《宋史·列传·卷一百七十一》
恰好侦知大元兵在襄、樊、随、信阳招集军民播种，把造船的木材堆放在邓州的顺阳，于是孟珙就派张汉英出兵随州，任义出兵信阳，焦进出兵襄阳，分路干扰敌人的势头。
会谍知大元兵于襄樊随、信阳招集军民布种，积船材于邓之顺阳，乃遣张汉英出随，任义出信阳，焦进出襄，分路挠其势。
It was discovered that the Great Yuan army was gathering soldiers and farmers to sow seeds in Xiang, Fan, Sui, and Xinyang and piling up wood for shipbuilding in Shunyang in Dengzhou. Meng Gong dispatched Zhang Hanying to lead troops to Suizhou, Ren Yi to lead troops to Xinyang, and Jiao Jin to lead troops to Xiangyang to disrupt the enemy's momentum from different routes.
