《元史·列传·卷六十》
诸将忿恨潭州军民持久抵抗，要把他们都杀掉，斌耐心向他们讲明兴师南伐的本意，不是杀人，而是取得土地和民众。诸将还要求 ：百姓按照公所说不杀，敌兵则必全诛。 
诸将怒其抗敌持久，咸欲屠之。斌喻以兴师本意，诸将曰： 编民当如公说，敌兵必诛之。 
The generals were furious about the protracted resistance of the Tan Prefecture army and people, and wanted to kill them all. Bin patiently explained to them that the original intention of the Northern Expedition was not to kill people, but to obtain land and people. The generals also requested: " According to what the Duke said, the people will not be killed, but the enemy soldiers must be killed."
