田弘正之度河也，禽其將夏侯澄等四十七人，有詔悉赦之，給繒絮，還隸魏博、義成軍，父母在欲還者優遣，賊皆感慰相告，由是悟得行其謀。 When Tian Hongzheng crossed the river he captured forty-seven officers including Xiahou Cheng; the court pardoned them all, clothed them, and sent them back to Weibo and Yicheng—with generous leave for those whose parents wanted them home. The rebels were deeply moved, which is how Wu won them to his mutiny.
