太祖討侯莫陳悅，以導為都督，鎮原州。 When Grand Progenitor Yuwen Tai campaigned against Houmochen Yue, he made Yuwen Dao commander and garrisoned Yuan Province.

及悅敗，北走出故塞，導率騎追之，至牽屯山及悅，斬之，傳首京師。 When Houmochen Yue was defeated and fled north through the old frontier pass, Yuwen Dao led cavalry in pursuit, caught him at Qiantun Mountain, beheaded him, and sent his head to the capital.
