《宋书·列传·卷八十七》
今日朝廷大军前进，已抵达你们的城下，你们力量很小，而且没有增援部队，失败的灾难是一定会来临的，但考虑到当年我们的交情，不免有些可怜你。
今大军长驱，已造城下，势孤援绝，祸败交至，顾昔情款，犹有恻然。
Today the imperial army has arrived at your city. Your forces are weak, and you have no reinforcements. The catastrophe of defeat is inevitable. However, considering our friendship from the past, I cannot but feel sorry for you.
