　　Fresh from Thatched Cottage

　　Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times and finally succeeded in inviting Zhuge Liang to be his military adviser. Yet his sworn brothers， Guan Yu and Zhang Fei， did not take Zhuge seriously. Before long， Cao Cao dispatched an army of 100，000 to attack Liu Bei's headquarters at Xinye. Cao's troops were at the command of General Xiahou Chun. When Liu Bei turned to Zhuge Liang for advice， Zhuge said： “Ihave to borrow your majesty's sword of authority in that I am f/afraid that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei will not listen to me.” Liu lost no time in lending his sword of authority to Zhuge who then started to dispatch Liu's army for the defence.

　　Zhuge ordered Guan Yu to Lück and wait at Mount Yushan with 1，000 troops. Guan was not to attack the enemy but rather let them pass. He would charge at the enemy as soon as he saw fire break out in the enemy procession. Zhang Fei was ordered to Lürk and wait in the valley with another 1，000 troops. Zhang was to attack the town of Bowang as soon as he saw fire break out in the enemy procession. Guan Ping， adopted son of Guan Yu and General Liu Feng were ordered to each guide 500 troops to wait behind the slope of Bowang. They would set fire to the enemy procession as soon as the enemy arrived at the slope. Zhuge recalled Zhao Yun from Fancheng to be the vanguard of Liu's army. But Zhao was ordered not to defeat the advancing enemy but rather pretend to be defeated. Liu Bei was given 1，000 troops as the back up force.

　　Guan Yu was so curious that he asked： “We all go out to fight the battle. But what will you do?” Zhuge Liang answered smiling， “I will sit and wait here in town.” Zhang Fei burst into larghter and said： “We all go out to risk our lives while you enjoy your time carefree inside the town!” Zhuge said： “I have the sword of authority. Those who disobey my orders will be executed.” Guan and Zhang had nothing more to say， but they walked away sneeringly.

　　Since the generals carried out Zhuge Liang's orders to the letter， the enemy was routed Zhuge's first military advice truned out to be smart and farsighted. Guan Yu， Zhang Fei and other generals in the Liu camp soon came to respect the new military adviser.

　　初出茅廬

　　劉備三顧茅廬請(qǐng)出諸葛亮并拜為軍師。而關(guān)羽、張飛對(duì)此不以為然。沒(méi)過(guò)多久，曹操派大將夏侯?lèi)�領(lǐng)十萬(wàn)大軍打新野，劉備找諸葛亮商議，諸葛亮說(shuō)：“ 怕眾將不聽(tīng)我令，愿借主公印劍一用。”劉備忙將印劍交給諸葛亮。諸葛亮開(kāi)始集眾點(diǎn)將。命關(guān)羽帶一千人馬埋伏在豫山，放過(guò)敵人先頭部隊(duì)，看到起火，迅速出擊。張飛帶一千人馬埋伏在山谷里，待起火后，殺向博望城。關(guān)平、劉封帶五百人馬，在博望坡后面分兩路等候，敵軍一到，立刻放火。又把趙云從樊城調(diào)來(lái)當(dāng)先鋒，只許敗不許勝。劉備帶一千人馬作后援。關(guān)羽忍不住問(wèn)：“我們都去打仗，先生干什么?”諸葛亮說(shuō)：“我在城中坐等。”張飛大笑說(shuō)：“我們都去拼命，先生你好逍遙!”諸葛亮說(shuō)：“印劍在此，違令者斬!”關(guān)羽、張飛無(wú)話(huà)，冷笑著走了。在戰(zhàn)斗中，各將按諸葛亮吩咐行事，直殺得曹兵丟盔棄甲。諸葛亮初次用兵，神機(jī)妙算，大獲全勝。使關(guān)羽、張飛等佩服得五體投地。
