州闕司錄,命悆攝事,既行,邑氓萬餘邀留,至擁歸縣廨,時天寒,皆然火警守,布滿後先,悆由它道得出,或追拜馬首曰:「公舍我去,我必使公復來。」 When the prefecture lacked a registrar, Yu was ordered to act in that post. As he set out, more than ten thousand townspeople blocked his way and even carried him back to the county yamen. In the cold weather they lit fires along the road to keep watch. Yu escaped by another route; some pursued him and bowed at his horse's head, saying, "If you leave us, sir, we shall surely bring you back."
樞密使張浚方視師金陵,悆以策說之曰:「金重兵在淮東,師老食匱,若以精兵二萬一自壽陽,一自漢上,徑趨舊京,當不戰而退,繼以大軍尾擊,蔑有不濟者。 Military Affairs Commissioner Zhang Jun was then inspecting troops at Jinling. Chou Yu urged a plan on him: "The Jin have massed their army in Huaidong; their troops are weary and their supplies exhausted. Send twenty thousand elite troops—one column from Shouyang, one from the Han River—straight for the old capital, and the enemy should withdraw without a fight. Then follow with a larger army, and success is certain.
