阻卜酋長磨古斯來侵，西北路招討使何魯掃古戰不利，詔撻不也代之。 The Zubu chieftain Mogusi came raiding. The Northwest Pacification Commissioner Helu Saogu fought without success, and an edict ordered Tabuye to replace him.

磨古斯之為酋長，由撻不也所薦，至是遣人誘致之。 Mogusi had become chieftain on Tabuye's recommendation. On this occasion Tabuye sent men to lure him in.

磨古斯紿降，撻不也逆於鎮州西南沙磧間，禁士卒無得妄動。 Mogusi feigned surrender. Tabuye went out to meet him in the sandy wastes southwest of Zhenzhou and forbade his soldiers to move rashly.
