《晋书·列传·第五章》
陈骞趁着入朝，对皇帝说： 胡烈、牵弘都有勇无谋，过于自信，不是安定边防之才，将给国家带来羞耻。
骞因入朝，言于帝曰： 胡烈、牵弘皆勇而无谋，强于自用，非绥边之材，将为国耻。
Chen Qian took advantage of his visit to the capital to say to the emperor: “Hu Lie and Qian Hong are both brave but lack strategy and are too self-assured. They are not the men to stabilize the frontiers, and they will bring shame on the state.”
