《资治通鉴·秦纪·秦纪一》
李牧多设奇阵，指挥部队从左、右两翼进行包抄，大破敌兵，斩杀匈奴十多万人马，乘胜灭掉了代地以北的胡族褴，攻破东胡，使林胡部族归降。
李牧多为奇陈，张左、右翼击之，大破之，杀匈奴十馀万骑，灭衤詹褴，破东胡，降林胡。
Li Mu often used unusual battle formations, commanding his troops to outflank the enemy from the left and right wings, crushing the enemy, killing hundreds of thousands of Huns, then taking advantage to destroy the northern Hu of the Dai territory, defeating the Dong Hu, and forcing the Lin Hu tribe to surrender.
