Thereupon　Gao　Ding　shouted；　〃The　soldiers　should　either　yield　or　be　slain！〃

Gao　Ding　then　went　back　to　Zhuge　Liang　and　offered　the　head　of　the　man　just　slain。

Zhuge　Liang　laughed　again。　〃I　have　made　you　kill　both　these　as　a　proof　of　loyalty。〃

Then　he　created　Gao　Ding　Governor　of　Yizhou　and　chief　of　three　territories；　while　E　Huan　was　made　General。　Thus　the　three　rebel　divisions　were　disposed　of　and　troubled　the　peace　no　more。

Governor　Wang　Kang　of　Yongchang　then　came　out　of　the　city　and　weled　Zhuge　Liang。

While　the　army　was　advancing；　there　came　a　messenger　from　the　court。　When　he　appeared；　Zhuge　Liang　saw　it　was　Ma　Su；　and　he　was　clothed　in　white。　He　was　in　mourning　fo
