《资治通鉴·后唐纪·后唐纪三》
现在主上忘恩负义，欺凌士卒，驻守在贝州的士卒只是想回家，主上不能饶恕他们，还说 攻下城以后，应当把魏博的军队全部坑杀 。近来从直少数士卒争逐喧闹，便想很快把这些士卒杀掉。
今主上弃恩任威，贝州戍卒思归，主上不赦，云 克城之后，当尽坑魏博之军 ；近从马直数卒喧竞，遽欲尽诛其众。
Now our lord has forgotten our good will, and bullied our soldiers. The soldiers stationed in Beizhou just wanted to go home, but our lord would not let them, and even said that after taking down the city, we should kill off all of the Weibo’s troops. Recently, some soldiers have been arguing and making a scene, so we all wanted to kill them off quickly.
