《智囊(选录)·胆智部·周瑜 寇准 陈康伯》
原文曹操取得荆州后，有了兴兵顺流而下，攻取东吴的念头，于是写了一封信给孙权，大意是自己将率领八十万水兵，约孙权在吴交战。
曹操既得荆州，顺流东下，遗孙权书，言： 治水军八十万众，与将军会猎于吴。 
After Cao Cao defeated Jingzhou, he had a desire to lead troops downstream to attack the Eastern Wu, so he wrote a letter to Sun Quan. Its gist was that Cao Cao himself would lead 800,000 river troops, and he invited Sun Quan to do battle on the Wu.
