《百战奇略·第十卷·好战》
隋朝在炀帝杨广统治时期，国家并不是不强大，人口也并不是不多，然而，由于杨广嗜好武力与战争，不断寻衅用兵，连年用兵征战，等到战争态势突变而出征高丽的隋军兵败辽东城下的时候，国内的祸乱由此而接连发生。这样悲惨的结局难道不为后世人所耻笑吗？唉！
隋之炀帝，国非不大，民非不众，嗜武好战，日寻干戈，征伐不休，及事变兵败辽城，祸起萧墙，岂不为后世笑乎？
During the reign of Emperor Sui Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the country was not weak and the population was not small. However, because Yang Guang was addicted to force and war, he constantly provoked and used troops to fight for years. When the war suddenly changed and the Sui army sent to conquer Goguryeo was defeated under the LIAODONG CITY, the domestic turmoil occurred one after another. Will the tragic ending not be laughed at by future generations? Alas!
