史萬歲，京兆杜陵人也．父靜，周滄州刺史．萬歲少英武，善騎射，驍捷若飛．好讀兵書，兼精占候．年十五，值周、齊戰於芒山，萬歲時從父入軍，旗鼓正相望，萬歲令左右趣治裝急去．俄而周師大敗，其父由是奇之．武帝時，釋褐侍伯上士．及平齊之役，其父戰沒，萬歲以忠臣子，拜開府儀同三司，襲爵太平縣公． Shi Wansui came from Duling in Jingzhao. His father Jing had been Zhou’s governor of Cangzhou. From youth Wansui was bold and martial, skilled in riding and archery, swift as if he could fly. He loved military texts and was also expert in divination and celestial signs. At fifteen, when Zhou and Qi fought at Mount Mang, he was with his father in the army. The two hosts were just facing each other when Wansui told his attendants to pack up and leave at once. Soon the Zhou army was routed, and his father marveled at him. Under Emperor Wu he entered service as senior attendant of the guard. In the pacification of Qi his father died in battle; as a loyal minister’s son, Wansui was made director of the bureau with equal standing and inherited the dukedom of Taiping county.
