《资治通鉴·晋纪·晋纪十六》
荆州与胡夷、蜀汉二敌接壤，应当对突发之事有所防备，如果再无军粮，我就想西归，重新考虑更好的办法，慢慢再来除灭叛贼，也不算晚。 
荆州接胡、蜀二虏，当备不虞；若复无食，仆便欲西归，更思良算。徐来殄贼，不为晚也。 
Jingzhou borders two enemies, the Hu barbarians and the Shu Han, and should be prepared for emergencies. If there is no more military food, I will return to the west, reconsider a better way, and slowly come back to destroy the rebels, it is not too late.
