《资治通鉴·后唐纪·后唐纪四》
高氏侍奉唐朝时间已很长，洛阳离江陵也不太远，唐人的步兵和骑兵袭击这里非常容易，我用水军逆流而上援救也很困难。
高氏事唐久矣，洛阳去江陵不远，唐人步骑袭之甚易，我以舟师溯流救之甚难。
The Gao family had served the Tang dynasty for a long time, and Luoyang was not very far from Jiangling, it would be very easy for Tang infantry and cavalry to attack here, and it would be very difficult for me to save them by going upstream with my ships.
