“Lu Su can’t have seen Sun Quan in so short a time, ” Kongming said. “He probably went to Chaisang, and he and Zhou Yu have worked some trick to lure us.

孔明曰："鲁肃必不曾见吴侯，只到柴桑和周瑜商量了甚计策，来诱我耳。

Sun Quan sent a messenger to Zhou Yu in Chaisang with the news: "my sister and Liu Bei are married-at my mother's insistence!" It never occurred to me that our ruse would turn into a reality.

却说孙权差人来柴桑郡报周瑜，说：“我母亲力主，已将吾妹嫁刘备。”

At the meeting Xun you said, "Now that Zhou Yu is dead, you should first take Sun Quan and next attack Liu Bei."

荀攸进曰：“周瑜新死，可先取孙权，次攻刘备。”
