Report on the Measures Taken for the Army Grain at Cheongnyongpo處置靑龍浦軍糧狀
唐兵退去緣由臣已爲狀。啓勝敗兵家常事况唐將不無輕敵之心以至於此極爲痛惋三縣之糓輸到靑龍浦事當初意唐兵直進過江恐前途糧餉難繼故有此處置今則事勢如此師期遲速難可預期故臣通文於金信元使之量勢處之以唐人所言觀之則楊總兵之軍似當繼爲來到自義州以南糧料之需亦應再加料理然後可以支給臣亦留此無益更觀事勢爲之進退計料
The circumstances of the Ming troops' withdrawal your servant has already set forth in a dispatch. Victory and defeat are the common lot of soldiering, yet the Ming commanders were not without a mind that made light of the enemy, and so it came to this; it is deeply grievous and lamentable.
As for having the grain of the three districts shipped to Cheongnyongpo (靑龍浦), this was arranged at the outset because we supposed the Ming troops would advance straight on and cross the river, and feared that provisions along the road ahead would be hard to keep up. Now that matters stand as they do, it is hard to fix beforehand whether the time for raising the army will come early or late. Your servant has therefore sent a dispatch to Kim Sinwon (金信元) bidding him weigh the situation and deal with it.
Judging from what the Ming men say, the troops of Commander Yang (楊總兵) seem likely to come on in succession. The provisions south of Uiju must also be further prepared before they can be supplied. There is nothing to be gained by your servant's remaining here, so he plans to watch the situation again and then advance or withdraw.
