hills wherefrom rolled the sound of beaten drums。 And men were shouting。 Soon appeared a large force with Zhu Ran at their head。

He came dashing forward; and summoned the small party; saying; 〃Guan Yu; do not run! Surrender and live!〃

But Guan Yu whipped his steed to a gallop and bore down on the leader with anger in his eyes。 Then Zhu Ran ran away。 Guan Yu followed him till there came the loud boom of a large drum; and out sprang troops from all sides。 Guan Yu dared not engage such a number; and fled in the direction of Linju。 Zhu Ran came up behind and attacked the flying soldiers; so that Guan Yus following gradually became smaller and smaller。

Still he struggled on。 A few miles farther the drums rolled again; and torches lit up all round。 This was Pan Zhangs ambush; and he appeared flourishing his sword。 Guan Yu whirled his blade and went to meet him; but Pan Zhang ran away after a couple of bouts。 However; Guan Yu saw they were too many for him; and sought refuge among the mountains。

His son followed; and when he got within speaking distance; Guan Ping gave him the mournful tidings: 〃Zhao Lei has fallen in the melee!〃

Guan Yu was very sad; and bade his son try to protect the rear while he should force his way forward。

With about ten men he reached Zhuxi; a place with mountains on both sides。 At their foot was a thick mass of reeds and dried grass。 The trees grew very close。 It was then the fifth watch。 Presently the small party stumbled into another ambush; and the ambushing soldiers thrust forth hooks and threw ropes。 Entangled in these; Guan Yus horse fell; and Guan Yu reeled out of the saddle。 In a moment Ma Zhong; the Marching General of Pan Zhang; made him a prisoner。 Guan Ping dashed to his rescue; but before he could do anything; he also was surrounded and held。 Father and son were both captives。

With great joy Sun Quan heard of the success of his plans。 In the morning; he assembled all his officers in his tent to await the arrival of the prisoners。 Before long; Ma Zhong came hustling his prisoner before his lord。

〃I have long had a friendly feeling for you;〃 said Sun Quan to Guan Yu; 〃on account of your great virtues。 Now I would have made a covenant and alliance with you; if you would。 You and your son have long held yourselves to be invincible; but you see you are my prisoners today。 Yet I hope to win you over to my side。〃

But Guan Yu only answered roughly; 〃You green…eyed boy! You purple…bearded rat! I made a covenant in the Peach Garden with my brothers to uphold the Hans。 Think you that I will stand side by side with a rebel such as you are? I am a victim of your vile schemes; but I can only die once。 And there is no need of many words。〃

〃He is a real hero; and I love him;〃 said Sun Quan to those standing near。 〃I will treat him well and endeavor to win him over。 Do you think it well?〃

Said the First Secretary Zuo Xian; 〃When Cao Cao had hold of this man; Cao Cao treated him lavishly well。 Cao Cao created him a marquis; in three…day interval Cao Cao held a small banquet; in five days a great one; Cao Cao gave him gold and presented him with silver; all this; hoping to retain him at his side。 But Cao Cao failed。 The man broke through his gates; slew his six generals in five passes and went away。 Today Cao Cao fears him; and almost moved the capital for dread of him。 Now he is in your power; destroy him; or you will rue the day。 Evil will e if you spare him。〃

Sun Quan reflected for some time。

〃You are right;〃 said he presently; and gave the order for execution。

So father and son met their fate together in the winter of the twenty…fourth year (AD 219) in the tenth month。 Guan Yu was fifty…eight。

A poem says:

Peerless indeed was our Lord Guan Yu; of the latter days;

Head and shoulders stood he out among the best;

Godlike and terrible in war; elegant and refined in peace;

Resplendent as the noonday sun in the heavens;

Haloed as are the noblest of those early days;

He stands; the brightest model for all ages;

And not only for the strenuous days he lived in。

And another:

Seek ye a noble one? Then take ye the way of Jieliang;

Watch ye how all people revere Guan Yu;

Each excelling others to honor him;

Him; one of the three brothers of the Peach Garden Oath;

Who have won sacrifices; as emperor and king。

Inparable their aura spreads through the world;

They are resplendent as the great lights of the firmament;

Temples to our Lord Guan Yu abound; no village lacks one;

Their venerable trees at sundown are the resting places for birds。

So Guan Yu ended his life。 His famous steed; Red Hare; also captured with its master; was sent to Sun Quan; who gave it as a reward to his captor; Ma Zhong。 But Red Hare survived its master only a short time。 It refused to feed; and soon died。

Foreboding of misfortune came to Wang Fu within the city of Maicheng。 His bones felt cold; and his flesh crept。
