迥少聰敏，美容儀。 From boyhood Yuchi Jiong was clever and handsome.

迥通敏有幹能，雖任兼文武，頗允時望。 Yuchi Jiong was quick-witted and capable; though his duties spanned civil and military affairs, he largely lived up to what the age expected of him.

唯迥以為紀旣盡銳東下，蜀必空虛，王師臨之，必有征無戰。 Only Yuchi Jiong argued that with Ji's best troops already marching east, Shu would be hollow; once the imperial army arrived, victory would come without a fight.

太祖深以為然，謂迥曰：「伐蜀之事，一以委汝，計將安出？」 Grand Progenitor Yuwen Tai strongly agreed and asked Yuchi Jiong: "The Shu campaign is entirely in your hands—what is your plan?"

迥曰：「蜀與中國隔絕百有餘年，恃其山川險阻，不虞我師之至。 Yuchi Jiong said: "Shu has been isolated from the heartland for over a century; trusting in its rugged terrain, it will not expect our army.

於是乃令迥督開府元珍、乙弗亞、 He then put Yuchi Jiong in command of opening-office Yuan Zhen, Yifu Ya,

六月，迥至潼州，大饗將士，引之而西。 In the sixth month Yuchi Jiong reached Tong Province, held a great feast for his troops, and marched west.

初，紀至巴郡，聞迥來侵，遣譙淹回師，為撝外援。 Earlier, when Ji reached Ba commandery and learned that Yuchi Jiong was invading, he sent Qiao Yan back with his army to reinforce Hui.

迥分遣元珍、乙弗亞等以輕騎破之，遂降。 Yuchi Jiong sent Yuan Zhen, Yifu Ya, and others with light cavalry to break them, and Qiao Yan surrendered.

撝前後戰數十合，皆為迥所破。 Xiao Hui fought dozens of engagements and was beaten every time by Yuchi Jiong.

撝與紀子宜都王肅，及其文武官屬，詣軍門請見，迥以禮接之。 Xiao Hui came with Xiao Ji's son, Prince Su of Yidu, and his civil and military staff to the camp gate to surrender; Yuchi Jiong received them with full courtesy.

詔迥為大都督、益潼等十八州諸軍事、益州刺史。 An edict made Yuchi Jiong grand commander over military affairs in eighteen provinces including Yi and Tong, and governor of Yi Province.

迥乃明賞罰，布恩威，綏緝新邦，經略未附，夷夏懷而歸之。 Yuchi Jiong then made rewards and punishments clear, combined kindness with authority, settled the newly conquered lands, reached out to those still unsubmitted, and won over both barbarian and Chinese alike.

迥性至孝，色養不怠。 Yuchi Jiong was profoundly filial and never slackened in keeping his mother's spirits up.

大長公主年高多病，迥往在京師，每退朝參候起居，憂悴形于容色。 The Grand Princess was old and often ill; when Yuchi Jiong was in the capital he visited her after every court session, and his face showed how worn he was with worry.

太祖知其至性，徵迥入朝，以慰其母意。 Knowing his deep filial devotion, Grand Progenitor Yuwen Tai summoned Yuchi Jiong to court to comfort his mother.

遣大鴻臚郊勞，仍賜迥袞冕之服。 He sent the grand master of ceremonies to welcome him with suburban honors and granted Yuchi Jiong the highest ceremonial robes.

孝閔踐阼，進位柱國大將軍。 When Emperor Xiaomin succeeded, Yuchi Jiong was raised to pillar of state and grand general.

又以迥有平蜀之功，同霍去病冠軍之義，封寧蜀公。 For pacifying Shu—an achievement likened to Huo Qubing's title Champion—he was enfeoffed Duke of Ningshu.

進蜀公，爵邑萬戶。 He was raised to Duke of Shu with a fief of ten thousand households.

宣帝即位，以迥為大前疑，出為相州總管。 When Emperor Xuan succeeded, Yuchi Jiong was made grand mentor and posted as governor-general of Xiang Province.

宣帝崩，隋文帝輔政，以迥望位夙重，懼為異圖，乃令迥子魏安公惇齎詔書以會葬徵迥。 After Emperor Xuan's death Yang Jian, later Emperor Wen of Sui, took power as regent; fearing that Yuchi Jiong, long eminent in rank and reputation, might plot against him, he sent Jiong's son Dun, Duke of Wei'an, with an edict summoning Jiong to the capital for the funeral.

尋以鄖公韋孝寬代迥為總管。 Soon Wei Xiaokuan, Duke of Yun, was sent to replace Yuchi Jiong as governor-general.

