Chapter 9 Shihu (Stone Tiger) 2(2)
In the first month of Xiankang four years (338 years), the king of Former Yan Murong Huang sent an official Zhaoqian to Former Zhao, to inquire about the set-off date of troops. To prepare for attacking Duanliao, Shihu recruited warrior soldiers of thirty thousand people, and granted all of them with a title of Zhonglang (similar to captain). At that time, Duanliao Duanquyun sent Youzhou of former Zhao to attack. The governor of Youzhou, Li Meng, retreated to protect Yi Jing. Shi Hu appointed Taobao as general of Henghai and Wang Hua as general of Crossing Liao. He set out from PiaoYujin with an army of one hundred thousand through the waters. Zhi Xiong was appointed as the general of Longxiang and Yao Yizhong was appointed as the champion general. He led 70,000 infantry and cavalry troops to attack Duan Liao.
In March, Shi Hu marched into Jintai and was stationed there. Zhi Xiong marched on and reached Jistai. The local governors of Yuyang, Shanggu, and Daijun, appointed by Duan Liao, all surrendered and captured more than forty towns.
Duan Liao's leaders Liu Qun, Lu Chen, Cui Yue and others sealed their treasuries and asked Shi Hu to surrender. Shi Hu sent generals Guo Tai and Ma Qiu to lead twenty thousand light cavalry to attack Duan Liao. They captured Duan Liao's mother and wife in Miyun Mountain and beheaded three thousand people. Duan Liao rode away to a dangerous place. He sent his son Duan Qitezhen to present a table and a famous horse to the later state of Zhao. Shi Hu accepted.
