Translation
When I was drunk, I lit up the lamp and read the sword, and I dreamed of blowing the trumpet company. Eight hundred miles away, the soldiers under the command are burning, the sound of fifty-stringed strings is heard outside the Great Wall, and the troops are ordered in autumn on the battlefield.
In a drunken dream, I turned on the oil lamp and looked at the sword, and in a trance, I went back to the past, and horns sounded continuously in various military camps. Distribute the roasted beef to your subordinates and let the musical instruments play majestic military music to boost morale. This is autumn military parade on the battlefield.
The horse is moving very fast, and the bow is shaking like a thunderbolt. Finish the affairs of the king and the world, and win the reputation during and after death. Misfortune happens in vain!
The war horses ran as fast as Luma, and the bows and arrows shook the ears like thunder. I wholeheartedly want to complete the great task of recovering the lost land of the country for the monarch and gain a good reputation that will be passed down from generation to generation. When I woke up from a dream, it was a pity that I had gray hair!
