太史公曰:陽陵侯傅寬、信武侯靳歙皆高爵,從高祖起山東,攻項籍,誅殺名將,破軍降城以十數,未嘗困辱,此亦天授也。 The Grand Historian says: The Marquis of Yangling, Fu Kuan, and the Marquis of Xinwu, Jin Xi, both held high noble ranks. They followed Gaozu in rising from Shandong, attacked Xiang Ji, executed famous generals, broke armies, and induced the surrender of cities numbering in the tens, and never experienced distress or humiliation. This too was heaven's bestowal.
