睿素无北伐之志，以逖为奋威将军、豫州刺史，给千人廪，布三千匹，不给铠仗，使自召募。
Sima Rui had never had any intention of launching a northern expedition. However, after listening to Zu Ti, he appointed him as a General of Martial Might and Governor of Yuzhou. However, he only gave him rations for 1,000 men and 3,000 pieces of cloth, and provided no weapons, leaving Zu Ti to figure out how to raise funds on his own.
