"The Battle of Red Cliffs" 的翻译是：
"Initially, when Lu Su heard that Liu Biao had died, he spoke to Sun Quan, saying: 'Jingzhou is adjacent to our country, with mountains and rivers that are precipitous and strong, vast and fertile lands, and a populace that is wealthy and prosperous. If we can possess it, it would be a stepping stone for establishing a great imperial enterprise. Now that Liu Biao has just passed away, his two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Cong, are not harmonious, and the various generals in the army support one or the other. Liu Bei is a distinguished person under heaven, with a grudge against Cao Cao, and he resides with Liu Biao. Liu Biao envies his abilities and has not been able to employ him fully. If Liu Bei can unite with the people under Liu Biao, and they all work together, then we should comfort and ally with them. If they are not in harmony, we should make other plans to achieve our great objectives. I hope to be ordered to console Liu Biao's two sons and to offer comfort to the military leaders, and to persuade Liu Bei to soothe Liu Biao's subordinates and to work together against Cao Cao. Liu Bei would surely be pleased to accept our advice.' Sun Quan was very pleased and discussed this matter with his ministers. Lu Su was then dispatched to Xiasha, and upon learning that Cao Cao was marching towards Jingzhou, he hurried day and night. By the time he reached Nanjun, Liu Cong had already surrendered to Cao Cao, and Liu Bei had retreated south. Lu Su went straight to meet him and encountered him at Dangyang at Changban Slope. Lu Su conveyed Sun Quan's intentions, expressed his sincere condolences, and asked Liu Bei where he intended to go. Liu Bei said he intended to seek refuge with Wu Ju, the governor of Cangwu. Lu Su said, 'Sun Quan is intelligent and kind-hearted, respecting and honoring talented people. All the heroes and scholars of the south have submitted to him, and he now controls six provinces with ample troops and resources to establish a great enterprise. I am planning for you, and it would be better to send trusted messengers to form an alliance with the east, to build a great enterprise together. But you plan to seek refuge with Wu Ju, who is mediocre and in a remote province, and will soon be swallowed up. Can you rely on him？' Liu Bei was pleased. Lu Su also became friends with Zhuge Liang, saying, 'I am the friend of Ziyu.' Ziyu was Zhuge Liang's brother, Zhuge Jin, who had fled to the east to escape chaos and was serving as Sun Quan's chief historian."
