　　Cao Cao Sings an Ode with Leveled Spear

　　This is a story from Kingdoms. After suppressing the separatist forces in the north and taking control of the court， Cao Cao led his 830，000-strong army to the north bank of the Yangtze River， aiming to destroy Sun Quan and Liu Bei who were on the other side of the river. It was the thirteenth year of Jian Ah， the fifteenth day of the eleventh month. The weather was clear and bright， the wind calm， the waves still. Cao Cao ordered a feast and entertainment for the commanders that evening. The moon was bright and the GREat River lay slack， like a belt of white silk unrolled. Aboard ship， all the attendants were in damask coats and embroidered jackets. Cao Cao spoke to the assembly： “We have raised this force to purge evil， dispel threats to the ruling family and to calm the empire. The Southland alone remains outside our sphere. Today I invite you to join me. When we have received the submission of the Southland and the empire is at peace， we shall share with you the enjoyments of wealth and glory.” The audience rose as one to give Cao Cao thanks. Cao Cao was gratified and offered wine to the river. Then he quaffed three full goblets and， leveling his spear， said to his commanders， “Here is the weapon that broke the Yellow Scarves， took Lu Bu， eliminated Yuan Shu， subdued Yuan Shao， penetrated beyond the northern frontier， and conquered the east as far as Liao dong. In the length and breadth of this land no man has withstood me. My ambitions have always been those of a man of action， a leader among men. And now the scene before us fills my soul with profound passion. I shall perform a song， and you must join me.” Cao Cao recited：

　　Here before us， wine and song!

　　For man does not live long.

　　…

　　It southbound circles thrice a tree，

　　That offers him no haven.

　　the mountaintop no beight eschews，

　　the sea eschews no deep.

　　And the Duke of Zhou spat out his meal，

　　An empire's trust to keep.

　　As Cao Cao finished， Liu Fu， an imperial inspector， pointed out ominous words in the ode. Cao Cao， already drunk at that time， pierced Liu Fu through with his spear， killing him. Lin Fu's words were proved later in the battle at Chibi， where Cao Cao almost lost his life.

　　橫槊賦詩(shī)

　　曹操平定了北方割據(jù)勢(shì)力，控制了朝政。他又親率八十三萬(wàn)大軍，直達(dá)長(zhǎng)江北岸，準(zhǔn)備渡江消滅孫權(quán)和劉備，進(jìn)而統(tǒng)一全中國(guó)。建安十三年(公元208 年)，冬十一月十五日，天氣晴朗，風(fēng)平浪靜，曹操下令：“今晚在大船上擺酒設(shè)樂(lè)，款待眾將。”到了晚上，天空的月亮非常明亮，長(zhǎng)江宛如橫飄的一條素帶。再看船上眾將，個(gè)個(gè)錦衣繡襖，好不威風(fēng)。曹操告訴眾將官：我自起兵以來(lái)，為國(guó)除害，掃平四海，使天下太平。現(xiàn)在只有南方我還沒(méi)得到，今天請(qǐng)你們來(lái)，為我統(tǒng)一中國(guó)同心協(xié)力，日后天下太平，我們共享榮華富貴。文武們都站起來(lái)道謝，曹操非常高興，先以酒奠長(zhǎng)江，隨后滿飲三大杯。并橫槊告訴眾將說(shuō)：我拿此槊破黃巾，擒呂布、滅袁術(shù)、收袁紹，深入塞北，直達(dá)遼東，縱橫天下，頗不負(fù)大丈夫之志，在這良辰美景，我作歌，你們跟著和。接著，他唱曰：“對(duì)酒當(dāng)歌，人生幾何…… 繞樹(shù)三匝，無(wú)樹(shù)可依，山不厭高，水不厭深，周公吐哺，天下歸心。”歌罷，刺史劉馥說(shuō)，此歌不祥。曹操乘醉，將他用槊刺死。果不出所料，曹操樂(lè)極生悲。赤壁一戰(zhàn)，險(xiǎn)些特了性命。
