詔進官三階，升鎮南軍節度使，駐益都，與元帥蒙古綱相應接，充宣差都提控。 He was promoted three ranks by edict, made military commissioner of the Zhennan Army, and stationed at Yidu to coordinate with Marshal Menggugang as special commissioner and overall army controller.

十二月，大元兵徇地博興、樂安、壽光，東涉濰州之境，蒙古綱遣合達率兵屢戰于壽光、臨淄。 In December the Great Yuan army overran Boxing, Le'an, and Shouguang and pushed east into Wei Prefecture; Menggugang dispatched Heda, who fought repeated engagements at Shouguang and Linzi.
