《宋史·列传·卷一百七十一》
枢密调兵五千奔赴广西，孟珙致书执政说： 大理国到邕州，数千里内部落互相隔绝，现在应该选人分别到各郡，让他们分管生夷，根据地形的险易，可随宜处置，建关屯兵，确定在何处积粮聚草，这样，形成声势，国威自然振奋。
枢密调兵五千赴广西，珙移书执政曰： 大理至邕，数千里部落隔绝，今当择人分布数郡，使之分治生夷，险要形势，随宜措置，创关屯兵，积粮聚刍于何地，声势既张，国威自振。
The Privy Council transferred five thousand troops to Guangxi. Meng Gong wrote to the government officials, saying: Dali to Yongzhou, thousands of miles apart, tribes are isolated from each other. Now we should select people to be sent to various counties separately, letting them be in charge of the ethnic minorities. According to the terrain's danger, they can handle things as they see fit, establish passes and station troops, and decide where to stockpile grain and grass. In this way, the situation will take shape, and the country's prestige will be invigorated naturally.
