《新五代史·列传·唐臣传第十二》
唐庄宗也担忧这事，向将领们询问，将领们都说： 唐得到郓州，隔一条黄河难以固守，不如把郫州放弃给梁，而向西攻取卫州、黎阳，以黄河为界，和梁商定停战，不要再相互进攻，也许可以靠这个为将来作打算。 
庄宗患之，以问诸将，诸将皆曰： 唐得郓州，隔河难守，不若弃郓与梁，而西取卫州、黎阳，以河为界，与梁约罢兵，毋相攻，庶几以为后图。 
Emperor Zhuangzong of Tang was also worried about this and asked his generals what they thought. The generals all said, "Tang has acquired Yunzhou, but it will be difficult to defend as it is separated by the Yellow River. It would be better to give up Pixizhou to Liang and instead attack Weizhou and Liyang to the west, and make the Yellow River the border. We can negotiate a ceasefire with Liang and stop attacking each other. That might be a good way to plan for the future."
