陈牧：今齐王兵围彭城，寡人欲发兵救之，可乎？先生以为如何？
萧凡：臣以为，贼悉众大举，非图小利，欲质彭城以致大军耳。宜听使攻城，挫其锐气，不当与争锋也。城不可拔，众必罢怠；罢怠然后击之，可大克也。若贼见计，必不攻城，势将自走。若便进兵，适入其计矣。可先遣步兵五千，精骑三千，先军前发，扬声进道，震曜形势。骑到彭城，疏其行队，多其旌鼓，曜兵城下，引出贼后，拟其归路，要其粮道。然后大军酷进，贼闻大军来，骑断其后，必震怖遁走，不战自破矣。
陈牧：先生之言是也，寡人谨受教。
chen mu：Today， the State of Qi is besieging Pengcheng，I want to send the army to the rescue，Sir， what do you think？
xiao fan：I think，It was a conspiracy in which the State of Qi attacked Pengcheng，Their real purpose is to eliminate our main forces，So， you have to drag them down with Pengcheng，That would drain their morale，Over time， they will be very tired，Then， you send troops to strike quickly，It will definitely be a success，If you come to the rescue now， you will fall into their conspiracy，They would abandon Pengcheng and retreat，Therefore， you can send a sMall number of troops to set out first，On the one hand， bluff， on the other， cut off their grain，Then， our main forces will attack again，In this case， the enemy army will be in danger，They will have to retreat，In this way， our losses are also minimized。
chen mu：Sir is right，I respectfully accept your teachings。
陈牧：寡人闻，王业、宫室可两存之，先生以为如何？
萧凡：臣以为，大王好土功，既作许昌宫，又治洛阳宫，力役不已，农桑失业，非圣主明王所为也，昔禹承唐、虞之盛，犹卑宫室而恶衣服。况今丧乱之后，人民至少，比汉隋、唐时，五不存一，加以边境有事，将士劳苦，若有水旱之患，国家之深忧也。昔楚王自襄阳至江陵，多作传舍，兴费人役，大王知其疲民也。今中国劳力，亦楚、蜀之所愿。此安危之机也，愿大王深虑之！
陈牧：先生之言是也，寡人知过矣。
chen mu：I heard，Careers and palaces can go hand in hand，Sir， what do you think？
xiao fan：I think，You like to build palace
