To Sima’s surprise, Some farmers who were pretended by zhuge’s soliders, opened the gate and sweeping the floor. Zhuge was sat on the towers and playing a musical instrument called guzheng. Sima couldn’t found any fluster from Zhuge’s musical rhythm. Sima believed that Zhuge used to be very a careful person, and Zhuge had done nothing made himself in danger. He predicted that there were thousands of soldiers in or around this city, Maybe he had already been surrounded by Zhuge’s army.

Zhuge was the prime minister of Shu who had led six battles for conquering Wei. He was a talent strategist, and there are many legendary stories about him, although in the end he failed to conquer Wei, and died during the sixth battle because of illness.
Now I will tell a story that happened in one of these six battles. Sima was a general of Wei, who led Wei’s army against Zhuge. One day Sima took a large number of soldiers to attack a city guarded by Zhuge. At that time most of Zhuge’s soldiers were sent to transport food which was needed by the army, and there were only few older or injured soldiers remaining in the city. The situation was very critical.
To Sima’s surprise, some farmers who were protected [Is this the word you mean?] by Zhuge’s soliders, were sweeping the floor and opened the gate. Zhuge was sitting in a tower and playing a musical instrument called guzheng. Sima couldn’t disturb Zhuge’s musical rhythm. Sima believed that Zhuge used to be very a careful person, and Zhuge had done nothing but put [?] himself in danger. He predicted that there were thousands of soldiers in or around this city, and maybe he had already been surrounded by Zhuge’s army. So, Sima commanded his army to give up the attack and retreat as soon as possible. Because of Sima’s retreat, Zhuge got time to gather his army and reinforce the city.
