hen　the　main　army　will　advance　to　the　camp's　front　for　a　double　attack。〃

As　evening　fell　these　two　moved　out　their　troops；　and　by　the　middle　of　the　second　watch　both　had　got　behind　the　camp　of　Wei。　Due　to　darkness；　Zhang　Pu；　Cao　Xiu's　general；　who　was　there　in　ambush；　did　not　recognize　that　the　troops　who　approached　him　were　enemies；　but　went　as　to　meet　friends　and　was　at　once　slain　by　the　blade　of　Zhu　Huan。　The　soldiers　of　Wei　then　fled；　and　Zhu　Huan　lit　his　signal　fires。

Quan　Zong；　marching　up；　came　across　the　northern　ambush　under　Xue　Qiao。　Quan　Zong　began　a　battle　at　once；　and　the　troops　of　Wei　were　soon　put　to　flight。　Both　the　armies　of　Wu　pursued；　and　confusion　reigned　in　Cao　Xiu's　camp；　troops　fighting　with　others　of　their　own　side　and　slaying　each　other。
