諸王拔都木哥、阿裏不哥、唆亦哥禿、塔察兒，大將兀良合台、速你帶、帖木迭兒、也速不花，咸會于阿剌脫忽剌兀之地，拔都首建議推戴。 Princes Batu, Möge, Ariq Böke, Sögtü, and Tachar, together with the generals Uriyangqadai, Sübetei, Temüder, and Yesu Buqa, assembled at Alagh Tagh, where Batu first moved to have him raised up.

元年辛亥夏六月，西方諸王別兒哥、脫哈帖木兒，東方諸王也古、脫忽、亦孫哥、按只帶、塔察兒、別裏古帶，西方諸大將班裏赤等，東方諸大將也速不花等，復大會於闊帖兀阿闌之地，共推帝即皇帝位於斡難河。 In the first year (xinhai), in the sixth month of summer, the western princes Berke and Toghtamur, the eastern princes Yeke, Toghu, Yissüngge, Ajai, Tachar, and Belgütei, the western generals led by Barchin, and the eastern generals led by Yesu Buqa met again at Kötö'ü Adal and together enthroned him on the Onon River.

諸王也古以怨襲諸王塔剌兒營。 Prince Yeke, nursing a grievance, raided Prince Tachar's camp.

諸王塔察兒、駙馬帖裏垓軍過東平諸處，掠民羊豕，帝聞，遣使問罪，由是諸軍無犯者。 Prince Tachar and the imperial son-in-law Teligai led their troops through Dongping and the surrounding districts, seizing the people's sheep and swine. When word reached the Emperor he sent envoys to demand an accounting, and from then on no army dared molest the populace.

宗王塔察兒率諸軍南征，圍樊城，霖雨連月，乃班師。 Prince Tachar led the southern armies against Fancheng, but month after month of rain forced him to withdraw.

命塔察攻荊山，分宋兵力。 Tachar was ordered to strike Jingshan and split the Song armies.

諸王莫哥都攻禮義山不克，諸王塔察兒略地至江而還，並會於行在所。 Prince Mögedü assaulted Liyi Mountain without success; Prince Tachar raided to the river and turned back; both rejoined the Emperor at the mobile court.
