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.
