  • Chapter 38 — Zhuge Liang Plans For The Three Kingdoms; Sun Quan Attacks Xiakou To Take Revenges.
    The target at Xiakou whose own meanness armed his enemy: he owed the city's recovery to Gan Ning and rewarded him with 'after all, he is no more than a pirate' - so the Silk-sailed Pirate now cuts his hawsers, kills his van leaders, and burns his two hundred chained warships.
  • Chapter 39 — At Jingzhou, The Son Of Liu Biao Thrice Begs Advice; At Bowang Slope, The Directing Instructor Plans His First Battle.
    Abandons Jiangxia when the defense collapses - straight into Gan Ning's ambush at the east gate. 'I treated you well in the past' earns him 'you treated me as a pirate'; an arrow takes him from the saddle and Gan Ning cuts off his head, which travels home in a box to be offered before Sun Jian's shrine.
