Haeron奚論
1Chandeok strikes a pagoda tree and dies
奚論，牟梁人也。其父讚德，有勇志英節，名高一時。建福二十七年庚午乙丑，眞平大王選為椵岑城縣令。明年辛未丙寅冬十月，百濟大發兵，來攻椵岑城一百餘日。眞平王命將，以上州、下州、新州之兵救之，遂往與百濟人戰不克，引還。讚德憤恨之，謂士卒曰：「三州軍帥見敵强不進，城危不救，是無義也。與其無義而生，不若有義而死。」乃激昻奮勵，且戰且守，以至粮盡水竭，而猶食屍飲尿，力戰不怠。至春正月，人旣疲，城將破，勢不可復完，乃仰天大呼曰：「吾王委我以一城，而不能全，為敵所敗，願死為大厲，喫盡百濟人，以復此城。」遂攘臂瞋目，走觸槐樹而死。於是，城陷，軍士皆降。奚論年二十餘歲，以父功，為大奈麻。至建福三十五四十年戊寅，王命奚論，為金山幢主，與漢山州都督邊品，興師襲椵岑城，取之。
Haeron was a man of Moryang. His father Chandeok had a brave will and a fine integrity, and his name stood high in his day.
In the twenty-seventh year of Geonbok, an eulchuk year, King Jinpyeong the Great chose him and made him magistrate of Gajamseong. The next year, a byeongin year, in the tenth month of winter, Baekje raised a great army and came and attacked Gajamseong for more than a hundred days. King Jinpyeong ordered his generals to save it with the troops of Sangju, Haju and Sinju. They went and fought the men of Baekje, but they could not win, and they led their men back.
Chandeok was angry and bitter at this, and said to his soldiers, "The commanders of the three provinces saw that the enemy was strong and did not advance, and the fortress was in danger and they did not save it. This is to be without right. Rather than live without right, it is better to die with right."
At this he was stirred and roused himself, and he fought and held the fortress at the same time, until the food was gone and the water dried up. Even then they ate the dead and drank urine, and he fought with all his strength and did not slacken.
When the first month of spring came the men were worn out and the fortress was about to break, and there was no way to make it whole again. Then he looked up to heaven and cried out loudly, "My king entrusted one fortress to me, and I could not keep it whole, and I am beaten by the enemy. I ask to die and become a great vengeful spirit, to eat up the men of Baekje and take this fortress back."
Then he bared his arm and glared with his eyes, and ran and struck a pagoda tree and died. With this the fortress fell, and the soldiers all surrendered.
Haeron was a little over twenty, and by his father's merit he was made daenama. In the fortieth year of Geonbok, a muin year, the king ordered Haeron to be commander of the Geumsan regiment, and with Byeonpum, the governor of Hansanju, he raised troops and fell upon Gajamseong and took it.
2Haeron dies on the spot where his father died
百濟聞之，擧兵來，奚論等逆之。兵旣相交，奚論謂諸將曰：「昔吾父殞身於此，我今亦與百濟人戰於此，是我死日也。」遂以短兵赴敵，殺數人而死。王聞之，為流涕，贈卹其家甚厚。時人無不哀悼，為作長歌弔之。
Baekje heard of this and raised troops and came, and Haeron and the others met them. When the troops had joined, Haeron said to the generals, "Long ago my father ended his life here, and now I too fight the men of Baekje here. This is the day of my death."
Then with a short weapon he went at the enemy, and he killed several men and died. The king heard of it and shed tears, and he gave to Haeron's house very generously and cared for it well. There was no one of that time who did not grieve and mourn, and they made a long song and sang it for him.
