世宗征淮南，詔俶攻常、宣二州以牽李景，俶治國中兵以待。 When Emperor Shizong marched on Huainan, he ordered Chu to strike Chang and Xuan prefectures to pin down Li Jing. Chu mustered the realm's forces and waited.

顯德四年，詔遣左諫議大夫尹日就、吏部郎中崔頌等使於俶，世宗諭之曰：「朕此行決平江北，卿等還當陸來也。」 In Xiande 4 an edict sent Left Remonstrator Yin Riujiu, Ministry of Personnel Bureau Director Cui Song, and others as envoys to Chu. Emperor Shizong told them, "I mean to pacify the lands north of the river on this campaign. When you return, you will come by land."

世宗已平淮南，遣使賜俶兵甲旗幟、橐駝羊馬。 After Shizong pacified Huainan, he sent envoys bearing armor, flags and banners, camels, sheep, and horses as gifts to Chu.

及世宗平淮南，宋興，荊、楚諸國相次歸命，俶勢益孤，始傾其國以事貢獻。 When Shizong pacified Huainan and the Song dynasty rose, the states of Jing and Chu submitted one after another. Chu grew ever more isolated and began to drain the realm for tribute.
