四年春正月，如春州。 初，女直起兵，以紇石烈部人阿疏不從，遣其部撒改討之。 阿疏弟狄故保來告，詔諭使勿討，不聽，阿疏來奔。 至是女直遣使來索，不發。
In the fourth year, in the first spring month the court went to Chun Prefecture. Initially when Jurchen raised troops, Ashu of the Hesilie division did not follow; his division was sent Sagai to attack him. Ashu's younger brother Dibao came to report; an edict admonished that he not be attacked; they did not listen; Ashu came to flee. By then Jurchen sent envoys to demand him back; he was not handed over.

In the seventh autumn month Jurchen again sent envoys to take Ashu; he was not handed over; Attendant-in-Waiting Axi Bao was then sent to ask the reason for many castles built on the border. Jurchen answered in insolent words, "If Ashu is returned, tribute as before; otherwise the building of castles cannot cease. Thereupon armies north of the Hun River were mobilized and the Northeast Route supreme command office was strengthened. Aguda then plotted with his younger brothers Nianhan, Hushe, and others — [10]: making Yinjishuge, Yilie, Loushi, Mu, and others commanders, he gathered Jurchen divisions and captured Liao border hawk officials. When they attacked Ningzhou, the Northeast Route supreme command office reported it. At the time the emperor was shooting deer at Qing Prefecture; on hearing it he was little concerned and dispatched Haizhou prefect Gao Xianshou to command Bohai troops in relief. Xiao Tabuye encountered Jurchen and fought east of Ningzhou; he was defeated.

冬十月壬寅朔，」一一：以守司空蕭嗣先為東北路都統，靜江軍節度使蕭撻不也為副，發契丹奚軍三千人，中京禁兵及土豪二千人，別選諸路武勇二千餘人，以虞候崔公義為都押官，控鶴指揮邢穎為副，引軍屯出河店。 兩軍對壘，女直軍潛渡混同江，掩擊遼眾。 蕭嗣先軍潰，崔公義、邢穎、耶律佛留、蕭葛十等死之，其獲免者十有七人。 蕭奉先懼其弟嗣先獲罪，輒奏東征潰軍所至劫掠，若不肆赦，恐聚為患。 上從之，嗣先但免官而已。 諸軍相謂曰：「戰則有死而無功，退則有生而無罪。」 故士無鬥志，望風奔潰。

The two armies faced each other; Jurchen troops secretly crossed Huntong River and struck the Liao force by surprise. Xiao Sixian's army collapsed; Cui Gongyi, Xing Ying, Yelü Foliu, Xiao Geshi, and others died; of those who escaped barely seventeen men. Xiao Fengxian feared his younger brother Sixian would be punished and memorialized that the eastern expedition's routed troops everywhere plundered; unless a sweeping pardon were granted they might gather into trouble. The emperor followed this; Sixian was only dismissed from office. The armies said to one another, "In battle there is death without merit; in retreat there is life without guilt. Therefore the soldiers had no fighting will and fled at sight of the wind.
