《北史·列传·卷五十二》
这座城池地处要道，城墙坚固，尉迟迥已派兵占据。孝宽的部将都认为这座城池挡在路上，应先攻取。
进次怀县永桥城之东南，其城既在要冲，雉堞牢固，迥已遣兵据之。诸将士以此城当路，请先攻取。
This city was strategically located, and its city walls were strong. Yuchi Jiong had already sent troops to occupy it. Xiaokuan's generals all agreed that this castle was blocking their path, and that they should capture it first.
