」乃伐崇,令毋殺人,毋壞室,毋填井,毋伐樹木,毋動六畜;有不如令者,死無赦。
His people are exhausted and have no food or clothing.
It is for his people’s sake alone that I am now attacking him.” Then, when he attacked Chong, he ordered his troops to refrain from killing people, from leveling dwellings, from filling in wells, from chopping down trees, and from touching domestic animals.
崇人聞之,因請降。
Those who failed to observe these orders were to be killed without reprieve.
When the people of Chong heard of this, they asked to surrender.
