【Translation】

Song Xianggong fought with the Chu army at Hongshui. The Song army had already set up a position, and the Chu army had not yet fully crossed the Hongshui. Ziyu, who was sima in charge, said to Song Xianggong: "There are many people on the other side and few in us, so while they have not all crossed the Hongshui, please order an attack on them." Song Xianggong said, "No." The chu army had all crossed the Hongshui River and had not yet taken a position, and Ziyu suggested that Song Xianggong order an attack. Song Xianggong still replied, "No." After the Chu army had set up its position, the Song army went to attack the Chu army, and the Result was a big defeat for the Song army. Song Xianggong was wounded in the thigh, and his guards were killed.

The Song people all blamed Song Xianggong. Song Xianggong said: "In battle, as long as the enemy is already wounded, he will not kill or injure him, nor will he capture the enemy with gray hair." In ancient times, commanding battles did not rely on the dangerous terrain. Although I am a descendant of the Shang Dynasty, which has already perished, I do not attack the enemy who has not set up a good position. ”

The fish said, "You don't know how to fight." Powerful enemies were not well positioned because of the unfavorable terrain, and it was God who helped us. Isn't it okay for the enemy to attack them when they are trapped in the terrain? I'm afraid I can't win! The current people with strong combat effectiveness are our enemies. Even if he is very old, if he can be caught, he should be captured, and what pity is there for a gray-haired person? Make the soldiers aware of what shame is to boost morale and fight bravely in order to destroy the enemy. The enemy was wounded but not yet dead, so why can't he attack again and kill him? If you don't want to hurt the wounded person because you have pity for him, it is better not to hurt him in the first place. To pity an old enemy is to submit to the enemy. The army fights with favorable fighters, and the drumming is used to boost momentum and boost morale. Since the army must seize the advantageous fighter plane in combat, it is just right to take advantage of it when the enemy is in a difficult situation. Since the momentum has grown and the morale of the soldiers has been fully encouraged, it is of course possible to attack the enemy who has not yet formed a line. ”

In the spring of the twentieth year, the public felled and took the whiskers. Xia, Duke of Song, Marquis of Wei, Xu Nan, and Teng Zifa Zheng. Autumn, August Ding Wei, and the People of Qi fought in Shengxing. In the winter, in January of the tenth month, the Song Gong and the Chu people fought in Hong, and the Song division was defeated.

The Chu people cut down the Song to save Zheng. Song Gong will fight. Sima Gu of the Great advised: "If the heavens have abandoned the merchants for a long time, the king will rejoice, and the buddha will forgive him." "Listen. In the winter of November, the Duke of Song and the Chu people fought in Hong. The Song people were already in a column, but the Chu people were not in good hands. Sima Yue: "He who is many and I am widowed, and who has not yet helped, please strike at them." "No." "It is not a line of good, but it is also a complaint." Gong Yue: "Not yet." "After Chen chen and then attacked, the Song division was defeated. Public wounded unit, doorman annihilated.

Everyone in the country is to blame. Gong Yue: "A gentleman is not seriously injured, nor is he a bird or a feather." The ancients are also military, not obstructive. Although the widow has perished in the country, he will not be able to drum up a column. ZiYu said, "Jun unknown battle." Those who are enemies, are not listed, and God praises me. Don't you want to stop it? Fearful! And those who are calling now are our enemies. Although it is related to Hu Qi, if it is obtained, why is it two hairs? Shame teaches war, and seeks to kill the enemy also. If you are not injured or killed, how can you not be serious? If love is seriously injured, it is not hurt, and if you love its second hair, it is like obedience. The three armies to use also, the golden drum with the sound of the gas also. Profit and use, obstruction can also be; sound and aspiration, drum can also be. ”
