尼可罗·马基雅维利《君主论》· The Prince · 领导 · 历史
Auxiliaries, which are the other useless arm, are employed when a prince is called in with his forces to aid and defend, as was done by Pope Julius in the most recent times; for he, having, in the enterprise against Ferrara, had poor proof of his mercenaries, turned to auxiliaries, and stipulated with Ferdinand, King of Spain,[1] for his assistance with men and arms. These arms may be useful and good in themselves, but for him who calls them in they are always disadvantageous; for losing, one is undone, and winning, one is their captive.

白话
援军是另一种无用的武装,即请外国君主带兵来援助防御。教皇尤利乌斯二世在进攻费拉拉时,雇佣军表现不佳,便转向援军,与西班牙国王斐迪南约定提供兵力和武器。援军本身可能有用,但对求助者总是不利:输了你就完蛋,赢了你就成了他们的俘虏。所以,借来的力量再强,主动权不在你手。
上下文
《君主论》批判援军,以教皇尤利乌斯二世为例。
