《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪七十》
王重荣于是对部众说： 起初我屈节事贼，是想缓解军府的急患，如今黄巢来调财不已，又要征调士兵，我们早晚要死于他手，不如发兵抗拒黄巢。 
王重荣谓众曰： 始吾屈节以纾军腐之患，今调财不已，又将征兵，吾亡无日矣！不如发兵拒之。 
Wang Chongrong then said to his followers, "At first, I yielded to the bandits in order to alleviate the urgent suffering in the military government. However, Huang Chao has been asking for more money and more soldiers, and we will all be killed by him sooner or later. Why don't we send troops to resist Huang Chao?"
