是時，出帝遣人以書招趙延壽使歸國，延壽詐言思歸，願得晉兵為應，而契丹高牟翰亦詐以瀛州降，出帝以為然，命杜重威等將兵應之。 At that time the Deposed Emperor sent a letter summoning Zhao Yanshou to return to the state. Yanshou falsely claimed he wished to return and asked for Jin troops to coordinate, while the Khitan Gao Muhann also falsely offered to surrender Yingzhou. The Deposed Emperor believed them and ordered Du Zhongwei and others to lead troops in response.
