并州刺史東嬴公騰、安北將軍王浚，起兵伐穎，元海說穎曰：「今二鎮跋扈，眾餘十萬，恐非宿衛及近都士庶所能禦之，請為殿下還說五部，以赴國難。」 When Bingzhou governor Sima Teng and Wang Jun raised troops against Sima Ying with more than a hundred thousand men, Liu Yuan advised Ying: "The two commands are now overbearing, and I fear neither the palace guard nor the people near the capital can withstand them. Let me return for Your Highness and persuade the five Xiongnu divisions to answer the state's crisis."

王浚豎子，東嬴疏屬，豈能與殿下爭衡邪！ Wang Jun is a pup and Sima Teng a cadet branch—neither can rival you.

且東胡之悍不逾五部，願殿下勉撫士眾，靖以鎮之，當為殿下以二部摧東嬴，三部梟王浚，二豎之首可指日而懸矣。」 The eastern tribes are no tougher than our horsemen—stay in Ye, steady the army, and I will smash Sima Teng with two wings and take Wang Jun's head with three; both puppets will swing from the gate in days."
