二月甲寅，都督何福及陳暉、平安軍濟寧，盛庸軍淮上。 On the jiayin day of the second month, He Fu joined Chen Hui and Ping An at Jining while Sheng Yong held the line on the Huai.

夏四月丁卯，何福、平安敗燕兵於小河，斬其將陳文。 In the fourth month of summer, on the dingmao day, He Fu and Ping An routed the Yan army at Xiaohe and killed their general Chen Wen.

會帝聞訛言，謂燕兵已北，召輝祖還，何福軍亦孤。 Just then the emperor heard a rumor that the Yan army had already withdrawn north; he recalled Xu Huizu, leaving He Fu's force stranded alone.
