吳明徹至臨川，令眾軍作連城攻迪，相拒不能剋，世祖乃遣高宗總督討之，迪眾潰，妻子悉擒，乃脫身踰嶺之晉安，依于陳寶應。 Wu Mingche reached Linchuan and ordered linked siegeworks against Di; they faced each other without victory; Emperor Wen then sent Emperor Gaozong to command the campaign overall; Di's men collapsed, wife and children all taken; he alone fled over the ranges to Jin'an and clung to Chen Baoying.

世祖遣都督章昭達征迪，迪又散于山谷。 Emperor Wen sent commander Zhang Zhaoda against Di; Di again melted into the hills.

世祖遣都督程靈洗擊破之，迪又與十餘人竄于山穴中，日月轉久，相隨者亦稍苦之。 Emperor Wen sent area commander Cheng Lingxi to break them. Di fled into the hills with a dozen men. Time wore on, and even his companions began to suffer.
