晋人归楚公子谷臣与连尹襄老之尸于楚,以求知䓨。于是荀首佐中军矣,故楚人许之。
王送知䓨曰:「子其怨我乎?对曰:「二国治戎,臣不才,不胜其任,以为俘馘。执事不以衅鼓,使归即戮,君之惠也。臣实不才,又谁敢怨。王曰:「然则德我乎。对曰:「二国图其社稷,而求纾其民。各惩其忿,以相宥也。两释累囚,以成其好。{{*|去声,}}二国有好,臣不与及,其谁敢德。王曰:「子归,何以报我。对曰:「臣不任受怨,君亦不任受德,无怨无德,不知所报。王曰:「虽然,必告不谷。对曰:「以君之灵,累臣得归骨于晋,寡君之以为戮,死且不朽。若从君惠而免之,以赐君之外臣首,首其请于寡君,而以戮于宗,亦死且不朽。若不获命,而使嗣宗职,次及于事,而帅偏师以修封疆,虽遇执事,其弗敢违。其竭力致死,无有二心,以尽臣礼,所以报也。王曰:「晋未可与争。重为之礼而归之。
玩篇首于是荀首佐中军矣,故楚人许之二语,便见楚有不得不许之意。德我报我,全是捉官路,当私情也。楚王句句逼入,知䓨句句撇开。末一段所对非所问,尤匪夷所思。
