文安乃移兵攻萬州之牛頭城，殺守將何威，遷其民，進圍萬州，守將上官夔戰守甚力。 Wen'an then moved against Niutou City in Wanzhou, killed the defender He Wei, relocated the inhabitants, and pressed the siege of Wanzhou, where Shangguan Kui resisted with fierce determination.

遣經歷徐政諭守臣上官夔降，夔不從，圍之數匝，踰月，攻拔外城。 Commissioner Xu Zheng was sent to urge the defender Shangguan Kui to yield; Kui refused. The siege ringed the city severalfold; after more than a month the outer walls fell.

萬州奪氣，文安復傳王旨，諭夔使降，夔終不屈。 Wanzhou's morale collapsed. Wen'an again conveyed the prince's summons for Kui to surrender, but Kui would not bend.
