都元帥紐鄰留密裏火者、劉黑馬等守成都，悉率余兵渡馬湖，禽宋制置使張實，遂遣實招諭苦竹隘，實遁。 Supreme commander Nüyan left Milihuozhe, Liu Heima, and others to hold Chengdu, then crossed Mahu Lake with the rest of his force, captured the Song commissioner Zhang Shi, and sent him to call on Kuzhu Pass to surrender; Shi fled.

十三年八月，諭總管萬戶劉黑馬，據斜烈奏，忽都虎等元籍諸路民戶一百萬四千六百五十六戶，除逃戶外，有七十二萬三千九百一十戶，隨路總簽軍一十萬五千四百七十一名，點數過九萬七千五百七十五人，余因近年蝗旱，民力艱難，往往在逃。 In the eighth month of the thirteenth year, Chief Administrator Commander Liu Heima was instructed that, per Xielie's memorial, Huduhu had originally registered 1,004,656 civilian households across the circuits; excluding fugitives, 723,910 remained. A total of 105,471 soldiers were conscripted, but muster rolls showed only 97,575 present—the rest, worn down by recent locust plagues and drought, had fled.
