《资治通鉴·梁纪·梁纪十二》
贺拔岳死了之后，侯莫陈悦军队里的官兵都相互庆贺，行台郎中薛悄悄地对他亲近的人说： 侯莫陈悦向来缺乏才识谋略，总是杀害良将，我们这些人现在已注定被人俘虏了，有什么可以庆贺的！ 
岳既死，悦军中皆相贺，行台朗中薛憕私谓所亲曰： 悦才略素寡，辄害良将，吾属今为人虏矣，何贺之有！ 
After He Bayue's death, the officers and soldiers in Houmochen Yue's army congratulated each other. Xue, the Secretary of the Xingtai, secretly said to his close associates: "Houmochen Yue has always lacked talent and strategy. He always kills good generals. We ourselves are now doomed to be captured. What is there to celebrate?"
