    陈牧：今梁地初定，刘斌恃功骄纵，邀求无厌，又以寿春久不下，潜有贰心，必为国患，寡人欲因势除之，先生以为如何？

    萧凡：臣以为，汝南之盟，不可负也，若其为难，罪由于斌，今事未有形而杀之，人必谓我王忌惮其功能，大王方收揽豪杰以隆大业，不可示人以狭，失天下之望也，藉彼有谋，大王以智防之，无能为也。

    陈牧：先生之言是也，所谓骄则速败，其焉能为患，彼有大功，杀之不义，先生之论何似郭嘉之言？开寡人心怀也！

    chenmu：NowLiangGuohasjustbeenpacified，GeneralLiuBinwasproudandindulgentbecauseofhismerits，Andaskedmeforalotofrewardsendlessly，BecauseShouchunCityhasnotbeencapturedforalongtime，Thereisariskthathewillbetrayme，He‘sboundtobeahiddendangertothecountry，soIwanttotaketheopportunitytokillhim，Sirthoughtso？

    陈牧：先生凯旋，寡人欲加先生大司马，以都督中外诸军事，先生以为如何？

    萧凡：臣今以元相之重，储傅之尊，端右事繁，司马任大，总督戎机，出纳帝命，今文武两寄，巨细并关，以伊、吕、萧、邓之贤，尚不能兼，何况臣哉？

    陈牧：寡人方混壹四海，非卿谁可委者？先生切莫推辞，前有刘备之于孔明，苻坚之于王猛，今有寡人之于先生，岂不快哉！
