四年，陳寶應與留異連結，又遣兵隨周迪更出臨川，世祖遣信義太守余孝頃自海道襲晉安，文季為之前軍，所向克捷。 In the fourth year Chen Baoying allied with Liu Yi and sent troops with Zhou Di against Linchuan again. Emperor Wen sent Yu Xiaoqing, administrator of Xinyi, by sea against Jin'an with Wenji as vanguard. Everywhere they went they prevailed.

陳寶應平，文季戰功居多，還，轉府諮議參軍，領中直兵。 When Baoying was suppressed Wenji's battle merit stood first. On return he was made advisory military adjutant of the staff, still commanding the central straight guard.

四年，陳寶應納周迪，復共寇臨川，又以昭達為都督討迪。 In year four Chen Baoying sheltered Zhou Di and they raided Linchuan again; Zhaoda was again made area commander against Di.

昭達仍踰嶺，頓于建安，以討陳寶應。 Zhaoda then crossed the mountains, camped at Jian'an, and marched against Chen Baoying.

寶應據建安、晉安二郡之界，水陸為柵，以拒官軍。 Baoying held the border of Jian'an and Jin'an commanderies with stockades on land and water against the imperial army.

寶應數挑戰，昭達按甲不動。 Baoying repeatedly challenged him to battle; Zhaoda held his troops still.

俄而暴雨，江水大長，昭達放筏衝突寶應水柵，水柵盡破。 Soon a violent storm swelled the river; Zhaoda sent the rafts to smash Baoying's water stockades and broke them all.

又出兵攻其步軍。 He also sent troops to attack Baoying's infantry.

適至，因并力乘之，寶應大潰，遂克定閩中，盡擒留異、寶應等。 He arrived in time; together they pressed the attack; Baoying was routed; they pacified Minzhong and seized Liu Yi, Baoying, and the rest.

尋奉使往東陽、晉安，招撫留異、陳寶應等。 He was soon sent to Dongyang and Jin'an to bring Liu Yi, Chen Baoying, and others over.

Book of Chen, Chapter 19Volume 19: Shen Jiong; Yu Li; Ma Shu · 19 passages

時荔第二弟寄寓於閩中，依陳寶應，荔每言之輒流涕。 At the time Li's second younger brother Ji was staying in Min under Chen Baoying; whenever Li spoke of it he wept.

乃敕寶應求寄，寶應終不遣。 He then ordered Baoying to send Ji back, but Baoying never sent him.

時陳寶應據有閩中，得寄甚喜。 At the time Chen Baoying held Minzhong and was delighted to get Ji.

高祖平侯景，寄勸令自結，寶應從之，乃遣使歸誠。 When the Founder pacified Hou Jing, Ji urged Baoying to bind himself to him. Baoying followed the advice and sent an envoy to offer allegiance.

承聖元年，除和戎將軍、中書侍郎，寶應愛其才，託以道阻不遣。 In Chengsheng year 1 (552), Ji was appointed general who harmonizes with the Rong and secretariat gentleman. Baoying admired his talent and, claiming the roads were blocked, did not send him.

每欲引寄為僚屬，委以文翰，寄固辭，獲免。 Whenever Baoying tried to bring Ji in as a subordinate and entrust writings and documents to him, Ji firmly declined and was spared.

及寶應結婚留異，潛有逆謀，寄微知其意，言說之際，每陳逆順之理，微以諷諫，寶應輒引說他事以拒之。 When Baoying allied by marriage with Liu Yi he secretly harbored rebellion; Ji faintly knew it and in talk always stated the logic of obedience and rebellion, subtly admonishing; Baoying always turned to other matters.

又嘗令左右誦漢書，臥而聽之，至蒯通說韓信曰「相君之背，貴不可言」，寶應蹶然起曰「可謂智士」。 He once had his attendants read the Book of Han aloud while he listened from his couch. When they reached Kuai Tong's advice to Han Xin—"If you turn your back on Han, your rank will be beyond words"—Baoying sprang up and exclaimed, "A truly wise man!"

寄知寶應不可諫，慮禍及己，乃為居士服以拒絕之。 Ji knew Baoying could not be admonished and feared disaster; he wore lay believer's robes to refuse him.

常居東山寺，偽稱腳疾，不復起，寶應以為假託，使燒寄所臥屋，寄安臥不動。 He dwelt at East Mountain Temple, falsely claiming foot ailment and not rising; Baoying thought it pretense and burned Ji's sleeping house; Ji lay still.

寶應自此方信。 From this Baoying then believed.

及留異稱兵，寶應資其部曲，寄乃因書極諫曰： When Liu Yi raised troops Baoying supplied his command; Ji therefore wrote a letter admonishing to the utmost:

寶應覽書大怒。 Baoying read the letter and flew into a rage.

或謂寶應曰：「虞公病勢漸篤，言多錯謬。」 Someone told Baoying, "Lord Yu's illness is worsening; his words are mostly confused."

寶應意乃小釋。 Baoying's anger eased somewhat.

及寶應敗走，夜至蒲田，顧謂其子扞秦曰：「早從虞公計，不至今日。」 When Baoying was defeated and fled, he reached Putian by night and said to his son Han Qin, "Had we followed Lord Yu's counsel sooner, we would not be here today."

寶應既擒，凡諸賓客微有交涉者，皆伏誅，唯寄以先識免禍。 When Baoying was taken, every guest who had had dealings with him was executed; only Ji, through prior acquaintance, escaped.

初，沙門慧摽涉獵有才思，及寶應起兵，作五言詩以送之，曰：「送馬猶臨水，離旗稍引風，好看今夜月，當入紫微宮。」 Earlier the monk Huibiao was widely read and clever. When Baoying took up arms, Huibiao sent him a five-character poem: "Horses still water the parting stream; banners catch the wind; see how tonight's moon should enter the Purple Forbidden Palace."

寶應得之甚悅。 Baoying was delighted with it.

Book of Chen, Chapter 22Volume 22: Lu Zilong, Qian Daoji, Luo Ya · 3 passages

四年，周迪引陳寶應復出臨川，子隆隨都督章昭達討迪。 In the fourth year, Zhou Di brought Chen Baoying back into the field at Linchuan, and Zilong joined Commander Zhang Zhaoda's campaign against him.

迪退走，因隨昭達踰東興嶺，討陳寶應。 After Di retreated, Zilong followed Zhaoda across Dongxing Ridge to attack Chen Baoying.

寶應據建安之湖際以拒官軍，子隆與昭達各據一營，昭達先與賊戰，不利，亡其鼓角，子隆聞之，率兵來救，大破賊徒，盡獲昭達所亡羽儀甲仗。 Baoying held the lakeside at Jian'an against the government army, while Zilong and Zhaoda occupied separate camps. Zhaoda engaged first, was defeated, and lost his drums and horns; Zilong heard of it, led troops to the rescue, routed the rebels, and recovered all the insignia, armor, and equipment Zhaoda had lost.
