《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪五十三》
还不如到豫章郡，那里北连豫州，西接荆州，如果能把官员与百姓安顿好，派使者到朝廷去进贡，与占据兖州的曹操取得联系，尽管现在袁术隔断了豫章与中原的联系，但像他这样豺狼之辈不会长久。
不如豫章，北达豫壤，西接荆州；若收合吏民，遣使贡献，与曹兗州相闻，虽有袁公路隔在其间，其人豺狼，不能久也。
“You’d better go to Yuzhang, which borders Yuzhou in the north and connects Jingzhou in the west. If you can settle the officials and people, send envoys to pay tribute to the imperial court, and establish connection with Cao Cao who occupies Yanzhou, although Yuan Shu has now blocked the connection between Yuzhang and central China, a wolf like him won’t last long.”
