《宋史·列传·卷一百二十四》
我打算派你返回洞庭湖中，看到杨么军中可以制服的就擒获他，能够劝降的就招降他，你看怎么样？ 黄佐感激涕零，誓死报效。
欲复遣子至湖中，视其可乘者擒之，可劝者招之，如何？ 佐感泣，誓以死报。
I plan to send you back to Dongting Lake, If you find Yang Mo's soldiers, you may capture the ones you can defeat, and persuade the ones you can coax into surrendering. What do you think? Huang Zuo was moved to tears and swore to repay the kindness with his life.
