《新唐书·列传·卷九十三》
在这时，各镇将领送信给护军中尉，报告他们将离职守，宦官才明白王叔文等在夺他们的兵权，大怒说 ：我们一定会死在他手里。 
于是诸将移书中尉，告且去，宦人始悟夺其权，大怒曰： 吾属必死其手！ 
At this time, the generals from various towns sent letters to the Zhongwei of the Imperial Army, stating that they would leave their posts. Only then did the eunuchs understand that Wang Shuwen and others were depriving them of their military power and said angrily: We will surely die at his hands.
