《元史·本纪·卷八》
初十，行中书省上奏说： 长江、汉水那些还没有攻下的州，请派吕文焕率领他的部众到城下去向他们劝降，令对方知道我们宽厚仁慈，优待降将，这也算是一个很好的策略。 皇帝允从。
癸丑，行中书省言： 江汉未下之州，请令吕文焕率其麾下临城谕之，令彼知我宽仁，善遇降将，亦策之善者也。 
On the tenth, the Xing Zhongshu Sheng reported that: “The states along the Yangtze River and Han River that have not been conquered yet, your majesty can send Lü Wenhuan to lead his people to the city walls to persuade them to surrender. This will show them that we are lenient and仁慈towards those who surrender. This would be a very good strategy.” The emperor agreed.
