次日，孔融登城遥望，贼势浩大，倍添忧恼。忽见城外一人挺枪跃马杀入贼阵，左冲右突，如入无人之境，直到城下大叫：“开门！”孔融不识其人，不敢开门。贼众赶到河边，那人回身连搠十数人下马，贼众倒退，融急命开门引入。其人下马弃枪，迳到城上，拜见孔融。融问其姓名对曰：“某东莱黄县人也：覆姓太史，名慈，字子义。老母重蒙恩顾。某昨自辽东回家省亲，知贼寇城，老母说：‘屡受府君深恩，汝当往救。’某故单马而来。”孔融大喜。原来孔融与太史慈，虽未识面，却晓得他是个英雄。因他远出，有老母住在离城二十里之外，融常使人遣以粟帛；母感融德，故特使慈来救。The sight from the city wall was exceeding sad, for the rebels were there in enormous numbers. One day standing on the wall, Kong Rong saw afar a man armed with a spear riding hard in among the Yellow Scarves and scattering them before him like chaff before the wind. Before long the man had reached the foot of the wall and called out, "Open the gate!" But the defenders would not open to an unknown man, and in the delay a crowd of rebels gathered round the rider along the edge of the moat. Suddenly wheeling about, the warrior dashed in among them and bowled over a dozen at which the others fell back. At this Kong Rong ordered the wardens to open the gates and let the stranger enter. As soon as he was inside, he dismounted, laid aside his spear, ascended the wall, and made humble obeisance to the Governor. "My name is Taishi Ci, and I am from the county of Laihuang. I only returned home yesterday from the north to see my mother, and then I heard that your city was in danger from a rebel attack. My mother said you had been very kind to her and told me I should try to help. So I set out all alone, and here I am." This was cheering. Kong Rong already knew Taishi Ci by reputation as a valiant fighting man, although they two had never met. The son being far away from his home, Kong Rong had taken his mother, who dwelt a few miles from the city, under his especial protection and saw that she did not suffer from want. This had won the old lady's heart and she had sent her son to show her gratitude.
