《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪七十八》
王建表面上与朱全忠亲善友好，把罪状归到李茂贞身上，而暗地里劝说李茂贞坚持固守，答应他派兵救援；并以武信节度使王宗佶、前东川节度使王宗涤为扈驾指挥使，率领五万军队，声言迎接天子车驾，其实偷袭李茂贞的山南各州。
建外修好于全忠，罪状李茂贞，而阴劝茂贞坚守，许之救援。以武信节度使王宗佶、前东川节度使王宗涤等为扈驾指挥使，将兵五万，声言迎军驾，其实袭茂贞山南诸州。
Wang Jian was ostensibly friendly and kind to Zhu Quanzhong, blaming Li Maozhen for the crimes, but secretly he advised Li Maozhen to hold on tight, and promised to dispatch troops to his aid; he also ordered the Military Governor of Wuxin, Wang Zongji, and the Deputy Military Governor of Dongchuan, Wang Zongdi, to serve as escort commanders and lead a 50,000-strong army, ostensibly to welcome the emperor's carriage, but in actuality to launch a surprise attack on Li Maozhen's various prefectures in Shannan.
