成忠不食. 臨死上書曰. 忠臣死不忘君. 願一言而死. 臣常觀時察變. 必將有兵革之事.

Sǒng Ch’ung did not eat. Facing his death, he presented a letter [to the king] saying, “Even if the loyal subject dies, he will never forget [his] lord. I would like to say one word and then die. I often observed time and examined change. For sure, a war is about to happen.”

凡用兵. 必審擇地勢. 處上流而應敵. 可以保全.

[As for] using soldiers, be sure to examine the pattern of the terrain. Place [your soldiers] upper stream and face the enemy there. [Then] it is possible to protect them all.

敵兵若來. 使陸不過沈峴. 水不入伎伐浦. 據其險隘以禦之. 然後可也. 王不省. 遂死獄中.


If the enemy’s troops should come, do not let the troops on the land cross the fortress of Simhyŏn and on water do not let them enter into Kibŏl. Place your troops on a strategic point and stop the enemy. If you do like this on the future then it will be possible to win. But the king wasn’t reasonable enough to listen and later sŏngch'ung died in prison.

The king knew [that he could] not avoid [it and] sighed [and] said: "[I] regret not using Sŏng-ch'ung's words." Dingfang encircled his fort. [The] court ladies ran on [to] the cliff [at] Taewangp'ŏ. [They] fell [and] died. Later people called this cliff as fallen flowers.

The King and Prince Hyo surrendered. Dingfang gave out drinks to relieve his generals and soldiers, and made the King serve the drinks. All his ministers shed tears. Dingfang presented the King, the ministers and the people – 22 800 and some – to the capital [Changan]. The state collapsed.

His love of the king and loyalty and sincerity. Who could be equal to him? When he faced death, he only laid out a plan for the country. It did not take several years to see his saying turn out to be true. His fame lasted for a long time. Bamboo strips (of the records) remain.
