論曰：雷正綰、陶茂林、曹克忠皆多隆阿部下戰將。 The appraisal states: Lei Zhengwan, Tao Maolin, and Cao Kezhong were all fighting generals who had served under Duo Longa.

克忠較有謀略，其軍獨全，終以病引退，後猶稱為宿將。 Kezhong was the most astute of the three; his army alone stayed intact. He eventually withdrew on grounds of illness, yet was still spoken of afterward as a veteran commander.
