- You are all great soldiers of this time, but you all have weaknesses as well. Lord Du has great foresight but insufficient wisdom; you engage in foolish games with your subordinates and are proud to your superiors. Lord Zhou is true to friends, but you are not selective in whom you associate with, and you are overly trusting of others. Lord Hou is overly arrogant and does not know when to stop, and you are frivolous and temperamental. These are not ways to protect your lives. (en)
- "Lord Lu had long treated me kindly but had been wrongfully killed. If we do not take revenge now, we can never consider ourselves men. My brother, Sengming, is an enemy of ten thousands. If we were to attack the city and rally the masses, none would dare not to follow. Once the city is broken, the two princes must be sacrificed for Sun and Lu, and we shall wait for the envoys to come and present us before the Minister of Justice with our hands bounded. To die is better than to continue living. Even if we were to fail, we will not be scorned." (en)
