柳世隆勢居中夏，年淺位輕，首抗全師，孤城挑攻，臨埤授策，曾無汗馬，勍寇乖沮，力屈於高墉，亂轍爭先，降奔郢路，陸遜之破玄德，不是過也。 Liu Shilong held the middle kingdom, young in years and slight in rank; he met the whole army first, dared attack from a lone city, gave strategy from the wall, and never needed a horse to sweat—the fierce enemy faltered and bent on the high ramparts; broken wheels fought to lead, surrender poured down the road to Ying—nothing Lu Xun did to Liu Bei surpassed it.
