《北齐书·列传·卷十六》
高祖对大司马斛律金、司徒韩轨、左卫将军刘丰等人说： 我每次同段孝先论兵，都能听到许多高见，如果让他来参谋参谋，就可能没有今日的劳累了。
谓大司马斛律金、司徒韩轨、左卫将军刘丰等曰： 吾每与段孝先论兵，殊有英略，若使比来用其谋，亦可无今日之劳矣。
Gao Zu said to Sima Hu Lu Jin, Situ Han Gui, and General of the Left Guard Liu Feng, "Every time I discuss military strategy with Duan Xiao Xian, I learn a lot. If I had asked him to be my advisor, perhaps I would not be facing such difficulties today."
