ision；　Dongtu　Na　on　the　left；　and　Ahui　Nan　on　the　right。　Each　division　was　fifty　thousand　tribesmen。

When　the　scouts　made　out　that　the　Mang　armies　were　ing；　they　at　once　told　Zhuge　Liang；　who　called　Zhao　Yun　and　Wei　Yan　to　his　side；　but　gave　them　no　orders。

Next　he　sent　for　Wang　Ping　and　Ma　Zheng；　and　said　to　them；　〃I　cannot　send　Zhao　Yun　and　Wei　Yan　against　the　Mangs　because　they　do　not　know　the　country。　You　two　are　to　go；　one　against　each　wing；　and　the　two　veteran　warriors　shall　support　you。　Get　your　troops　ready　and　start　tomorrow　at　dawn。〃

Wang　Ping　and　Ma　Zheng　took　the　orders　and　went　out。

Then　Zhang　Yi　and　Zhang　Ni　were　given　orders：　〃You　two　are　to　march　against　the　center　army。　You　are　to　act　with　Wang　Ping　and　Ma　Zheng　tomorrow。　I　want　to　send　Zhao　Yun　and　Wei　Yan；　but　I　am　still　afraid　they　do　not　know　the　country　well。〃

Noticing　this；　Zhuge　Liang　said；　〃I　have　no　wish　to　pass　you　over；　you　two；　but　I　fear　that　if　you　get　too　deeply　into　the　country　and　should　fall　victims　to　the　Mangs；　it　will　have　an　ill　effect　on　the　others。〃

〃All　I　say　to　you　is　to　be　careful　how　you　do　anything；〃　replied　Zhuge　Liang。

The　two　soldiers　left　and　went　together　to　the　camp　of　Zhao　Yun。

Zhao　Yun　said；　〃We　are　greatly　ashamed　at　being　put　in　the　background　because　we　do　not　know　the　country。　We　cannot　bear　this。〃

〃Then　let　us　ride　out　and　survey；〃　said　his　colleague。　〃Let　us　capture　a　few　natives　and　make　them　show　us　the　road；　and　let　us　defeat　these　tribesmen。〃
