1 宋王偃:
宋王偃惡楚威王,好言楚之非,旦日視朝必詆楚以為笑,且曰:『楚之不能若是,甚矣。吾其得楚乎?」群臣和之,如出一口。於是行旅之自楚適宋者,必構楚短以為容。國人大夫傳以達於朝,狃而揚,遂以楚為果不如宋,而先為其言者亦惑焉。於是謀伐楚,大夫華犨諫曰:「宋之非楚敵也舊矣,猶夔牛之於鼢鼠也。使誠如王言,楚之力猶足以十宋,宋一楚十,十勝不足以直一敗,其可以國試乎?」弗聽,遂起兵敗楚師於穎上。王益逞,華犨復諫曰:「臣聞小之勝大也,幸其不吾虞也。幸不可常,勝不可恃,兵不可玩,敵不可侮。侮小人且不可,況大國乎?今楚懼矣,而王益盈。大懼小盈,禍其至矣!」王怒,華犨出奔齊。明年宋復伐楚,楚人伐敗之,遂滅宋。
