《资治通鉴·周纪·周纪三》
现在您和齐国已经断绝邦交关系，再去责问秦国为什么欺骗楚国，这样会使齐、秦两国联和，而招致天下的进攻，国家必然会受到重创。 
今王已绝于齐而责欺于秦，是吾合秦、齐之交而来天下之兵也，国必大伤矣！ 
Now you have broken off diplomatic relations with the Qi Dynasty, and then go to ask Qin why it deceived Chu. This will make Qi and Qin unite and provoke the world's offensive. The country will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
