《南史·列传·卷十六》
渭水流水很急，那些舰船都随着河水流走，王镇恶抚慰士卒说： 这里是长安城北门外，离家万里，而船只衣粮全都随水流去，惟有死战，可以建立大功。 
渭水流急，诸舰悉逐流去。镇恶抚慰士卒曰： 此是长安城北门外，去家万里，而舫乘衣粮并已逐流，唯宜死战，可立大功。 
The Wei River's current was very fast, the ships and boats all went with the flow of the river. Wang Zhèn'è consoled his soldiers and said "This is the north gate of Chang'an city, we are thousands of miles away from home, and now the ships and food supplies have all gone with the flow of the river. Only by fighting to the death can we accomplish great feats."
