Annals of Gaozu of Chen, early career (- 550)

[From Chenshu 01]

The Exalted Ancestor [gaozu], the Martial [wu] August Emperor, taboo Baxian, courtesy name Xingguo, child name Fasheng, was native of Xiaruo Village in Changcheng in Wuxing, he was a descendant of Han's Chief of Taiqiu, Chen Shi. His family for generations lived in Yingchuan. Shi's great-great-grandson, Zhun, was Jin's Grand Commandant. Zhun begot Kuang. Kuang begot Da. During the Yongjia era [307 – 313], he moved south and was on the staff of the Imperial Chancellor. He was successively Forerunner to the Heir-Apparent, and set out to be Prefect of Changcheng. He was pleased with its mountains and rivers, and thereupon had his family there. He once spoke to his relatives, saying:

This land's mountains and streams are flowering and elegant, and will foster a king in two hundred years. My sons and grandsons will surely collect this fortune.

Da begot Kang, who then was on the staff of the Imperial Chancellor. In the middle of Xianhe [326 – 334] there was a land determination and for that reason he became a native of Changcheng. Kang begot the Grand Warden of Xuchi, Ying. Ying begot the Gentleman of the Masters of Writing, Gongbi. Gongbi begot the Colonel of Infantry, Ding. Ding begot the Cavalier Attendant Gentleman Gao. Gao begot the Prefect of Ande, Yong. Yong begot the Grand Warden of Ancheng, Meng. Meng begot the Grand Ordinary Minister, Daoju. Daoju begot the Late August Wenzan.

Gaozu was born in Liang's 2nd Year of Tianjian [503 AD], a guiwei year. As young he was special and exceptional, and had great aspirations, and did not arrange for a livelihood. When he had grown up, he read military books, and had much martial skill. His clarity and intelligence was indeed set apart, and he was pushed forward and deferred to by the times. He was 7 chi, 5 cun tall, his “sun-corner” had a dragon appearance, and his hands hung down beyond the knees.

He once roamed Yixing, and ledged with the Xu clan. At night he dreamt that the sky opened up several paces, and there were four persons in cinnabar clothes who held up the sun and arrived. They ordered Gaozu to open his mouth and take it. When he woke up, it was like inside his stomach was burning, Gaozu in his heart shouldered it alone.

At the beginning of Datong [535 – 546], the Marquis of Xinyu, Xiao Ying, was Grand Warden of Wuxing, he considerably esteemed Gaozu. Once when eyeing Gaozu, he spoke to his companions and assistants, saying:

This person is just about [to have] far-reaching greatness.

When Ying became Inspector of Guang province, Gaozu became Army Advisor of Central Upright Troops, accompanying the head-quarter's garrison. Ying ordered Gaozu to recruit and assemble soldiers and horses, the multitude reached a thousand people. He continued to instruct Gaozu to oversee Songlong commandery.

His section's An and Hua counties [Chonghua and Nan'an?] originally did not submit, Gaozu chastised and pacified them. Soon after he oversaw the Controller-Protector of Xijiang and Warden of Gaoyao commandery.

Before this, the Marquis of Wulin, Xiao Zi, was Inspector of Jiao province. He lost the multitudes' heart due to collecting [taxes] cruelly. Li Ben, a native of the land, connected and joined with the outstanding and prominent of several provinces to rebel at the same time. The palace dispatched the Inspector of Gao province, Sun Jiong, and the Inspector of Xin province, Lu Zixiong, to bring along troops and strike them. Jiong and others did not advance in time, and both submitted to execution in Guang province. Zixiong's younger brother Zilüe, Jiong's sons and nephews, and their Masters of the Host, Du Tianhe, and Du Sengming together raised troops, apprehended the Controller-Protector of Nanjiang, Shen Yi, and advanced to rob Guang province. Day and night there were incessant attacks, and within they shook in fear.

Gaozu led 3 000 of the finest soldiers, rolled up the armour and made combined marches so as to save them, in frequent battles he won again and again. Tianhe was hit by a stray arrow and died. The thieves' multitudes were greatly scattered, and Sengming thereupon surrendered. Emperor Wu of Liang deeply commended and marvelled at him, conferred on him General of the Upright Passageway, with ennoblement as Count of Xin'an and an estate of 300 households, and at the same time dispatched painters to make a picture of Gaozu's appearance to observe him.

That Year [544 AD], Winter, Xiao Ying passed on. Next Year [545 AD], Gaozu sent off the coffin to return to the capital. When he arrived at Dayu High Pass, there happened to be a decree for Gaozu to be Marshal of Jiao province, nominally Grand Warden of Wuping. He and the Inspector, Yang Piao, went south to chastise. Gaozu increasingly brought forward the brave and daring, his instruments and weapons were the finest and sharpest. Piao delightfully said:

Among those able to vanquish the thieves, certainly is Minister of the Martial Chen.

He entrusted him accordingly with organizing and strategizing. Gaozu and the multitude armies issued out from Panyu. At that time Xiao Bo was Inspector of Ding province, and they met each other on the Xijiang. Bo understood the army soldiers dreaded far-away service, and secretly offered rewarded and enticed them, and following that deceptively persuaded Piao. Piao assembled the various generals to ask about plans. Gaozu replied, saying:

Jiaozhi's rebels spread out, crime followed for the Lineage House. Thereupon they caused usurpation and chaos in several provinces, spreading out for successive years and harvests. Ding province then wishes to dim the gain in seeing forward, and does not look at the great plan. The tally sent down present [us] with utterances to swing at the criminals, for that reason [I] will live or die for it. How can [you] hold in awe and quail at the Lineage House, and make light of the state's laws? Now suppose the robbers dispirit the multitudes, how are [we] certain Jiao province will chastise the thieves. [If] asking about the criminals' host, then turn around and point at them.

With that they directed the troops to beat the drums and march, and then advanced.

11th Year, 6th Month [25 June – 24 July 545], the army arrived in Jiao province. Ben's multitudes, several ten thousand, was at the mouth of the Suli Jiang, to erect city palisades so as to resist the official army. Piao pushed forward Gaozu as the vanguard, wherever he turned he toppled and captured. Ben fled to Dianche Lake. In the region of the Qu Liao he erected a stockade, greatly constructed ships and warships, filling up and blocking the middle of the lake. The multitude armies dreaded them, they paused at the mouth of the lake and did not dare to advance. Gaozu spoke to the various generals, saying:

Our host is already worn, the generals and soldiers are weary with struggle. To grasp each other for successive years [I] fear is not a good plan. Moreover an isolated army without assistance enters into peoples hearts and bellies. Suppose there is a single battle we do not win, how do we expect to keep our lives intact? Now to depend on them fleeing again and again, peoples' feelings are not yet firm. The Yi and Liao are a flock of crows, and are easy to destroy and exterminate. It is correct to attend to together to set out for a hundred deaths, to determine strength and catch them. We have no reasons to stop and halt, the affairs of the times will go away.

