金帥粘罕入燕，首問平州事於故參知政事康公弼。 Jin commander Nianhan entered Yan and first asked Ping Prefecture affairs of former third-rank knower of government affairs Kang Gongbi.

公弼復粘罕曰：「彼無足慮。」 Gongbi again told Nianhan, "He is not worth worry."

使還，傳道斡離不之意，以為黏罕得朝廷所與餘睹蠟書，堅雲中國不可信，欲敗和約。 On his return he reported Wolibu's message: Nianhan had obtained a wax-sealed letter from the court to Yelü Yudu and insisted that the Song could not be trusted, intending to break the peace treaty.
