孟达知刘封扯书斩使，勃然大怒，亦领兵出迎。两阵对圆，封立马于门旗下。以刀指骂曰：“背国反贼，安敢乱言！”
Translation:
Upon learning that Liu Feng’s banner was raised, Meng Da immediately learned from his nephew of Liu Feng’s rebellion against him and was furious. He also led his troops out to meet Liu Feng. The two armies faced each other, with Liu Feng standing in front of the gate with a sword pointed at him, shouting, “Traitors betray the country! How dare you speak!” Meng Da replied, “Your end is near; still you cling to your delusions!” Hearing this, Liu Feng, angry, rode over to attack Meng Da. In no time, Meng Da was defeated and retreated, allowing Liu Feng to pursue him for more than twenty miles. As he heard the shouts of an attack by hidden troops, he ordered his army to attack again. Meng Da turned back to fight. Both sides were attacked, but Liu Feng’s army was greatly defeated in battle and fled back to Shang Yong. Back in their camp, the pursuing forces closed in. Upon entering the city, they saw crossbows being fired at them. Shen Dan shouted from the enemy tower, “I have surrendered to the Wei!” Meng Da, furious, wanted to attack the city. However, the pursuing force was approaching too close, and Meng Da could not stand it. He had to flee west to Fanling, where he saw the city walls fully decorated with the Wei flag. Xu Yang waved his flag as the Wei forces came to reinforce him. Meng Da, unable to hold back his forces, hurriedly retreated to Huaqiang. Xu Yang followed closely behind. Only a hundred or so men survived when Liu Feng arrived in Chengdu and entered to see Hanzhong King, crying, “Why should I face shame returning to your court?” Hanzhong King angrily said, “You were not present to save me when my nephew Liu Feng was facing danger, because Meng Da opposed me.” Liu Feng quickly apologized, “Uncle, the peril was not because of me. It was due to Meng Da who advised me against it,” Hanzhong King suddenly became angry and said, “Do you think you are a real man? Can you listen to treachery and obstruction by others?” He then ordered someone to execute him. After Hanzhong King’s death with Meng Da dead beside him, later, upon learning of Meng Da’s plot to recruit him, Hanzhong King regretted this decision and lamented over Guan Yu’s death due to illness. Thus, Hanzhong remained inactive.

译文：
孟达得知刘封扯书斩使，勃然大怒，也领兵出迎。两军相对，刘封立即在门旗下举刀指着他骂道：“背叛国家的叛贼，竟敢胡言！”孟达回答说：“你的末日已经来临，你竟然还坚持你的疯狂！”刘封大怒，拍马冲向孟达。战斗不到三个回合，孟达战败逃窜，刘封乘胜追杀了二十多里。他大声叫喊，所有埋伏的士兵都出动了，左边的夏侯尚杀了出来，右边的徐晃也杀了过来，刘封转身回来继续战斗。三军一起进攻，刘封大败逃跑，连夜回到上庸，背后魏军追赶而来。刘封来到城门下敲门，守城的乱箭射了下来。申耽在敌楼上叫道：“我已经投降了魏！”刘封大怒，想要攻打这座城，但身后的追兵越来越近，刘封站不住了脚，只好往房陵方向逃跑，看见城墙上都插上了魏军的旗帜。申仪在敌楼上挥动旗帜，城后的一队士兵冲出，旗帜上写着“右将军徐晃”。刘封抵挡不住，急忙逃向西川。刘封的部下只剩下一百多个骑兵。到达成都后，向汉中王请罪哭泣，详细报告了之前的事情。刘备大怒说：“你有什么脸面再见到我？”刘封说：“叔父的灾难，如果不是我救的话，是孟达劝谏阻止的。”刘备转怒为喜说：“你吃人食、穿人手衣服，不是木头做的木偶，怎么可以听从奸诈小人的劝阻呢!”命令左右推出斩首。汉中王既斩了刘封，后来听说孟达招揽了他，破坏了书信和使者的行为，心里很后悔；又哀悼关羽的死亡，导致自己生病。因此按兵不动。
赏析：
此诗通过描绘战争场面和人物情感变化，展示了战争的残酷和人性的复杂。诗中的刘封和孟达都是蜀汉的重要人物，但他们的行为却截然不同。刘封被描绘成一名忠诚的将军，他在战场上英勇善战，但在权力争夺中却被人利用。而孟达则是一个充满智慧和谋略的人，他的计谋最终导致了刘封的失败。这首诗通过对这两个人物的描写，表达了作者对于忠诚与背叛、勇敢与懦弱等主题的思考和感慨。同时，这首诗的语言简洁明了，充满了历史感和戏剧性，让人读来感到震撼和深思。它不仅是一首战争诗，更是一篇关于人性和社会的深刻反思。
