《淵騫卷第十一 - Yuan and Qian》 | English translation: Jeffrey S. Bullock [?] | Library Resources |
| 10 | 淵騫卷第... : | 或問：「蒙恬忠而被誅，忠奚可為也？」曰：「塹山堙谷，起臨洮，擊遼水，力不足而死有餘，忠不足相也。」 |
| Yuan and Qian: |
Someone asked: Meng Tian was loyal to the Qin and yet he was executed. What good is loyalty? Yangzi said: In building the Great Wall, he dug trenches through the mountains and dammed up gorges, beginning from Lin Tao and reaching Liao Shui. His accomplishments were not sufficient and the number of corpses was excessive. His loyalty is not worth admiring. |
