《旧五代史·后唐·皇纪上》
不久黄巢渡过长江、淮河往北，武皇杀牛设酒宴招待鞑靼人首领，酒酣时，对他们说 ：我父子被贼臣离间，没机会报国。
俄而黄巢自江、淮北渡，武皇椎牛酾酒，飨其酋首。酒酣，谕之曰： 予父子为贼臣谗间，报国无由。
Soon Huang Chao crossed the Yangtze and the Huai River to the north, and Emperor Wu slaughtered cattle and set up a banquet to entertain the Tatar chiefs, and when they were drunk, he said to them: "I and my son were alienated by the treacherous ministers, and we had no chance to serve our country."
