杜威奏，與李守貞、馬全節、安審琦、皇甫遇部領大軍赴定州。 Du Wei reported that he was marching the main army toward Dingzhou with Li Shouzhen, Ma Quanjie, An Shenqi, and Huangfu Yu.

杜威、李守貞謀曰：「我師糧運不繼，深入賊疆，而逢大敵，亡之道也。 Du Wei and Li Shouzhen conferred: "Our grain cannot keep pace; we are deep in enemy country and now face a massive foe—this is the path to annihilation.

守貞曰：「此風助我也。 Shouzhen said, "This wind is on our side.

又，《藥元福傳》：守貞與元福謀曰：「軍中饑渴已甚，若候風反出戰，吾屬為虜矣。 Also, from the 《Song History》 · Biography of Yao Yuanfu: Shouzhen and Yuanfu conferred: "The troops are starving and parched; if we wait for the wind to shift before fighting, we are finished.

守貞曰：「今日危急極矣，幸諸君奮命，吾事獲濟。 Shouzhen said, "Today we reached the brink of ruin; thanks to your desperate fighting, we have been saved.
