Requesting a High Minister to Gather the Troops East of Pyongyang請遣宰臣一人收拾平壤以東軍兵状
平壤以東成川祥原江東慈山順川殷山价川寧邊熙川雲山寧遠德川孟山等地號令不通守宰逃散收拾之事一刻爲急使有智慮宰臣一人不分晝夜馳去召集軍兵出於平壤之東而大兵從北面蹙之因及時傳諭于黃海江原京畿以南使其隨處設伏要截賊路此最爲今日之大計故敢此再達
In Seongcheon (成川), Sangwon (祥原), Gangdong (江東), Jasan (慈山), Suncheon (順川), Eunsan (殷山), Gaecheon (价川), Yeongbyeon (寧邊), Huicheon (熙川), Unsan (雲山), Yeongwon (寧遠), Deokcheon (德川), Maengsan (孟山) and those parts east of Pyeongyang, command does not reach and the magistrates have fled and scattered; the gathering of them in is urgent by the hour.
To have one high minister of wisdom and judgment hasten there without regard for day or night, call the troops together and bring them out east of Pyeongyang, while the great host presses in from the north; and at the same time, in good season, to make it known to Hwanghae, Gangwon and the country south of Gyeonggi so that ambushes may be set in place after place to cut the enemy's roads — this is the greatest plan of the present day. Therefore your servant ventures thus to submit it again.