The various generals were all silent, and did not have a response. That night the waters of the Jiang rose 7 zhang, gathered in the middle of the lake, running and flowing in a quick burst. Gaozu directed his section troops, and exploited the flow to advance first. The multitude armies beat the drums and made a clamour, and moved forward together. The thieves' multitudes were greatly scattered.

Ben ran away to enter within the grottos of the Qu Liao. The Qu Liao beheaded Ben, and transmitted his head to the Imperial City. This year was the 1st Year of Taiqing [547 AD]. Ben's older brother Tianbao escaped to enter Jiuzhen. He and the brigand leader Li Shaolong gathered the remaining troops, 20 000, killed the Inspector of De province, Chen Wenjie, and advanced to besiege Ai province. Gaozu carried on leading the multitudes to chastise and pacify them. He was appointed General who Raises the Distant, Controller-Protector of Xijiang, Grand Warden of Gaoyao, and Controller of All Army Affairs of Seven Commanderies.

2nd Year [548 AD], Winter, Hou Jing robbed the Imperial City. Gaozu wanted to led troops to go and assist. The Inspector of Guang province, Yuan Jingzhong secretly had different aspirations, and wanted to plot against Gaozu. Gaozu perceived his plan. He and the Inspector of Cheng province, Wang Huaiming, the Selection Gentleman of the Acting Tribunal, Yin Waichen, and others covertly discussed taking precautions and making preparations.

3rd Year, 7th Month [9 August – 7 September 549], he assembled righteous troops in the Southern Seas, and swiftly called arms to chastise Jingzhong. Jingzhong was desperate and under pressure, and hanged [himself] beneath the balcony. Gaozu welcomed Xiao Bo to garrison Guang provnice.

At that time, the Interior Clerk of Linhe, Ouyang Wei oversaw Heng province. Lan Yu and Lan Jingli incited and persuaded Shixing etc., 10 commanderies. Together they raised up troops to attack Wei. Wei requested aid from Bo. Bo ordered Gaozu to lead the multitudes to rescue him. He thoroughly seized Yu and others, and continued to oversee Shixing commandery.

11th Month [5 December – 3 January 550], Gaozu dispatched Du Sengming and Hu Ying to bring along 2 000 people to pause above the high passes. He also substantially connected with the outstanding and prominent of Shixing to together plan to righteously raise up. Hou Andu, Zhang Rensi, and others led more than 1 000 people to come and adhere. Xiao Bo heard about it, and dispatched Zhong Xiuyue to talk to Gaozu, saying:

Hou Jing is gallant and valiant, Under Heaven none are his equal. Those in front assisted an army of 100 000, the soldiers and horses are the very best and vigorous. But yet they did not dare to be the spear-point, and thereupon ordered the Jie thieves to obtain their aspirations. You Lord, with a multitude of little account, how might it be?

Similarly, hearing that north of the High Passes, the kings and marquises are also all a boiling cauldron, Hedong and Guiyang are in turn butchering and massacring each other. Shaoling is beginning a foundation, and personally seeking out shield and spear. Li Qianshi is devoting himself to Dangyang, readily snatching horses and weaponry. By you Lord ignoring the outside, could you be jumping in the dark?

It is not as good moreover as dwelling in Shixing, far away extend the sound of power, protect this grand mountain, and yourself seek much happiness.

Gaozu sobbed and spoke to Xiuyue, saying:

This humble one originally was ordinary and unassuming, facing the state's complete accomplishments. When [I] formerly heard Hou Jing had crossed the Jiang, [I] immediately wished to go and aid. Coming across the conflict with Yuan and Lan, they were thorns in the middle of my path. Now the Imperial Capital is overturned and lost, the Ruler and Sovereign is suffering dust, the lords are humiliated and the subjects dead. Who would dare covering over the instructions! The Lord Marquis embodies then the august branches, his duties weighty among the regions' high peaks. He is not able to snap a spear-point at ten thousand li, wipe away this unjust pain, and see to dispatching a single army. Better than doing nothing, and then submit to later directives, making people melancholy, this humble one will act and plan for a decision, and rely on it as disclosing and recounting.

He then dispatched messengers to go to Jiangling outside the roads, and receive the successor army's appointed time, rules and measures.

At the time Cai Luyang rose up with troops to occupy Nankang. Bo dispatched his belly and heart Tan Shiyuan as Prefect of Qujiang. He and Luyang joined with each other, and together went aganst the righteous army.

1st Year of Dabao [2 February – 3 March 550], Gaozu issued out from Shixing, and stayed at Dayu High Pass. Luyang set out with the army and paused at Nanye, he relied on the mountains and rivers to erect four forts so as to resist Gaozu. Gaozu fought with him, and greatly routed him. Luyang extricated himself, ran away and fled. Gaozu advanced to pause in Nankang. The King of Xiangdong succeeded to authority, and conferred on Gaozu Cavalier in Regular Attendance of the Outer Staff, Holding the Tally, General who Clarifies Power, and Inspector of Jiao province, and changed his ennoblement to Baron of Nanye county.

6th Month [30 June – 29 July], Gaozu repaired the old city of Qitou, and moved to reside there. The Inspector of Gao province, Li Qianshi occupyed Dagao. He dispatched the Master of the Host Du Pinglu to lead 1 000 people and enter Ganshi and Yuliang. Gaozu instructed Zhou Wenyu to bring along troops and strike him. Qiangshi ran to Ningdu. The Successor to Authority conferred on Gaozu Thoroughly Straight Cavalier in Regular Attendance, Envoy Holding the Tally, Commander-in-Chief of All Army Affairs of Six Commanderies, General of the Host of Armies, Inspector of Nanjiang province; the remainder like before.

At the time, natives of Ningdu, Liu Ai and others, supplied Qianshi with ships, warships, troops and weaponry, wanting to assault Nankang. Gaozu dispatched Du Sengming and others to lead 20 000 people to occupy Baikou, and build a fort so as to hold out against them. Qianshi likewise erected a fort so they were confronting each other.

Book of Liu-Song 49: Kuai En

A prime candidate for 16 Kingdoms Warriors.

蒯��，字道恩，蘭陵承人也。高祖征孫恩，縣差為征民，充乙士，使伐馬芻。恩常負大束，兼倍餘人，每捨芻於地，歎曰：「大丈夫彎弓三石，柰何充馬士！」高祖聞之，即給器仗，恩大喜。自征妖賊，常為先登，多斬首級。既習戰陣，膽力過人，誠心忠謹，未嘗有過失，甚見愛信。於婁縣戰，箭中左目。

Kuai En, styled Dao'en, was a native of Cheng county in Lanling commandary.

When Liu Yu was campaigning against Sun En (~399), the local counties drafted people as servants and porters for the army and had them carry hay for the horses. Sun En often carried large bales of hay, more than twice as much as the other porters, and many times he would throw the hay to the ground and sigh, "A real man ought to be wielding a bow of three 石. Why do I have to haul this horse food?" When Liu Yu heard Kuai En say this, he handed him some weapons and gear, and Kuai En was delighted. He joined Liu Yu's army and helped him to campaign against Sun En's mystic rebels, and during the fighting he was often one of the first soldiers to break through and he took many heads. He became a veteran soldier, and both his strength and courage surpassed others; he was earnest, sincere, loyal, and cautious, and he never once committed a fault or error. Liu Yu deeply appreciated and trusted him.

