洎王師攻城，契丹將托諾率騎萬人來援，都與契丹合兵大戰於嘉山，為王師所敗，唯餒諾以二千騎奔入定州。 When the imperial army besieged the city, the Khitan general Tuonuo led ten thousand cavalry to the rescue. Du and the Khitan joined forces and fought a great battle at Jiashan but were defeated by the imperial army. Only Nuonuo with two thousand cavalry fled into Dingzhou.

都仗之守城，呼為諾王，屈身瀝懇，冀其盡力。 Du relied on him to defend the city, called him Prince Nuo, bowed low and pleaded earnestly, hoping he would exert himself fully.

四年三月，晏球拔定州，時都校馬讓能降於曲陽門，都巷戰而敗，奔馬歸於府第，縱火焚之，府庫妻孥，一夕俱燼，惟擒托餒並其男四人、弟一人獻於行在。 In the third month of the fourth year Yanqiu captured Dingzhou. Du's officer Ma Rangneng surrendered at the Quyang Gate. Du fought in the lanes and was defeated, fled on horseback to his mansion, and set it ablaze. The treasury, wives, and children were all reduced to ashes in one night. Only Tuonuo was captured along with his four sons and one younger brother and presented at the imperial camp.

是歲，定州王都作亂，求援於契丹，德光陷平州，遣禿餒以騎五千援都於中山，招討使王晏球破之於曲陽，托諾走保賊城。 That year Wang Du of Dingzhou rebelled and called on the Khitan for help. Deguang took Pingzhou and sent Tunei with five thousand horsemen to relieve Du at Zhongshan. The pacification commissioner Wang Yanqiu defeated them at Quyang, and Tuonuo fled into the rebel city.

明年，王都平，擒托諾及餘眾，斬之。 The following year Wang Du's rebellion was crushed. Tuonuo and his remaining followers were captured and executed.
