十一年，徐壽輝為亂，起蘄、黃，寬徹普化與其子別帖木兒、答帖木兒引兵至金剛臺，壽輝部將倪文俊敗之，執別帖木兒。 In the eleventh year Xu Shouhui rebelled, rising in Qi and Huang; Kuanchepuhua marched with his sons Bet Temür and Da Temür to Jingang Terrace, but Ni Wenjun, a general under Xu Shouhui, routed them and took Bet Temür prisoner.

十二年，壽輝偽將鄒普勝陷武昌，寬徹普化與湖廣行省平章和尚棄城走，詔追奪寬徹普化印，而誅和尚。 In the twelfth year Zou Pusheng, a rebel general of Xu Shouhui, seized Wuchang; Kuanchepuhua and Huguang pingzhang Heshang fled the city, an edict revoked Kuanchepuhua's seal, and Heshang was put to death.

未幾，復還武昌，命其子報恩奴、接待奴、佛家奴以大船四十餘只水陸並進，至沔陽攻徐壽輝偽將倪文俊，且載妃妾以行。 Before long he was back at Wuchang and sent his sons Baonenu, Jiedainu, and Fojianu forward by land and water with more than forty large ships to Mianyang to attack Ni Wenjun, a rebel general of Xu Shouhui — even bringing their consorts and concubines along.

至正十二年春，蕲、黄贼徐寿辉遣兵陷湖广，侵江东、西，诏卜颜铁木兒率军讨之。 In the spring of 1352 the bandit Xu Shouhui of Qi and Huang sent troops who overran Huguang and invaded Jiangdong and Jiangxi; an edict ordered Buyantiemuer to lead an army against them.

十二月，分道进攻蕲水县，拔其伪都，获伪将相而下四百餘人，徐寿辉仅以身免。 In the twelfth month they attacked Qishui County by separate routes, seized the rebel capital, and captured more than four hundred rebel officials and generals; Xu Shouhui alone escaped.
