後呂岱從蜀還，遇之白帝，說備部眾離落，死亡且半，事必不克。 Later Lü Dai came back from Shu and told Sun Quan at Baidi that Liu Bei’s army was shattered and half gone—the conquest would fail.

權以難范，范曰：“臣所言者天道也，而岱所見者人事耳。” Sun Quan challenged him with Lü Dai’s report; Wu Fan replied, “I speak heaven’s pattern—Lü Dai saw only human circumstance.”
