蘇代又謂秦太后弟羋戎曰：「公叔伯嬰恐秦楚之內蟣蝨也，公何不為韓求質子於楚？ Su Dai then said to Mi Rong, the brother of the Queen Mother of Qin, "Gongshu Boying fears that Qin and Chu will install Ji Shi. Why do you not seek a hostage from Chu on Han's behalf?

楚王聽入質子於韓，則公叔伯嬰知秦楚之不以蟣蝨為事，必以韓合於秦楚。 If the King of Chu agrees to send a hostage to Han, then Gongshu Boying will know that Qin and Chu have no intention of using Ji Shi, and he will surely align Han with Qin and Chu.

公挾秦楚之重以積德於韓，公叔伯嬰必以國待公。」 If you leverage the weight of Qin and Chu to accumulate goodwill with Han, Gongshu Boying will certainly entrust the affairs of the state to you."
