〈江表傳曰：先主與統從容宴語，問曰：「卿為周公瑾功曹，孤到吳，聞此人密有白事，勸仲謀相留，有之乎？〈The Jiang Biao Zhuan states that Liu Bei banqueted with Tong and asked, “You were Zhou Yu’s Clerk of Merit. When I visited Wu I heard he secretly memorialized Sun Quan to keep me there—was that true?

孤以仲謀所防在北，當賴孤為援，故決意不疑。 I believed Sun Quan’s defenses were directed northward and that he would need me as an ally, so I decided to go without hesitation.

〈《九州春秋》曰：統說備曰：「荊州荒殘，人物殫盡，東有吳孫，北有曹氏，鼎足之計，難以得志。〈The Annals of the Nine Provinces records Tong urging Liu Bei: “Jingzhou is ruined and depopulated; Sun Quan bars you east and Cao Cao presses north—the three-way balance will be hard to achieve.
