《魏书·列传·卷六十二》
尔朱荣考虑敌人人数众多，假如立即把他们分开，恐怕他们心生疑惧，或许又结聚起来，成为后患，于是普告各人自便，亲属任其相随，居住在他们想居住的地方。
荣以贼徒既众，若即分割，恐其疑惧，或更结聚，乃普告勒，各从所乐，亲属相随，任所居止。
Erzhurong considered that the enemy was too large in number. If he split them up immediately, they might be suspicious and might gather together again, which could become a future trouble. So he told everyone to be at ease, let their relatives follow them, and live where they wanted to live.
