昔少康以一旅之眾，復夏配天，況朕據三齊之地，藉五州之眾，教之以軍旅，訓之以禮讓，上下知義，人思自奮，繕甲待釁，為日久矣。 Formerly Shaokang with one brigade's host restored Xia and matched Heaven; how much more I occupy the land of the three Qi, rely on the hosts of five provinces, teach them with armies, train them with ritual yielding; above and below know righteousness, each man thinks to rouse himself; we repair armor and await a crack—this has been long.
