《资治通鉴·后周纪·后周纪四》
世宗因为淮南之地已经一半被后周占有，各路将领捷报连日到达，便打算取得全部长江以北的地方，不答应唐主所请。
上以淮南之地已半为周有，诸将捷奏日至，欲尽得江北之地，不许。
Because half of Huainan had already been occupied by the Later Zhou Dynasty, and victory reports of the various military commanders arrived one after another, Shizong intended to capture all areas north of the Yangtze River, and did not approve the request of the Tang master.
