於是叔孫建等尋河趣洛。 Shusun Jian and the rest then followed the river toward Luoyang.

[3]嵩與建等自成皐南濟，晉諸屯戍皆望塵奔潰。 [3] Song and Jian crossed south from Chenggao; Jin outposts everywhere broke and ran at their dust.

於是叔孫建等尋河趣洛遂入關按尋河趣洛者是叔孫建所領魏軍，入關者是劉裕所統的晉軍，這裏牽連敍述，遂似叔孫建等入關。 "Shusun Jian and others followed the river toward Luo and entered the passes": the river march was Shusun Jian's Wei force; entering the passes was Liu Yu's Jin army—the linked narrative makes it seem Jian entered the passes.
