陳牧：先生不出，蒼生奈何？

    蕭凡：布衣愿效犬馬之勞。

    陳牧：今王室多故，諸侯不臣，四方紛擾，寡人朝不保夕，為之奈何？先生教我。

    蕭凡：臣以為，今大廈將傾，非人力所能支也，且諸將暴虐，常切齒于王，京師必將生亂，此非久留之地，愿大王效司馬睿，斬關而出急趨孟津，上書陛下訴其緣由，據河內以觀時局，待罪并州以衛社稷，大王于外厲兵秣馬，遙壯朝廷聲勢，陛下于內差可少安。

    陳牧：先生之言是也，寡人意決矣。

    陳牧：今四海分裂，國家未安，齊國、燕國倔強于山東，關中、西涼不服王化，梁國首鼠兩端，楚國、蜀地儼然敵國，寡人欲一天下，先生何以教我？

    蕭凡：臣以為，惠帝既是常才而不能自斷，諸將皆庸人驟起，志在財帛，爭用威力。朝夕自快而已，非有忠良明智、深慮遠圖，尊主安民者也，分崩離析，形勢可見，大王建位藩輔，當布盛德于天下，以衛高祖之業，齊軍肅政，賞罰明信，延攬英雄，務悅民心，南奉天子以討不庭，籠絡梁國以為屏障，急下關中以威西涼，聯蜀和楚以固河南，以此而慮，天下不足定也。

    陳牧：先生之言甚善，寡人謹受教。
