阚泽密献诈书,庞统巧授连环计 - Kan Ze Presents A Treacherous Letter; Pang Tong Suggests Chaining The Ships

3 阚泽密献... :
操曰:“吾与东吴旦夕交兵,汝私行到此,如何不问?”泽曰:“黄公覆乃东吴三世旧臣,今被周瑜于众将之前,无端毒打,不胜忿恨。因欲投降丞相,为报仇之计,特谋之于我。我与公覆,情同骨肉,迳来为献密书。未知丞相肯容纳否?”操曰:“书在何处?”阚泽取书呈上。操拆书,就灯下观看。书略曰:“盖受孙氏厚恩,本不当怀二心。然以今日事势论之:用江东六邵之卒,当中国百万之师,众寡不敌,海内所共见也。东吴将吏,无论智愚,皆知其不可。周瑜小子,偏怀浅戆,自负其能,辄欲以卵敌石;兼之擅作威福,无罪受刑,有功不赏。盖系旧臣,无端为所摧辱,心实恨之!伏闻丞相,诚心待物,虚怀纳士,盖愿率众归降,以图建功雪耻。粮草车仗,随船献纳。泣血拜白,万勿见疑。”
Kan Ze Presents A...:
"You know I am fighting against East Wu, and you come here privately. Why should I not question you?"
"Huang Gai is an old servant of Wu, one who has served three successive rulers. Now he has been cruelly beaten, for no fault, before the face of all the officers in Zhou Yu's camp. He is grievously angry about this and wishes to desert to your side that he may be revenged. He discussed it with me, and as we are inseparable, I have come to give you his letter asking whether you would receive him."
"Where is the letter? said Cao Cao.
The missive was produced and presented.
Cao Cao opened it and read:
"I, Huang Gai, have been generously treated by the Sun family and have served them single-heartedly. Lately they have been discussing an attack with our forces on the enormous army of the central government. Everyone knows our few are no match for such a multitude, and every officer of the South Land, wise or foolish, recognizes that quite well. However, Zhou Yu who, after all, is but a youth and a shallow minded simpleton, maintains that success is possible and rashly desires to smash stones with an egg. Beside, he is arbitrary and tyrannical, punishing for no crime, and leaving meritorious service unrewarded. I am an old servant and for no reason have been shamed in the sight of people. Wherefore I hate him in my heart.
"You, O Prime Minister, treat people with sincerity and are ready to welcome ability and so I, and those under my leadership, desire to enter your service whereby to acquire reputation and remove the shameful stigma. The commissariat, weapons, and the supply ships that I am commanding will also come over to you. In perfect sincerity I state these matters. I pray you not to doubt me."
