初，帝以不豫初平，未任親禦軍旅，既而張從恩、馬全節相次奏賊軍充斥，恒州杜威告事勢危急，帝曰：「北敵未平，固難安寢，當悉眾一戰，以救朔方生靈。 At first, with his illness only just abating, the Emperor was not yet fit to take personal command; then Zhang Cong'en and Ma Quanjie reported in turn that enemy armies swarmed everywhere, and Du Wei at Hengzhou warned that the crisis was acute. The Emperor said, "The northern foe is still abroad—how can I sleep easy? We must throw every man into one great battle to rescue the people of the north.

詔恒州杜威與馬全節等會合進軍。 An edict ordered Du Wei at Hengzhou to unite with Ma Quanjie and the others and advance.
