《三国志·吴书·程黄韩蒋周陈董甘淩徐》
凌统认为山中人还有不少强壮剽悍者，可用恩威并施招诱他们，孙权就命令他往东占领土地并征讨那些山里人，又下令各所属的州郡官员，凡是凌统所需物品，都要先提供给他然后再上报。
统以山中人尚多壮悍，可以威恩诱也，权令东占且讨之，命敕属城，凡统所求，皆先给后闻。
Ling Tong believed that there were still many strong and fierce people in the mountains, and that he could use kindness and authority to recruit them. Sun Quan ordered him to go east to occupy the land and conquer the mountain people. He also ordered the officials of the prefecture to provide Ling Tong with whatever he needed before reporting it.
