    九年春,亮軍祁山,平催督運事。秋夏之際,值天霖雨,運糧不繼,平遣參軍狐忠、督軍成籓喻指,呼亮來還;亮承以退軍。平聞軍退,乃更陽驚,說「軍糧饒足,何以便歸」!欲以解己不辦之責,顯亮不進之愆也。又表後主,說「軍偽退,欲以誘賊與戰」。亮具出其前後手筆書疏本末,平違錯章灼。平辭窮情竭,首謝罪負。於是亮表平曰:「自先帝崩後,平所在治家,尚為小惠,安身求名,無憂國之事。臣當北出,欲得平兵以鎮漢中,平窮難縱橫,無有來意,而求以五郡為巴州刺史。去年臣欲西征,欲令平主督漢中,平說司馬懿等開府闢召。臣知平鄙情,欲因行之際偪臣取利也,是以表平子豐督主江州,隆崇其遇,以取一時之務。平至之日,都委諸事,群臣上下皆怪臣待平之厚也。正以大事未定,漢室傾危,伐平之短,莫若褒之。然謂平情在於榮利而已,不意平心顛倒乃爾。若事稽留,將致禍敗,是臣不敏,言多增咎。」〈亮公文上尚書曰:「平為大臣,受恩過量,不思忠報,橫造無端,危恥不辦,迷罔上下,論獄棄科,導人為奸,(狹情)〔情狹〕志狂,若無天地。自度姦露,嫌心遂生,聞軍臨至,西鄉託疾還沮、漳,軍臨至沮,復還江陽,平參軍狐忠勤諫乃止。今篡賊未滅,社稷多難,國事惟和,可以克捷,不可苞含,以危大業。輒與行中軍師車騎將軍都鄉侯臣劉琰,使持節前軍師征西大將軍領涼州刺史南鄭侯臣魏延、前將軍都亭侯臣袁綝、左將軍領荊州刺史高陽鄉侯臣吳壹、督前部右將軍玄鄉侯臣高翔、督後部後將軍安樂亭侯臣吳班、領長史綏軍將軍臣楊儀、督左部行中監軍揚武將軍臣鄧芝、行前監軍征南將軍臣劉巴、行中護軍偏將軍臣費禕、行前護軍偏將軍漢成亭侯臣許允、行左護軍篤信中郎將臣丁咸、行右護軍偏將軍臣劉敏、行護軍征南將軍當陽亭侯臣姜維、行中典軍討虜將軍臣上官雝、行中參軍昭武中郎將臣胡濟、行參軍建義將軍臣閻晏、行參軍偏將軍臣爨習、行參軍裨將軍臣杜義、行參軍武略中郎將臣杜祺、行參軍綏戎都尉盛勃、領從事中郎武略中郎將臣樊岐等議,輒解平任,免官祿、節傳、印綬、符策,削其爵土。」〉乃廢平為民,徙梓潼郡。 〈諸葛亮又與平子豐教曰:「吾與君父子戮力以獎漢室,此神明所聞,非但人知之也。表都護典漢中,委君於東關者,不與人議也。謂至心感動,終始可保,何圖中乖乎!昔楚卿屢絀,亦乃克復,思道則福,應自然之數也。原寬慰都護,勤追前闕。今雖解任,形業失故,奴婢賓客百數十人,君以中郎參軍居府,方之氣類,猶為上家。若都護思負一意,君與公琰推心從事者,否可複通,逝可複還也。詳思斯戒,明吾用心,臨書長嘆,涕泣而已。」〉
