《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪三》
臣司马光曰：汉高祖刘邦从丰、沛起事以来，网罗强横有势力的人，招纳逃亡反叛的人，也已经是相当多的了。
臣光曰：高祖起丰、沛以来，罔罗豪桀，招亡纳叛，亦已多矣。
Sima Guang, the minister, said: From the time Emperor Gaozu of Han started his campaign in Feng and Pei, he had formed an alliance with powerful and influential people, and recruited fugitive rebels, whose numbers were already quite large.