During the battle at Lou county, Kuai En was struck by an arrow in the left eye.

從平京城，進定京邑，以寧遠將軍領幢。隨振武將軍道規西討，虜桓仙客，克偃月壘，遂平江陵。義熙二年，賊張堅據應城反，恩擊破之，封都鄉侯。從伐廣固，又有戰功。盧循逼京邑，恩戰於查浦，賊退走。與王仲德等追破循別將范宗民於南陵。循既走還廣州，恩又領千餘人隨劉藩追徐道覆於始興，斬之。遷龍驤將軍、蘭陵太守。

During Liu Yu's uprising against Huan Xuan (in 404), Kuai En accompanied Liu Yu to take Jingcheng (Jingkou), then advanced to take the capital. He was appointed as General Who Calms Distant Places, serving Liu Yu directly as part of his immediate soldiers. He followed the General Who Displays Valor, Liu Daogui, on his western campaign against Huan Xuan (in 404-405), where he captured Huan Xianke and took Yanyue Rampart; Jiangling was thus taken.

In the second year of Yixi (406), when the bandit Zhang Jian occupied Yingcheng and rebelled, Kuai En attacked and routed him. He was appointed as the Marquis of Douxiang.

Kuai En accompanied Liu Yu during his campaign against Southern Yan (in 409), where again he won deeds in battle.

When Lu Xun threatened the capital region (in 410), Kuai En fought in the battle at Chapu, and the rebels retreated. Kuai En, Wang Zhongde, and others pursued and routed Lu Xun's general Fan Zongmin at Nanling. When Lu Xun fled back to Guangzhou, Kuai En led more than a thousand troops to follow Liu Fan and pursue the rebel general Xu Daofu to Shixing, where they took Xu Daofu's head. Kuai En was appointed as Dragon-Soaring General and Administrator of Lanling.

高祖西征劉毅，恩與王鎮惡輕軍襲江陵，事在鎮惡傳。

When Liu Yu launched his western campaign against Liu Yi (in 412), Kuai En and Wang Zhen'e led light troops ahead to launch a surprise attack against Jiangling. This is mentioned in further detail in the Biography of Wang Zhen'e.

以本官為太尉長兼行參軍，領眾二千，隨益州刺史朱齡石伐蜀。至彭模，恩所領居前，大戰，自朝至日昃，勇氣益奮，賊破走。進平成都，擢為行參軍，改封北至縣五等男。

Kuai En was now appointed as combined acting Army Advisor to the Grand Commandant and assigned command of two thousand soldiers, and he followed the Inspector of Yizhou, Zhu Lingshi, on his campaign against the Shu region (in 412-413). When the Jin army reached Pengmo, Kuai En's troops were in the vanguard. They fought a great battle against the rebels there, fighting from morning until past noon, but their courage and zeal only increased as the fighting went on, and the rebels were routed and retreated. The Jin army advanced and took Chengdu. Kuai En was appointed as an acting Army Advisor, and his noble title was changed to Marquis of the fifth rank of Beizhi county.

高祖伐司馬休之及魯宗之，恩與建威將軍徐逵之前進。逵之敗沒，恩陳于堤下。宗之子軌乘勝擊恩，矢下如雨，呼聲震地，恩整厲將士，置陣堅嚴。軌屢衝之不動，知不可攻，乃退。高祖善其能將軍持重。江陵平定，復追魯軌於石城。軌棄城走，恩追至襄陽，宗之奔羌，恩與諸將追討，至魯陽關乃還。

When Liu Yu campaigned against Sima Xiuzhi and Lu Zongzhi (in 415), Kuai En and the General Who Establishes Might, Xu Kuizhi, led the vanguard forward. But Xu Kuizhi was defeated and killed, and Sun En's formation was pushed back beneath a dyke. Lu Zongzhi's son Lu Gui pressed the earlier victory to move forward to attack Kuai En; his arrows fell like rain, and the cries of his soldiers shook the ground. But Kuai En kept his generals and soldiers under steady discipline, and they held their formation in strict order. Lu Gui charged their lines several times, but could not break through. When he realized that he could not overcome Kuai En, he fell back. Liu Yu praised Kuai En for his ability to lead generals and hold his lines.

After Jiangling was pacified, Kuai En pursued Lu Gui to Shicheng. Lu Gui abandoned the city and fled, and Kuai En pursued him to Xiangyang. Lu Zongzhi fled to the Qiang (Later Qin), and Kuai En and other generals pursued him, marching as far as Luyang Pass before turning back.

恩自從征討，每有危急，輒率先諸將，常陷堅破陣，不避艱嶮。凡百餘戰，身被重創。高祖錄其前後功勞，封新寧縣男，食邑五百戶。高祖世子為征虜將軍，恩以大府佐領中兵參軍，隨府轉中兵參軍。高祖北伐，留恩侍衛世子，命朝士與之交。恩益自謙損，與人語常呼官位，而自稱為鄙人。撫待士卒，甚有紀綱，眾咸親附之。遷諮議參軍，轉輔國將軍、淮陵太守。世子開府，又為從事中郎，轉司馬，將軍、太守如故。

Whenever Kuai En went on campaigns, he always braved the dangers and perils himself and led his generals from the front. He was always breaking through fortifications and smashing enemy formations, nor did he avoid difficult or dangerous enemy defenses. He fought in more than a hundred battles, and his body suffered numerous wounds. Liu Yu took note of all his achievements and deeds, and he appointed Kuai En as Baron of Xinning county, with a fief of five hundred households.

When Liu Yu appointed his heir (Liu Yifu) as General Who Conquers The Caitiffs (in 416), he appointed Kuai En as acting Army Advisor of the Central Regiment for the Greater Staff, and he retained this position.

When Liu Yu launched his northern campaign against Later Qin, he left Kuai En behind to guard and protect Liu Yifu and ordered the court ministers to correspond with him. Kuai En was modest and self-defacing; he would usually refer to others by their office or title, but would refer to himself as "this humble fellow". He was attentive to and concerned for his officers and soldiers, and he greatly enforced the laws and regulations. Thus his soldiers were all attached to him and felt close to him.

Kuai En was appointed as a Consultant Army Advisor, then transferred to be General Who Upholds The State and Administrator of Huailing. When Liu Yifu operated a Separate Office, Kuai En was appointed as Attendant Officer of the Household Gentleman and a Major under Liu Yifu, while keeping his original positions as General and Administrator.

入關迎桂陽公義真。義真還至青泥，為佛佛虜所追，恩斷後，力戰連日。義真前軍奔散，恩軍人亦盡，為虜所執，死於虜中。子國才嗣。國才卒，子慧度嗣。慧度卒，無子，國除。

Kuai En was sent to welcome the return of the Duke of Guiyang, Liu Yizhen (in 418). When Liu Yizhen was on his way back to the capital, he was pursued by Helian Bobo, who caught up with him at Qingni. Kuai En commanded the rearguard, and he fought hard for several days. Liu Yizhen and the troops at the front of the army all scattered and fled, and Kuai En's soldiers were wiped out. He was captured by the barbarians, and he died as their prisoner.

