《后汉书·列传·皇甫张段列传》
应该平安无事的，却去侵暴他们，为了求得小小的好处，终于引来大害。为了证明打了胜仗，往往虚报斩首多少多少，打了败仗就瞒了不说。
乘常守安，则加侵暴，苟竞小利，则致大害，微胜则虚张首级，军败则隐匿不言。
Expecting them to be at peace and harmless, he goes and attacks them. In order to gain minor advantages, he finally brings down great calamity. In order to prove that a victory has been won, he often falsely reports the enemy decapitation to be a certain number, yet when he loses, he conceals it and does not speak of it.
