《周书·列传·卷十九》
尧雄等人一定以为颖川孤立无援，危急万分，以其情势一定不是他们的对手，又认为我们兵少势弱单独冒进，如果全力攻打颖川，一定指曰可破。
尧雄等必以为颍川孤危，势非其敌，又谓吾寡弱独进，若悉力以攻颍，必指掌可破。
Yaoxiong and others must have thought that Yingchuan was isolated and helpless, and in a very dangerous and critical situation, and that their situation must not be our match. They also thought that our troops were few and weak, and that if we ventured forward alone, and attacked Yingchuan with all our strength, we would definitely be defeated.
