ave my orders to rescue the city and so far have not succeeded？〃 Throwing off his helmet； he cried； 〃The happiest death a man can die is on the battlefield！〃
Whirling his sword about； Yu Quan dashed among his enemies and fought till he fell under many wounds。
Many were they who yielded at Shouchun；
Bowing their heads in the dust before Sima Zhao。
Wu had produced its heroes；
Yet none were faithful to the death like Yu Quan。
When Sima Zhao entered the city； he put to death the whole family of Zhuge Dan。 Some of his guards fell into the hands of Sima Zhao alive； and he offered them their lives if they would yield。
They all refused； saying； 〃We would rather share the fate of our leader。〃
They were sent out of the city to be beheaded； but orders were given to offer each one his life at the last moment。 Thus； before a person was about to receive the fatal blow； that one was asked to yield。 Not one accepted； and they all died。 In admiration for their fortitude； they were honorably interred by order of Sima Zhao。
The loyal servant flees not in the day of disaster；
Such were they who followed Zhuge Dan to the shades。
Ever and again begins the Song of Life's Brevity。
Faithful unto death were they； even as Tian Heng's people*。
＇e＇ Tian Heng a warrior of Qi at the end of the Warring States period and Qin Dynasty。 In his bid to regain the lost kingdom of Qi； Tian Heng rebelled against Qin and fought both Liu Bang and Xiang Yu。 Rather than submitting to Liu Bang； Tian Heng mitted suicide so that his five hundred soldiers could be pardoned。 But on learning of his death； all of his five hundred followers killed themselves。 。。。。。
As has been said； many of the troops of Wu surrendered。
