《旧五代史·其它·外国列传一》
现在我统领数万部队安然屯聚崤山之东，王德明不过一奴婢养的小人，阿保机生长在边僻之地，我岂有退避他们的道理！要那样的话我有什么脸面见天下苍生啊！
今吾以数万之众安集山东，王德明厮养小人，安巴坚生长边地，岂有退避之理，吾何面视苍生哉！
Now my hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed to the east of Liaoshan, Wang Deming is just a small person raised by a slave, Abuji was born in a remote area, how can I have reason to retreat against them! If that’s the case, how can I have the face to meet the people of the world!
