五十九年二月，上命平逆將軍延信自青海入西藏，而授噶爾弼定西將軍，偕都統武格將四川、雲南兵出拉里。 In the second month of Kangxi 59 the Emperor ordered Yanxin, Pacification General of the West, into Tibet from Qinghai and made Garbi General Dingxi, with Wu Ge, to march Sichuan and Yunnan forces from Lari.

策零敦多卜自將拒延信，而遣其黨春丕勒宰桑將二千六百人自章米爾戎拒噶爾弼。 Tsering Dondob himself opposed Yanxin while sending his partisan Chunpille zaisang with 2,600 troops from Zhangmi'er Rong to hold Garbi off.

策零敦多卜為延信所破，遁走。 Tsering Dondob was broken by Yanxin and fled.

延信留駐西藏，六十年，以病召還，命噶爾弼佩定西將軍往代。 Yanxin stayed on in Tibet. In Kangxi 60 he was recalled for illness, and Garbi was sent back as General Dingxi to take his place.
