e much murmuring。 Cao Cao sent Shi Huan to intercept and kill Kui Gu。
Then he called a counsel； saying； 〃Though Zhang Yang； who meant to hurt us； is happily no more； yet we are threatened on the north by Yuan Shao； and on the west Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu are a menace。 Here we meet with no success against the city of Xiapi。 We are for leaving Lu Bu to his fate and returning home。 What do you think？〃
Among them Xun You fought against the idea； saying； 〃You must not act like this。 Lu Bu has lost much； and his spirit is broken。 The spirit of the leader expresses that of his army； and when the leader fails； his soldiers do not fight。 Chen Gong is clever； but nothing is done。 Lu Bu broken； Chen Gong without decision； it only needs a sharp attack； and we shall succeed。〃
〃I have a plan to propose；〃 said Guo Jia； 〃a plan to overe the city at once。 It is better than two hundred thousand troops。〃
〃I suppose you mean drowning the city by River Si and River Yi；〃 said Xun Yu。
〃That is it；〃 said Guo Jia； smiling。
Cao Cao accepted the suggestion with joy and set his troops to cut the banks of River Yi and River Si； and moved his army to the high ground whence they watched the drowning out of Xiapi。 Only the east gate remained clear of water。
The besieged soldiers hastened to their leader。
Lu Bu said； 〃Why should I fear？ My good horse can go as well through the water as over the land。〃
And he again returned to the wine cup for consolation； drinking deeply with his wife and concubine。
The continual drinking bouts told at last； and Lu Bu began to look dissipated。 Seeing himself in a mirror one day； he was startled at the change and said to himself； 〃I am injuring myself with wine。 No more from this day forward！〃
