剌葛遣其党寅底石引兵徑趨行宮，焚其輜重、廬帳，縱兵大殺。 Cige sent his follower Yindishi to march straight on the traveling palace, burn the baggage train and tents, and unleash his troops in a great slaughter.

夏四月戊寅，北追剌葛。 In the fourth summer month, on wuyin day, he marched north in pursuit of Cige.

剌葛率兵逆戰，迪裏古以輕兵薄之。 Cige led his troops out to give battle, and Diligu harried him with light forces.

相拒至晡，眾乃潰。 The two sides held each other until late afternoon, and then Cige's men collapsed.

剌葛奔潰，遺其所奪神帳於路，上見而拜奠之。 Cige fled in disorder, abandoning on the road the sacred tent he had seized; when the Emperor came upon it, he bowed and made offering.

甲寅，奏擒剌葛、涅裏袞阿缽於榆河，前北宰相蕭實魯、寅底石自剄不殊。 On jiayin day came word that Cige and Nieligun'abo had been taken at Yu River; the former northern chancellor Xiao Shilu and Yindishi slashed their own throats but did not die.

壬戌，剌葛、涅裏袞阿缽詣行在，以稿索自縛，牽羊望拜。 On renxu day Cige and Nieligun'abo came to the traveling court, bound themselves with straw ropes, led sheep before them, and bowed from afar.

時大軍久出，輜重不相屬，士卒煮馬駒、采野菜以為食，孳畜道斃者十七八，物價十倍，器服資貨委棄於楚裏河，狼藉數百里，因更剌葛名暴裏。 The great army had been in the field a long time; the baggage trains could not keep pace; the soldiers boiled foals and gathered wild greens to eat; seven or eight out of ten head of livestock died along the road; prices rose tenfold; arms, clothing, goods, and valuables were cast away along the Chuli River and lay strewn for hundreds of li; for this Cige's name was changed to Baoli.
