楊大淵文安附 Yang Dayuan (with biography of Wen'an appended)

先是，大淵建言，謂取吳必先取蜀，取蜀必先據夔，乃遣其姪文安攻宋巴渠。 Previously Dayuan had advised that conquering Wu required first conquering Shu, and conquering Shu required first securing Kui; he then dispatched his nephew Wen'an to attack Baqu in Song territory.

復使文安相夔、達要衝，城蟠龍山。 He again sent Wen'an to reconnoiter the vital passes of Kui and Da and build a fortress on Panlong Mountain.

文安悉力備禦，大淵聞有宋兵，即遣姪安撫使文仲將兵往援。 Wen'an made every preparation for defense. When Dayuan learned Song forces were approaching, he at once dispatched his nephew, Pacification Commissioner Wenzhong, with troops to reinforce.

文安擒之以聞，詔誅琳。 Wen'an seized him and reported to court; an edict ordered Lin put to death.
