且燕國大亂，君臣失計，上下迷惑，栗腹以十萬之眾五折於外，以萬乘之國被圍於趙，壤削主困，為天下僇笑。 Moreover, the state of Yan is in utter chaos—its rulers and ministers have lost their bearings, with confusion reigning from top to bottom. Li Fu led a hundred thousand troops only to suffer five defeats abroad, and a state of ten thousand chariots has been besieged by Zhao. Its territory has been carved away and its lord humiliated, making it a laughingstock of the realm.
