Must leave him; with saddened heart;
For each to the other had grown very dear;
Both wept when it came to part。
But the parting guest then mentioned a name
That echoed both loud and deep;
Like a thunder clap in a spring…time sky;
And there wakened a dragon from sleep。
Thus was Zhuge Liang remended to Liu Bei; and Xu Shu rode away。
Now Liu Bei understood the speech of the hermit Water Mirror; and he woke as one from a drunken sleep。 At the head of his officers; he retook the road to the city and having prepared rich gifts set out; with his brothers; for Nanyang。
Under the influence of his emotions at parting; Xu Shu had mentioned the name and betrayed the retreat of his friend。 Now he thought of the possibility that Zhuge Liang would be unwilling to play the part of helper in Liu Beis scheme; so Xu Shu determined to go to visit him。 He therefore took his way to Sleeping Dragon Ridge and dismounted at the cottage。
Asked why he had e; Xu Shu replied; 〃I wished to serve Liu Bei of Yuzhou; but my mother has been imprisoned by Cao Cao; and has sent to call me。 Therefore I have had to leave him。 At the moment of parting I mended you to him。 You may expect him speedily and I hope; Sir; you will not refuse your aid but will consent to use your great talents to help him。〃
Zhuge Liang showed annoyance and said; 〃And so you have made me a victim of the worlds sacrifice。〃
So saying; Zhuge Liang shook out his sleeves and left the room。 The guest shamefacedly retired; mounted his horse; and hastened on his way to the capital to see his mother。
To help the lord he loved right well;
He summoned the aid of another
When he took the distant homeward way
At the call of a loving mother。
What was the sequel will appear in the following chapters。

Romance of Three Kingdoms … by Luo Guanzhong … Chapter 37
Chapter 37
Sima Hui Remends A Scholar To Liu Bei;
Liu Bei Pays Three Visits To The Sleeping Dragon Ridge。
As has been said Xu Shu hastened to the capital。 When Cao Cao knew Xu Shu had arrived; he sent two of his confidants; Xun Yu and Cheng Yu to receive the newer at the city gate; and so Xu Shu was led first to the Prime Ministers palace。
〃Why did such an illustrious scholar as you bow the knee to Liu Bei?〃 said Cao Cao。
〃I am young; and I fled to avoid the results of certain escapades。 I spent some time as a wanderer and so came to Xinye where I became good friends with him。 But my mother is here; and when I thought of all her affection; I could no longer remain absent。〃
〃Now you will be able to take care of your mother at all times。 And I may have the privilege of receiving your instructions。〃
Xu Shu then took his leave and hastened to his mothers dwelling。 Weeping with emotion; he made his obeisance to her at the door of her room。
But she was greatly surprised to see him and said; 〃What have you e here for?〃
〃I was at Xinye; in the service of Liu Bei of Yuzhou; when I received your letter。 I came immediately。〃
His mother suddenly grew very angry。
Striking the table she cried; 〃You shameful and degenerate son! For years you have been a vagabond in spite of all my teaching。 You are a student and know the books。 You must then know that loyalty and filial piety are often opposed。 Did you not recognize in Cao Cao a traitor; a man who flouts his king and insults the mighty ones? Did you not see that Liu Bei was virtuous and upright as all the world knows? Moreover; he is of the House of Han; and when you were with him you were serving a fitting master。 Now on the strength of a scrap of forged writing; with no attempt at any inquiry; you have left the light and plunged into darkness and earned a disgraceful reputation。 Truly you are stupid。 How can I bear to look upon you? You have besmirched the fair fame of your forefathers and are of no use in the world!〃
