From: Pei Songzhi, Annotations to Records of the Three Kingdoms, circa 5^th century CE
Sūn Tǎolǔ cōngmíng rénhuì, jìngxiánlǐshì, Jiāngbiǎo yīngháo, xián guīfù zhī, yǐ jù yǒu liùjùn, bīngjīng liángduō, zú yǐ lìshì. [Pinyin]
Sun Quan, the Brigand-Queller, is brilliant and compassionate. He treats worthies with respect and elites with courtesy. The heroes and braves south of the Yangtze have all attached themselves to him. He already holds six commanderies, and his troops are superb and grain supplies, plentiful. It is enough for an undertaking.
