若保州未下，但守邊戍，吾已克黃龍府，聞遼主且至，俟破大敵複益汝兵。 If Bozhou still holds out, hold the frontier posts. I have taken Huanglong Prefecture and hear the Liao emperor is coming. Once we defeat him I will send you more troops.

太祖已破走遼主軍，撒喝破合主、順化二城，複請濟師攻保州，使斡魯以甲士千人往。 After Taizu had routed the Liao emperor's army, Saha captured Hezhu and Shunhua and again asked for troops to take Bozhou. Taizu sent Wolu with a thousand armored men.

複以遼帝亡入夏國報之。 They also reported that the Liao emperor had fled into Western Xia territory.

高隨、斜野奉使高麗，至境上，接待之禮不遜，隨等不敢往，太宗曰：「高麗世臣於遼，當以事遼之禮事我，而我國有新喪，遼主未獲，勿遽強之。」 Gao Sui and Xieye were sent to Goryeo, but at the frontier the reception was insufficiently deferential and they dared not enter. Taizong said, "Goryeo long served the Liao and should observe the same rites toward us—but the court is in mourning and the Liao emperor is not yet captured. Do not press them yet."
