《资治通鉴·后唐纪·后唐纪二》
正巧这时朝廷准备派三千安义兵去戍守涿州，杨立对他的士卒们说： 在此之前，潞州的士卒从没有戍守过边境，现在朝廷把我们这些人驱赶到很远的边塞去，大概是不想让我们在潞州了。
会发安义兵三千戍涿州，立谓其众曰： 前此潞兵未尝戍边，今朝廷驱我辈投之绝塞，盖不欲置之潞州耳。
It just so happened that at this time, the imperial court was preparing to send 3,000 Anyi soldiers to garrison the prefecture of Zhuo. Yang Li said to his soldiers: Before this, the soldiers in the prefecture of Lu had never garrisoned the border. Now the imperial court is driving us to a distant border. It probably doesn't want us to be in the prefecture of Lu.
