又明年，為中統元年，世祖即位，阿里不哥反，遣使召主將渾都海。 Another year passed—the first year of the Zhongtong reign. Kublai ascended the throne, Ariq Böke rose in revolt, and dispatched envoys to summon the commander Hunduhai.

鑄說渾都海等入朝，皆不從，則棄其妻子，挺身來歸。 Zhu urged Hunduhai and his officers to present themselves at court, but they refused. He then left his wife and children behind and came alone to Kublai's side.

既而渾都海知鑄去，怒，遣百騎追之不及。 When Hunduhai learned of Zhu's defection, he flew into a rage and sent a hundred horsemen in pursuit, but they failed to catch him.

渾都海怒，詬曰：「我焉得知之，其父今亡命東見皇帝矣！」 Hunduhai flew into a rage and shouted, "How should I know? His father has already fled east to pay court to the emperor!"

阿藍答兒熟視渾都海曰：「此言深有意焉。」 Alamdar fixed a long look on Hunduhai and said, "Those words carry a pointed meaning."

既而阿藍答兒、渾都海為大兵所殺，其殘卒北走，眾推哈剌不花為帥。 Before long Alamdar and Hunduhai were killed by Kublai's main forces. The survivors fled north and chose Hala Buqa as their leader.
