尋而晉太尉劉裕總大軍伐泓，次於彭城，遣冠軍將軍檀道濟、龍驤將軍王鎮惡入自淮、肥，攻漆丘、項城，將軍沈林子自汴入河，攻倉垣。 Soon Liu Yu of Jin massed at Pengcheng and sent Tan Daoji and Wang Zhen'e through Huai-Fei against Qiqiu and Xiangcheng while Shen Linzi struck Cangyuan from Bian.

泓將王苟生以漆丘降鎮惡，徐州刺史姚掌以項城降道濟，王師遂入潁口，所至多降服。 Wang Gousheng yielded Qiqiu to Wang Zhen'e, Yao Zhang yielded Xiangcheng to Tan Daoji, and the Jin host poured through Yingkou almost unopposed.

姚紹聞王師之至，還長安，言於泓曰：「晉師已過許昌，豫州、安定孤遠，卒難救衛，宜遷諸鎮戶內實京畿，可得精兵十萬，足以橫行天下。 Yao Shao raced back to warn Yao Hong: "Jin is past Xuchang—Yuzhou and Anding are too far to save. Move frontier households into the capital for a hundred thousand veterans.

泓從之。 Yao Hong sided with Liang Xi.

吏部郎懿橫密言於泓曰：「齊公恢于廣平之難有忠勳于陛下，自陛下龍飛紹統，未有殊賞以答其意。 Personnel clerk Yi Heng whispered: "Yao Hui saved you at Guangping yet has never been richly rewarded.

泓曰：「恢若懷不逞之心，征之適所以速禍耳。」 Yao Hong said: "If Yao Hui is disloyal, recalling him would only hasten revolt."

泓遣越騎校尉閻生率騎三千以赴之，武衛姚益男將步卒一萬助守洛陽，又遣征東、并州牧姚懿南屯陝津為之聲援。 Yao Hong sent Yan Sheng with three thousand horse, Yao Yinan with ten thousand foot to Luoyang, and Yao Yi to Shan ford as a screen.
