《资治通鉴·后唐纪·后唐纪二》
武兴节度使王承捷报告说后唐兵从西面上来，前蜀主以为是大臣们合谋阻止他，对王承捷所讲的不大相信，于是他夸口说： 我正想炫耀一下武力，显示一下我的威风。 
武兴节度使王承捷告唐兵西上，蜀主以为群臣同谋沮己，犹不信，大言曰： 吾方欲耀武。 
The Military Governor of Wuxing, Wang Chengjie, reported that the Later Tang army was approaching from the west. The former Shu Lord thought that his ministers had conspired together to stop him, so he was not very trusting of what Wang Chengjie had to say. Thereupon, he boasted and said: I was just planning to show off my military power and make a display of my authority.
