〈《漢晉春秋》曰：後主將從譙周之策，北地王諶怒曰：「若理窮力屈，禍敗必及，便當父子君臣背城一戰，同死社稷，以見先帝可也。」 〈The Han–Jin Annals of Spring and Autumn say that as the Later Lord prepared to adopt Qiao Zhou's counsel, Prince Liu Chen of Beidi burst out: "If argument and force are both spent and ruin is upon us, then let father and son, ruler and minister, make one last stand with our backs to the city wall and perish with the altars—that would be fit company for my father in the other world."
