g　He　and　Dai　Ling；　having　but　few　troops　left；　sought　refuge　among　the　hills。　The　victory　was　to　Shu；　and　Guan　Xing　came　up　helping　in　the　rout　wherever　there　appeared　a　chance　to　strike。

Sima　Yi；　defeated；　hurried　to　the　camp。　But　when　he　reached　it；　the　army　of　Shu　had　already　left。　He　gathered　in　his　broken　army　and　abused　his　generals　as　the　cause　of　his　failure。

〃You　are　all　ignorant　of　the　proper　way　to　wage　war；　and　think　it　simply　a　matter　of　valor　and　rude　strength。　This　is　the　result　of　your　unbridled　desire　to　go　out　and　give　battle。　For　the　future　no　one　of　you　will　move　without　definite　orders；　and　I　will　apply　strict　military　law　to　any　who　disobey。〃

They　were　all　greatly　ashamed　and　retired　to　their　quarters。　In　this　fight　the　losses　of　Wei　were　very　heavy；　not　only　in　soldiers；　but　in　horses　and　weapons。

A　later　poet　sang：

Fierce　and　valiant　was　Zhang　Bao；

Striving　hard　to　make　a　name；

Sad　the　gods　should　interfere

And　withhold　a　hero's　fame！

Zhuge　Liang　wept　his　end

In　the　western　winds　blowing。

For　he　knew　the　warrior　gone；

This　grieving　is　beyond　knowing。

Zhuge　Liang's　illness　continued。　Ten　days　later　he　summoned　to　his　tent　Dong　Jue　and　Fan　Jian；　and　said；　〃I　feel　void　and　am　too　ill　to　carry　on；　and　the　best　thing　for　me　is　to　return　into　Hanzhong　and　get　well。　You
