《资治通鉴·魏纪·魏纪三》
如能使中原没有饥饿寒冷之苦，百姓对上边没有离心离德之意，那么吴、蜀二贼的矛盾，可以坐待其爆发！ 
使中国无饥寒之患，百姓无离上之心，则二贼之衅可坐而待也！ 
If we can make the Central Plains free from hunger and cold, and the people have no intention of leaving the upper class, then the contradiction between the two thieves, Wu and Shu, can be expected to break out!