Kuai En's son Kuai Guocai inherited his titles. When Kuai Guocai passed away, his son Kuai Huidu succeeded him. Kuai Huidu passed away without any sons, so the fief was abolished.

Surface remanufacturing of ductile cast iron by laser cladding Ni-Cu alloy coatings

Publication date: 15 August 2018 Source:Surface and Coatings Technology, Volume 347 Author(s): Yongjian Li, Shiyun Dong, Shixing Yan, Xiaoting Liu, Peng He, Binshi Xu Ductile cast iron is hard to be remanufactured without preheating and post heat treatment owing to the complicated phase evolution and a great tendency to form chilled structure during cladding process. Ni-Cu alloy shows great ability to obstruct the diffusion of carbon in the transition zone during the welding of cast iron due to the low solubility of carbon in nickel alloy. In the present study, different kinds of simulated grooves were devised to estimate the remanufacturing process of ductile cast iron by laser cladding. Ni-Cu alloy were used as the filling material. The microstructure and phase evolution in the transition zone were illustrated and mechanical properties have also been studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive microanalysis (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to identify the microstructure and phase types of the claddings and transition regions. The result illustrated that various microstructures were formed during laser remanufacturing. Circular groove and cross cladding procedure were conductive to reduce residual stress. Microhardness decreased obviously after multi thermal cycles. The specimen shows ultimate strength of 502 MPa no less than that of the substrate.

Biography of the island barbarian Liu Yu

[From Weishu 097.]

The island barbarian Liu Yu, courtesy name Deyu, was a native of Dantu in Jinling. It is unknown from where his ancestors set out from. Himself said they were originally natives of Pengcheng in Pengcheng. Some say their original family name was Xiang, and then changed to be the Liu clan, likewise it is not possible to trace them back. For that reasons they and the various Liu of Congting and Anshang are completely without a lineage sequence. Yu's family originally was low and minor, and lived in Jingkou, and routinely considered selling shoes to be their patrimony.

His thoughts and mood were vivid and piercing [?], was only just familiar with writing, and was [among] the times' mean and meagre. He once owed the Consultant of Agile Cavalry, Diao Kui's community 30 000 cash, passing through the season he did not return. Kui considered him without action, recorded and compelled and called him into account. The Senior Clerk of Agile Cavalry, Wang Mi, used cash to replace and return, the affair just then got completed. He was downcast and dispirited, and did not study the angles and corners.

2nd Year of Tianxing [399 AD], bogus Jin's Sima Dezong [Emperor An] dispatched his General who Assists the State, Liu Laozhi, to punish Sun En. Yu responded to the levy, and began as Laozhi's Army Advisor. En went north to rob Haiyan, Yu pursued and won over him. Due to his merits, he was slightly after moved to General who Establishes the Martial and Grand Warden of Xiapi.

Liu Laozhi punished Huan Xuan, Yu advised on his army affairs. Laozhi surrendered, Yu became Xuan's cousin Huan Xiu's Army Advisor of the Central Troops. Sun En died, his remaining multitudes pushed forward En's younger sisters husband Lu Xun as their master. Xuan dispatched Yu to conquer him. Yu routed Xun in Dongyang and Yongjia, Xun sailed the sea to run in flight. Added to Yu Interior Clerk of Pengcheng.

When Huan Xuan deposed Dezong and established himself, Yu secretly plotted with his younger brother Daogui, Liu Yi and He Wuji. to raise troops. Huan Xiu's younger brother Sizu was headquartered at Guangling, Daogui and Liu Yi had previously been subordinates of him.

At the beginning of Tianci [404 – 409], Yu with He Wuji and others waited at dawn for the city gates to open, and led the multitudes to behead Xuan's Inspector of Xu province, Huan Xiu, at Jingkou. That day, Liu Yi, Daogui and others likewise beheaded Sizu, and followed with gathering the multitudes and crossed the Jiang. The Grand Warden of Henei, Xin Huxing, the Grand Warden of Hengnong, Wang Yuande, and the General who Arouses Power, Zhong Houzhi likewise together with Yu overcame that day to defeat Xuan.

Yi's elder brother Mai at the time was at Jianye. Yi dispatched Zhou An to direct him. Mai was afraid and informed Xuan. Xuan dispatched the Grand Warden of Dunqiu, Wu Fuzhi, and the General of Guards of the Right, Huangfu Fu to go north and resist. Yu led the multitudes to lodge at Zhuli. He met Fuzhi at Jiangcheng. Yu held his long sword to enter his formation, and beheaded Fuzhi. He advanced to Luoluo Bridge, and also cut off Fu's head. Xuan sent Huan Xiu to garrison Dongling, Bian Fanzhi to garrison west of Fuzhou Mountain. Yu also routed them. Xuan was greatly afraid, and therefore took his sons and nephews to sail the Jiang and run south.

Yu entered to headquarter at Shitou, he used Dezong's Minister over the Masses, Wang Mi as Recording the Masters of Writing and acting Inspector of Yang province. He established a stay-behind government, and collected the hundred officials. Yu became Envoy Holding the Tally, Commander-in-Chief of Yang, Xu, Yan, Yu, Ji, You and Bing provinces, General of the Headquarter Army, and Inspector of Xu province. He ordered Daogui and others with the multitudes to pursue Xuan.

Yu following that set up fame and rank, he dispatched the Master of Writing Wang Gu and others to welcome Dezong, and burnt Huan Wen's spirit table outside of the Xuanyang gate. Soon after he killed the Supervisor of the Left of the Masters of Writing, Wang Yu, and his sons Sui, Na and others. Yu used Sima Zun as Great General, to inherit authority and enter to stay in the Eastern Palace. Excellencies, ministers and below could not but all do obeisance. Then there was a great amnesty, only Xuan and others were not included.

That night, the Minister over the Masses, Wang Mi, escaped and ran. Liu Yi, since his hands had taken away Dezong's signet and ribbon, [said they] ought to execute him. Yu, due to his kindness in repaying the cash, requested to dismiss it. He therefore dispatched the Intendant of Danyang, Meng Chang, to welcome him.

Wuji and Daogui arrived at Sangluo Island, and routed Huan Xuan. The various generals advanced to occupy Xunyang. Added to Yu Commander-in-Chief of Jiang province. Liu Yu then defeated Huan Xuan at Zhengrong Island. Xuan therefore abandoned the multitudes, and alone on a single barge ran and fled. He clasped Dezong to run to Jiangling. Yu acted as Inspector of Qing province, and was to enter the hall with a hundred armoured and armed men.

Yi and others pacified Baling. Dezong returned to the rank at Jiangling, and changed the era to Yixi [“Righteous Splendour”]. When he returned to Jianye, Yu advanced to Palace Attendant, General of Chariots and Cavalry, Commander-in-Chief of All Army Affairs in the Centre and Outside, he made a show of yielding and did not accept. Added Recording the Affairs of the Masters of Writing, again he pretended not to accept.

