先是,李穀駐軍於壽春城下,以攻其城,既而淮南援軍大至,乃與將佐謀曰:「賊軍舟棹將及正陽,我師無水戰之備,萬一橋梁不守,則大軍隔絕矣,不如全師退守正陽浮橋,以俟鑾輅。」 Earlier Li Gu had besieged Shouchun. When strong Huainan reinforcements arrived, he told his commanders: "The enemy fleet is nearing Zhengyang, and we are not equipped for river fighting. If the bridge falls, the army will be stranded. We should pull back intact to the pontoon bridge at Zhengyang and wait for the Emperor."
