張飛字益德，涿郡人也，少與關羽俱事先主。羽年長數歲，飛兄事之。先主從曹公破呂布，隨還計，曹公拜飛為中郎將。先主背曹公依袁紹、劉表。表卒，曹公入荊州，先主奔江南。曹公追之，一日一夜，及於當陽之長阪。

Reaching Jiāngzhōu, he defeated [Liú] Zhāng’s officer Bā prefecture Administrator Yán Yán, and captured alive [Yán] Yán. Fēi scolded [Yán] Yán: “The main army arrived, why did you not surrender but dare to oppose in battle?” [Yán] Yán replied: “You all are insolent, invading and seizing our province, our province only has Generals who lose heads, no Generals that surrender.” Fēi was furious, and ordered those around to drag him out and cut off his head. [Yán] Yán’s expression did not change, and he said: “Cutting off head is cutting off head, what is there to be angry about?” Fēi was impressed and released him, and brought him as guest retainer.

As you are loyal and resolute, comparable in legacy to Shào and Hǔ, reputation announced near and far, therefore specially reveal order, to raise you high and advance your rank, to simultaneously manage the capital.

先主為漢中王，拜飛為右將軍、假節。章武元年，遷車騎將軍，領司隸校尉，進封西鄉侯，策曰：「朕承天序，嗣奉洪業，除殘靖亂，未燭厥理。今寇虜作害，民被荼毒，思漢之士，延頸鶴望。朕用怛然，坐不安席，食不甘味，整軍誥誓，將行天罰。以君忠毅，侔蹤召、虎，名宣遐邇，故特顯命，高墉進爵，兼司于京。其誕將天威，柔服以德，伐叛以刑，稱朕意焉。詩不云乎，『匪疚匪棘，王國來極。肇敏戎功，用錫爾祉』。可不勉歟！」

Previously, Fēi was imposing and strong and bold and powerful, second to Guān Yǔ, and Wèi planning official Chéng Yù and others all appraised [Guān] Yǔ and Fēi as a match for ten thousand men. [Guān] Yǔ treated well soldiers and squads but was arrogant to scholar officials, Fēi favored and respected gentlemen but did not sympathize with petty men. Xiānzhǔ always warned him: “Your punishments and killing are excessive, and you also daily whip and beat strong warriors, yet have them as your nearby attendants, this is a path of seeking disaster.” Fēi however did not reform. When Xiānzhǔ campaigned against Wú, Fēi was about to lead troops of ten thousand men, to from Lángzhōng meet at Jiāngzhōu. When about to set out, his bannermen officers Zhāng Dá and Fàn Qiáng killed Fēi, taking his head, going downstream to flee to Sūn Quán. Fēi’s Camp Commander memorialized report to Xiānzhǔ.

初，飛雄壯威猛，亞於關羽，魏謀臣程昱等咸稱羽、飛萬人之敵也。羽善待卒伍而驕於士大夫，飛愛敬君子而不恤小人。先主常戒之曰：「卿刑殺既過差，又日鞭撾健兒，而令在左右，此取禍之道也。」飛猶不悛。先主伐吳，飛當率兵萬人，自閬中會江州。臨發，其帳下將張達、范彊殺飛，持其首，順流而奔孫權。飛營都督表報先主，先主聞飛都督之有表也，曰：「噫！飛死矣。」追諡飛曰桓侯。
