回初與屯騎校尉王宜與同石頭之謀，太祖隱其事，猶以重兵付回而配以腹心。 Hui had plotted at Stone City with Wang Yiyu, Colonel of the Martial Riders; the Grand Ancestor buried the affair but still gave him a large command and set trusted men at his elbow.

宜與拳捷，善舞刀楯，回嘗使十餘人以水交灑，不能著。 Yiyu was lightning with fist and shield-dance; Hui once set a dozen men to fling water at him from every side, and not a thread of him was wet.

旣慮宜與反己，乃先撤其軍將，宜與不與，回發怒不從處分，擅斬之。 Fearing Yiyu would betray him, he pulled Yiyu's officers away first. Yiyu refused; Hui in a rage ignored the order and killed him outright.
