    陈牧：今将军王楷兵围清河，自六月至八月而不拔，朝臣奏征其班师，寡人当如何处之，先生教我。

    萧凡：臣以为，昔秦用白起，燕任乐毅，皆旷年历载，乃能克敌。王楷讨清河已有功效，引师东指，方略已设；临军易将，兵家所忌，宜假日月，责其成功，愿大王勿有廉颇之憾。

    陈牧：先生之言是也，寡人谨受教。

    陈牧：今西北兵乱不解，征发天下役赋无已，侍郎以为宜弃敦煌，寡人当如何处之，先生教我。

    萧凡：臣以为，侍郎当斩，昔樊哙以冒顿悖逆，愤激思奋，未失人臣之节，季布犹曰‘哙可斩也’。今敦煌西北要冲，国家藩卫。汉高之时，使郦商别定陇右；世宗拓境，列置四郡，议者以为断匈奴右臂，今亦然也，侍郎不念为国思弭之之策，乃欲割弃一方万里之土，臣窃惑之！若使契丹之虏得居此地，士劲甲坚，因以为乱，此天下之至虑，社稷之深忧也，当谴车骑将军郭况镇之。

    陈牧：先生之言是也，寡人意决矣，置安西都护府，以断契丹之右臂。
