Chapter 021-03 호랑이굴을 벗어난 현덕 

6.一日，關、張不在，玄德正在後園澆菜，許褚、張遼引數十人入園中曰：「丞相有命，請使君便行。」玄德驚問曰：「有甚緊事？」許褚曰：「不知。只教我來相請。」玄德只得隨二人入府見操。操笑曰：「在家做得好大事！」諕得玄德面如土色。操執玄德手，直至後園曰：「玄德學圃不易。」玄德方纔放心，答曰：「無事消遣耳。」操曰：「適見枝頭梅子青青，忽感去年征張繡時，道上缺水，將士皆渴。吾心生一計，以鞭虛指曰：『前面有梅林。』軍士聞之，口皆生唾，由是不渴。今見此梅，不可不賞。又值煮酒正熟，故邀使君小亭一會。」玄德心神方定，隨至小亭，已設樽俎：盤置青梅，一樽煮酒。二人對坐，開懷暢飲。

7.酒至半酣，忽陰雲漠漠，驟雨將至。從人遙指天外龍挂，操與玄德欄觀之。操日：「使君知龍之變化否？」玄德曰：「未知其詳。」操曰：「龍能大能小，能升能隱；大則興雲吐霧，小則隱介藏形；升則飛騰於宇宙之間，隱則潛伏於波濤之內。方今春深，龍乘時變化，猶人得志而縱橫四海。龍之為物，可比世之英雄。玄德久歷四方，必知當世英雄。請試指言之。」

 One day when the two brothers were absent, and Liu Bei was busy in his garden, two generals of Cao Cao, Xu Chu and Zhang Liao, with an escort came from Cao Cao, saying, "The command of the Prime Minister is that you come at once."

 "What important affair is afoot?" asked Liu Bei nervously.

 "We know nothing. We were ordered to come and request your presence."

 All he could do was to follow.

 When Liu Bei arrived, Cao Cao met him and laughingly said, "That is a big business you have in hand at home."

 This remark made Liu Bei turn the color of clay. Cao Cao took him by the hand and led him straight to the private garden, saying, "The growth of vegetables that you are trying to learn is very difficult."

 Liu Bei breathed again. He said, "That is hardly a business. It is only a solace."

 Cao Cao said, "I happened to notice the green plums on the trees today, and suddenly my thoughts went back to a year ago when we were thrashing Zhang Xiu. We were marching through a parched county, and everyone was suffering from thirst. Suddenly I lifted my whip, and pointing at something in the distance I said, 'Look at those fruitful plum trees in the forest ahead.' The soldiers heard it, and it made their mouths water. Seeing the plums kindles my appreciation. I owe something to the plums, and we will repay it today. I ordered the servants to heat some wine very hot and sent to invite you to share it."

 Liu Bei was quite composed by this time and no longer suspected any sinister design. He went with his host to a small spring pavilion in a plum garden, where the wine cups were already laid out and green plums filled the dishes. They sat down to a confidential talk and free enjoyment of their wine.

 As they drank, the weather gradually changed, clouds gathering and threatening rain. The servants pointed out a mass of cloud that looked like a dragon hung in the sky. Both host and guest leaned over the balcony looking at it.

 "Do you understand the evolution of dragons?" asked Cao Cao of the guest.

 "Not in detail."

 "A dragon can assume any size, can rise in glory or hide from sight. Bulky, it generates clouds and evolves mist; attenuated, it can scarcely hide a mustard stalk or conceal a shadow. Mounting, it can soar to the empyrean; subsiding, it lurks in the uttermost depths of the ocean. This is the midspring season, and the dragon chooses this moment for its transformations like a person realizing his own desires and overrunning the world. The dragon among animals compares with the hero among people. You, General, have traveled all lakes and rivers. You must know who are the heroes of the present day, and I wish you would say who they are."
