《史记·七十列传·仲尼弟子列传》
现在大王果真能出兵辅佐吴王，以投合他的心志，用重金宝物来获取他的欢心，用谦卑的言辞尊他，以表示对他的礼敬，他一定会攻打齐国。
今王诚发士卒佐之徼其志，重宝以说其心，卑辞以尊其礼，其伐齐必也。
Now if the King could really send troops to assist the King of Wu, agree with his plan, win his favor with bribes and treasures, show him respect with humble words, he will certainly wage a war against the State of Qi.
