《史记·七十列传·平原君虞卿列传》
大王把齐、赵两国结盟的事声扬出去，我们的军队不必到边境侦察，我就会看到秦国的贵重财礼送到赵国来而反过来向大王求和了。
王以此发声，兵未窥於境，臣见秦之重赂至赵而反媾於王也。
The King announced the alliance of the Qi and Zhao countries. Our troops do not need to go to the border to inquire, I can already see that the precious gifts from the Qin country are being delivered to the Zhao country, and it will, in turn, seek peace from the King.
