建興三年，隨諸葛亮南行，歸至漢陽縣，降人李鴻來詣亮，亮見鴻，時蔣琬與詩在坐。 In 225, returning with Zhuge Liang from the southern campaign, they reached Hanyang county, where the defector Li Hong came to see Zhuge Liang; Jiang Wan and Fei Shi were present.

鴻曰：「聞過孟達許，適見王沖從南來，言往者達之去就，明公切齒，欲誅達妻子，賴先主不聽言。 Li Hong said, "I heard this while passing through Meng Da's area. I happened to meet Wang Chong coming from the south, and he said that when Da changed allegiance in the past, Your Excellency ground your teeth and wanted to execute Da's wife and children, but fortunately the First Sovereign would not listen to the proposal.

[末及]還，適與李鴻會於漢陽，承知消息，慨然永歎，以存足下平素之志，豈徒空托名榮，貴為乘離乎！ had closed I was still on the road; I met Li Hong at Hanyang and learned your mind. I sighed long for the loyalty you have always shown—surely you do not seek empty glory while we remain apart!

又鴻道王沖造作虛語，云足下量度吾心，不受沖說。 Li Hong also said Wang Chong’s story was invented, and he praised you for seeing my true intent and rejecting the lie.
