時濟陰太守申闡據睢陵城起義，索兒率靈越等攻之。 At that time Jiyin Administrator Shen Chan had risen in loyalist revolt at Suiling. Suo'er led Lingyue and the others to attack him.

索兒聞彌之有異志，舍睢陵馳赴下邳，彌之等未戰潰散，竝為索兒所執，見殺。 Suo'er learned that Mizhi had turned coat, abandoned the siege of Suiling, and galloped to Xiapi. Mizhi's forces collapsed without a fight. Suo'er seized them all and had them executed.

令孫進據淮陽，密有反志，遣人告索兒曰：「欲相從順，而百口在都。 Lingsun advanced and occupied Huaiyang, secretly plotting rebellion. He sent a message to Suo'er: "I wish to join you, but my entire family is held in the capital.

索兒乃遣靈越向淮陽，令孫出城，為相距之形，既而奔散，北投索兒。 Suo'er sent Lingyue against Huaiyang. Lingsun came out of the city and staged a show of resistance, then broke and fled north to join Suo'er.

索兒使令孫說闡令降，闡既降，索兒執闡及令孫，並殺之。 Suo'er had Lingsun persuade Chan to surrender. Once Chan submitted, Suo'er seized both men and had them killed.

索兒因引軍渡淮，軍糧不給，掠奔百姓穀食。 Suo'er then led his army across the Huai. With provisions running short, his men plundered grain from fleeing civilians.

其年五月，軍次平原，索兒等率馬步五千，列陳距戰，擊大破之。 In the fifth month of that year the army reached Pingyuan. Suo'er and the others drew up five thousand horse and foot to give battle and were utterly defeated.

索兒又虜掠民穀，固守石樑，齊王又率鎮北參軍趙曇之、呂湛之擊之。 Suo'er plundered civilian grain again and held firm at Shiliang. The Prince of Qi led Northern Garrison aides Zhao Tanzhi and Lü Zhanzhi against him once more.

索兒軍無資實，所資野掠，既見攻逼，無以自守，於是奔散； Suo'er's army had no real supplies and lived on countryside plunder. Once the attack closed in, they could no longer hold out and broke and fled.

索兒走向樂平縣界，為申令孫子孝叔所斬。 Suo'er fled toward Leping County and was beheaded by Xiaoshu, son of Shen Lingsun.
