初，筠建謀約諸將同力，控鶴左廂都校白再榮首匿於室不敢應，筠拔佩刀破幕引臂迫之，再榮不得已而行，諸將次第赴之。 When Yun first proposed the plot and called on the generals to join, Bai Zairong of the Crane Control Left Wing hid indoors and would not answer. Yun drew his sword, slashed through the curtain, seized his arm, and dragged him out; the others then fell in behind.

道恐諸將爭功復亂，乃以再榮前職貴加諸將，權推為留後，人心遂定。 Fearing fresh turmoil from the merit dispute, Dao cited Zairong's senior former rank and had him provisionally named acting governor; order was restored.

以控鶴一軍力戰，優加賜與，授再榮留後，筠博州刺史。 The Crane Control Corps was richly rewarded for its fighting; Zairong received the acting governorship, while Yun was given only the prefecture of Bo.
