生番鐵布者，居西傾山中，眾十餘萬，乘教匪猖獗，時出盜內地。 The aboriginal leader Tiebu dwelt in the Western Slope Mountains with more than a hundred thousand followers. While the sect rebels ran wild, he repeatedly raided into the interior.

爾漢以鐵布未叛亂，且地險，一構兵非數年不能平。 Erhan reasoned that Tiebu had not yet declared open rebellion and that the country was too rugged: once fighting started, pacification would take years.

鐵布奉回教，乃召其阿渾諭之，於是來首者踵至。 Tiebu was a Muslim, so Erhan summoned his religious teachers and won them over. Surrenders then began to arrive in a steady stream.

一日書姓名一紙，曰：此鐵布黨也。 One day he handed over a written list of names and said, "These men are Tiebu's confederates."

分遣百餘人捕之，悉就擒，鐵布遂定。 He dispatched more than a hundred parties to seize them, and every man named was taken. Tiebu's following was thus brought to heel.
