《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪七十四》
孙儒倚仗军队强大，想先灭掉杨行密，然后再抗击朱全忠，他向各个藩镇传送檄文，历数杨行密、朱全忠的罪行，并且说： 等我消灭了杨行密的宣州人马和朱全忠的汴州人马，就率领军队进入京师，清除皇帝身边的奸臣。 
儒恃其兵强，欲先灭行密，后敌全忠，移牒籓镇，数行密、全忠之罪，且曰： 俟平宣、汴，当引兵入朝，除君侧之恶。 
Relying on his powerful army, Sun Ru intended to destroy Yang Xingmi first and then resist Zhu Quanzhong. He sent out檄文 (an official document announcing military action) to the various藩镇 (military districts), listing the crimes of Yang Xingmi and Zhu Quanzhong. He said: “After I eliminate Yang Xingmi’s Xuanzhou army and Zhu Quanzhong’s Bianzhou army, I will lead troops into the capital to purge the treacherous officials around the emperor.”
