עמוד 6 - We three, Liu Pei, Kuan Yii and Chang Fei, though of different families, swear brotherhood, and promise mutual help to one end. We will rescue each other in difficulty, we will aid each other in danger. We swear to serve the state and save the people. We ask not the same day- of birth but we seek to die together.

עמוד 42 - Do riot despise me. I am no mere hireling, only I have not yet found the lord to serve." Said Ts'ao Ts'ao, "My ancestors enjoyed the bounty of the Hans and should I differ from a bird or a beast if I did not desire to repay them with gratitude? I have bowed the knee to Tung Cho that thereby I might find an opportunity against him, and so remove this evil from the State. I have failed for this time. Such is the will of heaven." "And where are you going?" "Home to my village. Thence I shall issue a...
עמוד 71 - ... sad news to Sun Ts'e. While he was seeking a way out he came across Lii Kung. He at once put his horse at full speed and engaged him. After a few bouts Lii went down under a spear thrust. The battle became general and continued till daylight broke, when each drew off his army. Liu Piao withdrew intq the city and when Sun Ts'e returned to the river he heard that his father had perished in the fight, and his body had been carried within the enemy's walls. He uttered a great cry and the army joined...
עמוד 5 - The sight of the notice saddened him and he sighed as he read it. Suddenly a rasping voice behind him cried, "Noble Sir, why sigh if you do nothing to help your country...
עמוד 5 - This was happy news for Yiian-te and the two betook themselves to the village inn to talk over the project. As they were drinking, a huge, tall fellow appeared pushing a hand-cart along the road. At the threshold he halted and entered the inn to rest awhile and he called for wine. "And be quick," added he "for I am in haste to get into the town and offer myself for the army.
עמוד 234 - The forces of four prefectures are moving out simultaneously. When this call reaches Chingchou you will see their forces co-operate with those of Chang Hsiu.
