Three Kingdoms,Abridged edition(Couldnt find the 4 book set)

Attributed to Luo GuanZhong

Translated from the Chinese with an afterword by Moss Roberts.

The two forces stood opposed.Liu Xuande rode out,Lord Guan Yu to his left,Zhang Fei to his right.Raising his qhip,Zuande cried out,"Traitors to the Emperor,surrender now!" Enraged,Cheng Yuanzhi sent his Subordinate commander Deng Mao into the field. Zhang Fei sped out,leveled his eighteen -span serpent headed spear and jabbed his adversary through the chest.Seing Deng Maotumble dead from his horse,Yuanzhi cut toward Zhang Fei,slapping his mount and flourshing his blade. Lord Guan swung his mighty sword and,giving his horse free rein,rushed the foe. Cheng Yuanzhi gulped with fright and,before he could defend himself,was sliced in two with a stroke of Guans weapon.A poet of later times praised the two warriors:

Oh,what a day for gallantry unveiled!

One man proved his lance and one his blade.

In maiden trial their martial force was shown.

A thrice-torn land will see them gain Renown.

You turn :P
