王世充兄子偽代王琬，使於建德軍中，乘隋煬帝所御驄馬，鎧甲甚鮮，迥出軍前以誇眾。 Wang Shichong's nephew Wang Wan, the rebel Prince of Dai, was with Dou's army; he rode Emperor Yang's famous piebald stallion in gleaming armor, prancing before the lines to impress the troops.

敬德請往取之，乃與高甑生、梁建方三騎直入賊軍，擒琬，引其馬以歸，賊眾無敢當者。 Jingde volunteered to take it; with Gao Zengsheng and Liang Jianfang he charged straight into the enemy ranks, seized Wang Wan and his horse, and rode back unopposed.
