《资治通鉴·晋纪·晋纪二》
自从入秋以来，讨贼的举动越来越显露出来，现在假如中止行动，孙或许会因恐怖而产生出新的计划，迁都武昌，更完备地修整长江以南各城，把居民迁到很远的地方去，使城不可以攻，原野之中找不到东西，那么明年的计划或许就用不上了。 
自秋已来，讨贼之形颇露，今若中止，孙皓或怖而生计，徙都武昌，更完修江南诸城，远其居民，城不可攻，野无所掠，则明年之计或无所及矣。 
Since the beginning of autumn, the act of avenging has become increasingly apparent. Now if the action is suspended, Sun may produce a new plan with terror, move the capital to Wuchang, redecorate the cities south of the Yangtze River more perfectly, and move the residents to a far place, making the city impossible to attack, and no food can be found in the wilderness, then next year's plan may be useless.
