《资治通鉴·齐纪·齐纪十》

昏虐君臣，自相鱼肉；我居上流，威震遐迩，长驱南出，进拔江陵，则三楚之地一朝可收，岷、蜀之道自成断绝。
While the Qi dynasty’s oppressive ruler and ministers are slaughtering each other, I am in the upper reaches, my prestige far and wide. If I march south again and attack and seize Jiangling, then the three Chu lands can be obtained in one fell swoop. In this way, the road to Min and Shu will be cut off naturally.
