《三国志·蜀书·先主传》
郡中的刘平向来轻视先主，以在先主之下为耻，就让人去行刺先主，刺客不忍心刺杀，将这件事告诉了先主就离开了。
郡民刘平素轻先主，耻为之下，使客刺之。客不忍刺，语之而去。
Liu Ping from the prefecture had always belittled First Master and was ashamed to be under him, so he sent someone to assassinate First Master. However, the assassin did not have the heart to kill First Master and instead told him what he was there to do and left.
