初，權在吳，欲討黃祖。 Early on, while Sun Quan held Wu and planned to attack Huang Zu,

權遂征祖，卒不能克。 Sun Quan attacked anyway and failed to break Huang Zu.

明年，軍出，行及尋陽，范見風氣，因詣船賀，催兵急行，至即破祖，祖得夜亡。 The following year the fleet advanced; at Xunyang Wu Fan read the omens, boarded Sun Quan’s ship to offer congratulations, and pressed for speed—they smashed Huang Zu, who fled under cover of night.

權恐失之，范曰：“未遠，必生禽祖。” Sun Quan feared losing the prey; Wu Fan said, “Huang Zu cannot have gone far—you will take him alive.”
