Full text and introduction of "Guo Lun"

Guo Lun Su Shi

No one knows the fierce warriors in Hexi. At sunset, they read the boats in Jinting. Passers-by only think that the horses are thin, but they don't know that the iron bars are as big as rafters.

Because there will be no war in the West for a long time, I am willing to be the first to fight. I should rely on Shi and my eyes to watch your flying arrows gather on the carpet.

Explanation:

Guo Lun was originally a well-known warrior in the Hexi area, but people today don’t recognize him. This former warrior only sat on the ferry in the evening, leisurely Pass the time watching the passing ships. Passers-by only saw him riding a thin blue and white horse, but they did not know that the spear he once used was as big as a rafter. Guo Lun said that the situation was like this because there had been no fighting in the border area for a long time. Once there was a war situation, he vowed to charge into the battle. At that time, I would wait and watch to see this warrior's arrows shoot towards the enemy's formation.

Gong Zi Lunben is an archer from Hexi. He has made meritorious service in many battles and will not be rewarded. Since the governor of Lizhou was full of officials, he was too poor to return. Now Quan is in charge of tax supervision in Jiazhou.

The annotations of Hao An Gong are slightly different in each version. Some of the old annotations quoted Gong's postscripts and then annotated them as self-annotations, while others took Gong's postscripts and made self-annotations. Now we will review them in detail.

Check the "Book of Han": At the beginning of Emperor Wu, the four counties of Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang and Wuwei were established. Emperor Zhao also established Jincheng County, making it the five counties of Hexi. Ouyang Di's "Yudi Guangji": Shaanxi Road Liangzhou, Han Wuwei County, Qianliang Zhanggui, Houliang Luguang are all based on this. In the second year of Tang Wude's reign, Liangzhou was established, and later changed to Hexi Jiedu. "History of the Song Dynasty·Bingzhi": Rural soldiers are selected from their household registrations and trained together for defense. In Baoyi, Shaanxi Province, in the eighth year of Kaibao's reign, the people of Pingliang and Panyuan counties became the city gods. Because they were appointed as Baoyi archers, they were also under the old Zhou system. It is reported that the assassination is for the Baojie Army, and Huanqing and Baoan are also assigned to their respective positions.
