《战国策·秦五·文信侯出走》
李牧恳求韩仓向赵王加以解释。韩仓却不理睬，冷言道： 臣只是受命于王，大王赐将军死，绝不容恕，我不敢为你多言。 
韩仓曰： 受命于王，赐将军死，不赦。臣不敢言。 
Li Mu begged Han Cang to explain to King Zhao. But Han Cang ignored him, and said coldly: "I have only received orders from the king. If the king bestows the general with death, there will be no pardon. I dare not intercede for you."
