《新五代史·列传·唐臣传第十四》
晋和梁在黄河边对抗十多年，大小百余次战斗，孔谦调拨供送军需，不曾缺乏，帮助完成唐庄宗的大业，孔谦出力最多，但老百姓也苦不堪言。
晋与梁相拒河上十余年，大小百余战，谦调发供馈，未尝阙乏，所以成庄宗之业者，谦之力为多，然民亦不胜其苦也。
Jin and Liang fought against each other for more than ten years on the Yellow River, and there were hundreds of battles. Kong Qian allocated and provided military supplies and never lacked them. Kong Qian made the most contribution to helping Emperor Zhuangzong of Tang to achieve his great cause, but the common people also suffered greatly.
