《宋书·本纪·卷一》
道覆听说刘塑攻向上游，急派使者报告卢循说： 刘堑的军队很强，成败在此一战，应该合力打败他。
道覆闻毅上，驰使报循曰： 毅兵众甚盛，成败事系之于此，宜并力摧之。
When Dao Fu heard that Liu Yan was attacking upstream, he hurriedly sent a messenger to report to Lu Xun, saying, “Liu Yan's army is very strong, and the success or failure of our cause depends on this battle. We should join forces to defeat him.”
