《明史·列传·卷一百四十九》
当时，湖北、河南的贼兵及迎祥等人的贼兵都躲在陕西、湖北、四川交界地带的群山之中，象升从南阳开赴襄阳进兵作战。
是时，楚、豫贼及迎祥等俱在秦、楚、蜀之交万山中，象升自南阳趋襄阳进兵。
At that time, the bandits from Hubei, Henan and Yingxiang's bandits were all hiding in the mountains at the junction of Shaanxi, Hubei and Sichuan, and Xiang Sheng set out from Nanyang to Xiangyang to engage in battle.
