是時，隋將韓擒虎及賀若弼等已濟江據蔣山，慧紀聞之，留其長史陳文盛等居守，身率將士三萬人，樓船千餘乘，沿江而下，欲趣臺城。 By then Sui generals Han Qihu, He Ruobi, and others had already crossed the river and seized Jiangshan. On hearing this, Huiji left his chief clerk Chen Wensheng and others to hold his post and personally led thirty thousand troops in more than a thousand tower ships downriver, intending to reach Taicheng.
