Note 1 — Chapter XII · The Prefect Tʻao Thrice Offers His Charge: Tsʻao Tsʻao Fights A Great Battle.
C. H. (Charles Henry) Brewitt-Taylor translation
“I am named Hsü Chʻu, and by my near friends called Chungkʻang. I am from Chao.1 When the rebellion broke out I and my relations built a stronghold within a rampart for protection. One day the robbers came but I had stones ready for them. I told my relatives to keep on bringing them up to me and I threw them, hitting somebody every time I threw. This drove off the robbers.”
