隱帝遣開封尹侯益、保大軍節度使張彥超、客省使閻晉卿等率兵拒威，又遣內養瑽脫覘威所向。 The Hidden Emperor dispatched Hou Yi, governor of Kaifeng, Zhang Yanchao of Baoda, Yan Jinqing of the guest-reception office, and others to meet Wei in battle, and sent the palace attendant Zongtuo to track his march.

瑽脫為威所得，威乃附脫奏請縛李業等送軍中。 Zongtuo fell into Wei’s hands, and Wei used him to forward a memorial demanding Li Ye and his party be bound and delivered to camp.
