吾聞聖人之兵有不戰,不戰之勝善之善。
況復良將握天威,西戎雖強安得擅。
憶昔屬國羽書聞,中宴徹酒詔圖勳。
丞相陳謀御史請,獨可遣將誅其君。
吏民詿誤不足治,我以威德周無垠。
尚書侍郎盡明哲,秉鉞載旆如火烈。
羽林積卒眀號令,賊兵蹙戚憂巢穴。
方春緩誅已偷息,天不假易行勦絕。
太常請獻象功舞,史臣願勒西山岊。
懸頭藁街敕狂慢,積粟金城撫疲苶。
西戎行,告爾勿逆果自坑,百蠻來威天下平。

西戎行,告爾勿逆果自坑,百蠻來威天下平。
我聽說聖人的軍隊有不戰之法,
不戰而勝是善中之善。
何況良將掌握著天威,
西戎雖然強大,怎能擅自妄爲?
回憶昔日屬國羽書傳來警報,
宴飲中途撤去酒席,詔令謀劃功勳。
丞相陳述謀略,御史請求,
認爲只可派遣將領誅殺其君。
吏民被牽連的錯誤不必深究治理,
我將以威德周遍無邊。
尚書侍郎都賢明睿智,
秉持斧鉞,載著旌旗,如火般熾烈。
羽林軍士卒明了號令,
賊兵憂愁窘迫,擔憂巢穴。
正值春天,緩行誅伐,敵人已偷得喘息,
天不寬假,將要進行剿滅。
太常請求進獻象徵功績的舞蹈,
史臣願意刻碑於西山之巔。
懸頭於藁街以懲戒狂慢,
積粟於金城以撫慰疲敝。
西戎啊,前行吧,
告誡你們不要違逆,否則自陷坑塹,
百蠻前來畏服,天下太平。
I've heard the sage's army does not fight,
The victory without war is the height.
Moreover, with fine generals holding heaven's might,
How can the Western Rong presume to claim the right?
I recall when vassal states sent urgent plea,
The feast was halted, plans for merit set decree.
The Chancellor devised, the Censor made request,
That only sending generals would serve the best.
Officials' errors need no harsh decree,
I'll spread my awe and virtue boundlessly.
Ministers and Vice-Ministers, all wise and bright,
Bear axes, raise banners, blazing like firelight.
Imperial guards, well-drilled, commands are clear,
The rebel troops, distressed, their dens in fear.
In spring, slow punishment allowed a breath,
Heaven grants no ease, we'll cut them to the death.
The Grand Ceremonial seeks a dance of might,
The scribes would carve the western peaks in sight.
Hang heads on Gaostreet, curb the wild and vain,
Store grain in Golden Town, soothe toil and pain.
O Western Rong, take heed, do not defy,
Lest you dig your own pit, and thereby,
All tribes will come in awe, the world at peace will lie.
不戰而勝是最高層次的戰略博弈智慧。
闡述聖人用兵以不戰而勝爲最高境界的軍事思想。
