明年，突厥沙缽略可汗犯塞，上令衛王爽為元帥，率眾擊之，以徹為長史。 The following year the Turkic qaghan Shaboluoe raided the frontier; the emperor made Prince Wei Shuang supreme commander and Che his chief of staff.

今者沙缽略悉國內之眾，屯據要險，必輕我而無備，精兵襲之，可破也。」 Now Shaboluoe has mobilized all his forces and holds the strategic passes; he is sure to underestimate us and be unprepared—a strike with elite troops can break him."

沙缽略棄所服金甲，潛草中而遁。 Shaboluoe abandoned the golden armor he was wearing and fled hidden in the grass.

沙缽略因此屈膝稱籓。 Because of this Shaboluoe bowed in submission and declared himself a vassal.

未幾，沙缽略為阿拔所侵，上疏請援。 Before long Shaboluoe was invaded by Aba and submitted a memorial requesting aid.