He therefore set out to headquarter at Dantu, changing [his office] to Commander-in-Chief of Sixteen Provinces, the remainder like before, he also acted as [Inspector] of Yan province, and then gave up Qing province.

Lu Xun routed Guang province. Yu still used Xun as Inspector of Guang province, and his partisan Xu Daofu, a native of Langye, as Chancellor of Shixing. Yu also [became] Commander-in-Chief of Jiao and Guang provinces. Also enfeoffed Yu as Duke of Yuzhang commandery, with an estate of 10 000 households, and 30 000 bolts of tabby silk. Added to him Palace Attendant, and advanced his title to General of Agile Cavalry, Same Ceremonies as the Three Ministers.

Again advanced Yu to Inspector of Yang province, Recording the Affairs of the Masters of Writing, staying in the Eastern Office. Yu dispatched Liu Jingxuan to invade Shu, but he was defeated by Qiao Daofu. Therefore dismissed Jingxuan from office. Yu demoted himself to be General of the Centre Army, Opening Office like before.

At the beginning of Yongxing [409 – 413], Murong Chao greatly plundered north of the Huai, he seized Dezong's Grand Warden of Yangping, Liu Qianzai, and Grand Warden of Ji'nan, Zhaoyuan, Zhao Yuan. He drove away and carried off more than a thousand families and returned home. Yu therefore invaded Chao, and thereupon massacred Guanggu. He seized Chao, and beheaded his kings, dukes, and below, 3 000 people. He took more than 10 000 people and 2 000 horses and exterminated them in the city moat. He sent off Chao to Jianye and beheaded him.

While Yu was acting so, Xu Daofu recommended Lu Xun to bring about exploiting the absence and set out. Xun followed it. Hence the various commandery wardens of Nankang, Luling and Yuzhang all ran in flight. The Inspector of Jiang province, He Wuji, led the armies to arrive in Yuzhang, he was defeated in battle. At that time the crowd's opinion and wish was to cause Dezong to move north and cross the Jiang. Xun thereupon robbed within Xiang, he routed Liu Daogui at Changsha, and defeated Liu Yi at Sangluo Island. He rolled up the mat and went down [river].

Yu's generals Meng Chang and Zhuge Changmin recommended Yu to embrace Dezong and go beyond the Jiang. Yu did not follow. Chang said the affair would surely not succeed, and therefore killed himself. Yu sent out the resident people to rule from Shitou Fort. Daofu and others arrived, and immediately wished burn the ships at Xinting and Baishi Islet, and go up. Lu Xun said:

The great army has not yet arrived, Meng Chang readily disobeyed and killed himself. Using this and then push forward, Jianye soon ought to have a change, and still put on armour and defend it. Do not worry about not succeding.

He therefore garrisoned the army at Cai Islet.

Xun therefore led the multitudes, several ten thousand, to go up on the southern bank, and arrived in Danyang commandery. He thereupon burnt Jingkou, Jincheng and Gushu, and robbed and plundered Tuzhong, reaching Jiangning and Wuhu. Xun used Ruan Ci as Inspector of Yu province. Yu's Army Advisor of the Centre Army, Shang Jing [?], and the Interior Clerk of Xuancheng, Mao Xiuzhi, routed Ci at Gushu, and captured his supply wagons. Ci therefore withdrew.

Again added to Yu Grand Commandant, Overseer of the Palace Writers and Yellow Battle-axe. Yu accepted Yellow Battle-axe. Lu Xun having not fought, therefore announced to Daofu, saying:

The host is old, [we] can turn back and occupy Xunyang, combine power and take Jing provnice, calmly use the strength of two parts out of three to sail down and contend for the balance. We can still thereby succeed.

He therefore withdrew south from Cai Islet. Yu dispatched the General who Assists the State, Wang Chongde, and others to pursue him. Yu also dispatched the General who Establishes Power, Sun Jigao to lead the multitudes over the sea way to assault Panyu. Yu himself used a naval host to invade south. Jigao exploited the sea and combined marches, and soon arrived at Panyu.

Xun did not consider the sea way to be guarded against. As soon as [Jigao?] then [Xun?] was fear-struck. The multitudes therefore were greatly afraid. Jigao went up with all his strength, attacked them on four sides, and followed with massacring their city. Lu Xun's father Gu and the Senior Clerk, Sun Jianzhi both used light ships to run to Shixing.

Xun and Daofu led the multitudes and came down [river]. Yu's multitude armies struck them, Xun and others turned back to Xunyang. Xin wished to escape to Yuzhang, and therefore with all his strength palisaded and cut off Zuoli. Xun on a single barge straight-away turned back to Guang province. Daofu turned back to Shixing. Yu turned back, and became Great General, Shepherd of Yang province, with a squad of 20 swordsmen, original offices like before.

Xu Daofu arrived at Shixing, and still occupied the mountains and brooks. Liu Fan and others attacked him. Daofu first poisoned his wife and children and afterwards killed himself. Lu Xun arrived at Panyu, and gathered the multitudes to attack Jigao. Liu Fan dispatched Shen Tianzi to punish him. Xun ran in flight. His remaining multitudes followed the mountain roads to assault Hepu, they overcame it. He advanced to attack Jiaozhi. The Inspector of Jiao province, Du Huidu, fought again and again, and achieved victory. Xun threw himself in the water and died.

Yu used himself as Grand Commandant and Overseer of the Palace Writers. Yu killed the Supervisor of the Left of the Masters of Writing, Xie Hun, and the Inspector of Yan province, Liu Fan. Yu already had power and esteem, [but] readily in his breast had different aspirations. Since the Inspector of Jing province, Liu Yi quite had brave schemes, and also was occupying up-river, he in his heart feared and detested him. He thereupon himself campaigned against Yu, he dispatched the Army Advisor Wang Zhen'e and others to assault Jiangling.

Zhen'e arrived at Yuzhangkou, and burnt Yi's boats and warships. Yi's troops confronted [him] in battle but were not able to withstand. Zhen'e hurried to enter the outer city. At that time Yi was ill, and therefore was holed up in the inner city. Zhen'e burnt the various gates to attack him, his followers therefore scattered. Yi set out to flee from the northern gates, he hanged [himself] by the road-side. They beheaded his corpse in the market, and executed his sons and nephews.

Yu arrived at Jiangling. He executed the Colonel of the Southern Man, Xi Sengshi, the Army Consultant of Guards, Xie Shao, and others. Yu originally was low and minor, and did not take part in soldier squads. Reaching him monopolizing the times' government affairs, he readily revealed his opinion to kill and massacre, to thereby dominate timid subordinates. Earlier, due to his hatred of Diao Kui tying him up, he executed his brothers. Also, due to Wang Yu, Xie Hun and Xi Sengshi's followers equally all [having] the expectations of the times, he thereupon thoroughly murdered them. He divided off from Jing province to be Xiang province, Yu himself with overall supervision.

Yu turned back to the Eastern Office. He summoned Zhuge Changmin and withdrew from people [?] for idle talk. He secretly ordered strong soldiers, Ding Wu and others, to set out from behind the screen and haul him off from the seat. Changmin fell to the ground and died beside the couch. He likewise was envied due to his talent and valour.

