The north of Zhuo was connected to the Xianbei, and it often had incursions and raids. [Wang] Guan ordered over ten families of the border people to garrison together and build a watchtower. At the time, there were some unwilling to do so, thus [Wang] Guan sent officials claiming to be from court ordering them to let them [the officials] come and take care of their younger relatives but did not give out any scheduled meetings [for the border people to meet them]. But there was an imperial edict stating that once the matter were finished, each of them [the younger relatives] could return. Thus, the people urged themselves without any supervision one by one, and within a matter of days, everything was built at once. With the defenses prepared, the raiding stopped. When the Bright Emperor ascended the throne, he issued an edict ordering commanderies and counties to order themselves [from] troublesome, average, and peaceful. A registrar wanted to say that the commandery was average or peaceful, but [Wang] Guan advised them, saying, "The borders of this commandery are near foreign invaders, and it has been raided and damaged several times. How can one say it is not being troublesome?" The registrar said, "If the commandery is viewed as a far-away troublesome one, I fear that you would have your son a hostage." [Wang] Guan said, "A lord is who is used to govern the people. Now that my commandery is troublesome, then I will submit and order according to the differences between highs and lows. How can I serve my own interests while betraying the people of this commandery?" And so he said [he governed a] far-away troublesome commandery, and later sent his son as a hostage to Ye. At the time, [Wang] Guan only had one son who was very young. His fair heart was like this.
The north of Zhuo was connected to the Xianbei, and it often had incursions and raids. [Wang] Guan ordered [the settlements] of the border people with ten families or more to temporarily relocate and build a watchtower [in suitable places]. At the time, there were some unwilling to do so, thus [Wang] Guan sent officials claiming to be from court ordering them to let them [the officials] come and take care of their younger relatives but did not give out any scheduled meetings [for the border people to meet them].

[Wang] Guan said, "A lord is one who acts for [the benefit of] the people. Now that my commandery is [graded to be] distant and troublesome, then the obligations of labor [assigned to the people] will be reduced correspondingly. How can I serve my own interests while betraying the people of this commandery?" And so he said [he governed a] distant and troublesome commandery, and later sent his son as a hostage to Ye. At the time, [Wang] Guan only had one son who was very young. His public heart was like this [by placing emphasis on the people than his own family]. [Wang] Guan was pure and plain in his own behavior and led his subordinates [as a model of] frugality; of his officials who imitated his style, none of them did not practice self-discipline.
涿北接鮮卑，數有寇盜，觀令邊民十家已上，屯居，築京候。時或有不願者，觀乃假遣朝吏，使歸助子弟，不與期會，但勑事訖各還。於是吏民相率不督自勸，旬日之中，一時俱成。守禦有備，寇鈔以息。明帝即位，下詔書使郡縣條為劇、中、平者。主者欲言郡為中平，觀教曰：「此郡濵近外虜，數有寇害，云何不為劇邪？」主者曰：「若郡為外劇，恐於明府有任子。」觀曰：「夫君者，所以為民也。今郡在外劇，則於役條當有降差。豈可為太守之私而負一郡之民乎？」遂言為外劇郡，後送任子詣鄴。時觀但有一子而又幼弱。其公心如此。觀治身清素，帥下以儉，僚屬承風，莫不自勵。
