大金十二月。斡離不粘罕分道入侵宋。因平州張玨歸宋至於搆怨。東路之軍斡離不主之。建樞密院於燕山。以劉彥宗主院事。西路之軍粘罕主之。建樞密院於雲中。以時立愛主院事。國人呼為東朝廷西朝廷。於是斡離不之軍自燕山直犯河北。粘罕之軍犯河東陷朔武代忻等州。直趨太原。金之渝盟也一因張玨。帝所恃者童貫賈先臨敵逃歸。貫本庸繆。因蔡京為助。遂握兵權。貫今統兵身遠敵常數百里。是致將不先敵士不用命。屢見敗衂。庚申帝禪位太子。以道君號退居隆德宮。遣李鄴使金虜。告以內禪且求和（帝紀）。

In the twelfth month of the Great Jin, Wolibu and Nianhan invaded the Song along separate routes, animosity having arisen on account of Zhang Jue of Pingzhou defecting to the Song. The army of the Eastern Route was commanded by Wolibu, who established a Bureau of Military Affairs at Yanshan, with Liu Yanzong presiding over bureau affairs. The army of the Western Route was commanded by Nianhan, who established a Bureau of Military Affairs at Yunzhong, with Shi Li'ai presiding over bureau affairs. The people of the state called them the Eastern Court and the Western Court. Thereupon, Wolibu's army pressed directly into Hebei from Yanshan, while Nianhan's army invaded Hedong, overrunning Shuo, Wu, Dai, Xin, and other prefectures, heading straight for Taiyuan. The Jin's breach of the alliance was primarily due to Zhang Jue. Those whom the Emperor relied on, Tong Guan and Jia Xian, fled back upon facing the enemy. Guan was originally mediocre and foolish; relying on Cai Jing's assistance, he came to hold military authority. Now that Guan was commanding the troops, he himself stayed hundreds of li away from the enemy; this led to generals not preceding their troops against the enemy and soldiers not obeying orders, repeatedly suffering defeats. On the gengshen day, the Emperor abdicated the throne to the Crown Prince, took the title Daojun (Master of the Way), and retired to the Longde Palace. He sent Li Ye as an envoy to the Jin captives to inform them of the abdication within the palace and seek peace (Imperial annals).