The Inspector of Jing province, Sima Xiuzhi, had quite obtained the multitudes' hearts, Yu inside his breast was envious and frightened. In the 2nd Year of Shenrui [415 AD], he led the multitudes to punish him. He dispatched the Dragon Galloping General, Kuai En, and others as the van army. Yu advanced to acting Inspector of Jing province, additionally with Yellow Battle-axe. The Inspector of Yong province, Lu Zongzhi led his son Gui to meet with Xiuzhi at Jiangling. Gui and others' army was defeated. Therefore he and Xiuzhi together ran to Xiangyang. Yu himself acted as Colonel of the Southern Man. Xiuzhi and others ran to Yao Xing.

Yu became Grand Tutor and Shepherd of Yang province. [He could wear] sword and shoes in the high hall, enter court and not hurry, praise and bow with [saying his] name. He set up Senior Clerks of Left and Right, Marshal, and four Assistant Officer Palace Gentlemen, the remainder like before. Yu also acted as General who Pacifies the North and Inspector of Xu and Yan provinces. Added Controller of Nanqin province, soon after Controller of All Army Affairs in the Centre and Outside.

Yu had aspirations to upset and usurp Jin, and if he did not on the outside establish merit and fame, he feared people's expectations would not allow it. He there went west to invade Yao Hong. He himself acted as General who Conquers the West and Inspector of Si and Yu provinces, and soon after acted as Inspector of Beiyong province, added front and rear sections with feathered tassels, drums and pipes, and increased his squad of swordsmen to 40 people.

His son Yifu became General of the Centre Army, overseeing the stay-behind office affairs of the Grand Commandant, and was given one section of drums and pipes. The Supervisor of the Right, Liu Muzhi became Supervisor of the Left, Leading the Army, Army Minister of the Centre Army's Two Offices, to enter and reside in the Eastern Office, with the overall administration of inside and outside. Muzhi spoke to the Dragon Galloping General, Wang Zheng'e, saying:

His Excellency now has commission you Sir for Guanzhong, Sir should make an effort of it.

Zhen'e said:

[If] I now do not overcome Xianyang, [I] swear not to cross the Jiang. But if His Excellency's Nine Bestowments does not arrive, it is likewise the responsibility of you Sir.

Yu led the multitude armies to arrive at Pengcheng. Added General who Garrisons the North and Inspector of Xu province. He dispatched the Army Advisor of the Centre Troops, Shen Linzi to enter the He from the Bian; the Best of the Army, Tan Daoji with Wang Zhen'e to set out on foot from Huaifei, and Yu's general Wang Chongde to sail the Ji and enter the He. Dezong enfeoffed Yu with ten commanderies as Duke of Song, concurrently Chancellor of State and with the Nine Bestowments, usurping the model of Wei and Jin in former affairs.

Wang Zhen'e advanced tp arrove at Yiyang, and alone took Tong Pass, Shen Linzhi from Xiangyi garrisoned at Shancheng. Yao Hong's various generals were unable to withstand. Beginning with Yu entering up from Hexi, Taizong [Mingyuan of Wei] dispatched Generals E Qing, Zhangsun Song and others to garrison at Hepan. Yu dispatched Zhu Chaoshi, Liu Rongzu and others to ferry over the He. Zhangsun Daosheng routed them, and seized and beheaded their general Yang Feng and others.

Yu dispatched Generals Wang Zhongde and Zhao Lunzhi to lead Shen Tianzi and others to enter the Wu Pass, and garrison the army at Qingni. Shen Linzi made use of the Qin Peaks to meet with Tianzi at Yaoliu City. Yao Hong led a multitude of several ten thousand, did not fight and turned back. Yu arrived at Guantou. Zhen'e arrived at the Wei bridge and routed Hong's army at Huangmen.

Yu arrived at Chang'an, he seized Yao Hong to thereby return home, beheading [him] in the Jianye market. Yu used his son Yizhen as Inspector of Yong province, headquartered at Xianyang. Advanced Yu to be King of Song, added ten commanderies, set up the hundred officials, singularly modelled after the old system. Yu turned back to Pengcheng.

Helian Qugai [Bobo] plundered Weiyang. Yizhen dispatched Shen Tianzi to led the army and punish him. Tianzi withdrew the army above the defiles. Zhen'e went towards Tianzi to consult with him. Tianzi beheaded Zhen'e outside his tent, and also killed his brothers and accompanying crowd, seven people. Tianzi hurried to turn back and said that Zhen'e had disloyal intentions. Yizhen's Senior Clerk, Wang Xiu seized and beheaded him.

Yizhen and his left and right often did not follow the law. Wang Xiu always disciplined and demoted [?] them. Left and right altogether resented [him] and reported to Yizhen, saying:

Wang Xiu, since Guanzhong is blocked by defiles, and troops and food are also sufficient, wishes to plan to turn rebel. [We] ought soon to plot against him.

Yizhen dispatched left and right to kill Xiu. Yu heard about it, and used Zhu Lingshi as Inspector of Yong province.

Yizhen set out from Chang'an, and wanted to flee to Jiangdong, the various generals competed to gather wealth and riches, they lodged at Bashang. Helian Chang led the multitudes to pursue them, and soon arrived at Qingni. Yizhen was greatly defeated. Kuai En and the Marshal who Calms the West, Mao Xiuzhi both were taken captive. The Army Advisor Duan Heng, his name violates Gaozu's temple taboo, on a single horse carried Yizhen to return home in flight. Zhu Lingshi likewise abandoned Chang'an, and ran to the Dragon Galloping General Wang Jingxian at Excellency Cao's old ramparts. Then the fort was taken, and he was captured and killed.

Dezong died, Yu established Dezong's younger brother Dewen [Emperor Gong]. Yu also added to himself 10 commanderies. Yu dispatched Marshal Fu Liang to proceed to Jianye, and cause himself to be summoned to enter and assist. Dewen abdicated his throne, and thereupon he titled himself as Song, and changed the era to be Yongchu [“Eternal Beginnings”]. At the time it was the 5th Year of Taichang [420 AD].

When Yu had usurped the establishment, he again and again requested peaceful relations. Taizong allowed it. 6th Year [421 AD], Yu dispatched his General of the Centre Army, Shen Fan, Suo Jisun and others to court with tribute. 7th Year, 5th Month, Yu died [on 26 June 422].

Annals of Gaozu of Song, Jin’s Yixi 7

[From SS002]

[Yixi 7, 9 February 411 – 29 January 412]

7th Year, 1st Month, jiwei [20 February], he rearranged to journey to the Imperial Capital. Changed the conferral to Great General and Shepherd of Yang province, given a squad of 20 swordsmen, original office wholly like before. He firmly declined.

Altogether those who had perished in battle in the southern and northern campaigns and attacks, were equally classified for high funeral gifts and conferral. The coffined corpses not yet turned back, he dispatched officers to welcome and receive, and cause them to be returned to their original soil.

