既而，高麗國王使蒲馬請保州，詔諭高麗王曰：「保州近爾邊境，聽爾自取，今乃勤我師徒，破敵城下。 Soon the Goryeo king sent Puma to claim Bozhou. Taizu's reply read: "Bozhou lies on your frontier and I let you take it yourself. Instead you drew my army in to fight beneath its walls.

且蒲馬止是口陳，俟有表請，即當別議。」 Moreover, Puma spoke only orally. When a formal written petition arrives, we may discuss the matter further."
