《旧五代史·后梁·太祖纪二》
太祖神情凄然阻止他前去，马景再三请求，才让他去，第二天少量军队开出，各座营寨静寂好像无人，马景于是跃马西奔，直到岐城重门下，欺骗城内守军说，太祖军心愤怨而向东逃离，又说各寨还有一万多人，到晚上也将逃走，应赶快攻击。
李茂贞信其言，案：李茂贞即宋文通，此纪前后互异，盖仍当时军檄之文，未及改从画一。
The Emperor, looking sadly upon him, tried to stop him from going, but Ma Jing begged him to let him go, and so the next day he set out with a small number of troops. The camp was silent as if no one was there, and Ma Jing spurred his horse westward, until he reached the heavy gates of Qi city, and deceived the guards within, saying that the Emperor's army was resentful and had fled eastward, and also saying that there were still ten thousand more men at their various encampments, but that they too would flee by night, and that they should attack at once.
