至元十一年，阿里海牙奏請率十萬眾渡江，朝議難之，帝密問曰：「汝試筮之，濟否？」 In the eleventh year of Zhiyuan (1274), Alihaiya petitioned to lead a hundred thousand troops across the Yangtze; the court was divided. The emperor asked Zhongliang privately, "Divine for me — will the crossing succeed?"

十一年，國兵渡江，平章阿里海牙遣使求砲手匠，命阿老瓦丁往，破潭州、靜江等郡，悉賴其力。 In 1274, as the imperial army crossed the Yangtze, Pingzhang Alihaiya sent for cannon masters and craftsmen and dispatched Ala al-Din. The fall of Tanzhou, Jingjiang, and other commanderies owed everything to his skill.
