荊南高季昌聞殷將高郁素教殷以計策而楚以彊，患之，嘗使諜者行間於殷，殷不聽。 Gao Jichang of Jingnan heard that Yin's general Gao Yu had long advised him with stratagems that made Chu strong and was alarmed. He once sent agents to sow discord, but Yin paid no heed.

希聲用事，諜者語希聲曰：「季昌聞楚用高郁，大喜，以為亡馬氏者必郁也。」 Once Xisheng held power, a spy told him: "Jichang heard Chu employs Gao Yu and rejoiced, convinced Yu would destroy the Ma clan."
