《容斋随笔·卷九·范增非人杰》
怀王跟几位将领约定，先进入关中灭秦的为关中之王，沛公既然已经先平定了关中，那么就应该遵守约定，范增竟然劝项羽杀了沛公，事既不成，又将他迁移到蜀郡汉中一带。
怀王与诸将约，先入关者王之，沛公既先定关中，则当如约，增乃劝羽杀之，又徒之蜀汉。
King Huai made an agreement with several generals that whoever entered Guanzhong first to destroy Qin would be the king of Guanzhong. Since Pei Gong had already pacified Guanzhong, he should abide by the agreement. Fan Zeng actually persuaded Xiang Yu to kill Pei Gong. Since the matter was unsuccessful, he moved him to Hanzhong in Shujun.