迥以隋文帝當權，將圖篡奪，遂謀舉兵，留惇而不受代。 Seeing that Yang Jian held power and meant to seize the throne, Yuchi Jiong plotted rebellion, kept Dun with him, and refused to yield his post.

隋文帝又使候正破六汗裒詣迥喻旨，密與總管府長史晉昶等書，令為之備。 Yang Jian also sent Houzheng Poliuhan Pu to explain the court's wishes to Yuchi Jiong, and secretly wrote to chief administrator Jin Chang and others at the governor-general's office telling them to stand ready.

迥聞之，殺長史及裒。 When Yuchi Jiong learned of this, he killed the chief administrator and Pu.

于時趙王招已入朝，留少子在國，迥又奉以號令。 Prince of Zhao Zhao was already at court, with a younger son left behind; Yuchi Jiong issued orders in the prince's name as well.

迥弟子勤，時為青州總管，亦從迥。 Yuchi Jiong's nephew Qin, then governor-general of Qing Province, joined him too.

迥所管相、衛、黎、毛、洺、貝、趙、冀、瀛、滄，勤所統青、膠、光、莒諸州，皆從之。 The provinces under Yuchi Jiong—Xiang, Wei, Li, Mao, Ming, Bei, Zhao, Ji, Ying, and Cang—and those under Qin—Qing, Jiao, Guang, and Ju—all rose with him.

滎州刺史邵公宇文冑、申州刺史李惠、東楚州刺史費也利進、東潼州刺史曹孝達，各據州以應迥。 Yuwen Zhou, Duke of Shao and governor of Xing Province; Li Hui of Shen Province; Feiye Lijin of East Chu Province; and Cao Xiaoda of East Tong Province each held his province for Yuchi Jiong.

迥又北結高寶寧以通突厥； Yuchi Jiong also allied in the north with Gao Baoning to open contact with the Turks;

隋文帝於是徵兵討迥，即以韋孝寬為元帥。 Yang Jian then raised armies against Yuchi Jiong and made Wei Xiaokuan supreme commander.

迥與子惇、佑等又悉其卒十三萬，陳于城南。 Yuchi Jiong mustered all his remaining strength—one hundred thirty thousand men—and formed battle lines south of the city with his sons Dun, You, and the rest.

迥別統萬人，皆綠巾錦襖，號曰黃龍兵。 Yuchi Jiong personally led ten thousand men in green headbands and brocade jackets, called the Yellow Dragon Army.

勤率衆五萬，自青州赴迥，以三千騎先到。 Qin marched fifty thousand men from Qing Province to Yuchi Jiong's aid, his three thousand horse arriving first.

迥舊習軍旅，雖老猶被甲臨陣。 Yuchi Jiong was a veteran of many campaigns; though aged, he still donned armor and took the field.

迥大敗，遂入鄴。 Yuchi Jiong was routed and fled into Ye.

迥走保北城，孝寬縱兵圍之。 Yuchi Jiong withdrew into the north city; Wei Xiaokuan unleashed his troops to besiege it.

迥上樓，射殺數人，乃自殺。 Yuchi Jiong climbed the tower, shot down several men, and then took his own life.

迥末年衰耄，惑於後妻王氏，而諸子多不睦。 In his last years Yuchi Jiong had grown feeble and senile, bewitched by his second wife, Lady Wang, while his sons were largely at odds with one another.

迥自起兵至敗，六十八日。 From the day Jiong raised troops until his defeat, sixty-eight days passed.

武德中，迥從孫庫部員外郎耆福上表，請改葬。 During Wude, Jiong's collateral descendant Qifu, a treasury-section exterior official, submitted a memorial asking that he be reburied.

朝議以迥忠於周室，有詔許之。 The court held that Jiong had been loyal to the Zhou house, and an edict granted the request.

隋文帝輔政，消難旣聞蜀公迥不受代，遂欲與迥合勢，亦舉兵應之。 When Yang Jian directed the government, Xiaonan, hearing that Duke of Shu Jiong refused to be replaced, intended to join forces with him and also raised troops in response.

史臣曰：尉遲迥地則舅甥，職惟台袞，沐恩累葉，荷睠一時，居形勝之地，受藩維之托，顛而不扶，憂責斯在。 The historiographer writes: Weichi Jiong was the emperor's nephew by marriage; in office he held the highest ministerial rank; generation after generation he bathed in grace and for a time bore the sovereign's favor; he occupied commanding ground and received the trust of a frontier guardian—when the dynasty tottered he did not hold it up, and the burden of worry was his to bear.
