將軍程千里時為副都護，大將軍畢思琛為靈察押衙，行官王滔、康懷順、陳奉忠等，嘗構譖仙芝於靈察。 General Cheng Qianli was deputy protector; Grand General Bi Sichen was Lingcha's chief adjutant; and staff officers Wang Tao, Kang Huaishun, and Chen Fengzhong had once slandered Xianzhi to Lingcha.

仙芝既領節度事，謂程千里曰：「公面似男兒，心如婦人，何也？」 Once in command, Xianzhi said to Cheng Qianli, "You have a man's face but a woman's heart — why is that?"

俄而北庭都護程千里入為右金吾大將軍，仍令常清權知北庭都護，持節充伊西節度等使。 Soon Beiting Protector Cheng Qianli was recalled to court; Changqing was left acting protector of Beiting and commissioner of Yixi as well.
