But when Cao Cao asked whether good or bad fortune was to be his; the soothsayer would not give a clear and full reply。

A poem says:

Guan Lu was a seer of old。

Stars to him their secrets told。

Mysteries; occult and dim;

Were as daylight unto him。

His so subtle intellect

Could the shade of death detect;

But the secrets of his skill

Died with him;………are secrets still。

Again Cao Cao asked him to divine concerning his rivals Wu and Shu。

Guan Lu said; 〃The south just lost a famous leader; and the west is encroaching on your territory。〃

Cao Caos doubts as to the accuracy of one of these events were soon set at rest; for a messenger came from Hefei to report: 〃Lu Su; the Supreme mander of the South Land; has died in Lukou。〃

Then Cao Cao sent hurriedly into Hanzhong; and the scout returned to report: 〃Zhang Fei and Ma Chao have taken the Xiabian Pass and are threatening Hanzhong。〃

Cao Cao was angry and inclined to march at once against the invaders。 But he consulted the great soothsayer; who advised him not to move。

〃Do not act in haste。 In the ing spring there will be a conflagration in Xuchang;〃 said Guan Lu。

Having been witness of the verification of Guan Lus words; Cao Cao was in no mood to neglect the warning。 He stayed on in his palace; but he sent Cao Hong with fifty thousand troops to assist in the defense of East River Land; while Xiahou Dun; with thirty thousand troops; went to Xuchang to keep careful watch and be ready against any surprises。 He placed High Minister Wang Bi in mand of the Imperial Guard。

Sima Yi warned Cao Cao against this Wang Bi; saying; 〃The man is given to wine; and slack。 He is not a fit person for such a post。〃

Cao Cao replied; 〃He is very fit。 He has followed me through all difficulties and dangers。 He is loyal and diligent; solid as stone or iron。〃

Wang Bi was appointed and led the guard into camp at the capital; outside the East Gate of the Imperial Palace。

Now there was a certain Geng Ji; a Luoyang man; who had long been employed in the Prime Ministers palace in a subordinate capacity and afterward had been promoted to a post of Minister。 He and Minister Wei Huang were close friends。

These two were greatly distressed at Cao Caos advance to princely rank; and more especially at his use of the imperial chariots。 In the early months of the twenty…third year (AD 218); Geng Ji and Wei Huang came to a secret exchange of views on Cao Caos conduct。

Geng Ji said; 〃The man is rebellious and wicked; every day behaving worse。 He intends to go farther; and how can we; as servants of the dynasty; help him in his wickedness?〃

'e' Jin Midi was a High Minister of Emperor Wu。 Jin Midis descendants had held high offices for several generations。 。。。。。

Wei Huang said; 〃I have a friend named Jin Yi; who also is a servant of Han and an enemy of Cao Caos。 He is a descendant of the old Great Minister Jin Midi*。 Beside; he is friendly with Wang Bi。 If we all tried our best; we ought to succeed。〃

〃But if he is friendly Wang Bi; he will not assist us!〃 said Geng Ji。

〃Let us go and sound him;〃 said Wei Huang。

So the two went to see Jin Yi; who received them in his private rooms。 There they talked。

Said Wei Huang; 〃O virtuous Jin Yi; we know you are on most friendly terms with mander Wang Bi; and so have e to beg a favor。〃
