When I joined lord Liu bei he treated me like his teacher and we ate together and did mostly everything together. This caused a jealousy from Guan and Zhang who believed that I am not wise enough to lead armies and give commands. Than report came that Xiahuo Dun(cao cao's general) was leading 100 000 men and was heading towards Xinye. Lord Liu bei told me about the jealously of Guan and Zhang and told me that I to earn their respect, I realised what u had to do and gave out battle orders. I ordered Guan yu to attack Xiahuo Dun's rear flank and Zhang fei to launch a ambush at bowang city their place of encampment and ordered the rest to prepare a fire attack against Xiahuo Dun's army the plan was successful and his army was defeated and he retreated. After I retuned to see the generals they told me " Master you are really a genius ,at every point of battle I was in the enemy reacted the way u exactly said and we destroyed his army". Guan yu than said " master we seek your forgiveness for our behaviour we ask that your forgive us". I forgave them and we went to the celebration banquet and enjoyed a feast and good wine
