《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪二十二》
现在带罪的人们，一定不在家中，而露宿野外，涉足草野，潜藏山泽之间，赦免他们的罪便出来，不赦他们的罪即放肆妄为，崤山以东的群盗，就是因此而集结的。
今负罪之伍，必不在家，露宿草行，潜窜山泽，赦之则出，不赦则狂，山东群盗，缘兹聚结。
The guilty are surely not at home now, but sleeping in the open, walking in the fields, and hiding in the mountains and marshes. If we pardon their sins, they will come out; if we don’t, they will persist in their wrongdoings. The bandits east of Mount Xiao took shape in this way.
