城民有升高而望者，邏者執之，總管喀喀木以為敵諜，延著力爭，得不死。 Patrols seized a townsman who had climbed up to look around; Commander Kekemu judged him a spy, but Yanzhu argued fiercely and the man was spared execution.

喀喀木部兵擾城市，延著捕得械斃之。 Troops under Kekemu were harassing the city; Yanzhu arrested the offenders and had them strangled.

吏卒私掠被難婦女，延著親駐江乾，召其家，遣還者一千七百人，以此忤喀喀木。 Clerks and soldiers were seizing women caught up in the turmoil; Yanzhu went in person to the riverbank, called their families forward, and restored seventeen hundred women to their homes—an act that put him at odds with Kekemu.

喀喀木等擊敗成功，體坤乃復至縣，賂重、大受謁大吏，謂士民送款，冀掩棄城罪。 After Kekemu and the others routed Chenggong, Tikun returned to his post and bribed Chong and Dashou to lobby the senior officials, claiming the local elite had submitted in order to hide his own crime of deserting the county.

時喀喀木主軍事，新破敵，尤威重，素不慊於延著。 Kekemu then held military authority, had just crushed the enemy, and wielded exceptional power; he had long borne a grudge against Yanzhu.

民間謂延著之死，喀喀木實主之。 Popular rumor held that Kekemu was really the one who brought about Yanzhu's death.
