三月，仁贍病甚，已不知人，其副使孫羽詐為仁贍書，以城降。 Third month: Renzhan was dying and no longer knew anyone. His deputy Sun Yu forged a letter in his name and surrendered the city.

今《周世宗實錄》載仁贍降書，蓋其副使孫羽等所為也。 The Veritable Records of Shizong credit Renzhan with a surrender letter—but that was forged by his deputy Sun Yu and the rest.
