從須陀進擊李密於滎陽，軍敗，須陀死之，叔寶以餘眾附裴仁基。 He followed Xuantuo against Li Mi at Xingyang; when Xuantuo was killed, Shubao joined Pei Renji.

會仁基以武牢降於李密，密得叔寶大喜，以為帳內驃騎，待之甚厚。 When Renji surrendered Wulao to Li Mi, Mi was delighted and made Shubao a flying-cavalry general in his guard, treating him generously.

密與化及大戰於黎陽童山，為流矢所中，墮馬悶絕。 In a great battle with Yu Huaji at Tongshan in Liyang, Mi was struck by a stray arrow and fell unconscious from his horse.

左右奔散，追兵且至，唯叔寶獨捍衛之，密遂獲免。 His guards fled; pursuers were closing in; only Shubao defended him until Mi was safe.

後密敗，又為王世充所得，署龍驤大將軍。 After Mi's defeat Wang Shichong took him and made him dragon-soaring grand general.
