歲戊午，憲宗兵至閬州之大獲城，遣宋降臣王仲入招大淵，大淵殺之。 In the wuwu year (1258), the armies of Emperor Xianzong (Möngke) reached Dahuocheng in Langzhou; he sent the Song turncoat Wang Zhong to negotiate Dayuan's surrender, but Dayuan had him killed.

憲宗怒，督諸軍力攻，大淵懼，遂以城降。 Enraged, Xianzong pressed all his forces in a fierce assault; Dayuan, in fear, surrendered the city.

憲宗命誅之，汪田哥諫止，乃免。 Xianzong ordered him put to death, but Wang Tiange intervened and persuaded him to desist, so Dayuan was spared.
