臣聞李亞子自墨縗統眾，於今十年，每攻城臨陣，無不親當矢石，昨聞攻楊劉，率先負薪渡水，一鼓登城。 Li Yazi has led his men in mourning garb for ten years; in every siege he faces arrows and stones himself; at Yangliu he carried fuel to ford the river and took the city at the first drum.

及晉主陷都城，有詔赦梁氏臣僚，李振謂翔曰：「有制洗滌，將朝新君。」 When the Jin took the capital an edict pardoned Liang officials; Li Zhen told Xiang: "We are absolved—we should attend the new court."

翔曰：「新君若問，其將何辭以對！」 Xiang said: "If the new ruler questions us, what answer can we give?"
