金元述(김원술,?-?)是新罗名将金庾信的次子，伺服于新罗皇朝第三十位统治者文武王。公元668年，助国王征服高句丽与百济后，成为对抗唐朝侵略军的主力。
背景
金元述为金庾信将军次子，是朝鲜半岛古驾洛国开国始祖首露王的直系后裔。金元述原是新罗的一名花郎，在新唐联军攻陷高句丽的时候，荣升为一名下级的将领。
统一战争
公元660年，百济被新罗和唐朝的联军灭亡。公元668年，高句丽王国也为新罗和唐朝的联军所灭。统一战争期间，金庾信将军一跃成为新罗最伟大的将领。公元672年，元述将军与Baeksu 城堡附近与唐朝军队作战。起初，新罗军略占优势。然而，在他们追击唐朝军队的时候却落入了圈套，并因此损失了7位将军和无数士兵。当元述意识到败局不可避免时，他准备冒死冲入敌军防线，但是他的属下阻止他道，“死亡对于勇士来说并不难，难的是如何选择死亡的时间。死得毫无价值不如（活着）待来日再复仇。”元述答道：“人不可屈辱苟活。”于是便跨马扬鞭而去。然而，他的手下死死抓住马的缰绳不放，元述无法死在战场上，只得回到庆州。

放逐与救赎
愤怒的金庾信将军请求文武王处死自己那不争气的儿子。他对该处决极其严肃，因为新罗在此战中损失了多达7位的将军。然而，文武王拒绝处罚元述，他说道：“我不能把失败归咎于一位下级将领。”感到十分羞愧的元述不敢面对父亲，于是隐居于一个隐蔽的地方。
公元 673年6月，有人看到几十个身穿盔甲手持武器的士兵哭喊着从庾信府中出来，随后便消失得无影无踪。听说这件怪事，庾信说道：“他们是守护我的天兵。如今，我运数已尽，死期不远了。”公元 673年7月1日，金庾信将军与世长辞，享年79岁。 元述回家参加父亲的葬礼，而他母亲却将他拒之门外，尽管他是被误当成懦夫的。她说：“我如何接受一个不为自己父亲认可的儿子呢?”元述痛哭欲绝，回到了自己的藏身之处。
公元 675年9月，元述回去抗击唐朝侵略军。战场上，他表现英勇，视死如归。结果，他大败唐军。战后，他本应回庆州接受嘉赏，但是他并未回去，而是走入深山，去忏悔自己对双亲的不孝。
去世
金元述余生都在深山中度过，时常挨饿，最终英年早逝，年份不详。

----The End----
附原文
Kim Won-Sul (김원술) (?-?) was a son of the Silla General Kim Yusin, and served under Silla's 30th ruler, King Munmu the Great, and played a major role in defending the kingdom against Tang invaders after the conquest of both Goguryeo and Baekje by the year 668.
Background
Kim Won-Sul was the second son of General Kim Yu-Sin, and direct descendant of King Suro, the founder of Geumgwan Gaya. Kim Won-Sul was a member of the Silla Jinggol class, and rose to the rank of Low-level general by the time of Goguryeo's fall to the Silla-Tang Alliance.
"Unification Wars"
In 660, the kingdom of Baekje fell to the armies of the Silla-Tang Alliance. Baekje was then followed by the kingdom of Goguryeo, which fell in 668 to the Silla-Tang Alliance as well. General Kim Yu-Sin's reputation as the greatest general of Silla rose during these "Unification Wars".
General Won-Sul was near Baeksu Castle in August of the year 672, fighting Tang troops. Silla troops seemed to be winning the battle at the beginning. However, they chased the retreating Chinese troops and fell into a trap that killed seven generals and countless soldiers. As Wonsul realized that defeat was unavoidable, he prepared to die by jumping into the enemy lines. His staff, however, blocked him and said, “It is not difficult for a brave man to die. What’s more difficult is to choose when to die. Dying worthless is worse than revenging later." Wonsul answered, “A man never lives a humiliating life" and then whipped his horse to make a dash. His staff, however, held the horse by the bridle and did not let go. Wonsul could not die at the battle and returned to Gyeongju.
Abandonment and Redemption
Outraged, Yusin asked King Munmu to execute his shameful son. He was extremely serious about the execution, because Silla lost as many as seven generals in the battle. King Munmu, however, refused to punish Wonsul by saying, “I can’t blame the defeat on a low-level officer." Being ashamed of himself and afraid of facing his father, Wonsul hid in a secluded area.
In June 673, people witnessed several dozen crying soldiers in armour with weapons in their hands walking out of Yusin’s home. Then, they vanished without a trace. Hearing about the strange incident, Yusin said, “They were the heavenly guardian soldiers who protected me. Now, my luck ran out. I shall die very soon." On July 1, 673, General Yusin Kim died at the age of 79.
Wonsul returned home to attend his father's funeral. However, his mother rejected him, although he was wrongfully accused of being a coward. She said, “How can I be the mother of a son who was not a son to his father." Wonsul cried and returned to his hiding place.
In September 675, Wonsul returned to fight the Invading Tang. He fought as if anxious to die on the battle field. As a result, he achieved a great victory over the Tang troops. When the war was over, he was scheduled to be highly awarded in Gyeongju. He, however, never returned to Gyeongju and went deep into the mountains regretting his impiety to his parents.
Death
Kim Won-Sul spent the rest of his days, starving in the mountains, and died in an unknown year at an early age.

好人…

真会编啊，还有英文，自己编写自己翻译英文的是吧。你真适合做小说家
问题：
1，即为将军之子，战败后未被处死，反倒逃入深山做逃兵；
2，673年，自己79岁的父亲去世，自己在老爹78岁的时候，做了逃兵，最后儿子还是英年早逝，那这老爹得是多大岁数生得着儿子啊；
3，自己国家持续战乱，身为将领战败未被问罪，反倒跑进深山，不去作战，鬼信这样的货色不是逃兵啊；
4，自己国家的皇帝在自己国家的正史里，玩命的说自己的国家打败了敌人，而破敌的人还是曾经做了逃兵的将领，一个皇帝如此高风亮节的对待一个自己曾经赦免的，而且之后又立了重大战功的逃兵，这是一个多好的机会去宣传自己是个多么明智和大度的皇帝啊；可是为什么自己国家的史料里，连这个逃兵的名字，半个字都没出现啊，如此爱面子的皇帝会放了这么好的机会吗；还是说为了要使自己在正史里，编写的所谓的大破敌军更为真实，所以不得不必须有的有和有的没有，才可以使自己编的历史，更为顺理成章啊
