《论衡·卷七·语增篇》
考察高祖讨伐秦朝，又回头来打败项羽，战场上流满鲜血，横尸以万计，军队散失士兵伤亡惨重，自己多次几乎死掉，然后才得到天下，可见作战艰苦，讨伐叛乱激烈。
案高祖伐秦，还破项羽，战场流血，暴尸万数，失军亡众，几死一再，然後得天下，用兵苦，诛乱剧。
Emperor Gaozu took down Qin and then went back to defeat Xiang Yu. In the battle, there was a lot of bloodshed. Thousands of bodies were strewn all over the place. The army suffered heavy losses, and he was on the verge of death several times. Then he finally got the country. This shows how strenuous the war was and how fierce the crackdown on the rebels was.
