今年城保寨,明年城瓜州。
寇来不能御,贼去欲自囚。
伟哉淮南镇,禹贡之扬州。
念昔蕞尔虏,马棰轻江流。
翠华离金陵,人有李郭不。
幸被帐下儿,一箭毙其酋。
帝羓有遗臭,鲜血粘髑髅。
败军惨无主,蛇豕散莫收。
势当截归路,尽与俘馘休。
甲兵洗黄河,境土尽白沟。
天予弃不取,区区乃人谋。
金帛输东南,礼事昆夷优。
参差女墙月,深夜照敌楼。
泊船运河口,颇为执事羞。

参差女墙月,深夜照敌楼。
泊船运河口,颇为执事羞。
今年在城保寨修筑防御工事,
明年又要在瓜州筑城。
敌人来了无法抵御,
贼寇退去后却想把自己囚禁起来。
雄伟的淮南镇啊,
是《禹贡》中记载的扬州之地。
想起昔日那微不足道的敌人,
竟敢挥鞭轻易渡过长江。
天子的车驾离开金陵,
朝中可有李靖、郭子仪那样的将才?
幸亏帐下有一位少年,
一箭射毙了他们的首领。
敌酋的尸骸遗臭万年,
鲜血还粘在那骷髅之上。
败军惨痛,失去了主帅,
像蛇和猪一样四散,无法收拢。
本应当截断他们的归路,
将他们全部俘虏或斩杀。
洗净甲兵于黄河,
将疆土拓展到白沟。
上天赐予的机会不去把握,
这区区计谋只是人的打算。
将金帛输送到东南,
用优厚的礼节侍奉昆夷之族。
参差不齐的女墙映着月光,
深夜照耀着敌人的城楼。
我将船停泊在运河口,
深深为执政者们感到羞耻。
This year, a fortress at Chengbao we raise;
Next year, a wall at Guazhou we'll build.
When foes arrive, we cannot hold the ground;
When thieves depart, we'd lock ourselves in cage.
How grand, the Huainan garrison town!
The Yangzhou land in Yu Gong's ancient page.
Recall those puny northern tribes of old,
Whose horsewhips lightly crossed the river's flow.
The royal carriage left Jinling, the capital cold—
Did we have generals like Li and Guo to show?
Luckily, a lad beneath the tent,
Shot down their chieftain with a single dart.
The emperor's corpse left a stench, vile and spent,
Fresh blood still clinging to the skull, a ghastly part.
Defeated troops, bereft of lord, in disarray,
Like snakes and swine, dispersed, none could restrain.
We should have cut their retreat, held them at bay,
And captured all, to end this war and pain.
Wash armor in the Yellow River, make it clean,
Extend our border to the Baigou trench.
Heaven's gift we spurn, a foolish, mortal scheme,
To the southeast, silk and gold we send, a lavish stench.
With rites we treat the Kunyi tribes, a courteous show,
The crenelated wall, the moonbeams cast a jagged light,
Deep in the night, they shine upon the watchtower's foe.
Moored at the mouth of Yunhe, I feel shame in my plight,
For those in charge, this failure is a blight.
连年筑城是军事博弈的周期体现。
连年筑城,反映边塞战事频繁与守土之责。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
