao Overcomes Yuan Shao In Cangting; Liu Bei Seeks Shelter With Liu Biao In Jingzhou》 |
| 7 | 曹操倉亭... : | 袁紹躊躇未決。忽報袁熙引兵六萬，自幽州來，袁譚引兵五萬，自青州來，外甥高幹亦引兵五萬，自并州來，各至冀州助戰。紹喜，再整人馬，來戰曹操。時操引得勝之兵，陳列於河上，有土人簞食壺漿以迎之。操見父老數人，鬚髮盡白，乃命入帳中賜坐，問之曰：「老丈多少年紀？」答曰：「皆近百歲矣。」操曰：「吾軍士驚擾汝鄉，吾甚不安。」父老曰：「桓帝時，有黃星見於楚、宋之分，遼東人殷馗善觀天文，夜宿於此，對老漢等言：『黃星見於乾象，正照此間。後五十年，當有真人起於梁、沛之間。』今以年計之，整整五十年。袁本初重斂於民，民皆怨之。丞相興仁義之師，弔民伐罪，官渡一戰，破袁紹百萬之眾，正應當時殷馗之言，兆民可望太平矣。」操笑曰：「何敢當老丈所言？」遂取酒食絹帛賜老人而遣之。號令三軍：如有下鄉殺人家雞犬者，如殺人之罪。 |
| Cao Cao Overcomes Yuan...: |
Then the natural hesitation of Yuan Shao asserted itself, and he could not make up his mind. Soon came news that his sons Yuan Tan was coming from Qingzhou with sixty thousand troops, Yuan Xi coming from Youzhou with fifty thousand troops, and his nephew Gao Gan coming from Bingzhou with fifty thousand troops to help him, and he turned his attention to preparations for fighting Cao Cao. When Cao Cao drew up his victorious army on the banks of Yellow River, the aged natives brought an offering of food and sauce to bid him welcome. Their venerable and hoary appearances led Cao Cao to treat them with the highest respect. He invited them to be seated and said to them, "Venerable Sirs, what may be your age?" "We are nearly a hundred," replied the old villagers. "I should be very sorry if my army had disturbed your village," said Cao Cao. One of them said, "In the days of the Emperor Huan a yellow star was seen over by way of the ancient states of Chu and Song in the southwest. Yin Kui of Liaodong, who was learned in astrology, happened to be passing the night here, and he told us that the star foretold the arrival in these parts, fifty years hence, of a true and honest man here in the Yellow River. Lo! That is exactly fifty years ago. Now Yuan Shao is very hard on the people and they hate him. You, Sir, having raised this army in the cause of humanity and righteousness, out of pity for the people and to punish crimes, and having destroyed the hordes of Yuan Shao at Guandu, just fulfill the prophecy of Yin Kui. The millions of the land may look now for tranquillity." "How dare I presume that I am he?" said Cao Cao with a smile. Wine was served and refreshments brought in, and the old gentlemen were sent away with presents of silk stuffs. And an order was issued to the army that if anyone killed so much as a fowl or a dog belonging to the villagers, he should be punished as for murder. |
