大軍渡鴨子河，章奴與魏國王淳妻兄蕭敵裏及其甥蕭延留等謀立淳，誘將卒三百餘人亡歸。 As the main army crossed the Yazi River, Zhangnu joined with Xiao Dili, elder brother of Prince of Wei Chun's wife, and his nephew Xiao Yanliu and others in a plot to enthrone Chun, persuading more than three hundred officers and men to desert and march home.

既而天祚為女直所敗，章奴乃遣敵裏、延留以廢立事馳報淳。 When Tianzuo was soon after defeated by the Jurchen, Zhangnu dispatched Dili and Yanliu to carry word of the planned deposition and enthronement to Chun.

會行宮使者乙信持天祚御劄至，備言章奴叛命，淳對使者號哭，即斬敵裏、延留首以獻天祚。 Just then the mobile-palace envoy Yixin arrived with an imperial rescript from Tianzuo detailing Zhangnu's treason; Chun wept before the envoy and immediately beheaded Dili and Yanliu, sending their heads to Tianzuo.
