太史公曰：世之傳酈生書，多曰漢王已拔三秦，東擊項籍而引軍於鞏洛之閒，酈生被儒衣往說漢王。 The Grand Historian says: The world's transmitted books about Li Sheng mostly say that the Han King had already taken the Three Qins, attacked Xiang Ji to the east, and was leading his army between Gong and Luo when Li Sheng, wearing scholar's clothes, went to persuade the Han King.

自沛公未入關，與項羽別而至高陽，得酈生兄弟。 Before the Lord of Pei had entered the passes, after parting ways with Xiang Yu, he came to Gaoyang and gained the services of the Li Yiji brothers.
