《宋史·列传·卷一百七十五》
余玠说 ：早就听说王都统的士兵精干，现在疲敝、残弱成这个样子，与别人所传说的极不相称，不合乎人们对你的厚望。 王夔回答说： 王夔的士兵不是不精干，之所以不敢来见您，是担心惊吓了您的随从人员。 不一会儿，集合的声音如响雷，就像沸腾的江水，声音一停止，队伍就全部摆好了阵势，集合完毕，旗帜猎猎，士卒精明强干，武器森然严整，站在沙土上的人看起来也像林立的大树一样稳固，没有一个人敢有不合乎规范的行为。
玠曰： 久闻都统兵精，今疲敝若此，殊不称所望。 夔对曰： 夔兵非不精，所以不敢即见者，恐惊从人耳。 顷之，班声如雷，江水如沸，声止，圆阵即合，旗帜精明，器械森然，沙上之人弥望若林立，无一人敢乱行者。
Yu Jie said: "I have long heard that the soldiers of Commander Wang are capable, but now they are so weak and weak, which is very different from what others have said and does not meet people's high expectations for you." Wang Kui replied: "Wang Kui's soldiers are not incapable. But they dare not see you because they are worried about frightening your entourage." In a moment, the sound of the assembly was like thunder, like boiling river water. As soon as the sound stopped, the team was fully prepared and the assembly was completed. The flags fluttered, the soldiers were energetic and capable, and the weapons were 森然严整. The people standing on the sand looked as solid as towering trees, and no one dared to behave differently.
