Book of Chen, Chapter 19Volume 19: Shen Jiong; Yu Li; Ma Shu · 1 passage

至於師老力屈，懼誅利賞，必有韓、智晉陽之謀，張、陳井陘之勢。 When the army is old and strength spent, fearing punishment and coveting reward, there must be Han and Zhi's schemes at Jinyang, Zhang and Chen's momentum at Jingxing Pass.

Book of Later Han, Chapter 34Volume 30a: Biographies of Su Jing; Yang Hou · 1 passage

昔智果見智伯窮兵必亡，故變名遠逝，陳平知項王為天所棄，故歸心高祖，皆智之至也。 Zhiguo saw Zhibo’s warmongering would destroy him and fled under an altered name; Chen Ping knew Xiang Yu was heaven-forsaken and gave his loyalty to Gaozu—both reached the height of discernment.
