騫以校尉從大將軍擊匈奴，知水草處，軍得以不乏，乃封騫為博望侯。 As a colonel under the grand general he guided the army to water and pasture so the troops did not lack; for this he was enfeoffed as Marquis of Bowang.

康居聞漢已破宛，出郁成王與桀，桀令四騎士縛守詣大將軍。 Learning that Han had taken Ferghana, Kangju handed over the king of Yucheng; Jie assigned four horsemen to bind him and escort him to the grand general.

桀等遂追及大將軍。 Jie and his party then rejoined the grand general's column.
