《资治通鉴·晋纪·晋纪四十》
王镇恶向士卒们宣告说： 我们的亲人和家园都在江南，这里是长安北门，离故乡有万里之遥。现在，战船、衣服、粮食都随波飘走，今天我们进攻，战胜可以建功立名；失败，我们的尸骨都回不了家，没有第三条路可走。
镇恶谕士卒曰： 吾属并家在江南，此为长安北门，去家万里，舟楫、衣粮皆已随流。今进战而胜，则功名俱显；不胜，则骸骨不返，无它歧矣。
Wang Zhen'e declared to his soldiers: Our relatives and homes are all in Jiangnan. This is the north gate of Chang'an, thousands of miles away from our hometown. Now, our warships, clothes, and food have all drifted away with the current. Today, we attack. Victory will bring us fame and fortune. If we fail, our remains will not be able to return home. There is no third way.
