《梁书·列传·卷十》
当时朝廷开始商议北伐事宜，由于杨公则的威名一向很显著，到京师后，高祖韶令他假节先屯兵洛口公则受命后身患疾病。
时朝廷始议北伐，以公则威名素著，至京师，诏假节先屯洛口。
At that time, the imperial court had begun to deliberate on the Northern Expedition. Since Yang Gongze's reputation had always been remarkable, after he arrived in the capital, Gaozu ordered him to have a temporary position and stationed his troops in Luokou. After Gongze received the order, he fell ill.
