列傳第九孫處蒯恩劉鐘[1] 虞丘進 Biographies 9: Sun Chu, Kuai En, Liu Zhong, and Yu Qiujin

虞丘進字豫之，東海郯人也。 Yu Qiujin, whose courtesy name was Yuzhi, was a native of Tan in Donghai commandery.

盧循逼京邑，孟昶、諸葛長民等建議奉天子過江，進廷議不可，面折昶等，高祖甚嘉之。 When Lu Xun threatened the capital, Meng Chang, Zhuge Changmin, and others proposed moving the emperor south across the Yangzi. Qiujin argued before the court that this was unacceptable and openly refuted Chang and his allies; the Founding Emperor was greatly pleased.

千餘人守故城，進攻破之。 More than a thousand men held the old city; Qiujin advanced, attacked, and captured it.

循又遣童敏之為鄱陽太守，據郡，進從餘干步道趣鄱陽，敏之退走，追破之，斬首數百。 Xun then sent Tong Minzhi as Administrator of Poyang to hold the commandery. Qiujin advanced overland from Yugan toward Poyang; Minzhi fled, and Qiujin pursued, defeated him, and took several hundred heads.
