河陰之戰，司徒高昂失利退。 At the Battle of Heyin, Minister of Works Gao Ang suffered defeat and withdrew.

永樂守河陽南城，昂走趣城，西軍追者將至，永樂不開門，昂遂為西軍所擒。 Yongle held the southern city of Heyang; Ang fled toward the city, and as the Western army's pursuers were about to arrive, Yongle would not open the gate — Ang was thereupon captured by the Western army.
