又遣軍主戴僧靜向石頭助薛淵，自倉門得入。 He also sent Army Commander Dai Sengjing toward Stone Fortress to assist Xue Yuan; he entered from the Granary Gate.

時粲與秉等列兵登東門，僧靜分兵攻府西門。 At the time Can and Bing and others arrayed troops and ascended the eastern gate; Sengjing divided troops to attack the headquarters' western gate.

粲與秉欲還赴府，既下城，列燭自照，僧靜挺身闇往，粲子最覺有異人，以身衛粲，僧靜直前斬之，父子俱殞，左右各分散。 Can and Bing wished to return to the headquarters; having descended the wall, they set out candles to illuminate themselves; Sengjing advanced straight through the dark; Can's son Zui felt there was an unusual man and used his body to protect Can; Sengjing went straight forward and cut him down; father and son both perished; attendants each scattered.
