吴王夫差乃告诸大夫曰、孤将有大志于齐、吾将许越成、而无拂吾虑。若越既改、吾又何求、若其不改、反行、吾振旅焉。申胥谏曰、不可许也。夫越非实忠心好吴也、又非慑畏吾甲兵之彊也。大夫种勇而善谋、将还玩吴国于股掌之上、以得其志。夫固知君王之盖威以好胜也、故婉约其辞、以从逸王志、使淫乐于诸夏之国、以自伤也。使吾甲兵钝弊、民人离落、而日以憔悴、然后安受吾烬。夫越王好信以爱民、四方归之、年谷时熟、日长炎炎、及吾犹可以战也、为虺弗摧、为蛇将若何。吴王曰、大夫奚隆于越、越曾足以为大虞乎。若无越、则吾何以春秋曜吾军士。乃许之成。将盟、越王又使诸稽郢辞曰、以盟为有益乎、前盟口血未干、足以结信矣。以盟为无益乎、君王舍甲兵之威以临使之、而胡重于鬼神而自轻也。吴王乃许之。荒成不盟。 夫差广侈已极、只越曾足为大虞一语、虽有百谏诤、亦莫之入矣。胥、种谋国之智、若出一辙。而吴由以亡、越由以霸、用与不用异耳。
