漢祖從其請，乃命史宏肇統兵，先渡河至潞，見萬超，語之曰：「收復此州，公之力也，吾欲殺守恩，以公為帥，可乎？」 The Han founder granted the request and ordered Shi Hongzhao to command the army. Hongzhao crossed the river first and reached Luzhou. Seeing Wanchao, he said, "Recovering this prefecture was your doing. I would like to kill Shou'en and make you commander. Would that suit you?"

宏肇大奇之。）〉 Hongzhao was deeply impressed.)〉

乾祐末，既殺史宏肇等，漢少帝召群臣上殿以諭之，時守恩越班而揚言曰：「陛下今日始睡覺矣。」 Late in the Qianyou reign, after Shi Hongzhao and the others had been killed, the young Han emperor summoned the ministers to explain what had happened. Shou'en stepped forward out of turn and shouted, "Your Majesty has only just woken up today."
