《北史·列传·卷六十四》
诸位将领都很恐惧，来护儿笑着对副将周法尚和军官们说： 我原来以为他们会坚壁清野等待王师，如今来送死，定当一日之内歼灭他们。 
诸将咸惧，护儿笑谓副将周法尚及军吏曰： 吾本谓其坚城清野以待王师，今来送死，当殄之而朝食。 
All the generals were very frightened. Lai Huer smiled and said to the deputy general Zhou Fashang and the officers: Originally, I thought they would stick to the wall and wait for the king’s division. Now come to die, you must destroy them within one day.
