浮密奏寵遣吏迎妻而不迎其母，又受貨賄，殺害友人，多聚兵谷，意計難量。 Zhu Fu secretly reported that Peng Chong had officials fetch his wife but left his mother behind, accepted bribes, murdered a friend, and stockpiled troops and grain—conduct whose ultimate aim was anyone's guess.

而伯通獨中風狂走，自捐盛時，內聽驕婦之失計，外信讒邪之諛言，長為群後惡法，永為功臣鑒戒，豈不誤哉！ You alone rage like a man in a fit, throwing away your prime: you heed a domineering wife within and flatterers without, and will stand forever as a warning to governors and generals—is that not folly?
