Book of Sui, Chapter 56Volume 56 Biographies 21: Lu Kai, Ling Huxi, Xue Zhou, Yu Wenbi, Zhang Heng, Yang Wang · 19 passages
刺史上官政請援於胄,胄畏諒兵鋒,不敢拒,良又引兵攻胄,胄欲以計卻之,遣親人魯世范說良曰:「天下事未可知,胄為人臣,去就須得其所,何遽相攻也?」 Governor Shangguan Zheng requested aid from Zhou. Zhou feared Prince Liang's military edge and did not dare refuse. Qi Liang then led troops to attack Zhou. Zhou wished to repel him by stratagem and sent his close associate Lu Shifan to tell Qi Liang, "Affairs under Heaven are not yet settled. Zhou, as a minister, must choose his stand according to what is fitting. Why rush to attack one another?"
