[edit] Samguk Yusa
The text as it currently stands is at odds with the Samguk Yusa in a number of points (e.g., omitting various battles, whether the eldest son conspired or was closer to being a puppet, and, I believe, the running of the last battle, in which the K armies attacked the flanks, whose generals immediately surrendered, before the all-out attack on the main Hb body).

Specifically, it reads, [after T'ajeo had ordered his Koryeo forces to attack] " the right and left wings of the later Paekje force.... Learning that he [i.e., Sin-geom] was with the central body of his army, the King ordered general Kong-hwon to launch an attack on both flanks. This Kong-hwon did.... "King T'aejo treated them [Sin-geom and another brother] kindly and permitted them to come and lie with their families at his capital..." ( p. 156). Thus, Chin-hwon is not mentioned after it is said that he had accompanied the king in reviewing the troops just before the attack. Later (p. 157), Ilyon writes that Chin-hwon "died of rage, an ulcer bursting on his back" when T'ajeo accepted Sin-geom's surrender and repentance (since "he had not usurped the throne voluntarily but had been cajoled and forced into it by his villainous companions) and spared his life.
