可遣使持節、都督南徐州諸軍事、征北將軍、司空、南徐州刺史桂陽郡開國公安都指往擒戮，罪止異身，餘無所問。 Let bearer of credentials, commander-in-chief of South Xuzhou, campaign-north general, minister of works, inspector of South Xuzhou, and founding duke of Guiyang Andu go to seize and kill him. Guilt rests on Yi alone; no one else will be punished.

異本謂官軍自錢塘江而上，安都乃由會稽、諸暨步道襲之。 Yi expected the imperial army up the Qiantang. Andu marched overland through Kuaiji and Zhuji instead.

明年春，安都大破其柵，異與第二子忠臣奔于陳寶應，於是虜其餘黨男女數千人。 Next spring Andu smashed the palisades. Yi and his second son Zhongchen fled to Chen Baoying. Several thousand followers, men and women, were taken.
