《南史·列传·卷八十》
元帝闻讯，对御史中丞宗忄禀说： 贼兵如果分兵守巴陵，另派兵西上，荆、郢二州就危险了，这是他们的上策。
元帝闻之，谓御史中丞宗懔曰： 贼若分守巴陵，鼓行西上，荆、郢殆危，此上策也。
Emperor Yuan heard the news and said to the Yushi Zhongcheng Zong: If the rebel army divides into two and occupies Balin, and sends another army to the west, the two states of Jing and Ying will be in danger, and this is their best plan.
