軍次通穀，謙守將李三王擁勁兵拒守，睿以威為先鋒。 The army halted at Tonggu, where Qian's defender Li Sanwang held the pass with elite troops; Rui made Wei his vanguard.

三王初閉壘不戰，威令人詈侮以激怒之，三王果出陣。 Sanwang at first refused battle behind his walls; Wei had men taunt and insult him until Sanwang came out to fight.

威令壯士奮擊，三王軍潰，大兵繼至，於是擒斬四千餘人。 Wei sent his best fighters forward; Sanwang's army broke, the main force followed, and more than four thousand were killed or captured.
