Pei Songzhi quoted Sima Biao's Jiuzhou Chunqiu (spring and Autumn Annals of nine prefectures) from Jin Dynasty as an example. He lived in Jingzhou for several years. He tasted Liu Biao and sat up to the toilet. He saw the flesh in his thigh and let it flow. When he was still sitting, he asked Bei, saying, "I always keep my body on the saddle, and my legs are all gone. No more riding, no more flesh. If the sun and the moon run fast, the old general will arrive, but if he fails to build up his achievements, he will feel sad. "
