Excerpt from The History of Korea, Vol. 2 Gen. Yi started for P'yfing-yang with his whole army, bags of rice and pounds of powder. His troops Were not provided with muskets but they had small cannon. The Japanese on the other hand had muskets but no cannon. Upon the arrival of the Chinese at. Ah-ju they were met by the Prime Minister, Yu St'mg-nvi'mg, who laid before Gen. Yi a map showing the roads leading to P yang-yang. Gen. Yi took red ink and indicated on the map the various routes by which he intended to lead his forces to that city. Calling Gen. Sa Ta-su he sent him forward to deceive the Japanese by saying that a few Chinese had come to effect a peaceful solution of the difficulty. The Japanese were pleased at this and sent twenty of their people to meet, as they supposed, Sim Yu gyi'mg at Su-an. Gen. Sa feasted them there but meanwhile had the place surrounded and in the midst of the banquet the Japanese were treacherously assaulted and cut down, only three escaping. From these the Japanese learned of the hos tile intentions of the Chinese and'were greatly disturbed, but being forewarned they put themselves in readiness for an assault.
