Tu Ho of Qu persuaded the King of Qu to use him to get Zhao. Furthermore he was about to bestow upon him the rank of Fifth Grandee, and then order him to secretly implement [his plans to get Zhao]. Chen Zhen spoke to the King of Qu, saying "If Ho cannot acchieve Zhao, you can not take back the rank of Fifth Grandee. He would be getting a reward without merit. If he does achieve Zhao, and then you don't give him something in addition, this would lack goodness. King, nothing would be better than sending ten riders to do it, and then giving the rank of Fifth Grandee. The King said "Good". And henceforth sent(?) ten riders to do it. Tu Ho became enraged, and wouldn't go. Chen Zhen told the King "This is because he is not able to achieve Zhao."
