《资治通鉴·梁纪·梁纪十八》
邵陵王萧纶秘密派人叫萧确回去，他对来人说： 侯景为人轻佻，一夫之勇而已,我想亲手用刀杀掉他，只是恨没有便于下手的机会。
邵陵王纶潜遣人呼之，确曰： 景轻佻，一夫力耳，我欲手刃之，正恨未得其便，卿还启家王，勿以确为念。 
Shaoling Prince Xiao Lun secretly sent someone to call Xiao Que back. He said to the person, "Hou Jing is a frivolous person and nothing more than a man with some guts. I wanted to kill him with my own hands, but I just couldn't find a proper opportunity."
