宇文悉獨官曰：「二國雖歸，吾當獨兼其國，何用人為！」 Siduguan vowed to seize their lands alone, saying, "Though both allies retreat, I alone shall annex their lands—why need others!"

悉獨官自恃其眾，不設備，見廆軍之至，方率兵距之。 Siduguan's overconfidence left camps wide open.

前鋒始交，翰已入其營，縱火焚之，其眾皆震擾，不知所為，遂大敗，悉獨官僅以身免，盡俘其眾。 Han's raid fired Yuwen tents and shattered their host.

及悉獨官寇逼城下，外內騷動，廆問策於嶷，嶷曰：「悉獨官雖擁大眾，軍無號令，眾無部陣，若簡精兵，乘其無備，則成擒耳。」 Pei said, "Siduguan masses a crowd yet lacks orders or formations—pick elite troops and strike unprepared—he can be captured."
