昭武大將軍斡論，正隆末，被詔佩金牌，取河南兵四百人，監完顏彀英軍於歸化，次彰德。
Wolun, Grand General of Martial Illumination, late in the Zhenglong reign was ordered to wear the golden plaque, muster four hundred troops from Henan, and oversee Wanyan Gu Ying's forces at Guihua, stopping at Zhangde.
和尚使人招之，斡論不聽，率兵來迎，和尚亦以所將蒲輦兵，列陣待之。
Heshang sent envoys to call him in; Wolun refused and marched to confront him. Heshang, for his part, drew up the Pulan troops he commanded and waited in battle array.
斡論兵皆不肯戰，遂請降。
Wolun's men would not fight at all, and so they asked to surrender.
和尚邀之入相州，收其甲兵，置酒相勞，斡論托腹疾，不肯飲。
Heshang brought him into Xiang Prefecture, disarmed his men, and set a feast to honor them. Wolun claimed a stomach ailment and would not drink.
稍具弓矢，和尚覺之，佯為不知，使其從者迫而伺之，斡論不得發。
Bows and arrows were quietly readied. Heshang saw it but played ignorant, ordering his attendants to crowd in and watch; Wolun never found his opening.
上至中都近郊，斡論上謁，上亦撫慰之。
When the emperor came to the suburbs of the Central Capital, Wolun presented himself; the emperor received him with reassurance.
斡論自慊，初無降志。
Wolun was ill at ease with himself; he had never meant to submit in the first place.
及河南統軍司令史斡里朵，為人狡險，憙圖事，斡論取兵于河南統軍使陁滿訛里也，斡里朵與俱來，俱不自安。
Then there was Wolidu, clerk to the Henan frontier commander—a man sly, treacherous, and greedy for intrigue. Wolun had taken soldiers from the Henan frontier commissioner Tuoman E'eli; Wolidu came with them, and none of the party felt secure.
於是可喜、斡論、李惟忠、斡里朵、璋、布輝謀，欲因扈從軍士怨望作亂。
Then Kexi, Wolun, Li Weizhong, Wolidu, Zhang, and Buhui conspired to turn the grumbling of the emperor's escort troops into open rebellion.
斡論曰：「押軍猛安沃窟刺，必不違我。」
Wolun said: "The escort meng'an Wokulu will never go against me."
斡論往約沃窟刺，沃窟刺從之。
Wolun went to win Wokulu over, and Wokulu consented.
乙亥夜，召斡論、惟忠、斡里朵、璋、布輝會其家，沃窟刺以兵赴之，璋曰：「今不高松軍，事不可成矣。」
That night, on yihai, he called Wolun, Li Weizhong, Wolidu, Zhang, and Buhui to his home. Wokulu came with soldiers. Zhang said: "Without Gao Song's troops, this cannot be done."
可喜、璋、布輝乃擒斡論、惟忠、斡里朵、沃窟刺，詣有司自首。
Kexi, Zhang, and Buhui then seized Wolun, Li Weizhong, Wolidu, and Wokulu and surrendered themselves to the officials.
既下詔獄，可喜不肯自言其始謀，及與斡論面質，然後款伏。
After they were committed to the imperial prison, Kexi would not admit the original plot of his own accord; only when he was confronted with Wolun did he confess everything.
遂誅斡論、惟忠、斡里朵、沃窟刺等，其沃窟刺下謀克士卒皆釋之。
Wolun, Li Weizhong, Wolidu, Wokulu, and the others were put to death; the company-command soldiers under Wokulu were all released.
