《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪六十九》
有人劝刘巨容穷追不舍，可将贼军杀尽，但刘巨容却有不同看法，他说： 国家常说话不算数，有危急时就抚存将士，不惜赏官予人，事情平定下来时就将我们抛弃于一边，有的人甚至因功得罪；不如将残留下来，以为我辈取富贵的资本。 
或劝巨容穷追，贼可尽也。巨容曰： 国家喜负人，有急则抚存将士，不爱官赏，事宁则弃之，或更得罪。不若留贼以为富贵之资。 
Someone advised Liu Juyong to pursue and kill all the rebels, but Liu Juyong had a different view, he said: "The state often breaks its promises, when there is a crisis, it will comfort and support the generals and soldiers, sparing no reward for anyone, but when things settle down, we will be abandoned, and some people will even be punished for their merits. It is better to leave some of them as capital for our future wealth.”
