《新唐书·列传·卷一百五十》
另一支队伍常宏带领几万人投降，然都被杀死。各路军多次上报破贼，其实都是虚报，朝廷信以为真，稍觉安心。
巢数却，乃保饶州，众多疫，别部常宏以众数万降，所在戮死。诸军屡奏破贼，皆不实，朝廷信之，稍自安。
Another army led by Chang Hong, with tens of thousands of men, also surrendered, but all of them were killed. Various armies reported that they had defeated the bandits on multiple occasions, but all these reports were false. The imperial court believed them and felt a bit relieved.
