《资治通鉴·梁纪·梁纪二十》
胡僧避开任约，由别的路径直西进，任约以为他害怕自己，急忙挥师追赶，追到芊口之时，对胡僧呼喊： 吴儿，为什么不早早投降？
僧祐由它路西上，约谓其畏己，急追之，及于芊口，呼僧祐曰： 吴儿，何不早降！
Hu Seng avoided Ren Yue, took another path and headed straight west, Ren Yue thought he was afraid of him, and quickly led his troops to pursue him, when he pursued him to Qiankou, he shouted at Hu Seng: Wu'er, why don't you surrender sooner?
