軍至威戎東與敵遇，擊走之，生致二人，問之，乃知為夏將李遇取威戎也，乃還其人而與李遇通問。 East of Weirong they met the enemy, drove them off, and took two prisoners alive. Questioning revealed that Xia general Li Yu had seized Weirong, so they released the captives and opened correspondence with Li Yu.

李遇軍威戎西，蒲察軍威戎東，而使使議事于婁室。 Li Yu held Weirong from the west and Pucha from the east, and envoys were dispatched to consult Loushi.

李遇使人來曰：「夏國既以天德、雲內歸大國，大國許我陝西北鄙之地，是以至此。」 Li Yu's envoy said: "Xia has surrendered Tiande and Yunnei to the Great State, and the Great State granted us the northwestern Shaanxi marches—that is why we are here."
