文德元年十一月，蔡將申叢折宗權足，納款於太祖，使捍奏其事，加兼御史大夫。 In the eleventh month of Wende 1 the Cai general Shen Cong broke Zongquan's foot and surrendered; Han carried word of it to the Founder and received concurrent rank as Censor-in-Chief.

俄又宗權之眾，淩暴益甚，合圍攻壁，皆力屈而去。 Soon Zongquan's forces came with still worse violence, besieged the walls, and withdrew only when their strength gave out.
