殷初兵力尚寡，與楊行密、成汭、劉龑等為敵國，殷患之，問策於其將高郁，郁曰：「成汭地狹兵寡，不足為吾患，而劉龑志在五管而已，楊行密，孫儒之仇，雖以萬金交之，不能得其歡心。 Early on Yin's forces were still weak, and he faced Yang Xingmi, Cheng Jun, and Liu Yan as enemies. Troubled, he asked his general Gao Yu for counsel. Yu said, "Cheng Jun has little land and few troops—not a real threat. Liu Yan cares only for the Five Guan. Yang Xingmi, Sun Ru's foe, will never be won with gold, however much you spend.
