汴受圍數月，倉庫匱乏，召武仙等入援不至，哀宗懼，以曹王訛可出質，請罷攻。 Kaifeng had been under siege for months, and the granaries were empty. Wuxian and others were called to relieve the city but never came. In fear, Emperor Aizong offered Prince Cao, Eke, as a hostage and asked that the assault be halted.

或曰是時週邊不解，如在陷阱，議者欲推立荊王以城出降，是亦《春秋》紀季入齊之義，況北兵中已有曹王也。 Some say that at this time, besieged on every side as if in a trap, those deliberating wished to install Prince Jing and surrender the city—an act in the spirit of Ji Ji's surrender to Qi in the Spring and Autumn Annals—and besides, Prince Cao was already held among the northern forces.
