-
Chapter 117
— Deng Ai Gets Through The Yinping Mountains; Zhuge Zhan Falls In The Battlefield Of Mianzhu.
Sentenced to death for asking for a rest. After the mountain crossing and the taking of Jiangyou he says what everyone is thinking — 'We have just finished a long and perilous march and are weary and worn out. We ought to repose for a few days to recover' — and Deng Ai answers 'Speed is the one important matter in war. Do not encourage any discontent. I will not have it.' Pardoned only because many officers intercede.

Chapter 119
— The False Surrender: A Wit Scheme Becomes A Vain Plan; The Abdication: Later Seeds Learn From The Ancient.
The hand that does it, for a reason fifteen chapters old: 'When Deng Ai took Jiangyou, he wished to put me to death. It was only at the prayer of my friends that he let me off. May I not have my revenge now?' Rides after the cage-carts with five hundred cavalry, catches them at Mianzhu, and cuts Deng Ai down where he stands without a word.
