《金史·列传·卷四十五》
世宗对宰辅大臣们说 ：以前宋人说派使者请求议和，乘我无备而进攻宿州，如今被我军打得大败，被杀过多，所以不敢再相互通问。
世宗谓宰臣曰： 昔宋人，言遣使请和，乘吾无备遂攻宿州，今为我军大败，杀戮过当，故不敢复通问。
Emperor Shizong said to his prime ministers: In the past, the Song people said they would send envoys to ask for peace talks, but they took advantage of our unpreparedness and attacked Suz1hou. Now they have been badly defeated by our army and suffered heavy casualties, so they dare not communicate with each other.
