世宗嗣事，侯景據潁川降於西魏，詔遣金帥潘樂、薛孤延等固守河陽以備。 When Gao Cheng succeeded to affairs, Hou Jing held Yingchuan and surrendered to Western Wei; an edict dispatched Hulü Jin to command Pan Le, Xue Guyuan, and others to hold Heyang in defense.

西魏使其大都督李景和、若干寶領馬步數萬，欲從新城赴援侯景。 Western Wei sent its grand commander Li Jinghe and Jogan Bao leading several tens of thousands of horse and foot, intending to go from Xincheng to relieve Hou Jing.

侯景之走南豫，西魏儀同三司王思政入據潁川。 When Hou Jing fled to Southern Yu, Western Wei commissioner with protocol equal to three imperators Wang Sizheng entered and seized Yingchuan.
