《百战奇略·第五卷·危战》
吴汉召集众将激励他们说： 我和诸位将军共同越过艰难险阻，转战千里之遥，所向斩获甚多，才得以深入敌人腹地。现今进至敌人都城之下，而我们与刘尚两处竟都遭敌人包围，形成互相不能救援之势，此种局面的危害性是难以估量的。
汉召诸将厉之曰： 吾与诸将逾越险阻，转战千里，所在斩获，遂深入敌地，今至城下，而与尚二处受围，势既不接，其祸难量。
Wu Han summoned all of his generals and motivated them by saying: I have traveled over thousands of miles alongside with you generals through hardships and obstacles, and have fought off quite a few enemies before we could finally enter the enemy's territory. Now, as we stand at the gates of the enemy's capital city, both Liu Shang's and my forces are under siege. We are in a situation where we cannot aid one another; the consequences of such a situation could be catastrophic.
