太祖命師伐鋹，既克韶州，統軍使李承渥戰死，節度副使辛延渥間道遣人勸鋹降，托堅沮其議。
When Taizu sent his army against Chang and Shao Prefecture fell, army commander Li Chenwo was killed in battle. Deputy commissioner Xin Yanwo sent an envoy by a secret route to urge surrender, but Tuo firmly blocked the proposal.
及就擒至許田，太祖遣使問托等：「昨已約降，復率眾來拒戰，及軍敗又縱火焚府庫，誰為之謀也？」
After their capture and arrival at Xutian, Taizu sent an envoy to question Tuo and his associates: "You had already agreed to surrender, yet you rallied troops to fight again, and when defeated you set fire to the storehouses. Who planned this?"
鋹諫議大夫王珪謂托曰：「昔在廣州，機務並爾輩所專，火又自內起，今天子遣使案問，爾復欲推過何人？」
Chang's Remonstrating Censor Wang Gui said to Tuo, "In Guangzhou you and your faction controlled every decision; the fire was lit from within the palace. Now the Son of Heaven sends an envoy to investigate — who else do you mean to blame?"
太祖命師克廣州，崇譽縱火焚倉廩，擒至京，與李托同戮。
When Taizu's army took Guangzhou, Chongyu set fire to the granaries. Captured and brought to the capital, he was executed alongside Li Tuo.
太祖命師度嶺，鋹復命崇徹領兵五萬戍賀江，崇徹不為效命。
When Taizu's army crossed the mountains, Chang again put Chongche in charge of fifty thousand troops to guard the He River, but Chongche refused to fight with any zeal.
鋹敗，至京，太祖知其事，特赦之，授汝州別駕，卒。
After Chang's defeat Chongche was brought to the capital. Taizu, knowing what had transpired, granted him a special pardon and appointed him Vice-Governor of Ru Prefecture, where he later died.
