《三国志·蜀书·霍王向张杨费传》
当时永昌郡的少数民族仪仗天险很不臣服，多次侵犯边境，于是朝廷任命霍弋兼任永昌太守，率领部分军队征讨他们，最后斩杀了他们的首领，攻破了他们的部落，永昌郡边界自此安定下来。
时永昌郡夷獠恃险不宾，数为寇害，乃以弋领永昌太守，率偏军讨之，遂斩其豪帅，破坏邑落，郡界宁静。
At that time the ethnic minorities of Yongchang Commandery relied on their natural defenses and did not submit to authority, repeatedly invading the border areas. Therefore the court appointed Huo Yi to concurrently serve as prefect of Yongchang, leading troops to fight against them, and finally killing their leader and conquering their tribe. The border of Yongchang Commandery was stabilized from then on.
