庚申，紀將侯叡率衆緣山將規進取，任約、謝答仁與戰，破之。 On gengshen day, Ji's general Hou Rui led men along the ridges to push forward; Ren Yue and Xie Daren met them in battle and broke them.

王琳、宋簉、任約、謝答仁等因進攻侯叡，陷其三壘，於是兩岸十餘城遂俱降。 Wang Lin, Song Zao, Ren Yue, and Xie Daren pressed Hou Rui, took his three ramparts, and more than ten cities on both shores submitted at once.
