《魏书·列传·卷四十七》
刘昶说： 为臣奉命征讨，剿灭凶邪，但却徒劳士卒马匹，久拖时日，不见战功，实在有损陛下威灵，臣请接受刑罚。 
昶曰： 臣奉敕专征，克殄凶丑，徒劳士马，久淹岁时，有损威灵，伏听斧钺。 
Liu Chang said: "As a minister, I received the emperor's order to fight and kill the wicked, but I wasted soldiers and horses, and it has been a long time without any military exploits, which has really damaged the emperor's prestige. I beg you to accept the punishment."
