朝鮮相路人、相韓陰、尼谿相參、將軍王唊相與謀曰：「始欲降樓船，樓船今執，獨左將軍并將，戰益急，恐不能與，（戰）王又不肯降。」 The Joseon Chancellor Lu Ren, Chancellor Han Yin, the Chancellor of Nixi, Shen, and General Wang Xia plotted together. 'We had intended to surrender to the Tower Ships general,' they said, 'but now he has been arrested. The Left General alone commands both armies, the fighting grows fiercer by the day, and we fear we cannot hold out—yet the king still refuses to surrender.'

陰、唊、路人皆亡降漢。 Han Yin, Wang Xia, and Lu Ren all deserted and surrendered to the Han.

封參為澅清侯，陰為荻苴侯，唊為平州侯，長［降］為幾侯。 Shen was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Huaqing, Han Yin as the Marquis of Diqu, Wang Xia as the Marquis of Pingzhou, and Chang as the Marquis of Ji.
