《后汉书·列传·隗嚣公孙述列传》
财物是容易聚敛的，不应当吝惜。 公孙述就将金帛全数拿出来，募得敢死队五千多人，在市桥以配合延岑，假装建立旗帜，鸣鼓挑战，暗地里却派遣奇兵绕到吴汉军后面，袭击攻破吴汉军。
财物易聚耳，不宜有爱。 述乃悉散金帛，募敢死士五千余人，以配岑于市桥，伪建旗帜，鸣鼓挑战，而潜遣奇兵出吴汉军后，袭击破汉。
Wealth and goods are easy to gather and should not be grudged. Gongsun Shu took out all the gold and cloth, and recruited over 5,000 death squads, and in the city bridge with Yan Cen pretended to set up flags and beat the drums to challenge, but secretly sent surprise troops to go around the back of Wu Han's army and attack and defeat Wu Han's army.
