《太平广记·卷一百六十六·气义一》
听说你急人之难，重视同乡的感情，希望能伸出援助的手，保举我去军中服务，跟随你的左右，记录下战绩细节，沾你们一份功劳。
侧闻吾子，急人之忧，不遗乡曲之情，忽垂特达之眷。使保安得执鞭弭，以奉周旋。录及细微，薄沾功效。
I heard that you are eager to help people in need, and that you value the bonds of friendship between fellow villagers. I hope that you can extend a hand of support, and recommend me for service in the army, where I can serve under your command, record the details of military victories, and share in your glory.
