showdown with Cao Cao. “Cao Cao has the upper hand now,” objected Chen Gong. “This is no time to take him on. Once we have a base of our own, there will be time enough for another battle.” “What about turning to Yuan Shao as we did before?” Lü Bu suggested. “Send someone to Jizhou to sound him out,” replied Chen Gong, and Lü Bu did so.

Translation 2:

Impaired severely by Cao Cao at Dingtao, Lü Bu collected his battered forces near the coast. At the conference, his generals wished to fight a showdown battle with Cao Cao when Chen Gong said: “At present, Cao Cao is so powerful that we are no match for him. We’d better seize a place as our base and it will not be too late to seek revenge when we are strong enough.” Then Lü Bu asked: “How about turning to Yuan Shao again?” “Send someone to Jizhou to find Yuan Shao’s attitude before leading our troops to him,” replied Chen Gong and Lü Bu agreed.

Translation 1:

Tear overcame the Emperor at the thought that Li Yue now had Li Jue and Guo Si’s backing. But Yang Feng said, “It’s only Li Yue!” and sent out Xu Huang, who cut the rebel down in a single exchange. The White Wave gang dispersed, and Yang Feng guided the Emperor safely through Winnow Basket Pass.

Translation 2:

Disguised as Li Jue and Gao Si, Li Yue led his forces after the Emperor. Judging that it must be Li Yue in disguise, Yang Feng said, “It’s only Li Yue,” and ordered Xu Huang to charge. Li Yue accepted the charge but was killed by Xu Huang in a single exchange. With the gang of rebels dispersed, Yang Feng guarded the Emperor through the Jiguan Pass.
