沛公左司馬曹毋傷聞羽怒，欲攻沛公，使人言羽曰：「沛公欲王關中，令子嬰相，珍寶盡有之。」 Cao Wushang, Pei Gong's Left Marshal, heard that Xiang Yu was angry and wanted to attack Pei Gong. He sent someone to tell Xiang Yu, "Pei Gong wants to become king of Guanzhong, make Zi Ying his chancellor, and keep all the precious treasures."

羽曰：「此沛公左司馬曹毋傷言之，不然，籍何以生此？」 Xiang Yu said: "This was reported by Pei Gong's left marshal Cao Wushang. Otherwise, how could such suspicions have arisen?"
