《智囊(选录)·兵智部·狄青》
事后，副将们却因为当时没有继续追击败逃的敌虏而后悔，狄青说： 亡命奔逃的敌人，突然停止而有心和我军对抗，哪里知道这其中是否有其他的诈谋呢？反正我军已经大获全胜了，这些残兵败寇也就不必再去贪功计较了。 
虏得引去，时将佐悔不追击，青曰： 奔命之际，忽止而拒我，安知非谋，军已大胜，残寇不足贪也。 
Afterwards, the generals regretted for not pursuing and attacking the enemy further, Di Qing said: "The enemy, who was running for their lives, suddenly stopped and wanted to fight with us, who knows if it was some kind of ploy? Our army has already won a great victory anyways, these remnants of the defeated enemy are not worth risking our lives for."
