《资治通鉴·梁纪·梁纪十六》
侯景暗中打算反叛西魏，但计划没有实现，便优抚韦法保等人，希望他们能替自己效力，表面上做出亲密无间的样子。侯景每每来往于各个军队之间，带的侍从极少，对于西魏军队中的各个著名将领，他都亲自去拜访他们。
景阴谋叛魏，事计未成，厚抚韦法保等，冀为己用，外示亲密无猜间，每往来诸军间，侍从至少，魏军中名将，皆身自造诣。
Hou Jing secretly planned to rebel against the Western Wei, but his plan did not succeed. Thus, he flattered Wei Fapiao and others, hoping that they would be willing to serve him, and on the surface pretended to be extremely intimate with them. Whenever Hou Jing visited various armies, he would take very few attendants with him, and he would personally visit each of the famous generals in the Western Wei army.
