— Zhuge Liang's Wit Takes Hanzhong; Cao Cao's Army Retires To The Ye Valley.
The golden-bearded son arrives out of a dust cloud at the army's blackest hour, fresh from crushing the Wuhuan revolt at Daichun and smiting to Sanggan in the Gobi — the boy who told his father a noble man imitates Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, not scholars. Beats Liu Feng in three bouts and spears Wu Lan in the rout.

Chapter 78
— Treating A Headache, A Famous Physician Dies; Giving The Last Words, The Crafty Hero Departs.
Judged in the will — 'valiant, but imprudent' — and then proves the point: Lord of Yanling comes down from Changan with a hundred thousand troops while his brother's investiture banquet is still being served.

Chapter 79
— Brother Oppressing Brother: Cao Zhi Composes Poems; Nephew Harming Uncle: Liu Feng Receives Punishment.
Marches his hundred thousand to the gates — and is disarmed by Jia Kui's two questions: the seal belongs to the heir, and a mourner needs no army. Weeps in his brother's arms, yields his command, and goes quietly back to Yanling.
