《史记·七十列传·仲尼弟子列传》
越王听到吴军惨败的消息，就渡过江去袭击吴国，直打到离吴国都城七里的路程才安营扎寨。
越王闻之，涉江袭吴，去城七里而军。
Upon hearing the news of the severe defeat of the Wu army, the King of Yue crossed the river and attacked the State of Wu. He directly led his army to a place seven li away from the capital city of the State of Wu to set up camp.
