慶曆二年，元昊寇鎮戎軍，懷敏出瓦亭砦，督砦主都監許思純、環慶路都監劉賀、天聖砦主張貴，及緣邊都巡檢使向進、劉湛、趙瑜等禦敵。 In the second year of Qingli, Yuanhao raided Zhenrong Army. Huaimin advanced from Wating Fort and directed Fort Commander and Supervisor Xu Sichun, Huan-Qing route supervisor Liu He, Tiansheng Fort Commander Zhang Gui, and frontier overall inspectors Xiang Jin, Liu Zhan, Zhao Yu, and others to resist the enemy.

聞元昊徙軍新壕外，懷敏議質明襲之，乃命諸命將分四路趣定川砦：劉湛、向進出西水口，涇原路都監趙珣出蓮華堡，曹英、李知和出劉璠堡，懷敏出定西堡。 Hearing that Yuanhao had moved his army outside the new moat, Huaimin proposed a dawn attack. He ordered his commanders to advance by four routes toward Dingchuan Fort: Liu Zhan and Xiang Jin by the Western Water Pass, Jingyuan route supervisor Zhao Xun from Lianhua Fort, Cao Ying and Li Zhihe from Liu Fan Fort, and Huaimin himself from Dingxi Fort.
