既而阿藍答兒、渾都海為大兵所殺，其殘卒北走，眾推哈剌不花為帥。 Before long Alamdar and Hunduhai were killed by Kublai's main forces. The survivors fled north and chose Hala Buqa as their leader.

哈剌不花與鑄有婚姻之好，又哈剌不花在蜀時，嘗疾病，鑄召醫視之,遺以酒食，因釋希亮縛，謂曰：「我受恩於汝父，此圖報之秋也。」 Hala Buqa was related to Zhu by marriage, and when Hala Buqa had fallen ill in Shu, Zhu had sent a physician and provisions. He now released Xiliang from his bonds and said, "Your father once showed me kindness. This is my chance to repay it."

又百里，至也裡虔城，而哈剌不花之兵奄至，希亮又從二王興師，還至不剌城，與哈剌不花戰，敗之，盡殲其眾。 Another hundred li brought them to Yeliqian, where Hala Buqa's army fell upon them. Xiliang again followed the two princes as they raised troops, marched back to Bula, routed Hala Buqa, and destroyed his force to the last man.
