So the necessary arms were prepared and orders given in the various camps。

 This done Zhang Xiu gave a banquet; and the intended victim was invited and plied vigorously with wine so that he was quite intoxicated when he left。

 And; as arranged; Hu Juer mingled with his escort and made away with his weapons。

That night; when Cao Cao was at supper with Lady Zhou; he heard the voices of men and neighing of horses and sent out to ask what it meant。

 They told him it was the night patrol going the rounds; and he was satisfied。

Near the second watch of the night again was heard some noise in the rear of his tent; and one of the fodder carts was reported to be burning。

〃One of the soldiers has dropped a spark; there is nothing to be alarmed at;〃 said Cao Cao。

But very soon the fire spread on all sides and became alarming。

 Cao Cao called Dian Wei。

 But he; usually so alert; was lying down quite intoxicated。

However; the beating of gongs and rolling of drums mingling with his dreams awoke Dian Wei; and he jumped up。

 His trusty halberds had disappeared。

 The enemy was near。

 He hastily snatched up an infantrymans sword and rushed out。

 At the gate he saw a crowd of spearmen just bursting in。

 Dian Wei rushed at them slashing all around him; and twenty or more fell beneath his blows。

 The others drew back。

 But the spears stood around him like reeds on the river bank。

 Being totally without mail; he was soon wounded in several places。

 He fought desperately till his sword snapped and was no longer of any use。

 Throwing it aside he seized a couple of soldiers and with their bodies as weapons felled ten of his opponents。

 The others dared not approach; but they shot arrows at him。

 These fell thick as rain; but he still maintained the gate against the assailants。

However; the mutineers got in by the rear of the camp; and they wounded Dian Wei in the back with spear thrusts。

 Uttering a loud cry he fell。

 The blood gushed from the wound in torrents; and he died。

 Even after he was dead not a man dared to e in by the main gate。

Cao Cao; relying on Dian Wei to hold the main gate; had fled in haste by the rear gate。

 Cao Amin acpanied him on foot。

 Then Cao Cao was wounded by an arrow in the arm; and three arrows struck his horse。

 However; fortunately; the horse was a fine Dawan beast full of spirit and; in spite of its wounds; it bore its master swiftly and well as far as the bank of River Yu。

Here some of the pursuers came up; and Cao Amin was hacked to pieces。

 Cao Cao dashed into the river and reached the further side; but there an arrow struck his steed in the eye and it fell。

 Cao Caos eldest son; Cao Ang; dismounted and yielded his horse to his father; who galloped on。

 Cao Ang was killed by arrows; but Cao Cao himself got away。

 Soon after he met several of his officers who had rallied a few troops。

The soldiers of Qingzhou under Xiahou Dun seized the occasion to plunder the people。

 Yu Jin took his army; fell upon them; and slew many。

 Thus he protected and appeased the people。

 The plunderers; meeting Cao Cao on the road; knelt down howling and said Yu Jin had mutinied and attacked them。
