及破蕭海里，使斡魯罕往高麗報捷，高麗亦使使來賀。 After the defeat of Xiao Haili, he sent Woluhan to Goryeo with news of the victory, and Goryeo returned the courtesy with congratulatory envoys.

未幾，複使斜葛與斡魯罕往聘，高麗王曰：「斜葛，女直之族弟也，其禮有加矣。」 Not long after, he sent Xiege and Woluhan on another mission. The Goryeo king remarked, "Xiege is a junior kinsman of the Jurchen chiefs—let his reception be especially generous."
