not　be　too　shamed　to　look　any　human　in　the　face？〃

Ma　Chao　bowed　his　head；　saying；　〃You　speak　well；　Sir。　But　I　am　helpless。〃

〃Now　that　you　listen　to　me；　I　would　ask　why　those　fearsome　ruffians　are　in　hiding　by　your　tent？〃　continued　Li　Hui。

Ma　Chao；　suddenly　stricken　with　shame；　ordered　them　to　retire。　Li　Hui　continued　his　speech。

〃Liu　Bei；　the　Imperial　Uncle；　is　considerate　to　his　subordinates；　and　I　am　certain　he　will　succeed；　and　so　I　have　forsaken　Liu　Zhang　to　cleave　to　him。　Your　honored　father　joined　him　in　destroying　rebels。　Why　do　you　not　flee　from　darkness　into　the　light？　Thereby　you　would　avenge　your　father　and　bee　famous。〃

Ma　Chao；　convinced　of　the　wisdom　of　the　course　thus　remended；　proved　his　conversion　by　sending　for　Yang　Bo　and　slaying　him　forthwith。　Taking　with　him　the　head　of　his　victim；　Ma　Chao　acpanied　Li　Hui　to　the　Pass　and　tendered　his　submission。　Liu　Bei　weled　him　warmly　and　treated　him　as　a　highly　honored　guest。

Ma　Chao　bowed　his　head；　saying；　〃Meeting　you；　O　Illustrious　Lord；　is　like　seeing　the　clear　sky　when　the　clouds　have　been　swept　aside。〃

When　Sun　Qian　returned　from　Yang　Song's　place；　Liu　Bei　detached　a　force　to　go　to　the　capture　of　Chengdu；　left　two　generals；　Meng　Da　and　Huo　Jun　to　guard　Jiameng　Pass；　and　made　a　triumphant　entry　into　Mianzhu　with　the　wele　of　Zhao　Yun　and　Huang　Zhong。

Two　generals　of　West　River　Land；　Ma　Han　and　Liu　Jun；　came　to　oppose　Liu　Bei；　but　Zhao　Yun　went　out　against　them　while　Liu　Bei　was　entertaining　Ma　Chao　at　a　banquet　on　the　city　wall。　Ere　it　had　concluded；　Zhao　Yun　slew　both　the　generals　and　brought　their　heads　to　the　banquet　chamber。　This　exploit　put　Ma　Chao　on　his　mettle　and　doubled　his　respect　for　the　conquerors。

〃Let　not　my　lord　attack；〃　said　Ma　Cha
