《资治通鉴·后汉纪·后汉纪一》
有人劝谏道： 晋兵在各地的还很多，他们听到投降的都死了，一定都会抗拒到底的；不如先安抚他们，慢慢地再想万全之策。 
或谏曰： 晋兵在他所者尚多，彼闻降者尽死，必皆拒命为患。不若且抚之，徐思其策。 
Someone advised him: "There are still many Jin soldiers in various places. If they hear that the surrendered ones are all dead, they will definitely resist to the end. It is better to appease them first and then think of a perfect solution slowly."
