 Yuwen mourned him greatly, and personally attended Su's burial, crying bitterly.In spring 547, the Eastern Wei general Hou Jing, who was in charge of Eastern Wei provinces south of the Yellow River, believing that Gao Huan had died (indeed, Gao had, although his son Gao Cheng was keeping the death a secret) and not willing to submit to Gao Cheng, surrendered the provinces initially to Western Wei and then to Liang.Yuwen conferred honorary titles on Hou, but was initially unwilling to send relief troops.
