《资治通鉴·梁纪·梁纪十五》
现在您奉皇上之命讨伐有罪之人，应当生死不顾，全力以赴，怎么可以逗留不进，长敌人志气而灭自己威风呢！ 
节下奉辞伐罪，当死生以之。岂可逗挠不进，长寇沮众也！ 
Now you have been ordered by the emperor to punish the guilty. You should risk your life and give it your all. How can you delay and not advance, boosting the enemy's morale and destroying your own prestige!