2nd Month [11 March – 8 April], Lu Xun arrived at Panyu. and was routed by Sun Jigao. He gathered his remaining multitudes and run south. Liu Fan and Meng Huaiyu beheaded Xu Daofu at Shixing.

Jin, since the Restoration and onwards [i.e. Eastern Jin], the ruling guide-ropes were greatly loosened, the powerful families were all combined, the strong and weak were affronting each other, the hundred families drifted and left, and did not manage to protect their property and patrimony. Huan Xuan quite desired to administer and change, but in the end was not able to act. His Excellency was already making assistance, and was greatly displaying the rules and norms. The powerful and strong were respectful, distant and near understood the prohibitions.

Arriving at this point, Lu Liang from Yuyao in Kuaiji then hid and hoarded more than a thousand people absconded from the instructions. His Excellency executed Liang, and dismissed the Interior Clerk of Kuaiji, Sima Xiuzhi.

The Son of Heaven again repeated the previous instructions. His Excellency firmly declined. Hence changed the conferral to Grand Commandant and Overseer of the Palace Writers. He then accepted the instructions. He offered to send off the Yellow Battle-Axe, and remove Ji province.

The Inspector of Jiao province, Du Huidu, beheaded Lu Xun, and transmitted his head to the Imperial City.

Before this, the various Flowering Talents and Filial and Upright dispatched by the provinces and commanderies often were not this [kind of] people. His Excellency petitioned the Son of Heaven to repeatedly clarify the old regulations, and rely on the old questions and tests.

He expelled the Inspector, Wu Yinzhi, and administered himself the affairs the affairs of the province, with the title of General who Pacifies the South. He dispatched envoys to present tribute. At the time the Imperial Court had recently executed the Huan clan, inside and outside there were many worries. Therefore they for the moment made use of Xun as General who Conquers the Caitiffs, Inspector of Guang province and Commander of the Palace Gentlemen who Pacifies the Yue.

In the middle of Yixi [405 – 418], Liu Yu attacked Murong Chao. The Grand Warden of Shixing set up by Xun, Xu Daofu, was Xun's elder sister's husband. He sent people to urge Xun to exploit the absence and set out. Xun did not follow. Daofu therefore arrived at Panyu, and explained to Xun, saying:

The Imperial Court persistently considers you Lord to be an illness of belly and heart. Excellency Liu does not yet have the return day. To not exploit this opportunity, then [you are] guarding the calm of a single day. Suppose after pacifying Qi, Excellency Liu himself leads the multitudes to arrive in Yuzhang, and dispatches a sharp host to go beyond the peaks, even with the Lord's godly martial ability, [you will] certainly not be able to do it.

Today's chance ten thousand [times] cannot be lost. As soon as we overcome the capital district, Liu Yu, even if he turns back, there is nothing he will be able to do about it. Lord, if you do not agree, [I] readily will lead the multitudes of Shixing straight towards Xunyang.

Xun was considerably unhappy with this recommendation, but there was nothing by which to reject his plan, he therefore followed it.

Earlier, Daofu had secretly desired to outfit warships, he therefore sent people to hew ship timber in the mountains of Nankang, and falsely stated he wanted to send them down to the capital and trade them. Later he claimed his strength was small and he was unable get them delivered, and so would sell them cheaply in the commandery, the price reduced several times. The inhabitants were greedy and cheap, sold clothes and things, and bargained for them.

The Gan was stony and waters quick [?], and setting out ships was very difficult, everyone stored them. It went like this four times, for that reason ship registers greatly accumulated, and yet the hundred families had no suspicions about it. When Daofu raised troops, he relied on the sales contracts and took them, nobody got to secret away and hide. He then combined strength to outfit them, after ten days he was ready.

Thereupon he raised multitudes to rob Nankang, Luling and Yuzhang commanderies, the wardens and stewards all consigned and delegated to run and flee. The General who Garrisons the South, He Wuji, led the multitudes to resist him, his army was defeated and he was murdered.

Xun dispatched Daofu to rob Jiangling, he had not yet arrived when he was defeated by the government army. He hurried to run and inform Xun, saying:

[I] request to combine strength to attack the Imperial Capital. If we overcome it, Jiangling will not be anything to worry about.

They therefore joined banners and went down, their armed soldiers were a hundred thousand, the sterns and bows numbered a thousand. They defeat the General of Guards, Liu Yi, at Sangluo Island, and passed by to arrive at Jiangning.

Daofu habitually made audacious decisions, and knew Liu Yu had already returned, and wished for potency or loss [?] in a single battle. He requested from Xinting to arrive at Baishi, burn the ships and go up, to make several marches [?] and attack him. Xun had many plans but made few decisions, and wished to use stratagems that were ten thousand times secure, because of that he did not listen. Daofu since Xun never decided, therefore sighed and said:

I in the end was misled by Excellency Lu, the affair will surely be unsuccessful. To cause me to get be a gallant hero spurring and hurrying along, Under Heaven is not enough to settle!

Yu feared their stealthy [?] onrush, and therefore palisaded Shitou, cutting off Zhapu, to thereby resist them. Xun attacked the palisades but did not profit, the warships were overturned by a violent wind, and people were dying. He deployed the columns on the southern bank, fought and again achieved defeat. He therefore advanced to attack Jingkou, and robbed and plundered the various counties without obtainig. Xun spoke to Daofu, saying:

The host is aged, and is not able to repeatedly bestir. [We] can occupy Xunyang, combine strenght and attack Jing province, and calmly once more go down and strive and measure with the capital. It is still possible to succeed.

Following that he ran south from Cai Island, and again occupied Xunyang. Yu had previously dispatched a crowd of leaders to pursue and punish, he himself commanded the great multitude to carry on the advance, and again defeated Xun at Leichi.

Xun wished to escape and turn back to Yuzhang, he therefore with full strength palisaded and cut of Zuoli. Yu instructed the multitudes to attack the palisades. Xun's multitudes , though fighting to the death, were still unable to withstand. Yu exploited the victory to strike them. Xun fled on a single boat, he gathered the scattered soldiers and obtained more than a thousand people, and turned back to guard Guang province.

Yu had previously dispatched Sun Chu to follow the sea way and occupy Panyu city. Xun attacked him, but did not bring him down. Daofu guarded Shixing, and because of the defiles strengthen himself. Xun therefore assaulted Hepu, and overcame it. He advanced to attack Jiao province, and e arrived at Longbian. The Inspector, Du Huidu, deceived and then defeated him.

Xun's might was at end, and he knew he could not escape. He first poisoned his wife and children, more than ten people, and also summoned his performers and concubines, and asked them, saying:

I now will kill myself, who of you are able of the same?

Many stated:

Sparrows and rats are greedy for life, approaching death truly people feel difficulty. [?]

It was also stated:

An official still must die. So-and-so, why desire to live!

Hence he wholly poisoned those who expressed death, and following that threw himself in the water. Huidu took his corpse, and beheaded it, and his father Gu. The co-partisans where altogether captured, and he transmitted the head[s] to the Imperial Capital.

Biography of Tao Kan, Part 3

[From JS066.]

