周世宗時，從效遣牙將蔡仲興為商人，間道至京師，求置邸內屬。 During the reign of Emperor Shizong of Zhou, Congxiao sent general Cai Zhongxing disguised as a merchant along a secret route to the capital to request a diplomatic lodge and recognition as a Zhou dependency.

是時，世宗與李景畫江為界，遂不納，從效仍臣於南唐。 Shizong had just drawn the Yangtze as his boundary with Li Jing and declined the request. Congxiao remained a vassal of Southern Tang.
