《后汉书·列传·李王邓来列传》
南阳的刘氏宗室，只有刘伯升兄弟能泛爱并容纳群众，可以与他们共谋灭王莽兴汉朝的大事。 李通笑着说： 我的意见也是这样。 等到光武避难在宛，李通听说了就派李轶去迎接光武。
南阳宗室，独刘伯升兄弟泛爱容众，可与谋大事。 通笑曰： 吾意也。 会光武避吏在宛，通闻之，即遣轶往迎光武。
Among the Liu clan relatives in Nanyang, only Liu Bocheng and his brother were able to be generous and embrace the masses, and we can conspire with them to kill Wang Mang and restore the Han Dynasty." Li Tong smiled and said, "I think so too." When Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu found refuge in Wancheng, Li Tong heard about it and sent Li Yi to welcome Guangwu.
