Jiang Wei was disposed to stand; but Liao Hua said; 〃This country of White Water is laced with by…roads and is too narrow and difficult to fight in with any hope of success。 It would be better to retreat to the Saber Pass。 If we loss that pass; all paths will be closed to us。〃
At last Jiang Wei consented; and the march began。 But as they neared the pass; they heard drums rolling and saw flags fluttering; which told them that the pass was held。
Hanzhong; that strong defense; is lost;
And storm clouds gather round Saber Pass。
What force was at the pass will be told in the next chapter。

When Dong Jue; General Who Upholds the State; heard of the invasion of Wei in ten divisions; he brought to the frontier twenty thousand troops to Saber Pass。 And when the dust showed an approaching army; Dong Jue thought it wise to go to the Pass lest the ing armies should be enemies to be stopped。
But Dong Jue found that the newers were Jiang Wei; Liao Hua; and Zhang Yi。 He let them pass through。 Then he gave them the news from the capital; bad news of the deeds of both the Latter Ruler and Huang Hao。 His tears fell as he told the tales。
〃But do not grieve;〃 said Jiang Wei。 〃So long as I live; I will not allow Wei to e and conquer Shu。 Now we must defend this pass; and then evolve a strategy。〃
They kept good guard at Saber Pass; while they discussed future plans。
〃Though we are holding this pass; yet Chengdu is well…nigh empty of soldiers;〃 said Dong Jue。 〃If it was attacked; it would go crack!〃
