《宋书·列传·卷八十四》
刘胡率几百艘军舰二万人逃向寻阳，骗刘子勋说： 袁岂页已投降，军队都逃散了，只有我率部下逃回，应该迅速准备，以备一战，誓死不降。 
胡率数百舸二万人向寻阳，报子勋诈云： 袁顗已降，军皆散，唯己率所领独反。宜速处分，为一战之资，当停据盆城，誓死不贰。 
Liu Hu led thousands of warships and 20,000 people to Xunyang, and lied to Liu Zixun, saying: Yuan Qiyue has surrendered, and the army has fled. Only I led my subordinates to escape back. I should prepare quickly and be ready for a battle. I swear to the death not to surrender.
