高祖又遣右衛將軍昌義之、太僕卿魚弘文、直閤曹世宗、徐元和相次距守。 Gaozu sent Chang Yizhi, Yu Hongwen, Cao Shizong, and Xu Yuanhe in turn to reinforce the defense.

明年，魏遣將李曇定大衆逼荊山，揚聲欲決堰，詔假義之節，帥太僕卿魚弘文、直閤將軍曹世宗、徐元和等救絢，軍未至，絢等已破魏軍。 Next year Wei sent Li Tanding with a large force against Jingshan, claiming they would burst the dam; Yizhi was given acting credentials and led Yu Hongwen, grand master of the imperial stud, direct-attendant Cao Shizong, Xu Yuanhe, and others to aid Xuan—the relief force had not arrived when Xuan had already routed Wei.
