《资治通鉴·梁纪·梁纪九》
当今天下百姓望眼欲穿，就看您这一次举动了。如果没有取得什么收获，您便很快又回师的话，那么就会使得百姓大失所望，各自考虑何去何从，谁胜谁负也就难说了。
今四方颙颙，视公此举；若未有所成，遽复引归，民情失望，各怀去就，胜负所在，未可知也。
Nowadays, all the people have great expectations for you. If you go back without achieving anything, the people will be greatly disappointed. They will think about what to do and it will be hard to predict who will win.
