《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪五十四》
于是命令军官把铁戟竖立在营门，吕布拉满了弓，对旁观的人说： 你们看我射戟头旁边的戟支，如果射中，你们就各自罢兵，如果不中，你们可以留下厮杀。 
乃令军候植戟于营门，布弯弓顾曰： 诸君观布射戟小支，中者当各解兵，不中可留决斗。 
Then he ordered the officers to erect the halberd at the gate of the camp, Lu Bu pulled the bow full, and said to the bystanders: Look at me, I will shoot the halberd next to the head of halberd. If you hit, you can each quit your troops, if you don't hit, you can stay and fight.
