昔豫子吞炭壞形以奉見異，齊客隕首公門以報恩施，知氏、孟嘗猶有死士，何況將軍之門！」 Yurang disfigured himself with charcoal for his lord; a Qi retainer dashed out his brains at the gate to repay a kindness. Even the houses of Zhi Bo and Lord Mengchang kept men willing to die—how much more may your own gate command such loyalty!"

Book of Liang, Chapter 14Volume 14: Jiang Yan; Ren Fang · 1 passage

實佩荊卿黃金之賜，竊感豫讓國士之分矣。 He truly bore the gift of Jing Ke's gold and felt in his bones the debt Yu Rang owed a lord of the land.
