侯景指使手下人王伟给高澄回信说： 现在，我已经带领梁和西魏的军队，举旗北伐，兵卒们士气高涨；恢复中原地区，我希望能自己攻取，怎么能有劳您来恩赐给我呢！

Hou Jing ordered one of his subordinates, Wang Wei, to reply to Gao Cheng: "Now that I am leading the armies of Liang and Western Wei and have raised the banner of a northward expedition, my soldiers' morale is high. I would like to recover the Central Plain myself. How could I trouble you to bestow it upon me?"
