《资治通鉴·汉纪·汉纪五十六》
如今，袁氏兄弟不顾长远大局，自相攻击，可称为内乱；居民饥饿，行人无粮，可称为覆亡的迹象。
方今二袁不务远略而内相图，可谓乱矣；居者无食，行者无粮，可谓亡矣。
Today, the Yuan brothers have shown no concern for what is before them and are attacking each other, so they can be considered in chaos; the people are hungry, and travellers have no food, and this can be considered a sign of collapse.
