《宋史·列传·卷四十三》
他多次说 ：国家应当谨慎固守根本，京师地区的卫戍兵平常要满四十万，剩余的兵力就外调补充更戍，祖宗当初的谋略，不能苟且随便改变。 不久他与副枢密使程戡不和，程戡罢职，而御史说宋庠糊涂懈怠，仁宗于是命他任河阳三城节度使、同平章事、判郑州，又调相州任职，因病召回京城。
数言： 国家当慎固根本，畿辅宿兵常盈四十万，羡则出补更戍，祖宗初谋也，不苟轻改。 既而与副使程戡不协，戡罢，而御史言庠昏惰，乃以河阳三城节度、同平章事判郑州，徙相州。以疾召还。
He said many times: The country should be cautious and stick to the fundamentals. The garrison troops in the capital area should be full of 400,000 in normal times, and the remaining troops will be transferred to replenish the garrison. The strategy of the ancestors cannot be changed casually. Soon he disagreed with Cheng Kan, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Cheng Kan resigned, and the御史 said that Song Xiang was confused and neglectful, so Renzong ordered him to be the inspector of Heyang Sancheng, the Tongpingzhang, and the judge of Zhengzhou, and then transferred him to Xiangzhou because of illness Summoned back to the capital.
