hao　Yun　deftly　caught　it　and　threw　it　back。　Chen　Ying　dodged　away；　but　Zhao　Yun　soon　caught　him　up；　seized；　dragged　him　out　of　the　saddle；　and　threw　him　to　the　ground。　Then　Zhao　Yun　called　up　his　soldiers；　and　they　bound　the　prisoner。　Chen　Ying　was　taken　to　the　camp；　while　his　troops　scattered　and　fled。

〃I　thought　you　would　not　dare　a　bat　with　me；〃　said　Zhao　Yun　to　the　prisoner　when　they　had　returned　to　camp。　〃However；　I　am　not　going　to　put　you　to　death。　You　are　free。　But　persuade　your　master　to　yield。〃

Chen　Ying　asked　pardon；　put　his　hands　over　his　head；　and　fled　like　a　frightened　rat。　When　he　reached　his　city；　he　told　the　Governor　all　these　things。

〃My　original　desire　was　to　yield；　but　you　insisted　on　fighting；　and　this　is　what　it　has　brought　you　to。〃

So　spoke　the　Governor。　He　bade　Chen　Ying　begone　and　then　prepared　his　letter　of　submission　and　put　up　his　seal。　With　a　small　party；　Zhao　Fan　went　out　of　the　city　and　wended　his　way　to　Zhao　Yun's　camp。　Zhao　Yun　received　him　graciously；　offered　him　wine；　and　then　accepted　the　seal　of　office。

After　the　wine　had　gone　round　several　times；　Zhao　Fan　became　talkative；　saying；　〃General；　your　surname　is　the　same　as　mine；　and　five　centuries　ago　we　were　one　family。　You　are　from　Changshan；　and　so　am　I。　Moreover　we　are　from　the　same　village。　If　you　do　not　mind；　we　might　swear　brotherhood。　I　should　be　very　happy。〃

Zhao　Yun　was　pleased　and　they　pared　ages。　They　were　of　the　same　year。　However；　Zhao　Yun　was　the　elder　by　four　months；　and　so　Zhao　Fan　made　his　bow　as　younger　brother。　The　two　men；　having　so　many　things　in　mon；　were　very　pleased　with　each　other　and　seemed　fitted　to　be　close　friends。

At　eventide　the　feast　broke　up；　and　the　late　Governor　returned　to　his　dwelling。　Next　day　Zhao　Fan