Wang Dun deeply envied Kan's achievements. When he was about to [?] to turn back to Jianglinag, he desired to pay visit to Dun to separate [?]. Huangfu Fanghui, Zhu Si, and others, remonstrated, considering it impossible. Kan did not accept. Dun as a result detained Kan and did not dispatch him. He moved him left to Inspector of Guang province and Commander of the Palace Gentlemen who Pacifies the Yue, and used Wang Yi [JS076] in Jing province.

Kan's subordinates magistrates, officers and men paid visit to Dun requesting to detain Kan. Dun was angry and did not allow it. Kan's generals Zheng Pan, Su Wen, Ma Jun and others did not journey south, and thereupon went west to welcome Du Zeng [JS100] to thereby resist Yi. Dun thought Pan was carrying out Kan's intentions. He donned armour and grasped a spear, and wanted to kill Kan, he set out and then turned around again four times. Kan with a stern face said:

To cause you Lord's valour be cut off will diminish Under Heaven. Why this indecisiveness!

Following that he stood up and went to the privy.

The Consultant Army Advisor Mei Tao and the Senior Clerk Chen Ban talked to Dun, saying:

Zhou Fang and Kan are friends and relatives by marriage, and are like the left and right hands. How to have cut off a person's left hand and yet the right hand is not obedient! [?]

Dun's thoughts thereupon loosened, hence he prepared abundant fine food, to thereby send them off. Kan expediently went out at night, Dun pulled in his son Zhan to be Army Advisor. When Kan had reached Yuzhang, he saw Zhou Fang, and with flowing tears said:

Without Sir's outside aide, my peril [would be] unavoidable.

Kan following that advanced to arrive in Shixing.

Before this, the people of Guang province betrayed the Inspector, Guo Ne, and welcomed a native of Changsha, Wang Ji [JS100] as Inspector. Ji then dispatched envoys to pay visit to Wang Dun, requesting to be [Inspector of] Jiao province. Dun accepted it, but Ji had not yet gone out. It happened that Du Hong occupied Linhe, and because of that Ji requested to surrender, urging Hong to capture Guang province. Hong thereupon together with Wen Shao and the Flowering Talent of Guang province Liu Chen, planned rebellion.

Some recommended Kan moreover to stay in Shixing, to observer and examine the circumstances. Kan did not listen and straight-away arrived in Guang province. Hong dispatched envoys to pretend to surrender. Kan perceived their lies, and first at Fengkou erected stone catapults. Shortly after Hong then arrived leading light troops. He realized Kan was prepared and therefore withdrew. Kan pursued, struck and routed him, and captured Liu Chen at Xiaogui. He also dispatched his section general Xu Gao to punish Ji, beheaded him, and transmitted his head to the Imperial Capital. The various generals all requested to exploit the victory and strike Wen Shao. Kan laughed and said:

My power and fame is already visible, why engage in dispatching troops. Only a single sealed paper is sufficient for myself, that is all.

Hence he sent down a document to notify it. Shao was afraid and ran, [they] chased and captured [him] in Shixing. Due to his merits he was enfeoffed Marquis of Chaisang, with a revenue estate of 4 000 households.

Kan was in the province with nothing going on. Every morning he moved a hundred bricks to the outside of [his] study. At dusk [he] moved [them] to the inside of [his] study. People asked about his reasons. He replied, saying:

I am just making effort for the Central Plain. [If I] go beyond these comfortable indulgences, [I] fear [I] will not be capable of affairs.

His strive and aspirations for diligent vigour was always of this kind.

At the beginning of Taixing [318 – 321], he was advanced in title to General who Calms the South, and made additionally Commander-in-Chief of the Army Affairs of Jiao province. When Wang Dun raised troops in rebellion, there was decree for Kan to use his original office to act as Inspector of Jiang province, and made to move to Commander-in-Chief and Inspector of Xiang province. Dun obtained his ambitions, and sent up for Kan to return to his original duty, additionally Cavalier in Regular Attendance.

At the time the Inspector of Jiao province, Wang Liang, was captured by the traitor Liang Shuo. Kan dispatched general Gao Bao to advance, strike and pacify him. Used Kan to act as Inspector of Jiao province. For a record of merits from beginning to end [?], enfeoffed his second son Xia as Marquis of Duting, and he was advanced in title to Great General who Conquers the South, Opening Office with the Same Ceremonies as the Three Ministers.

When Wang Dun was pacified, he transferred to Commander-in-Chief of All Army Affairs of Jing, Yong, Yi and Liang# provinces, acting Colonel who Protects the Southern Man, Great General who Conquers the West, and Inspector of Jing province; the remainder like before. In Chu and Ying the gentlemen and women could not but congratulate each other.

Kan was by nature intelligent and smart, and diligent at his official duties. He was respectful yet with simple manners, he was fond of human relations. The whole day he would pull back his knees and sit upright. Outside the threshold there were many affairs, a thousand thread-ends and ten thousand sprouts, never was he neglectful in keeping track [?]. Near and far wrote missives, he could not but reply in his own hand. His writing brush was like a current, not once stopping still. He drew forth and received missives from far away, the gates never delayed guests. He often told people, saying:

Yu the Great was a sage and therefore regretted a cun's shadow [on the sundial]. Reaching [us] people of the multitudes, [we] must regret a fen's shadow. How can we indulge in roaming about desolate and drunk. While living to make no improvments to the times, and when dead there beings nothing to ask about to the descendants, this is to abandon one-selves.

[1 cun = 10 fen]

Of the various advisors and assistants there were some who due to talk and play abandoned affairs. He therefore instructed to take their alcohol vessels and implements for dice games, and thoroughly throw them into the Jiang. The magistrates and generals he then additionally whipped and beat, saying:

Chaupar is a game for pig shepherds [?] and slaves, that is all. The Lao and Zhuang are frivolous and superficial, not the model words of former kings, and cannot be acted on. The lordly man will make proper in his clothes and cap, and manage his imposing manners. How can he make disordered hair support his expectations and speak of himself as vastly unimpeded!

When he was offered supplies [?], he always asked about their actions. If [they] had made efforts to make what was delivered [?], even if it was little he was surely pleased, he placated and bestowed, taking part multiple times. If not managed to obtain it [?], then he cuttingly and sharply scolded and abused, turning back their supplies [?].

He once set out to travel, and saw a person hold a single uprooted unripe rice plant. Kan asked:

Why have you done this?

The person told him:

What seen by the road will be taken, that is all [?]

Kan greatly angered said:

You have not farmed, yet for sport spoil people's rice plants.

He held and whipped him. Thus accordingly the hundred families were diligent in farming and rearing, families were well provided and people had sufficient.

At the time when building ships, the sawdust and bamboo butt ends he thoroughly ordered to begin managing them [?]. Nobody understood what for. Later at the New Year's Assembly, there piled up snow and only then the weather cleared. In front of the audience hall it was still wet from the remaining snow. Hence they used the sawdust to spread out on the ground. And when Huan Wen invaded Shu, they again used the bamboo butt heads stockpiled by Kan to make nails to outfit the boats. His arrangements and management of the small and circumstantial [?] was always of this kind.
