軍還，上聞之，收軍主前軍將軍陳天福弃市，左軍將軍中宿縣子劉明徹免官削爵付東冶。 When the army returned the emperor heard of it; Forward Army General Chen Tianfu, the army commander, was seized and executed in the market; Left Army General Liu Mingche, Baron of Zhongsu, was dismissed from office, stripped of his title, and sent to Dongye.

天福，上寵將也，旣伏誅，內外莫不震肅。 Tianfu had been one of the emperor's favored generals; once he had been executed, court and countryside alike were awed into discipline.

天福善馬槊，至今諸將法之。 Tianfu was skilled with the cavalry lance; to this day the generals take him as their model.
