定齊三年，聞漢將韓信引兵且東擊齊，齊使華毋傷、田解軍歷下以距漢。 Three years after Qi had been settled, they heard that the Han general Han Xin was leading troops east to attack Qi. Qi therefore sent Hua Wushang and Tian Jie to encamp at Lixia and resist Han.

齊初使華無傷、田解軍於歷下以距漢，漢使至，乃罷守戰備，縱酒，且遣使與漢平。 Qi had previously stationed Hua Wushang and Tian Jie with troops at Lixia to hold off Han. But after the Han envoy arrived, they relaxed their defenses, gave themselves over to drinking, and dispatched envoys to negotiate peace with Han.
