乃選精騎八百趨信都，存審扼下博橋，建瑭與李嗣肱分道擒生。 He chose eight hundred elite cavalry and hurried to Xindu. Cunshen held the Xiabo Bridge while Jiantang and Li Sigu split their forces to take prisoners.

明日，建瑭、嗣肱為梁軍服色，與芻牧者相雜，晡晚，及賀德倫寨門，殺守門者，縱火大噪，俘斬而去。 The next day Jiantang and Sigu dressed in Liang uniforms and mingled with the foragers. Near dusk they reached He Delun's camp gate, killed the guards, set fires and raised a great uproar, then killed and captured as they withdrew.
