二十二年，正說先主曰：「曹操一舉而降張魯，定漢中，不因此勢以圖巴、蜀，而留夏侯淵、張郃屯守，身遽北還，此非其智不逮而力不足也，必將內有憂偪故耳。 In 217 Fa Zheng told Liu Bei: “Cao Cao crushed Zhang Lu and took Hanzhong but did not push into Ba–Shu—only Yuan and He remain while he races north; either crisis grips his rear or he lacks nerve.

今策淵、郃才略，不勝國之將帥，舉眾往討，則必可克。 Yuan and He are no better than our generals—commit the host and you will break them.
