《宋史·列传·卷一百六十二》
赵方先进攻唐州破坏敌人的计划，并派扈再兴率枣阳兵攻敌人的西部，许国率桐柏兵攻敌人东部。
方先攻唐伐其谋，及使再兴发枣阳兵击其西，国发桐柏兵击其东。
Zhao Fang preemptively attacked Tangzhou to disrupt the enemy's plan, and sent Hu Zaixing to lead the Zaoyang troops to attack the enemy's west wing, and Xu Guo to lead the Tongbai troops to attack the enemy's east wing.
