《资治通鉴·唐纪·唐纪六十五》
刘潼向唐宣宗上言，请求不要调发军队去攻讨，并且说： 今天我用太阳和月亮的光明去照亮那群愚昧迷惑之众的心，让他们向您叩头归命，做到这一点十分容易。
潼上言请不发兵攻讨，且曰： 今以日月之明烛愚迷之众，使之稽颡归命，其势甚易。
Liu Tong memorialized to Emperor Xuanzong, requesting that no troops be sent to attack the bandits, and said: Today, I will use the brightness of the sun and moon to shine upon the hearts of that benighted and confused crowd, and get them to bow their heads and submit to you. This will be very easy to accomplish.
