和朔奴議欲引退，恒德曰：「以彼倔強，吾奉詔來討，無功而還，諸部謂我何！ Heshuonu deliberated on withdrawing. Hengde said: "They are so stubborn, yet we came by imperial edict to chastise them. If we return without achievement, what will the tribes say of us!

和朔奴不得已，進擊東南諸部，至高麗北鄙。 Heshuonu had no choice. They advanced and attacked the southeastern tribes, reaching the northern marches of Goryeo.
