宋主乃貶去帝號，再以書來請存社稷，語在《宗翰傳》中，既而宗弼追宋主，宋渡江，入於杭州，複遁入海，宗弼乃還。 The Song ruler stripped his imperial title and wrote again to beg the realm be spared—the story is in Zonghan's biography; then Zongbi chased him, Song crossed the Yangtze into Hangzhou, fled to sea, and Zongbi withdrew.

今撻懶撫定江北，宗弼以精兵二萬先往洛陽。 Tadan has pacified the country north of the river; let Zongbi march twenty thousand picked men to Luoyang first.

以八月往陝西，或使宗弼遂將以行，或宗輔、宗幹、希尹中以一人往。」 In the eighth month march on Shaanxi—either Zongbi leads the whole way, or one of Zongfu, Zonggan, and Xiyin goes."

帝至富平，婁室為左翼，宗弼為右翼，兩軍並進，自日中至於昏暮，凡六合戰，破之。 At Fuping Lou Shi took the left and Zongbi the right; both wings pressed from noon to dusk, fought six rounds, and shattered Zhang Jun.
