《元史·列传·卷三十一》
侦探报告说，有比官军多数十倍的义军自上流乘舰顺风而下。诸将惊恐失色，星吉说： 没关系，风势盛，敌舰停泊困难，我们埋伏在港湾河汊内，等敌军过了我们再随后出击，无不取胜。 
伺者告贼舰至自上流，顺风举帆，众且数十倍，诸将失色。星吉曰： 无伤也，风势盛，彼仓卒必不得泊，但伏横港中偃旗以待，俟过而击之，无不胜矣。 
Scouts reported that there were more than ten times as many rebels as the imperial army coming downstream on warships with the wind. The generals were terrified, but Xingji said, "It doesn't matter. The wind is strong, and it will be difficult for the enemy's ships to stop. We will lie in wait in the harbor and river channels, and when the enemy's ships have passed us, we will attack them from behind. We will surely defeat them."
